Individual Work

Synopsis


When I listen to the song we have created the genre of our song is a rock song, a sort of beastie boys type music, which then makes me think what comes under this genre of music or more specifically what is the music videos like. Usually in this type of genre there are a lot of movement and not much standing around. What I propose to do is that the music sounds like there is a chase going on, at the beginning of the song there is a jazz bit which reminds me of old Americans times in 1940’s, a time of al Capone sort of thing. The idea I thought of is a man sitting in a bar enjoying a drink and a smoke when a policeman enters and sees the man, the man just glances from his drink to the man and realises who it is and then jumps and makes a break for the door and gets it, at this point the bass will have started and the man is now trying to get away from the cop. The cop isn’t dressed as a policeman but is dressed like an inspector. Throughout the video the man is trying desperately to escape, encountering 2 more inspectors, for the final scene we will see the man is cornered but then confronts the men and manages to get away in a car.

Treatment

Throughout the whole of the video it will all be in black and white, with a lot of wide shots and Long shots as well as medium Long Shot. The misc-en-scene will be a tough one as it is in black and white and so there isn’t much colour. However we will record things that have light shinning off of them as these will be made white in the edit. When editing we will put a filter on to make it black and white we will also make sure that most of our cuts will be reasonably spaced out between cuts. The quick cuts which we are using will be effective with our upbeat tempo plus we will also make sure the cuts are in time with the music. For the shot types which we will use, as I said earlier we will use wide shots and long shots, but we will also be using other types of shots as well, for example we will use a tilt to illustrate that the man is running away and that the world is an up hill climb. We will also use tracking shot where the actor is running towards the camera but as well as the camera moving back as well. I also think it would be a good idea to use Point of view shots to show what the position of the person is in. For shot length I would like to have some longer shots and not just have quick cuts to and from the action. With the movement in the shot I would like there to be lots of different shots showing the movement of the man running. I would also like there to be movement of the camera itself following the movement on screen. To add more effects and range of camera angles you could use high and low angle shots, for example you could have a shot of the man running away and place the camera on a bridge and as the man runs under the bridge you follow him with the camera. With the locations you can have a bridge where you can record on the bridge, for other locations you can use the suburbs where you can get a range of dodgy areas. Finally you can also use the docks in Ipswich as the final scene where the man gets away.
