Development

 We developed our campaign idea as a group to create this pop rock music video, we have created a stable plan by making storyboards, costume ideas, props list, set designs and casting videos in order to create a more in depth idea as to what the band will be doing in our music video. We had two specific targets to work on and develop. 

Targets: 

- Be sure to create and pay attention  to the destruction, avoid smashing things 

- Make sure you have enough set ups and shot configuration in both performance elements. 

Tegan and Adrianna worked on coming up with a list of 20 non sync shot ideas for the band to do: 

20 things they’re doing non-sync

  1. Cutting up pillows and throwing the feathers

  2. Spilling/Pouring/Breaking make-up on vanity

  3. Jumping on the bed- (with feathers from pillows?)

  4. Ripping up teddy-bears

  5. Opening up and tossing the clothes in the wardrobe 

  6. Standing on bed, graffiti band logo into the wall above, (over framed posters)

  7. Vandalizing sidewalls

  8. Drawing over reflection in the vanity mirror

  9. The drummer could be “playing” on inanimate objects, (ottoman, bedside table, etc)

  10. pouring /scattering/picking petals off the plastic flowers in the vase

  11. Ripping pillows apart 

  12. Cutting teddy bear head off

  13. Pulling chandelier from ceiling

  14. Spray painting wall

  15. Red lipstick on the vanity

  16. Throwing makeup on the floor

  17. Pulling clothes out of the wardrobe

  18. Taking frames off of the wall and throwing them

  19. Over turning ottoman

  20. Throwing duvet and broken pillows on the floor.

  21. ripping them/ spray painting them


Bashy looked at configurations regarding the bands performance after the set was destroyed:

10 band configurations (Performance) after destruction/ during the bridge


  1. All band members with instruments. Drummer on bed, guitarists either side of the bed, and the singer moving about in front of the camera, possibly kneeling. 

  2. Just the bassist and guitarist jumping on the bed with and without instruments

  3. Singer jumping on bed

  4. Full band jumping on the bed with instruments and without instruments

  5. Singer sitting on the upturned ottoman singing into the camera seriously, with the rest of the band jumping around on the bed behind them

  6. Singer throwing clothes out of the wardrobe from the perspective of the wardrobe with band mates messing around in the background. 

  7. Drummer being filmed from the front or from behind (depending on whether they are in the room (front or back)), and the other band members messing around and destroying parts of the room whilst the drummer watches - could do the same with any other band member

  8. All 4 band members sitting on the ottoman

  9. Singer to the very right of the frame, still closest to the camera, bassist to her left but behind her, drummer to her left but in front of her, guitarist in front of drummer and to the right of the drummer, but not blocking the bassist. All playing instruments, and then could all change positions. 

  10. Singer lying on the floor, lip syncing, and all other band members in a triangular position around her playing their instruments. 


Finally I looked into configurations for the band to perform before the destruction of the set, this I found difficult to come up with as I struggled avoiding the ideas from being repetitive or edging onto being destructive in anyway. However I think the list of band configurations I came up with are easy to follow and will help us on set if we run out of any other positioning and ideas, here is the list I came up with.

10 band configurations before destruction

  1. Lead singer lying on bed, guitar, and bass either side of the bed facing camera

  2. Jumping on the bed, and band spaced around the room 

  3. Band members dancing in the room altogether 

  4. All jumping on the bed

  5. Triangle formation of the band members 

  6. One standing on the bed, one on a chair, one on a table, and drummer in the back

  7. Singer and guitarist together while other members are in the background

  8. All sitting/lying on the bed with the prop teddy bears

  9. One member looking in the mirror and starts to ruin her makeup 

  10. Another member looking through the wardrobe and starts to pull out clothes and throw them on the floor
