Pitch One

The main theme that we have thought about is friendship, however I have also come up with a narrative that has another theme.

'You've Got The Love' is a song about love, obviously, therefore I believe we should explore a narrative that includes a love theme. Here is the idea that I came up with...

The main shots of the video are point of view shots, so the audience can make a relationship with the characters easily. To begin with the camera will walk down a busy market, full of happy excited shoppers. A wide shot would then be used to show a male character, then a zoom into a close up to identify the man on the lyric "sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough'. A shot reverse shot would then be used to show the identity of the girl.

We would then go on a journey through the couples relationship, the first date, the second date, the meeting of the parents. Fast pace shots would show the couple on holidays, at adventure parks and completing fun activities, this would take part in the first chorus. When the speed of the song then slows down again, slower pace shots will then be used to show the couple getting engaged, married and having their first child. By seeing these important life events we feel as if we have followed the couple on their journey. A timpelapse then shows the child growing up, starting school, leaving school, starting work, bringing a girl home and leaving his house to buy his own. These shots will be shown in the second chorus. It will then cute to a hospital bed screen using a close up shot. Another wide shot then shows a female hand holding on to a males hand which is covered in wires and drips. A wide shot is then used to display an old male laying in a hospital bed with his wife by his side. As we have followed the couple though their journey it is obvious that it is the same couple. This also creates high sad emotions for the viewers as they feel as if they know the couple theirselves. There is then a shot change on the lyrics 'But you've got the love I need to see me through', where a wide shot is used to show the back of an elderly woman facing a graveyard, dressed in blacked. This is sure to create a sad emotion for the viewer and as death is something that effects every single person, they will definitely relate to it. If the video does effect a lot of people effectively, viewers will tell their friends to watch it and the video will gain popularity.

This narrative would be an amplified video as I have used the lyrics to create the story. 'You've got the love I need to see me through', can be analysed to say that as long as she has that persons love she can go through anything, this matches the last scene of the elderly woman in the graveyard as she knows that her husband and her had a love-filled life.
