Cast

I will have a narrative in my music video, therefore the main characters that will play the boyfriend and girlfriend in my music video will be my friends. Once I had chosen the song and setting, I began to make decisions regarding cast and filming. The main singer will also be the girlfriend that is being presented, due to the song being about a breakup I will show these characters in a happy relationship at first and towards the end I will show them unhappy and broken up.



Therefore, to make my idea successful and create the right atmosphere to go with the song, it was crucial that I chose a suitable cast. I decided that I needed a band 4+. Also the main singer had to be a female otherwise the lip syncing wouldn't of looked real as the person that sings the song is a female, and the narrative revolves around her. I also made sure I had people that could already play interments to make it look as real as possible.



For the lead female singer I had to think of someone that was confident and outgoing. Talia can sing and also likes drama, so I chose her as I believed she would be the best actress for the music video. Also she looks the part as well as looking the part and being suitable for the target audience as she will appeal to them.

Lyric Summary

The lyrics in this song could be seen as aggressive, due to a girl explaining her feelings towards a man that she once loved. The song is about a breakup and how it has effected the girl but has a aggressive twist to it; which isn't like regular break up songs as you would usually see in the pop genre. Therefore this twist immediately represents the indie/punk genre as it is rebellious and is similar to songs created by Avril Lavigne and The Ting Tings. After analyzing the lyrics, I decided I want to portray the lyrics through visuals; which links to Goodwin's Theory. Consequently, I have highlighted lyrics that portray her emotions; where triplets and repetition are used to emphasize. Therefore having fast camera shots to show her anger and a wide variety of her as the main focused I believe would work best in order to convey these lyrics through the music video. I also think when the lyric 'take me down' is sung, it would be interesting to use different low angle shots to make her seem low and vulnerable. 

My Chosen Song Lyrics

Why did you leave, leave me for here?
All on my own, dragged me out by my hair
Spit it out, spit out in my face
Everyone saw I just can't hid the shame

Do you know it's not okay to be like that
Try to be a man and not that boy in the corner
Really makes me wonder if there's anyone anyone, anyone out there who knows how it goes down

Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down, down
Lala, like you never did before
Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down down
There was not a final end in sight

Never had to make a choice before between to you

Didn't you know darling, you just weren't made for me, you just weren't made for me
I use to think it was you and me against the world
You said it was okay to be like that
 Didn't know what was right, I just didn't have the fight in me, just couldn't fight

Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down, down
Lala, like you never did before
Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down, down
There was not a final end in sight

So I was breaking free, and growing up and growing strong
but in myself ...all the feelings they were so wrong
I've be cured, I was cured of my infliction
and all the infliction I felt before was gone

Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down, down
Lala, like you never did before
Didn't think you'd be the one to take me down
down, down down
There was not a final end in sight

So I was breaking free, and growing up and growing strong
but in myself...all the feelings they were so wrong
I've been cured, I was cured of my infliction
and all the infliction I felt before was gone
and all the infliction i felt before was gone
