The document outlines plans for a music video for artist Corey Bowen. It will showcase Bowen performing live and incorporate footage of him writing and making music with friends in and around Middlesbrough. The video will have a vintage, psychedelic style influenced by artists like Christopher Owens and T-Rex. It will be shared on social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to help raise awareness of Bowen's music and growing fanbase. The overall goal is to benefit both the student's coursework and Corey Bowen's career.

5. Generic conventions Film and shots of the band playing live shows, crowd shots etc The band and the artist, working, writing music, practices etc Their daily lives, out and about, having fun etc Or taking a different style, more of a story to match the lyrics and theme These will used in conjuncture with the Corey to create something great
6. setting and locations The location will largely be within the Middlesbrough area Settings will include places such as the streets, pubs and bars, home etc Some of the shots however will likely be set in venues all over the UK
7. Characters The video will likely feature just the artist and his friends i.e. me :) However, the video may also include shots of the public and audiences
8. Props/Costumes/mise-en-scene The video will actually feature very little in the way of this The artist and friends will likely be seen in their regular clothes The props to be used will simply be just the instruments etc
9. image/lighting and sound The image will hopefully match the genre of music A sort of vintage, warm, happy vibe, using greyscales and old cameras The video will mostly be moving image with very little still frames
