MUSIC VIDEO PRE PRODUCTION

Music Video -
Narrative: This narrative of this video will be of two friends. When they were young they were best friends but slowly grew apart when society made them conform to different people. One was incredibly academic but very unsociable, whilst the other was very sporty but struggled in class. As this affected them throughout school they then became enemies. The academic friend made the other look stupid in class and the sporty friend made the sure nobody spoke the him inside or outside of school. Eventually, they both break down. Resulting in them having a fight, obviously the sporty one wins but the the other will put up a good fight! at the end of the fight they both realise how silly their feud has been and the friend standing over the other holds out a hand and helps his friend up.
Then both of them return to being friends even though society tells them not to. We'll see the academic friend tutoring the other and the sociable friend, in return, getting people to like him and be able to approach him.
Visually I don't want this music video to match any conventions to a normal rock video because of the meaning of the song. The song is about breaking out from society and so the video should do that too.
The Music video will be set in a college and will focus on different conflicts throughout the week that the two enemies have (we won't know that they were once friends yet!). I will close ups on each character as they are rejected or mad to look stupid and use a front facing tracking shot of them walking down corridor with OTS shots when they see each other. The fight scene will be filmed in slow-motion with close ups of the kicks, punches, tackles etc. I don't want the fight to take place in a playground or in an alley way as this would be a conventional place for a fight. Instead I would like to use perhaps a tire or scrap yard with dust on the floors that will be swept up in the fight. Also this will give the impression that our two enemies are there specifically to fight, not just a spur of the moment playground fight with a couple of head locks and some 'Mum' jokes.
Overall the video will have an essence of maturity to it, this isn't a normal broken friendship narrative. These friends have been made in to enemies by society telling what they should do and who they should be. This effects adults too and it's results can last a life time. I believe that the band '30 Seconds To Mars' picked their audience as young people for a reason and that this song was meant to help them when they need it the most. I want to keep that theme going with my video and not for it to loose any of it's meaning.
