OVERVIEW OF MY PLAN

As my idea is very complicated I have had to plan the changing narratives and scenes.

I have storyboarded all of my planning in my notebook and taken the images to illustrate what i have done.
I have split the whole video into 5 parts-each part represents a different character, type of music or emotion.

PART 1: 0-13 seconds
PART 2: 13-39 seconds
PART 3: 39-42 seconds
PART 4: 54-2:25 seconds
PART 5: 2:25-4:12 seconds

Furthermore each part is further divided into sub-sections, mainly in part 4. Part 4 is split into 4 sub sections. Each section is divided as by seconds. By doing this, I am able to divine and construe certain beats from another, and illustrate what image/character is gong to match that beat.

The first part of the video is going to be an introduction to 'THE CHARACTER', the shots will vary-will consist off master shots, over the shoulder shots, long/mid shots and close up shots.

The second part of the video consists of two coinciding narratives. The first narrative is the continuation of 'THE CHARACTER' where the character is simply walking down streets, the second narrative will be static shots of the different locations in which the other characters will be situated..such as the blackout and the spotlight and the top of the arndale car park.

The third part of the video is the introduction of the ballet dancer who represents the changing of personality within 'THE CHARACTER'. This section will consist of various shots, such as panning shot, close ups, mid shots and long shots...furthermore there will be a second narrative within this where we are briefly introduced to 'THE CREATURE' through close-up, quick-cut shots.

The fourth part is split into 4 sections:
Section 1 consists of the characters realisation of the monster and focuses on 'the chase'. Furthermore in this section the lyrics of the song "call 911 now" occur. I will use a selection of shots and angles, moreover I have created a name for an effect, the best way to descirbe this effect/style would be to imagine a scartched disk and the sounds it makes, then convert this to an image...I call it the buffered effect. From this section onwards I will use this often to coincide different narratives and characters..for example, because the ballet dance represent the personality of 'THE CHARACTER', I will use this effect to help illustrate how the two characters are the same.
Section 2 introduces more characters such as the street dancer and the three masked figures. I want to have 3 seperate shots of the ballet dancer-1 where she is innocent, 2 where she is evil/possesed and 3 of the character crying and screaming. Also I want to focus on the insanity of 'THE FIGURE'. I want to insert static images of objects such as china dolls, eyes opening and closing, red lipstick, fingernails and lipstick on cups. All to emphasise inbalance, mental state and disoriantation.

Section 3 focuses on the ballet dancer. I will use the buffer effect to combine the possesed and the innocent character into one..I want to have the dancer doing pirouettes, so in the editing you will clearly see the conversion of the ballet dancer to the possesed character.

Section 4 focuses more on the chase and uses the buffered effect to coincide the ballet dancer once again to 'THE CHARACTER'...further more I want to ballet dancer to be crying and screaming in attempt to escape her evil side and at the end of this section there are the "call 911 now" lyrics again, so this time it is the ballet dancer which says this...the significance of this is that it illustates how the innocent side is trying to protect 'THE CHARACTER.'

The fifth and final part of the music video is the conclusion of the riot, moreover the development of characters. This part is also split into sections:
Section 1 consists of a focus on 'THE CREATURE', the creature manically runs about and smiles, to illustate insanity. I will use a variety of shots and angles.

Section 2 contains two narratives. The first part of the narrative focuses on the strret dancer who represent a  more abrupt and aggressive form of dancing in contrast with the ballet dancer. I will use various panning shots at a range of angles and shot types on the top of the arndale car park...I would rather the weather consist of rain, there for her hair whips more dramatically, and the raindrops on her face will look good in the light. Furthermore I will make use of the slow motion effect here. The second narrative focuses on the masked figures placed before various graffiti walls, they will be shot in stop-motion animation style.

Section 3 combines all characters in the buffered effect. Here I am going to mainly use mid shot and close ups, furthermore I will exaggerate the use of slow motion.

Section 4 also continues the combination of the buffered fact to coincide all characters. However I will also include 'THE CREATURE' in the theatre location under multi coloured lights doing a form of lyrical movements. The chase is the focus point of this time sequence, in fact, the chase ends here in a slow motion buffered effect.

Section 5 will consist of static images of each of the characters to emphasise the personality of 'THE CHARACTER.' Before this however the character will realise it was all in her head...(or is it?)...and simply walks away...The last shot of this sequence and the whole music video will be 'THE CHARACTER' turning a corner to reveal that 'THE CREATURE' is still there in her head.
