Music Video Narrative and Performance Pitch

The video starts with a girl working at a table in her college, in the background you can see a boy on the sofa reading, she then looks round and this frame is held for a few seconds. This then cuts to mid shot of her in a studio beginning to sing the song. There are several cuts back and fourth to close ups and mid shots in different outfits. We then re-visit the school scene however this time the camera is coming from the direction from the boy and we see him look at her to set up the 'teenage dream'. We want it clear from the beginning who it is she is singing about.

There will be a range of different performance shots in different outfits, and in different locations - some outside and some in the studio. Our narrative shots will include mid shots and long shots of the boy and girl hanging out in school together and clearly looking like they enjoy each others company. At certain points in the song when the lyrics could be slightly suggestive, we will have a close up of her so the audience can have a clear understanding from her facial expressions. Half way through the song there is a moment when it will cut back again to the school scene and we will have a close up of each of them smiling at eachother. We have chosen this because we want it to come across that further on into the song, she begins to get more confident and therefore loses her shyness towards him. During this time, the performance shots will become more snappy and lavish and giving more a 'rocky' performance. The end shot will consist of a two faded shots. One being a close up of her smiling, and the other being of the two of them walking away holding hands.
