risk assessment
treatment
Proposed Title/Song: Birdy Skinny Love
Synopsis of song lyrics: the lyrics are about a relationship that didn't work and she is asking for things to have worked and gone back to normal. She just wanted the relationship to last the year.
Proposed storyline and characters: the video will reflect the lyrics by having a relationship that didn't work but it has a twist as in the video the man is dead and she is looking back at the relationship and the reason why they are not together. i have decided to make the male character dead to make the music video different to other types of genres. however i have to think about my target audience and whether this might upset them or leave an impression.
Setting: the video is going to be set in the woods for the most part. i have also decided to film a performance for my music video on a stage as well as having some scenes in a bedroom.
length: the song is around 3:39 so this is how long the music video will be.
format: digital and edited on Final Cut ProX
style: the genre for this music video is soul and indie. it will have some elements of dark and depressing times. this is why i have filmed some of the scenes at night to add a dark and sad feel to the music video.
camerawork/ type of shots: i will have a lot of close ups on the artist to show her emotions and her feelings about the death of the man she loves. i will also have alot of long shots to emphasise the singer being alone and isolated from the crippling feeling of losing love. i have also got some tracking shots of the artist as i wanted to make it seem as if the male was still alive and was filming her.
length of shots/editing: the video will feature many long takes as the mood and style of the song is slow and depressing. the cuts are also slow and there will be long takes which creates the mood of sadness and lost love.
movement and action: the character will often be seem walking around the woods alone to show her loss of love.
visual qualities: the video will be shot in colour. both Izzy and James will be wearing casual clothes, so that they can be relatable to the target audience. i will also add some special effects to the music video to add to the mood the lost love.

pre- production script
I will use different parts of the woods to film this music video, to keep it interesting
EXT. woods - night 7.00am
a establishing shot of the sky with the stars shinning which moves to long shot of a girl walking through the woods. this is going to be followed by a continuity shot of her walking through the woods using different angles and a mixture of close-ups, mid shots and long shots.
EXT. woods -night 7.00am
the girl reacts the tree where there will be a dissolve of the boy she loved. then followed by a close-up and a extreme close-up. this is then cut between a long shot of the girl run down the woods past turning back to smile at the camera which will be positioned so that it appears she is smiling at the boy she loved. then a close up of the girl again to show their love has died.
EXT. woods - night 7.00am
a eyeline match of the girl looking a the stream, then a mid-shot of the stream followed by a mid to long shot of the two walking down the stream together.
EXT. woods-early morning
a long shot of the girl lying on the woods thinking of the boy. it will also be a intertextual reference of the original music video where the girl burs into the background, which is what i will do.
EXT. woods -early morning
a close up of her hand on the wood crunching up the leaves on the floor. then a over the shoulder shot of the girl looking at the boy walking through the woods.
EXT. woods -early morning
long shot of the girl making her way through he trees, this is followed by a close up of her struggling thinking of the boy. and then a low angle shot of her feet moving through the woods. ( she will be barefoot)
EXT. woods -early morning
montage shot which consists of close-ups, mid-shots and long shot.
EXT. woods
birds ye view of the girl lying down on the ground and them turning to look at the camera. this is an intertexual reference to the film Twilight and how true love never dies.
EXT. woods
a mid shot of the girl leaning on the tree thinking of the boy who will be dissolved in the background. there will also be a still of the girl thinking of the boy.
EXT. woods
this will be a reply of the beginning to show how she will never get over him and always think of him.
