Main Music Video Treatment Summary

Group Members:

Nicola Grafton
Hannah Brown
Louise Bebb


Song:

Bastille - Flaws

Artist:

Bastille

Genre:

Indie

Target Audience:

The target audience for my Music Video will be people who enjoy music from the indie genre and bands, live music and less upbeat and happy music, more meaningful with a story behind it.

Style:

The two locations that I will be using for my Music Video is The Quarry in Shrewsbury and the Town Hall in Wem. In the town hall I will be filming all of my actors separately under the artificial light making it look more professional, then I will be using Shrewsbury Quarry to add the more mysterious feeling to the Music Video. ( I since decided to not use Shrewsbury Quarry although I did do some filming there, as my idea changed on what I wanted to do, which was something a bit different to a normal indie/pop music video)

Colour Palette:

The colour palette of my Music Video will be dull and darker which will add the mysterious feel to the music video. In a typical indie/pop music video the lighting is quite dull and the costumes used are also dark and nothing to bright, which is what I will be using in mine, aswell as the song being about 'Flaws' I am going to make sure the actors are wearing as minimum makeup as they can.

Digipak Research

Digipaks are a eco-friendly way to store your Disk because it is using less plastic than the normal Plastic CD case, as it can be made from recycled cardboard with just a small bit of plastic to store the Disk or none at all. It is also a modern and quite stylish way to advertise your Album. I am researching different templates and ideas for CD Digipak's so that I have a better idea when it comes to making my own and I have some inspiration. I first of all looked on the website ' duplication.ca ' which showed me a list of different standard templates that I could choose from, for my own Digipak. 



These are the simplest Digipaks, which include the must haves on a CD cover/case for example, a tray (or something that can hold the CD Disk) then a frount cover that includes a title and then on the back a barcode, track list and company logo's.
They then have more complicated Digipaksk, for example.



These are more detailed CD Digipaks so that you can add even more information on of your choice for example, more images that are related to the album on the inside of the cover and information on all the different tracks.  You can also include artist details and maybe even a few pages which includes lyrics. If the artist has a more than one CD you can also add another plastic CD case onto the Digipak if it has 6 panels or more.

Moodboards


I made this mood board from a variety of different Bastille Music Videos, so that it would give me some inspiration on what I can do for my own Music Video on Bastille - Flaws. Most of Bastilles songs are quite sad and meaningful and not very happy and cheerful so for my Music Video I am going to try and set the same type of mood that Bastille do. Their videos are a lot different to other music videos of the Indie Pop genre for example in most other Music Videos they mainly have performance for example the 1975's Music Videos.


I am going to also research into other Artists of the Indie Pop genre and watch their Music Videos mainly looking at performance so that I can get some inspiration on how they set it out and make it suit the Track of Bastille - Flaws.
This is my mood board for different Indie Pop artists performances:
