I'm going to begin storyboarding for my music video. At the moment, I know that I wish for the video to have a storyline of some sort and for there to be three main characters; with the story revolving around one of those central characters.
I've secured two necessary characters needed and I will be playing the third character. I will also be the director and camera man - I will be filming the scenes with myself in the frame by using a tripod as they will be static scenes.
The story will be about a man in his early twenties who is apartment sharing with his good friend. This relationship becomes disturbed when the latter gets a girlfriend and begins dedicating far too much time to her; leaving the aforementioned apartment in disarray and also the central character feeling rather pushed aside. There will be several other scenes whereby this loneliness and rejection will be portrayed through various other practices.
I will post my storyboard on this blog in the near future!

"See Ya" lyrics
Isn't it nice to be appreciated?
I know it's nice to know you're there.
If only you would do the same as me.
But it's a shame that you don't care.
I feel like a stone inside a shoe.
I'm just an irritation you're gonna lose.
And when I'm gone you'll blame it all on me
Say I've changed but you're oblivious to see.
Who's to say I like it this way?
But it seems wrong all work no play
I don't wanna do this anymore
Pack my bags get on the next train
Find some place to start my own game.
It's your fault that I'm gone out the door.
Say goodbye to those older days,
The incompletion has even left my gaze.
There's no reason to watch on after you,
Even after all that we've been through.
Who's to say I like it this way,
But it seems wrong all work no play
I don't wanna do this anymore
Maybe someday you will find me
Then you'll sing and get behind me
On this day I'll open up the door.
I want to put these lyrics across in the music video and represent the characters using these lyrics. A story behind the lyrics is already in motion and I will begin storyboarding my ideas in the near future.
The lyrics tell the story of two good friends drifting apart and the one whose thoughts are being told in the form of a song is beginning to get fed up with being treated in a way that makes them feel insignificant. I
In the last chorus, there is a more optimistic view to how the friendship can be put right in the future.
These are all things that will make this music video worth watching as the lyrics themself tell a story.

Joe McCorriston - See Ya
The song I have chosen to base my music video around is "See Ya" by English singer-songwriter Joe McCorriston. Joe is based in the north of England in Morecambe, Lancashire. I'm in regular contact with him about the music video and he provides me with his own insight on the lyrics and also the songwriting process.
Joe is not a local artist so it might be difficult for me to get performance shots of him. However, when he goes on tour I will hopefully get some footage of him performing in a local venue.
A2 Coursework Brief
A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together
with two of the following three options:
- a website homepage for the band;
- a digipak for the album’s release;
- a magazine advertisement for the digipak.
I've chosen to produce a music video for my A2 coursework. The song I'll be using is "See Ya" by Joe Mccorriston (See above). My main source of inspiration is the lyrics in the song and everyday occurrences that will relate to those lyrics. I aim to have the music video done by September.
