costumes

Main character costumes

At the start of the video, the character is wearing clothes that a homeless man would wear E.G = ripped clothes and shoes.

Joggers

Plain t-shirt


Scruffy shoes
 

Once the character has realised he has won the lottery, his outfit changes to a more wealthier person.

Suit

Expensive shoes

The other characters that will feature in the music video will only be in the background so they will just wear normal/casual clothes. For example t-shirt, jeans, skirts and trainers. These pieces of clothing will make the main character stand out from the rest because of his unique style of clothing compared to the casual clothes that the background characters use.

Props

I have had to change the vehicle that was going to be in my music video originally because we had problems with it so this has resulted in using another pricey car that my character will purchase in the music video.

Audi keys

lottery ticket



Lots of money


Locations

 


I have chose this location because I believe it would be a great place for the main character (at his homeless stage of his life) to be lying down asleep as it acts a shelter.

I have chosen this location because this is the shop where my main character will buy his winning lottery ticket.








I have chose this location because this is the road where the shop is that my main character goes into. Also, this is where my main character will be lip sinking the lyrics to my song in a happy gesture.




I have chosen to use this location because this is where my character will be showing off everything that he has bought when he went out shopping whilst wearing his suit and tie.








I have chosen this location because this is where my character is going to throw his money up in the air. Its also going to be the location of my group lip sinking the lyrics.

I have chosen this location because this is where my character buys his new car and then drive away in it.

I have chosen this location because its the location of where the main characters new car is positioned before he drives away in the vehicle

I have chosen this location because this is where my character will be lip sining the lyrics to the song so it gives connotations of him recording the music for the song to be published.

Shooting script 

Video	Audio
The video will start off with of the main character who is sleeping under a bridge because he is homeless. The camera will then zoom into his head when the lyrics “I had a dream so big and loud”. The character is then in a sound booth setting up the equipment to be ready to record a one hit single. We then switch back to the character being homeless and we film her remaining amount of money that his left. He decides to go spend the last bit of money on a lottery ticket. He will be filmed walking towards the shop.	“I had a dream so big and loud I jumped so high I touch the clouds wo-o-o-o-o-oh wo-o-o-o-o-oh. I stretched my hands out to the sky we danced with monsters through the night wo-o-o-o-o-oh wo-o-o-o-o-oh” Time = 0:13 - 0:32  No FX No Narration
Once he has bought the lottery ticket, there will be a shot of the ticket numbers to see whether the character has won.   The next clip will be about checking to see whether he has got the winning numbers. Then the video will be showing the character being nervous and crossing his fingers.	“I’m never gonna look back woah, never gonna give it up no, please don’t wake me now” Time = 0:32 - 0:40 No FX No Narration
The lottery ticket becomes a winner, and then the main character runs out the shop. The character will start dancing outside of the shop in a crazy way. As he is walking alongside the street, the character will be lip sinking the lyrics to the song “this is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife”.	“This is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife this is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife” Time = 0:44 - 1:01 No FX No Narration
The character then goes shopping to change his style from this homeless type of clothing to a stereotypical rich person. He will then show off his new outfit. People will also be opening doors for the main character to show his superiority of being rich.	“I howled at the moon with friends and then the sun came crashing in wo-o-o-o-o-oh wo-o-o-o-o-oh but all the possibilities no limits just epiphanies wo-o-o-o-o-oh wo-o-o-o-o-oh” Time = 1:10 - 1:29 No FX No Narration
In this part of the song, I am going to be having a group of people singing the lyrics in a happy mood to keep the idea of the song continuing.	“I’m never gonna look back woah, never gonna give it up no, just don’t wake me now” Time = 1:29 - 1:37 No FX No Narration
In the part of the song, the main character will be buying a new car which is going to be aVolkswagen Beetle. This will then show how rich the character is and how he likes to spend his money. Once he has bought the car, he will drive off.	“This is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife this is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife” Time = 1:41 - 1:57 No FX No Narration
In this section of the music video, my main character will be showing off all of his money by throwing it in the air and dancing as it falls down from above him. Another feature that is going to be in my music video is that the main character will open a normal door to the video being cut to him opening the door to the sound booth to start performing the pop song.	“I hear it calling outside my window I feel it in my soul (soul) the stars were burning so bright the sun was out ‘til midnight I say we lose control (control)” Time = 2:07 - 2:26 No FX No Narration
The character will be singing in a music booth to give the connotations of him producing a pop song. When the song comes to an end, the music will be faded out corresponding to the video itself.	“This is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife this is gonna be the best day of my life my li-i-i-i-i-ife this is gonna be, this is gonna be this is gonna be the best day of my life” Time = 2:38 - 3:00 No FX No Narration
