Final Pitch

Today, Hannah and I compared both of our final narrative ideas. It was clear when we spoke to one another that our favourite theme was to revolve around friendship, as we feel it is an inclusive theme that relates to everyone and also light hearted and fun.

So here is our pitch...

Before the song begins we will have a section where two young girls meet, over their love of music. An extreme close up shot will show they keys of a piano being played. A wide shot will then show the back of a young school girl, with blonde hair, playing the piano. She will be playing a simple version of the chorus of You've Got The Love . A wide shot will show another young girl, with brown hair, sitting next to her and joining in with the piano playing. We will then see the blonde girl giving a bracelet to the brunette girl. The significance of the colour hair of the girls will portray what girl they are in the rest of the music video. A close up will show the two girls bracelets saying 'best' on one and 'friends' on the other.

A quick shot change will then show our artist, Chelsea Green, lip syncing in a living room looking through a photo album. She will then pause on one photo, where a zoom shot will be used. This photo will then 'come to life' as it will be a freeze-frame of the start of the scene.

The verses will be a mixture of events the girls have gone through together and then also a range of lip syncing. The choruses will be made up of fast pace montages of all happy memories of the girls friendship. We will repeatedly go back to the photo album to show freeze frames of scenes, where we will zoom into the photo. This inspiration came from the One Direction - Story of My Life Video, that I previously analysed.

Throughout every shot there will be a significance of the friendship bracelet. This may be a zoom in or slow motion focusing on the bracelet, or just the knowledge that both girls are wearing them.

At the musical break element of the song we will use a 360degree shot with a selfie stick. This will work by completing a full 360degree circle with a selfie stick at each location and merging all the different locations together. The selfie is a new shot that can be used in media, so by using it in our music video will allow our video to remain current and fun for the audience to watch.

The end verse will be a mixture of lip sync and an event, to bring the music video to an end.

The end of the song finishes with a 7 second piano melody, which links in with the beginning of our story. Therefore we will cut back to the two young girls and see them perform this melody. As the music ends they will shut the lid of the piano keys and the focus will zoom into the two bracelets.
