What’s he come as

[verse 1]

(What’s he come as)

Knights of a waist coat

(What’s he come as)

Chain strangle his throat

 

(What’s he come as)

A trend of socks and crocks and

(What’s he come as)

Now he’s got it all on locks and

I don’t wanna know you

Don’t wanna know me

Don’t wanna know us

 

I don’t care about you

Don’t care about me

Don’t care about us

 

[verse 2]

(What’s he come as)

90s pop sensation

(What’s he come as)

Death to a generation

 

But he’ll never listen

He’ll never learn

You take the bullet

You take the burn

I don’t wanna know you

Don’t wanna know me

Don’t wanna know us

 

I don’t care about you

Don’t care about me

LO2 - Media pitch

What are you making?

• We are creating a music video for the Mayfairs song What's He Come As?
• This will be part of the indie music genre and our video will try to match the conventions of the genre.

What is your product about?

• The music video will denote a guy who gets ridiculed for his dress sense. 
• He walks around streets and pubs trying to fit in but everyone stares and makes comments.
• Eventually, he finds the Mayfairs and their fans, and is welcomed and ends up at the performance of the gig.

Which music videos do you want to pastiche?

• We would like to pastiche videos such as Teddy Picker and Gunga din for the walking along street shots. This is as it is stereotypical to the genre. 
• We would like to replicate the ghost/anaglyph effect seen in the performance video of Kathleen.

MES (Locations/props/costume/actors) editing considerations?

• Pubs - The Rocking Chair, The Greystones, The Hammer and Pincers, The Washington, Banner Cross
• Performance spaces (Gigs) - The Backroom, The Rocking Chair
• Instruments - Guitars & Drums
• Lighting & Speakers - Stage lighting's 
• Costume - Navy shirt, black jeans (90's indie artist)
• Actors - Main actor being sourced, background actors mainly friends.
• Editing will use a ghost/anaglyph effect

Who is the target audience based on themes in the video

• Target audience is would be fans of the indie genre]
• Niche audience
• Aged 16-24
• 70% male

What permissions do you need? Saught?

• Gain copyright permission to use bands music. 
• Permission to use locations with appropriate times
• Permission to film band members

Actors in the production? 


Questionnaire:
This is the link to our questionnaire - https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BQL7R75

Response of ideas:

Strengths and Improvements

Our pitch had some strong points and also some improvements to be made, our reviewers gave us this feedback.

The narrative has a strong link with the lyrics and the music genre. They all link in together with the Indie genre.

The story line of going round pubs in a town centre works well with all the locations we have chosen.

We have been given a series of different improvements to make that people think may improve the overall product.

Try adding more effects to the video to make it look like other Indie music videos.

Make the start of the video less linear, don't follow a set time, spread it out.

LO2 - Treatment

This document shows the client that we have an understanding of the brief and we understand what we need to do. Additionally we can use a treatment to gain funding as they can see we are organised and know what we are doing.

Treatment

'What's he come as?' - The Mayfairs

The Brief:

We have to produce a new music video that promotes The Mayfairs. The video and the footage that we produce must be original. Additionally, the use of music must be original and with the correct permissions given by the copyright holder.

Target Audience:

Fans of the Indie Genre and enjoy local music. It is a very Niche target audience of ages ranging from 16-24. 60% male audience

Segment Synopsis and how it Relates to the Brief:

It will include clips from a live performance at a gig, as well as clips from the band recording their song in a studio. Band practice shots as well. Jump shots between these three scenes and a separate narrative. The narrative will be based around a man, who is clearly quite a social out cast as he his often mocked for what he wears, hence the title. A man is being mocked for his anachronistic fashion and he is telling the people, he doesn't wanna know them and he doesn't want them to know him, he doesn't care about them and doesn't want them to care about him. He is happy with his style

and he won't listen to anyone, however he seems to always end up on the wrong end of people. However, the Mayfairs take him in and accept him for who he wants to be, as he ends up at the gig and really enjoys their music. Because he is a social outcast, we will show his social struggles by presenting his hardships throughout the day, for example: When he goes to pubs people are clearly staring and mocking him behind his back, kids on the street make fun of him to his face as they don't respect his authority, cars stopping as the drivers are clearly shocked by his style, he has a flip phone from ages ago but people around him have very modern phones,

Contingencies: When we are filming outside, it could start raining quite heavily. However, as long as we protect the cameras, we can still film with the intention of using pathetic fallacy to further support our narrative. We will protect our cameras by covering them with plastic bags.

Something could happen which means one of the members of the crew suddenly can't make it, I can find someone who can be a reserve member of the filming crew who would also appreciate the experience should it be needed

Health And Safety Considerations

- Wires - Trip hazard; make sure we are vigilant in our location

- Theft of equipment; give up possetion of equipment. Make sure equipment is not unattended.

- Weather conditions:

Camera damages

Ice, slip hazard; correct footware and surveying of immediate area

- Cars when filming on street - Be aware of traffic and members of public

- In urban areas needles can be hazardous

- Having emergancy contacts who know where you are and what you're doing

For every location we must complete:

- Location recce form. This is a form that will analyse the location and whether it is suitable to film in.

- Take photographic evidence that we have been to the location

- Risk assessment

Legal, ethical, scheduling and certification:

6. We must seek permission from the band in order to gain copyright permission to use their music. If we don't then we are breaking the law and could essentially get sued.



Distribution: We will be releasing our video on YouTube because it is a very well known, free and accessible too all users. It is also very popular with our target audience ensuring distribution is as successful as possible. Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can provide free promotion and advertisement that is very accessible to the younger generation, which is our target audience. It also allows fans to get more included with the band member's lives which they will enjoy having and thus lead them to view the music more. Soundcloud is also an online, free service which allows us to upload the audio, and if people hear the audio, they may want to check out the video on YouTube. Spotify may not be a free service, but it is immensely popular so getting even a low level of publicity on Spotify could lead to a lot more people at least hearing the song, which due to the comedic name, will incline more people to check out our video. Audiences seeing the band at live performances at gigs around Sheffield could lead to the band getting more publicity, so for example, The Mayfairs could support one of the many constant supply of artists performing at The Plug near the City Centre which would get them a lot more attention so it will be promoting the song and therefore the video. Getting the right attention on popular magazines such as 'NME' and 'Kerrang!' have all the weekly buyers seeing The Mayfairs stuff getting them more well known to a similar rock band culture. TV channels such as 4Music will also help if they end up playing the song, many other people will see the song and the video from a whole other culture.
