List of Band Shots


In preparation for our band shoot tomorrow, we wrote down all of the band shots that we need, with the durations, lyrics, shot type, and who is in the shot. We also colour coded them to make it easier to pick out who is in each shot. There is a key at the top of the photo.

Group Timetable



To figure out when we could do extra filming in our free periods, we created a group timetable of of our frees to decide when would be the best possible time.


Music Video Questionaire

1) Who will be your target audience?


I believe that our target audience will be young people, mainly teenagers. I think that the song will appeal to both sexes as it does not have serious lyrics, and it is a catchy song. It will probably apply people 13+ as they may start to have relationships at this time and experience what the characters go through in the video.


2) What genre of music is your chosen track?


The genre of the track is indie/rock.


3) What conventions does this style of music use in its videos?


There are many conventions during these music videos such as dark locations, showing long shots of the bands, being fast paced, and using a lot of close ups and extreme close ups. Some of these coventions can be seen throughout our music video, such as the long band shots and a lot of close ups. I feel that our video is also fairly fast paced.


4) What type of music video will you film?


Our video is a mixture of narrative and performance, flicking between the two. We wanted the video to show a typical teenage life, and therefore we are using a lot of light locations and places that teenagers would spend a lot of time, like their bedrooms.


5) Describe the characters in your video.


In our video we have two protagonists, a girl and a boy. They used to be together, but they broke up and the narrative of the video shows them meeting at a party and then the girl being rejected by him again. In our video we also have the girls friends when they are getting ready in their bedroom. Then we have all of the extras during the party scene.


6) Where will you film your video?

We have chosen different locations for our video, such as in two separate bedrooms for the getting ready scenes, someone elses house or garage for the party and then a separate outside location for the band to play in. We also have locations such as a bus stop and the girl running through a field.


7) What type of media institution will show your video?


As our video is in the indie genre, it would most likely be shown on television channels such as MTV, Q, NME TV, Smash hits and TMF. This would allow us to show our song directly to the target audience, as this is where they would most likely watch music on their televisions. We could also show our video on the band websites and also on video websites such as youtube.


8) How do media technologies affect the consumption of music videos?


The technologies can make videos more glamorous by putting them on television. They can also make them much more accessible and better for viewing with things such as HD television. The fact that you can get hold of almost any video on the internet now is also due to media technologies, and that is one of the advances of the 21st century.

Annotated Lyrics of our Final Song Choice

Lyrics of my favorite song choice

You order margaritas for your friends
In the trendy bars at the world's end
I can see death there consoling old girlfriends
Says there's a guest list place down in heaven

It's a familiar feeling
I'm high as the ceiling
And I'm never ever coming down

Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna steal your heart away
Their naughty words, words
That take the devils breath away
Inside your world, world
Like plastic Californ-i-a
Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna have their wicked way
With you

You put the fun back into the funeral
You've got your head, back, feet on the table
You speak the strangest tongues with your close friends
To decorate the walls of your weekend

And when you've got them kneeling
They look less appealing
But you're never ever coming down

Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna steal your heart away
Their naughty words, words
That take the devils breath away
Inside your world, world
Like plastic Californ-i-a
Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna have their wicked way
With you

With you
I guess it's just something
For boys don't like to
Talk, talk, talk about

Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna steal your heart away
Their naughty words, words
That take the devils breath away
Inside your world, world
Like plastic Californ-i-a
Those dirty girls, girls
Are gonna have their wicked way
With you
