Music Video Organisation

Story Outline

We have chosen to make our music video to Joy Division's song, 'No Love Lost'

Due to the research we have done, we have concluded that our music video will be about portraying the life’s of youth today in the form of 3 young girls, using the punk rock conventions and still trying to resemble Joy Divison as a band. This will involve going through the day in the life of these girls, causing havoc, drinking, smoking and enjoying themselves the way youth are stereotypically made to do.

Actors
The people that will play the 3 girls will be the following:

Amy


Me (Nuchi)

Marwo

Choosing members of the group to do the acting, instead of others, was our choice so that time management and getting hold of each other for filming would be a more manageable task.


Possible Locations
We wanted to use places that looked urban, youthful and that fitted in to the punk rock theme. Here are some of the possible locations:

Camden Town

Camden Town would be a great location because a lot of young people who are typical members of the punk sub-culture are present here. It is also well known for a place that more eccentric people like to visit and so will fit in with our video.







Alleyway
This alleyway has graffiti and wired fences which resembles something of troublesome teenagers and prison, which is typical of the punk rock genre.




Wembley Park

As we are however still trying to resemble ourselves to the sophisticated side that joy division have, we wanted to take similar poses to the Anton Corborjin photos of the band. And with the buildings and tourists attractions, Wembley is a good place for it.






Playground

Playgrounds are usually associated with young innocence that children have, therefore us shooting here will be juxtaposing this idea and connote how the innocence of childhood is lost these days.
















Costumes
Joy Division wears smart/casual clothes. Therefore in order to represent this we also want to have a similar look.

We have decided on wearing Blazers, with worker boots in order to give us a more masculine look, similar to the band.

We have also decided that we are going to paint the words of the song on to our backs for intertextuality, and to remind the viewers about the song their listening to.

Props
We want to make use of props that will let viewers know they are watching a punk-rock music video.
This is going to include:
• Cigarettes
• Alcohol
• Instruments (guitar and microphone)
As these are conventional props of this genre
