Pre-Group Meeting Notes and Ideas to think about
In order to further clarify the task at hand and organize ideas, I have created a list of topics that we may need to go over before progressing in terms of where we are going to film; in Windsor or London and how we want to go about it (shots and where it links to the track).
- How easy is it for the band to get in and out of London?
- Would it be easier for us to travel out to Windsor?
- We need to think about organizing a field trip to Windsor to get a feel for the location and see where we could film if we use this location instead or London.
- Would it be a good Idea to use the best of both locations for different layers?
- How and when should we contact the band about What is viable for them as well as us and what they are willing to commit to?
It would also be a good Idea if everyone brainstormed their own Ideas about what should be included into the filming and locations. Most importantly how it relates to our target audience.

Film Layer Idea
Having met up as a group and agreeing on the different layers we wanted to have within our music video, one of these was riots.
For this one idea we had was to organize a group of approximately 40 people that would be filmed walking/striding down the street with posters and banners that would be produced by us beforehand.
In the final piece our target audience would see a group of people in a medium shot with the first 5-10 people in the fore of the shot clear and the people to the back slightly blurred out. This would help us to create a sense of a lot of people protesting with a small group and still keep it realistic.
In order to inform our actors/participants of the event and when and where they need to be, we thought it would be a good idea to do this through facebook as social networking is a great way to get the message out there quickly. This idea has not been finalized and is still being discussed.

Treatment 2
Our video is going to be performance and concept.
Throughout the video we’re going to have footage of the band-playing cut with several other images of a variety of things. We want one of our layers to be old images/footage from world war one, as that is what the song is primarily about. However we want the rest of the layers to link to the idea of ‘postcode wars’. The song talks about defending your country/land and being proud of where you come from. We thought we could link this to postcode wars as its modern and would be far easier for our target audience to relate to.
As the front man sings about ‘my friends and I wave goodbye as our ship leaves England home’ we want to have black and white footage of a ship leaving harbour in WW1, however when he sings ‘i see my friends along the line, many fine young men’ we want to have a crabbing shot of two ‘gangs’ standing either side of a road/estate/park completely still, ready to fight.
We’re going to have the band in a empty room or field to reflect the sad tone of the song, we’re going to have a variety of camera shots, from medium long shots to extreme close ups, as is common in folk videos. The close ups will emphasize the lack of expression on the band members faces, reinforcing the sad tone of the video.
Towards the end as the song gets more dramatic we want the cutting pace to increase to keep up with the music and reinforce the increased intensity of the song. We’ll have images quickly flashing up, for example a picture of a road sing with the postcode on, or newspaper headlines about postcode wars, as well as old images from WW1/soldiers.
