Task 18 - Initial Ideas

Music Video Pitch Script

For my A2 music video the song I will be using for my video is ‘Compliment Your Soul’ by Dan Croll. The video will be performance based with narrative elements included throughout which is similar to other videos of the same genre (Indie). The main reason I have chosen to make my video mostly performance based is that lyrics in the song are somewhat repetitive and basic, making it difficult to base a narrative around them.

However, the song I have chosen does not restrict me too much in the way of locations. The song is about love and does not focus on specific ages meaning that I can be very flexible in terms of actors and locations in which I choose to use. The video will most likely be illustrative which will be made obvious through the video’s miss en scene. It may also have amplification included also to help the video stand out from others.


The video will not be shot in one main location and will switch between throughout. It will feature two main actors in the narrative parts of the video that will follow a love story and then cut between the solo artist in the performance based scenes. As for locations, the video will be shot mostly outdoors in quiet locations so there are very little distractions for the viewer. Clothing will also be stereotypically Indie which can be seen clearly in the fashion planning task that has also been completed above.


By doing this task, I have a further understanding about how my video will look and what the story will be like. This will be incredibly helpful when it comes to story-boarding and the actual filming of the video.
