What I Plan To Do For My Video

I am planning on doing a music video for the band Sum 41 for the song "With me". I have chosen to do this song because its a very meaningful piece of music. It is about loving someone and relationships etc.

My video idea consists of two parts. the first part is with the band who are playing the music. i will have them play in a basement or garage area. The second part is focusing on a relationship. the relationship will be good to start off with them at the end will have fallen apart. You will see this by the guy screaming up at the house at the end and her ripping up love letters etc.

With the band sequences, i will have the bass guitarist and the lead guitar and vocalists setting up equipment whilst the drums play at the start. I will have this playing for 10 seconds roughly. Through out the video i will keep going back to the band but to make it look better, i will use different shots of the band. This will be done by having shots of them mid shot and then close ups on their faces and instruments. When night falls in the video, i plan to use lights on just their faces and key areas so it really homes in on the band and not the surrounding.

With the couple, I plan on having them walking along the beach front or walking through parks getting on happily. 10 seconds roughly for each shot of this. The boy will get with another girl and his current girlfriend sees. This is when i plan for her to run back to the where we saw them walking previously. She will run back to her house with the boy behind her. 5 - 10 seconds roughly each shot. Night will then fall in the video. This is where the boy is outside the girls house shouting up at her throwing stones etc. The girl is upstairs ripping up pictures and love letters. fire in the garden of her burning them? I will use various shots of them to show their expression on their faces. through out the whole of the couple sequences, I will slow them down so you can tell whats happening so it doesn't all go by so fast. as it is a slow song it will fit better as well.

End Shots:

• The end shot for the band will be of them putting down their instruments and walking out of the basement/garage and out of shot.

• I will have the girl crying as a close up/watching her burning her memories of the boy.

• I will have the boy sitting on the pavement head in hands/shouting up at the window still.
