1. MUSIC VIDEO PITCH
Task 16

2. MY PROPOSAL
I have chosen to do my music video on a song by the US Massachusetts band
Defeater. The song I have chosen to do is called ‘I Don’t Mind’ which is an acoustic
based song which is a different side to the melodic hardcore sound they normally
have. The song has a personal meaning to the lead singer of the band as it’s about
his break up with his fiancée and him and he sunk to an all time low. The song has
also happy feelings for the lead singer as he wrote the song when remembering all
the good times he shared with his ex fiancée and how he felt then. The song is from
the 2011 album ‘Empty Days & Sleepless Nights’ and doesn’t not currently have a
music video for it.

3. MOOD BOARD
Here are some music videos already out there which I have got
inspiration for my own music video.

4. LYRICS
In my music video I am planning to
make my music video match the
lyrics. The bits I have highlighted are
bits in the music video I think I will
be able to illustrate. I would also like
my music video to have a sort of
narrative to it as the song has a
narrative feel to it.

5. PEOPLE WHO I’M GOING TO
HAVE IN MY MUSIC VIDEO

to make Tamara Reed as my song. I have chosen to use Troy as the actor who is in
actress. In my music video Tamara love with Tamara but also the singer and guitarist
will play the girl who the song is because in the original version of the song the lead
singer is the guitarist too so I didn’t want to have three

will have to act like she is deeply lead singer in real life. In my music video Troy will
love with Troy. have to act in love with Tamara but also he will also
have to mime the song so he will have to learn the
song.

6. LOCATION
For my music video I thought about places which were quite cliché for
couples to be at and activities they would do. The place which I chose in
the end was the river. I have chosen to do the river because the river has
activities which you’d expect couples to do such as walks along the river,
feeding the ducks, hiring a boat, going to the park, grabbing an ice cream
but also there were places surrounding such as the café near the river
which is somewhere I am thinking about filming at.
