Pitches!

We have had some discussions about the song that we are doing and from this made 3 pitches for the videos. All three are very different from each other and each one can have potential for a strong music video. Here are the three songs that we discussed:

Pitch 1!

Manfred Mann:


This is the song which we have decided to use for our coursework. We chose this because it will not have the same problem as all current songs; that they all have a music video which goes with them. So if we were to attempt to make a new video for the song, it would just be compared with the original, making ours look worse.

We are planning on holding auditions to find a group of male singers, who can hopefully play instruments. If this all goes to plan then we wouldn't need get permosion off anybody.
If not then we can use a karaoke version of the song and just have some singers cover it.

As our back up plan we are going to find a full cover - instrumental and vocal -of the song off youtube or another website, and get their permision to use their song.

Genre: 60s swing

Track: 'Do Wa Diddy' cover

Dresscode: boys; Leather Jackets?, jeans, sunglasses? 60's 'cool' look.

                girls; 60's dress? Floaty tops, skirts. Some a little over the top.

                The main girl, very understated

Camera angles: Panning shot from the main girls feet. Right up to her face to show her fully.

Medium shot of the main boy surrounded by a group of girls trying really hard to get his attention.

Long shot to show the audience the full location, cast, and mise-en-scene.

Location: A street, someones front door, a living room

Actors: Ben Garner - Main Boy, Girls - Chloe Berry, Jasmine Hartley, Chloe M.

Basic Plot - Ben is sat on the street. Surrounded by a group of over the top girls, trying really hrd to get his attention. Then he see a very understated, attractive girl walking along the other side of the road. At this point he gets up and goes in her direction and she turns towards him. They are a couple. As the video goes on we see them fall more in love.


Here is the karaoke version, which we would be using: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAuY_ZWj0No
