Why I chose the setting of Prospect Park?

  • Lighting - I could get the effect I needed such as the sunset.
  • No need to gain permission - No need to go to talk to local council.
  • Atmosphere is creates - Romantic aspects.
  • Fits genre - Park/Woods setting is popular choice of setting in this genre.

Questionnaire Results.

This is the link to the results to my questionnaire in which I asked 10 people of my target audience their views on what they want in a music video. I also drew conclusions on these results and talked about how I will incorporate these results into my music video.

Treatment

Music video Treatment:

Title: ‘Honestly, I’m a Fake’ by Goodnight Vienna

Genre: Alternative rock.

Narrative: Video starts as a group of friends, who will be the band members and their close friends, hanging out and having a laugh at the park in the evening. The main characters are made clear through the use of close ups and tracking of the characters. Lead girl catches sight of lead boy walking away from group and runs after and pulls boy back. There is then shouting and the girl gestures towards the other girl asking who she is? In the climax of the argument either the male or female lead will mime the title of the song, which is ‘Honestly, I’m a Fake’. The boy goes back to the other girl and the lead female actress stays where she is. When she finally turns around and start to re-join group there will be flashbacks to the relationship in the past and the good moments. Performance shots will be used after the flashbacks for the rest of the video with some crosscutting to close-ups of the lead actress expression and how the rest of the friends are still having a good time.
