Casting

Train Track Tracey

Our music video requires the casting of Train Track Tracey who is the lead singers "dream girl" in the narrative. As a group, we decided that Tracey would be a young Caucasian women with an indie style. To find the person that best represented this, we photographed a number of girls who fit the description.

Female 1

We decided that this female didn't fit the indie genre and did not chose her to play TTT.

Female 2

We felt that this female wasn't particularly what we were looking for so we will not cast her.

Female 3

We decided that this female will play Train Track Tracey as she fits the description and is also very photogenic which will come across well on film.

Extras
As we are filming at train station, we had to make the decision whether there would cast actors to stand  with our main characters. To portray the lead singer as a typical indie individual, who doesn't conform to mainstream ideals, we could potentially surround him with middle aged men in suits.

This man fits the description we previously agreed on but through further discussion, we decided that we will have no men in suits at the train station. There will only be a few people around which will isolate the lead singer and Tracey at the station and make there meeting more significant.

Location

The location we are using for our music video is Hampstead Heath. To make sure the location was suitable for shooting, we took photos and carried out a risk assesment.

Hampstead Heath

We wanted our music video to have a mystic, dream-like feel to it and the secluded pathways and over hanging trees create this. It also had to be easily accessible as we had to bring the instruments/technical equipment with us. This would be possible as there is a main road that runs along the forest but is not visible.

Risk Assesment

FINAL TREATMENT

“Train Track Tracey”

Locations:

-Hampstead Heath (Forest)

-Edgware station

This music video will be shot using a digital camera. The video will be performance/narrative with the performance and narrative scenes being shot through high colour contrast.

Scene 1

The music video begins with the lead male at the train station falling asleep. MS of the lead male. SC to a CU of the lead male’s eyes closing. (Natural lighting.)

Scene 2

SC of lead males eyes closing, dissolve to a CU of the bass drum in a forest.

Scene 3

SC to the band playing in the wood MS of the drummer

Scene 4

SC to a MS of the female ‘Tracey’ running away from the lead male in a snowy field. (show confusion by using fades)

SC to a CU of lead males face. camera pans around male to show his search. SC to  POV shot of the forest. SC back to males face.

Scene 5

Various shots of the chase sequence, cant tell who's chasing who.

Scene 6

Series of Tracking MS of lead male walking towards the camera linked together by fades. (Editing will be slowed down to emphasise the dream like state.)

Scene 7

Cut away to LS of band playing. CU of band members playing instruments when they are prominent in the song.

Scene 8

SC back to the band; a selection of shots compiling of CU’s, MS’s and high/low angles etc specific to the register and tone of the song.

Cut in and out from performance to narrative of music video will continue for majority of song.

Scene 9

Wide shot as the band finishes the song.

Scene 10

SC back to the real world (lead male is standing where the music video began) SC to a wide shot of male walking around station. TTT comes out of station and video ends just as the male recognises her. (diagetic sound of buses in background)

END.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is our final treatment after making revisions on it based on our feedback. 1 problem we came across with the original treatment was the permission we needed to shoot on the train. We felt obtaining this would be troublesome so we decided to film just out side of the station. We also made the treatment a little bit clearer so it would be easier to follow once we begin filming.



Storyboards

We have created a visual accompaniment to our treatment in the form of a storyboard. This will be beneficial when we come to shooting and is the most effective way to plan out our music video.
