1. Chris Brown Ft. Nicki Minaj –
Love More
• This song is an American hip hop song
Presentation – Pitching My Idea
• The reason I chose this song is because it can be portrayed in
many different ways.
• compared to the actual music video, there are many paths
that you can take when recreating a music video for this song.
• For example: at the start Chris Brown talks about how his
relationship may not be what he wants
it to be because as hard as he tries its never enough.
•In my video we can have a boy and a girl arguing and
breaking up and as the song builds the boy leaves and goes out
and has a party or hangs out with friends which include a
numerous amount of other girls.
• I considered locations that provided similar iconography
to the hip hop videos that I have watched. The chosen
locations include places that will connote street life and party
and places where friends may just hang out to connote
friendship and happiness.
The aim of my video will be to show life is less about love and
more about living it to the fullest.

3. Locations
Part of the song will be shot in a house
o Reasons: First for the break up
oThen people rush in and it’s a house party – This will
imply that life is about living and all the character wants
to do is live life rather than be in a relationship.
oAlso this is part of narrative, where girlfriend watches
boyfriend partying and having fun
The singer will be singing or miming in front
of a dark wall.
oThis is purely for performance reasons.
oSinger will also have people dancing behind
him while he mimes the lyrics
oMostly use this location in the chorus

4. This location is on top of a hill where there
is a city view in the background.
o This is for performance purposes
o The main character will be dancing with
other friends while pointing to the city
oThis will denote that there is a whole
world out there to live for.
This location is in a ghetto area in front of
a wall in the night
oThis location denotes street life and hood
which the characters will be based around
oThis location will mostly be used for
when the rapper comes in.

5. Stars
• One male singer to do the
singing in the music video.
• One male actor to be in
the narrative of the music
video
•One female actor to
perform the acting for the
girlfriend that breaks up
with the boyfriend.
• A team of actors/dancers
to be in the background at
the house or in the city view
on the hill dancing behind
performers
•Performer to rap, a person
who can mime the rap in
the music video.

6. Costumes
•The costumes will be
casual
•Street clothing
•Something clean, not
scruffy and tidy
•Maybe chain necklace
to connote street and
symbolize gangster.
•This can help establish
the genre of music.

7. Shot Types
• Close Up: This will be used during the break up, to show the characters
emotion.
• This will also be used throughout the music video to show the girlfriends
reaction to what's going on and the house party the boyfriends having
•Gradually throughout the music video we will see the girl enjoying herself.
• Mid-Shot: The mid-shot will be used during the rap
•When the rapper comes in there will be mid-shots of him/her rapping and
we will be able to see her body language throughout the rap.
• Long-Shot: This will be used in the hill
•This will help establish all the actors that are dancing
•And your will be able to see the view of the city which gives the main
impression of the music video which is that there is an open world to live for.

8. Editing
• In the music video, we will do quick camera changes.
•These changes will be from each location
•Some of the camera changes will be looking at different
aspects of the performance in the same location.
•Example: We will be looking at it from the boyfriends
point of view were he is dancing and having fun, and
then switch to what the girlfriend is doing.
• There may be pans across the faces of some actors to
establish who they are in the video.

9. Matching Video To Lyrics
This is one of the main tasks in the music video:
The way I will do this is:
•At the start it will have a narrative of couple breaking up, as the song quotes
“When I die its never enough, I messed up.
Maybe this thing ain't meant for us.
baby you let go ill just pull you back, I let go you ain't having that.”
•Then after that the song will go onto partying and the boyfriend showing
his girlfriend how to live.
