Music Video: We will be recreating the music video for Pink- Just like a pill

Duration: 03:58

Audience

The video will contain language that may not be suitable for very small children. It will mainly appeal to a teenage audience, mainly female (16+). Also it may appeal to people into Rock / Pop Rock.

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.
