Our music video 'Whatsername' by Green Day will be a mix between band performance and story acted out.The story will be about a past relationship between a boy and a girl who will be also the main characters in the video.
The first scene will be the boy and the girl meeting on the street and start talking,looking very happy,but then the clip will fade out and it will show the boy lying in a bed dreaming about meeting the girl.(This fits with the lyrics of: Thought I ran into you down on the street, Then it turned out to only be a dream.
The guy then wakes up alone in his bed looking sad and lonely.
At some parts of the video there will be flashbacks of the boy and girl together in the past.We will use editing and specific low key lightning to point out that it had happened in the past.There will be some scenes where they are happy, and some scenes where their relationship starts to end. The flashbacks will also include their actual break up.All flashbacks will be slightly discoloured/edited to clearly show they are past memories.
The scenes with the boy that we will be set to be in the 'present’ will include one shots and close ups to underline the loneliness and his sad facial expressions.One scene will show the boy looking at old photographs of him with the girl, and then getting upset and angry followed by burning the photographs.(This fits with the lyrics of: I made a point to burn all of the photographs)
The final scene will be similar to the opening scene but instead, when the boy bumps into the girl,she is with her new boyfriend and they both just ignore the boy and walk straight past him.The boy will then just stand there alone (facing towards the camera in one-shot and the tracking camera gradually moving backward,whilst the girl and her new boyfriend walk off in the distance.
The parts of the video whit the band playing will be filmed first.Then at the end we will put the band performance and the actual story together.Shots of the bands will be mainly middle-shots and close-ups to show details of instruments,costumes,locations,etc.Some extra close-ups will be used too.
We will also use close-up shots when filming the boy and the girl together to reinforce the closeness they had in the past and mainly close-ups of the girl as the song is about her and the audience can get to know her better.
