Video Pitch Script

Hello, we have decided to create a music video using the song 'Carry on' which was produced by Bisola. 

The idea of the video is to show a woman going through an emotional struggle and then is able to overcome her insecurities. She is in her bedroom where she is looking depressed and is isolated. We got inspiration from the movie Twilight because it shows Bella going through a similar depression to our character. 

The main theme throughout our music video is body image. Our video shows the theme of body image because our character is insecure and emotionally distressed due to her own view of her body. We chose this theme because this is a world wide issue in society and will show how people can over come this problem, inspiring others. 

Here are some facts about body image we have found, this shows how problematic this is in todays society. 

Throughout the video we will show her struggling through her trying to be something which she is not. For example, her changing the way she looks using things such as make-up and Photoshop on the computer. This will show how the media and celebrities produce this "perfect" image which many people aspire to be like. 

We will show her fighting through the struggle and overcoming her insecurities. We will show an imaginary angel and devil on each shoulder giving her advice and telling her the right and wrong thing to do. 

Throughout our video we will include close ups of her face where she is wearing no make-up and looking depressed. We will also include medium/long shots where you can see her body and also her surroundings, setting the scene and atmosphere. 

We will use a high angle over a bed to show her anxiety and stress also we will be using a close up of her eye to show her inner thoughts.

We will use wide shots to show her location and use shallow focus to show her looking at her phone in the street. This will create hyper reality as her social networking look is different to what she's like in real life. 

Throughout the video will show her struggle, towards the middle and the end she realises that other people are in the same position and she's not alone through this situation. We will show this through the other people experiencing what she is.

In our music video we also hope to create a cloning effect of her seeing "perfect" self she has created and visualises. This creates hyperreality, we also hope to use shallow focus throughout to show hyperreality. Our video will also scroll through a selection of natural faced girls and women smiling to show natural beauty.

The ending will not only show her overcoming this but a variety of other people too. We hope our video will motivate people and help put out the message of overcoming body image.
