Audience

Resume
For the song “ Just like a pill” The lyrics will be the base for the music video as the lyrics will have references in the music video.
For Example, the first line “I’m lying here..” the performer playing Pinks role will be lying down lip sinking the words.
The Video will have a slight narrative of the performer breaking up with a boyfriend and thinking about him, letting go of their past relationship and accepting the break-up.
The narrative will include scenes of the performer burning a photograph of their ex- partner. It will also include running / walking scenes of the performer walking towards the camera during some parts of the chorus as it fits in with the lyrics. We may use some hand held shaky camera work for some of these scenes. This will have connotation of anger, confusion and frustration which is how the singer is feeling in the song.
We will also have some random scenes which do not fit with the lyrics but will go with the dark and sad theme running through the music video such as…
Key locations
We will be filming in many locations. These include Manchester City centre, Market Street and Loreto College.
(Loreto College scenes)
We will be filming some of the music video in Loreto College. Settings up a small area to look like the performers “home”. We could do this in a staff room or chaplaincy.
(Market Street Scenes)
We will be filming some scenes around Manchester city centre. One key location will include Market Street. They will be mainly mid- shots / close up shots and of them performer walking towards the camera.
(Manchester Urbis scenes)
We are going to be filming some shots on Urbis, near the fountain. We will do mostly close-sups and wide shots, of the performer sitting on a bench looking a picture.
Suggested Elements We many also use the studio to film a performance as it’s a black room. This may include the performer singing into a microphone and we will use green screen to add image such as “fire” in the background.
Costumes
The performer will be wearing mostly black or dark clothing as well as sometimes a pink item E.g. a pink t-shirt. This will symbolize the iconic singers name and form of dress.
Main costumes will include: Skinny jeans, converse, boots, T-shirt, shorts.
Chaplaincy
Common Room
EXTREME CLOSE UP-This helps you look at the facial expressions of the performer, and how into the song he really is.
LOW ANGLE SHOT-This is effective because you are able to see the buildings of the city, which makes this a great a location.
WIDE SHOT-This is great because we can see how plain and white the room is and it make the piano and performer stand out.
CLOSE UP- There are a lot of close ups during the video, close ups are always effective because you are able to see the performer.
As you can see by these screenshots, there is different lighting through out the video, in the White Room and Basketball Court the lighting is high key which makes it look bright and warm, however on the roof and in the corridor, the lighting is low key, which makes it look dingy and eerie.Music Video: We will be recreating the music video for Professor Green ft Lily Allen – Just be good to green.

Resume
We are giving the video a narrative, which includes members of our group acting it out as the singers Professor Green and Lily Allen. The narrative is based on the lyrics which we interpreted as an argument based on a rocky relationship between the two.
The narrative will include scenes of the couple together and then arguing, one scene in particular will be of the couple in a coffee shop and the person acting as Lily Allen will storm out of the coffee shop and walk down the street. This will include various shots such as Close-Ups, Tracking Shot and Mid –Shots. There will be shots of “Lily Allen” and “Professor Green “On the phone to one another, walking towards and through a park.
We will need to ask permission from a coffee shop nearby preferably with sofas, if we can film some of the music video there.

(Alexandra Park – Tilt shot)
