TREATMENT

We originally chose to focus on the hip hop genre, researching Kayne West's song 'No church in the wild'. After attempting to create our music video to this song, as a group we agreed it would be challenging to produce professional outcome. For our music video, as a group we have chosen a new genre of, Alternative Rock. The main reason for choosing this genre was because of the broad variety of music that is popular throughout the a wide range of audiences. The artists emotions and expressions can be shown within the lyrics, as the majority are written and composed by the artists, unlike most songs within the pop genre.  Use somebody by Kings of Leon is the main focus of our music video project. The reason for choosing this song is that they lyrics are simple, resulting in the main actor being able to lip-sync to the original audio track.

The actors we will use for this video will be a four membered male band and one female. The reason for choosing four males is that,  it portrays a stereotypical rock band. The costume for the males will represent the rock genre, wearing a casual attire such as t-shirts and jeans. The females roll in the video is to symbolise a romantic aspect, relating to the emotion within the song.

During the song, we will show clips of our band on a stage with a number of lights giving the appearance that they're at a concert. We will involve a small crowd however using carefully selected camera angles to give a different effect of a larger crowd. Throughout the clip we aim to show the female and the main band member to symbolise a love narrative.

EDITING SCHEDULE

RISK ASSESSMENT FORM- CHURCH

CHURCH PERMISSION

To get permission to film in the church we had to email them. They did not email back so we contacted them by telephone instead, we made our plans to film inside the church over the phone after they had given us permission.

RISK ASSESSMENT FORM- HOUSE

FIRST PLAN - PROP LIST

Before filming our music video we need to think about what props we need to include so that it makes it easier to when we come to filming. firstly we will need a camera to film the video and a tripod to make sure out filming is precise and not shaky to get a better quality video. Then the props we will need for in the video is a cross, flag and a bible.  we will use a camera and tripod from our school media department, we will then buy a British flag, make a wooden cross and borrow a bible from one of our friends.

FIRST PLAN- COSTUME PLANNING

I created a mood board by looking through magazines to find the type of clothing and jewelry i feel is stereotypical of the R&B music genre. I noticed that most of their clothing is black with jeans and then lots of gold jewelry. I then created a mood board of famous R&B artists to show how they are dressed to get further inspiration. 
For our 3 main actors we have chosen to have their costumes consisting of plain black clothing with jeans and gold jewelry to keep with the stereotypes that i have found when researching into R&B music videos. I have added pictures of examples of what we are planning our actors to wear when filming our music video.
