Narrative
- I'm going to be using a number of actors in video, each with a different problem or secret. Such problems could be self harm, bullying, prostitution, drugs or alcohol problems. Each person struggles control/cope with their problem which involves the theme of identity.
Actors
- Actors for my video were subject to availablity. I have chosen my closest friends and they were happy to be in the video and are easy to work with. Becuase the actors are all 17-18 they fit in with the prime audience so can relate to the charactors feelings.
Props and clothing
- Diarys, Alcohol bottles, items used to simulate taking drugs, money. Clothing will be subject to each charactor, most will be normal clothing

Analysing
- The most popular music genres were pop and pop rock/alternative rock. Pink's music genre in Pop rock/Alternative rock. This shows the music video is going to be popular.
- Although most people prefer music video's to have the the artist singing and acting, i have chosen not to have the actors singing in my music video, i feel it does not fit in with the genre and narrative i have chosen. Instead of miming the words i have decided that the actors can write the lyrics of the song into a diary to symbolise how their feeling as i big them of my video is identity and it also links charactos together and would give me the chance to use interesting camera shots and transitions to link the charactors together, using the diary.
- Most people said they prefered a story with a music video whihc was very expected at most music video's do this. Having a story with the music video means i can experiment with mise en scene, shots and angles to create a powerful video.
- My music video is going to be quite sad, this genre was voted 2nd as their favourite genre. this also shows the video would be popular with the prime audience of teenagers.
- As expected Youtube was the most popular media to watch music video's, i think this was because of its accesablity as not everyone has Sky TV to be able watch video's. Youtube is watched worldwide with over 2million video's being uploaded everyday.
- The Kings of Leon album cover (the first one) was the most popular. I am going to base my album cover on this. I am going to use a collection of differnent peoples faces to create a collage, creating 1 face. It's abstarct whihc is shown to be very popular and fits in with the theme of identity and that different people create your identity.
