SYNOPSIS

Song: Jhene Aiko ‘Stranger’7

Reason for the song choice: Shares a relatable message of love and heartbreak so that the audience can connect to the lyrics. The meaning can be decoded by the audience as it could be portrayed in a story line.

Key characters: Leiyla - lead female

Fred - lead male

Length: 3;30

Storyline: Our Artist Leiyla is attending a friend’s house party, she is dancing and having fun (here we will use panning and dolly shots to emerse the audience into the whole party atmosphere) the mood changes until she notices her ex-boyfriend is also there. Seeing him makes her reminisce about all the good times (shown through flash backs which will be in black and white or sepia tones so that the audience can distinguish that these are flashbacks) they had but seeing him flirting and looking at other girls at the party reminds her why he is her ex! ( these shots will be put in slow motion when edited to emphasise this to the audience) He pulls her a side, and eventually pulling her outside the party trying to win them over. Leilya again remembers all the other good times she had with previous boyfriends but remembers they were all the ‘same’ just ‘lame’. Her ex tries to make a move on her but she has the courage to reject him and pushes him back realising she can do much better. Then she goes back to the party and enjoys herself.

Other scenes: Include a typical convention of Rnb music videos, a choreographed dance routine. Leiyla will perform a solo dance routine. Her strong, sensual dance moves will stand out against an isolated setting and make her seem empowered, highlighting her rejection of her ex. In addition we will have some lip sync scenes where she will be against a wall so she is the main focus (here mainly using close up and mid shots to emphasise her emotion and attitude) that will be placed between the narrative scenes

Initial plan

We created a  very visual brainstorm of our intial ideas around the lyrics to show what would be happening in our music video during this point of the song in terms of narrative and shots which we also colour coded
