Real Statement of Intent

 Real Statement of Intent

The title of my music video is called "Headphones on, Books closed". My music video will explore the fact that fans can find music as comforting but also as a distraction from important things like work and studying. The lyrics acknowledge how fans procrastinate their studies and continue to watch their favourite singers.The song I am using is in perspective of the singers, using the song as a playful warning to tell their fans to prioritize more important things. The lyrics, "Stop, now and study for your test" and "Your parents and boss hate me" shows how both artists and family feel about how people are slacking off. The storyline consists of a GCSE student who is falling behind on schoolwork and is constantly being told off by her family.The song I will be using is "Pied Piper" by BTS.

The intended audience for this music video is younger girl around the age 15-16. It could also be targeted to 17–18-year-olds since they could work and have A-Levels to focus on.

Stylistically, the video will make visual references to a number of films / music videos / directors I admire. For example, Kwok Cheung Tsang's 'Better Days' will be a particular source of inspiration. Its depiction of school life centres around the lives of young people, my music video will similarly tell the story of young people’s struggles through the eyes of the young, showing how music can help us through hard times and is a source of escapism. Similarly, I will be using Leehi’s ‘ONLY’ music video as inspiration for camera shots. I particuarly admire the director's use of camera shots and diagetic and non-diagetic sound.

In terms of Propp's character theory,I will be playing the schoolgirl who is procrasinating her studies (the princess), one of my family members will be playing my mother who is also going to be my motivation to work harder (the hero and the donor), a friend will play my best friend who is distracting me from schoolwork (the villain). The main locations I will be filming at is a cafe where the main protaganist will be studying, at home to produce the scenes with a family member who plays my mother and around school where the teachers will be helping the student find solutions to their problems.

Camera work

  Camera work 1) Three camera shots -The opening establishing shot clearly shows two characters having some sort of online meeting on their computer. This doesn't only set the scene but also confirms that something important is going on. -The close up on the characters faces successfully communicates the intensity of the scene and the mixture of being serious and humorous. This has the effect of causing the audience to feel tense but to crack a few laughs. -The over-the-shoulder shot shows the two characters who play mother and son on call with the other characters
