Treatment
Our music video is going to have a variety of things that we are going to do as we are going to do performance,dance to make the use of the beat within the song and also narrative to tell a story from the lyrics.The overall look of the music video should convey effects that make the graphics excellent.The music video will consist of mixed emotions as the narrative will show some sadness scenes however the dance and performance will change the sadness to happiness as this will be entertaining therefore making a good mixture as audiences will enjoy the dance and performance however also notice the narrative as this mixture will make it stand out.
Location
We will have two locations within our music video one being the theatre and also the roof of Sidney Stringer academy building of which we have been given permission to use.We might also use green screen to add effects to our music video such as backgrounds if possible.All the locations we are going to use will have risks.The roof will carry the most risks and is the most dangerous as the worst case scenario will be someone falling off.The theater will have minor risks such as the lighting falling etc.

Equipment List
Video Camera
Lighting
Projector
Microphone (if required as part of the performance)
As all equipment is available in the school we do not need to set a budget for buying or renting any equipment.
Mise En Scene
Within our music video our aim will be to create a image that will go with the song and a modern look therefore we will use a mixture of dark and colourful colours to convey this.The characters within the song will therefore wear modern clothing however this won't apply to the narrative as we will need to convey a different message from this.Therefore as the narrative will have less modern clothing and cheap clothing to show that the characters are not fortunate as this is what we will be trying to convey in our narrative.
We will also use props in helping us to convey the message behind the song and to help us do certain things such as the performance and dance.Even though we will not apply any make-up this will be covered by the effects of the lighting that the video will consist therefore making the overall look of the video good and adding a good effect to the graphics of the video.

Last year's BTEC students
Last year's BTEC students did the song lose yourself by Eminem.They try to convey the message and image that was conveyed by eminem since they wear clothing that represents hip hop rappers fashion e.g jackets with hoods and hats.The location also represents hip hop culture by as they did a ghetto look so that the look goes on with the song.
They also used props for their advantage when they did their narrative by using the bench and wall.They don't use any lighting within the music video as this is covered by the sun which also adds an effects to the graphics.The characters use serious face expressions so that this goes with lyrics and the overall look of the music video.

Sometimes livin in a world like this
It's pretty hard not to go insane
Not pretty if you don't comply
Pretty easy if you don't complain
Stand there like you don't feel pain
No tears in the face of defeat
Pretend to the end that you don't fear change
Don't admit that your faith is weak
Don't say that you feel like dyin
Life's hard and it feels like diamonds
Goin home's just far too gone much too late to even feel like tryin
Can't understand what I'm sayin?
Can't figure out what I'm implying?
If you feel you don't wanna be alive,
You feel just how I am
I'm on the dark side and you can't come find him
Hell when it's light all around you yeah
When it's dark all inside him

I wanna stop these nightmares
I just wanna touch your face
All you see is all my feats
All I see is all my flaws
All I hear is all my demons,
Even through your applause
All you see is all my flights
All I see is all my falls
All you see is all my rights
All I see is all my wrongs
Door keep tellin me to fight
Gun on the table tellin me to come on,
Tellin me to put him inside my hand,
Then put him up right next to my dome
Door keep tellin me to find a reason,
Anything to keep me from squeezin,
Simplest things, yeah you really like summer,
You really like music, you really like readin
Love, I can't win if it's me against me

Today's group lesson
Today we have carried on working on the location and the risk assessment of our music video and as we decided our two main locations will be the theatre and the balcony of the school (Sidney stringer school).We have also discussed the certain risks that might occur within the locations that that we have chosen.The theatre has a few risks and the worst that can happen is that the lighting might fall on someone's head.However the balcony carries more risks as it is at the top floor of the building (4th floor) since the worst case might be someone falling off causing a bad injury and potentially a death.This risk assessment is vital due to the
We have also decided on changing the song to freeze by Chris Brown and T-pain as it is more suitable for dancing and doing the performance that we want.We are also planning a storyboard for our song that will cover the performance of our music video.
We also have to decide if we need to use other locations and what the settings of our location should be in order for it to look good behind the camera.
