INTRO: The opening shot will look slightly like this, with the floorboards being the main shot with a faded light, the title will zoom in and fade out before the actors go into the shot. This first scene will be silent for roughly 10 seconds before the song begins the video features three actors moving in and out of the shot using pulleys. I like the light effects and will replicate both the movement of the actors and the lights as they are entertaining, quirky and portray the brand image of my artist. In order to do this, I will strap my camera to a metal stand to get the same downward facing shot. I will also be exploring different fonts PRE-CHORUS: This is my second shot for the pre-chorus, the duration of which will feature only one of my actors who is also the artist of the song lipsyncing.

Lighting Whilst deciding on the lighting for my video I explored numerous options and combinations to see which ones are both aesthetically pleasing and effective in matching the tone of the video whilst complimenting the actors' clothing.

I want my video to be quirky, innovative and entertaining. To capture and display this to my audience the location plays a vital role, in my video, I will be using two locations floorboards in a hall and a white wall. The reasoning behind these choices stemmed from the inspiration I had gotten from other examples of music videos I deemed quirky and entertaining. They all shared one common effect which is lighting, therefore in order to display the lighting effects to its fullest capacity I chose plain walls and floorboards as they don't overpower the lighting effects, pull focus from the main actors in the video and distract the audience. The lighting will consist of red and white lighting as they are the right colours to not create too much of a distraction for the audience.
