treatment


We will be making a music video for our A2 coursework, the song we have chosen is 'We get on' by Kate Nash. The reason for this song choice was because it tells a story throughout which we thought would be interesting to film, as we could follow the narrative of the song. Kate Nash's image is quite 50s and there we wanted this retro theme to be included in our music video. We decided to have the person playing Kate Nash to be singing in a jazz bar on a stage, with bright spotlights on her and lots of people. When we edit the video this part will be in black and white. through the video it will flick from the jazz bar to the story being acted out. The basis of the narrative is that there is this boy she likes and tries hard to get his attention, but it doesn't o well for her when she goes to a party and sees him kissing another girl. The image of our music video will be quite 50s and based around the look of Audrey Hepburn.
The video will begin in the jazz bar where she is singing and then go into a flashback where she is telling the audience the story for her and this boy, staring with her struggle to even speak to him and then her efforts to attempt to talk to him. When the story is being told, the video will then go back into colour, giving it a modern twist but still keeping the 50s feel through things such as the main girls clothes. We will have a number of locations; one for the jazz bar, Kate Nash's house, the boys house, the party and the park where she sits with her friends.
We would like our music video to appeal mainly to teenagers as this is the main audience of Kate Nash's music. The song relates well to teenagers through the issues of the girl liking the boy and we will base the music video around what teenagers enjoy doing themselves. We will be using a variety or shots and angles to make it more interesting and also in some cases to show the reactions of the characters. The girl will be singing in most of the music video, however in some parts we decided to just have her acting in some of the scenes to make it more interesting so we can have more happening in the scene.
