The video features a girl who is thrown into a social party
full of mis-happenings and accidents surrounded by stereotypical people and Americanised
clichés.
The characters will be shown as being Americanised through their fashion sense but also as we have taken slight influences from different films such as 'the Breakfast Club' and 'Mean Girls'. Although these aren't direct references there are influences shown. But our characters aren't designed to be americanised instead the events that happen are again taken from films that as a group we have all seen.
Our Narrative doesn't explicitly link to the lyrics of the song but we have inferred meanings of items that relate to our song. Our song is about alcoholism and drug taking therefor we have tried to raise awareness through events that happen in our music video of the problems with taking these. Through the inferred meanings it allows for our narrative to link to the lyrics even if it is not directly.
We are going to include lip syncing in our music video although we had not originally planned to include as we felt performance did not fit with the music that we chose but we have eventually decided to include snippets of the actor playing the lead singer lip-syncing to the song. We realise that this will be one of the hardest parts of our editing as the lip sync has to be exactly to the words of the song and timing of the song. But we later added in the lip-syncing as it adds more depth to our music video and also allows for another character to be introduced.

Interesting ideas - how are you going to show that the characters are Americanised? How does your narrative relate to the lyrics of your music video? Are you going to include any lip syncing?
