Task 8: Final proposal

My music video is going to be in a similar style to Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team' where there is a distinctive narrative throughout. In addition to this, it will also have aspects and scenes of performance running through it such as the video for Sam Smith's 'Lay Me Down'. The video will follow the same speed and be continuous throughout.

Due to the fact that my video will have the target audience of 15-25+ young adults, I am going to keep the video in colour rather than giving it a black and white filter. The reason that I am keeping it in colour is to keep it modern and relatable to that generation. The narrative of the video is going to follow the love story of a young teenage couple who have an argument at the beginning of the video and then it will show the build up throughout the middle and towards the end of the video where they are going to make up; meaning that the video's narrative ends on a positive/happy note.


For the beginning of my music video, I am going to have the very first shot as a close up of Faye's face as she opens her eyes with the first beat of the song. The close up shot means that the artist will be introduced to the audience straight away and they can become familiar with her and know that she is the protagonist in the narrative of the video.


After all of the scenes in the video, there is going to be a fade/dissolve effect which then takes you to the next scene. I am going to do this so that it adds a sense of sophistication to the video and so that it looks like a real music video.
