Our music video will focus on performance and conceptual elements, including stop motion animation. It will feature close-ups of the female performer wearing an oversized mismatched suit to convey her awkwardness. Shots will experiment with composition, lighting, and camera movements. The video may initially conceal the performer's gender before revealing she is lip-syncing to a man's voice, highlighting the disconnection between her performance and the audience's perception. Conceptual elements will develop the performer's character and backstory through shots of objects representing her isolated childhood. Stop motion animation will further the conceptual side by depicting objects moving independently.

Smiths Presentation
- 2. Our music video will be Performance and Conceptual based, possibly with stop motion animation. Our video shall contain plenty of close shots of our performer. We will be experimenting with composition and light, to create engaging visuals. We will also be testing various tracking/ moving shots, handheld/still (photographic) shots. Our performer will be female. She will be wearing an over-sized mismatching suit. What we will be aiming to convey is the performers awkwardness and how they are ill-at-ease with themselves, and who they are, and hopefully the suit will emphasise this. We want the performer to move and act in a certain manner gawky, awkward (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =5nCJXow_H8Q)
- 3. PERFORMANCE We are discussing of having a structure to our video since we dont have a narrative there is a chance that everything will end up random and nonsensical, so we thought of perhaps being ambiguous with our performers gender at the beginning our the video concealing her face, so the audience would think it is a guy singing (or at least make them question whether the performer is male or female). Two possible ways in which can reveal the gender of the singer: - The mask could get damaged during the song, little by little - Or she could simply take it off during the last instrumental section Her taking off the mask and revealing that she is a girl will break the illusion of the live performance and will make the audience realise that the performance isnt authentic the singer lip-synching to a mans voice. As she continues to lip-synch, to the viewers it will be as if she is singing and not singing at the same time.
- 4. CONCEPTUAL For the conceptual side of the video, we are thinking of creating a character around the performer our theme being isolation, we were inspired by the title sequence of the film Le Fabuleux Destin d Amelie Poulain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATJtD54Ko10 There will be shots (mostly close-ups) of objects such as Russian dolls, dice, puppets etc and shots of the performer playing with these objects, or painting faces on her fingers etc These various shots will tell the audience of the performers childhood how as a child she didnt socialise with other children and instead created a world of her own in which to pass her time. Jan von Holleben is a photographer who did this project called She Dreams.. which involved photographing a woman acting out her dreams. We really like his work and may recreate some of his photographs, but as videos.
- 5. Stop Motion The stop motion animation will be part of the conceptual side and will depict the objects moving by themselves. http://youtu.be/eJlqQSMifqk - wooden figure
- 6. Target Audience This is Laura. She is 18, and a vegetarian. she enjoys a variety of things such as reading books by authors like Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf. She is in her first year of University studying English literature and enjoys her own company. Studying so far away from home, she relates to the band as the lyrics deal with isolation and loneliness. She spends her free time using blogging platforms such as Livejournal and Tumblr in which she expresses her thoughts and feelings to readers who she feels can relate to her. She enjoys going to charity shops and places with free Wi-Fi. She rarely watches television but when she does she uses BBCiplayer to watch television shows such as The Thick Of It, and other satirical programs. Laura is a Misanthrope.
