One Page Pitch

Song: Brazil by Declan McKenna

This song is from the indie genre and has a really nice opening.

Locations: Chesterfield e.g was thinking of filming my street for a specific shot but then cutting to a shot at my house of my TV, then a shot of the school hall where someone is auditioning to get on TV but then dropping dead as it works with the lyrics. I could also film a few shots while in the hall of the main actor singing on a mic which will add to the overall effect to make it seem more realistic. There are a few problems with this however, one would be the fact I have to book the hall for a specific time frame to get the correct shots and make sure everything is done correctly. This may prove tricky as the hall is often in use. Another problem may be that there could be people walking around on my road or wherever I film the cars so I may need to check when is best to film. The school hall would have the perfect mise-en-scene to an interview scene as it is big and spacious.

How the audience will react to the song: I don’t know how others may react to the song but I love the rhythm and flow of the song, especially the opening. It has a nice and happy approach throughout and has an enjoyable and lovely tone. His voice has a calming effect in a way, I believe others may see what I am talking about.

Who it will actually appeal to: I believe people around the age of 17-25 would like the song, I also believe it may be more appealing to females as they like male singers who have a distinct voice/ vocal style. They may be in to other bands such as Catfish and the Bottlemen or maybe The Kooks as the singers all have distinct voices.

Props: Guitar, drums.

What we will wear: We will wear casual clothes for most of it but may do a transition in which we may wear more formal clothing.
I am also going to look up how to edit videos a bit more so I can make an effective music video that will capture the audience.

Overall effect: The video will not be fast paced but it could be used as an example of media and technology as there will  many types of camera shots and different types of editing which will show how technology has come on. The video will be slow and melodic but will have the occasional fast approach due to the song speeding up slightly. Bright effects will be used at the start of the song with the opening starting on guitar, quick shots could be used here.
