I like the Live! Series as it features a set of characters and I would like to approach the music video as well with a similar style, not in the sense of the dancing number though, more in the sense that there is a story and characters. I feel that if we approach the music video with the sense of characters it will help develop a story for the main audience watching and would keep them more entertained.

Hairspray - You Can't Stop The Beat (Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade)

This song originally was part of the Grease movie songs of which were set to be in the movie, I like this song as it really tells a story within the song and really gives way to do a narrative song style.

As well as that, I chose the song due to its practicality of it, since its shorter than most songs, it would require less editing and less scenes to film. Leaving us with more time to focus on higher quality if needed be or more time to re-film if certain scenes do not work.

Ahh, a true goosebumper! Johnny was the lead singer for Sha-na-na, what a voice!

Since the Song choice originally was meant to feature within the original Grease film, it really did start my research there to see if I could fit the song to any styles.

Though, the 50's innocence and crisp cut behaviour take on it all, will ensure that we will ensure the music video will be happy with a positive message without sexual content, like the brief requirements are set to be.

If all goes to plan, filming would be able to take place during the February month, leaving a few weeks for the evaluation of the project, the post editing of the film and the market research to see wether the music video itself is suitable for the brief and the audience itself.

If we don't get certain aspects sorted, such as the costume or props, in the look of the required time, one plan is to just make it have a more modern look and still follow the story line.

If certain locations are not able to be gathered, due to too much hazards or unavailability, I also had an slightly changed alternate way the storyline of the music video could go.

If we end up filming overtime due to timing, we will be filming filler shots to help fill up the timing for the video.

A major health and safety risk that always would occur with this music video is the fact that of course, working within an auto shop is hazardous and that you would have to be careful with the machinery.

Of course are there always other issues that might arise, such as filming out in public areas and walking into objects like trees due to the focus.

What's that playing on the radio,
why do I start swaying to and fro
I have never heard that song before,
but if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me,
sends a thrill right through me
Cause those chords remind me
of the night that I first fell in love to

Those magic changes
my heart arranges
A melody that's never the same,
a melody that's calling your name
It begs you please, come back to me
Please, return to me,
don't go away again,
oh make them play again
The music I wanna hear is once again,
you whisper in my ear
Oh my darling

I'll be waiting by the radio,
you'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so long since our last goodbye,
but I'm singin' as I cry
While the bass is sounding,
while the drums are pounding
Beatings of my broken heart
will rise the first place of the charts

Oh my heart arranges,
oh those magic changes

As you can see, the lyrics are highly suggestive of a narrative story. Showing the story that I had been telling to give out the idea of the music video.

Though not sorted out yet, I was going to ask Harlow college drama students if they would partake in the music video. This would be able to benefit us (The production team) and the actors at the college due to the fact that communication will be able to be pretty accessible, as they would be on the same location as us most times. As well as that it would be beneficial as they have been trained to uptake roles for characters and productions like the whole live! vibe needs.

With this kind of music video, there will need to be a varying change of shots to enable the audience to understand the emotion of the characters and whats happening in the events of the story.

We would need shots such as close ups, maybe with a pan movement, to show the intensity of the emotion and to show the bonds.

Additionally, we would need long shots to show the walking to work in the narrative side of the music video.

I wanted to approach this music video with a narrative style, this is because the song is sung from an addressing approach, as well as that I think its really the only style of which I could use my inspiration of the live series into play! Though you could argue that it would be impressionistic in some ways as it will be 50's/60's themed to give some depth into the characters.

Editing would be one of the essential sides of this project, as it would be up to the editor to help encourage to the audience that it is back in the past and would be compiling the footage we had filmed to portray the story.

In terms of techniques like cutting to the beat and fading in, I would let them have relatively free control with the editing as I myself am more of a creative practical in these sort of things and wouldn't be in the best place to edit myself. However, they would have to make sure that it flows perfectly.

For the help of varying shots, we would need multiple camera's to help cut down the recording times if one shot doesn't look right.

Though, we might need lighting for one scene of which the two characters are seen dancing along with each other.

(This hasn't been something I was able to discuss with Dave about unfortunately but I don't think it would need any serious specialist equipment.)

We would need a few overalls for the main mechanic and his work colleagues as they are in the work scene, as well as one suit/ formal mens wear for the dancing scene.

For the Lady character, she would just need a normal dress and then a formal dress for the dance scene.

I had mostly picked places of which were in my village of Ongar, Essex. This is due to its old retro style of which would be able to help the atmosphere of the story and the narrative develop and come to life. Another reason why I had chose these locations would be due to the fact the village is a very quiet place and so would mean minimal distractions and room for error.

As needed for the storyline between the characters, as for the story we would need an older car, a radio as well as other props to make the story immersive and real. Luckily, if I am able to get a family friend to allow to use his workshop, we will be able to use either an 80's or 70's ford escort. (The ford escort from the 70's is down below.)
