Song has comedic relief
Celebrity endorsement throughout
Showing off/flexing
Set in Miami,Amsterdam, London
This music video will help me towards my own music video. As i am playing with the idea of having a comedic relief for my own music video. I would also like to take the overall vibe from this music video, which is a feel good, energetic vibe throughout which is promoted through the high saturation and the vast amount of vibrant colours used throughout.

Camera techniques and operations
- Wide-shot
- Midshot
- Closeup
Wide-shot can be used for action, to get the whole scene
Midshot is shot from the waist up
Closeup are used for more emotional shots.
Storyboards are rough illustrations used to give a correct order of thought as the creator storyboards allows them to see a rough copy of their original idea. It also will help people you are working with to understand your vision. For storyboards you can either make this through drawings or still shots.
Rule of thirds is used to divide the shot and therefore it makes it easier to position your subject.
High angle shots make the subject seam weak whereas low angle shots make the subject look dominant.
Continuity is ensuring the shots make sense when put together
180 degree rule is when the two subjects in separate shots are looking at each other.
Shot reverse shot is going back and forth between two subjects can be used in conversations.
Steadicam is keeping the camera steady with a dolly or a tripod

Synopsis of the main idea
"Memory Lane"
(feat. Tom Grennan)
(feat. Tom Grennan)
[Bugzy Malone:]
Yeah
Today is gonna be the day
That they throw it all back to you
And by now you should have somehow
Realised what you have to do
The world keeps on turning round
Bridges keep burning down
Nobody can hear you now
No matter how loud you shout
Sitting in total silence
Totally lost, no guidance
You don't call no more
Nobody can find ya
Nobody can find the time like they lost their watch
They find it hard to think you went soft
They find an architect that I've promised that I make sure
He puts the building blocks in place
Start rebuilding, we've been broken since children
They keep telling me that we're only human
I don't do no silly excuses
Nobody wins we're losing
So violent and abusive
It's all battle, scars and bruises
Cuz we're in this
[Tom Grennan:]
The sun shines down on me, on me, on me
And breaks my ties you'll see, you'll see, you'll see
That angel dies, they bleed, this life, I chose
My open wounds they show
That memory lane is like a winding road
[Bugzy Malone:]
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I feel about you now
I just want you to know that I love you
It's a cruel world outside but I need you to know that I got you
Such a forgetful place and I don't want them to forget you
Hard times have arrived and I wanna make sure that we get through
I look into your eyes sometimes
All I can see is emptiness, no resemblance, no more fire
Or anything similar
When did the winter get to us, I go blind
Looking at a light so bright
But if I can find my way then I'll come back for you and I'll make it right
I wanna say something but I don't know how
I gotta keep it moving, I can't turn 'round
How did David make Goliath fall down?
What's the king if the king has lost its crown
[Tom Grennan:]
The days are there
We're running away
But the night was so long
But today is the day that will break of our change
The sun shines down on me, on me, on me
And breaks my ties you'll see, you'll see, you'll see
That angel dies, they bleed, this life, I chose
My open wounds they show
That memory lane is like a winding road
Like a winding road
Memory lane is like a winding road
Like a winding road
Memory lane is like a winding road
Yeah

My music video synopsis:
The music video is about a love triangle in a rags to riches format. In the music video there will be two male best friends, who are very close and are almost brotherly but had a falling out when a female comes into their small group and both of the friends are falling for her. This causes the two best friends to fall out. This will be shown through a series of flashbacks.
The music video begins with showing one of the friends in a suit walking down the road looking at his watch. It then cuts to the other friend rushing down the road with a load of paperwork. This shows that both friends are successful in life. Whilst both are moving down the street, they inevitably bump into each other. Only realising who they bumped into when they both look up to each other. Both their faces are in shock and anger. This triggers the flashbacks.
Within the flashbacks it will show the two friends when they were younger, they will be wearing jeans, bomber jackets and t shirts to represent the youthfulness. In the flashbacks it will show the two friends laughing and smiling enjoying their company. It will show them driving around and playing video games with each other, it will show all the moments leading up to meeting the girl who split them up.
The two friends meet the girl at a park and the three of them become best friends and it will show them spending time with each other. Which all changes when both of the friends develop feelings for her and an argument occurs when one of the friends finds the girl with the other friend just them two. This causes an argument and splits the friendship.
It then goes back to the present and the friends in the suits faces turn from anger to laughter as they forget the past and forgive each other.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Feels the way I feel about you now'- in this line it will show one of the actors with the flower to go to the female.
