Robbie Williams - She's The One on
MUZU.TV
I am going to recreate this with a performance and narrative music video. For the performance aspects of the video
will be an older male lipsyncing the lyrics, being Robbie Williams. The person playing Robbie will ideally be in their
late 20's early 30. For this I may use the school stage in B hall as the location for the shoot along with a
microphone set. It will be mainly look to camera shots taken from various angles and differing heights. In
order to link that narrative and performance together, at this stage I am considering having Robbie walking
through the locations of narrative, eg leaves, lip-syncing.
The narrative sections will consist of three different ages of people, one boy and one girl, starting with a young
child. We may have problems with this so I am not giving an exact age but aslong as they are under 7years old
it will work. The second couple will be about 14 and these actors will be hopefully some of my brothers friends in
his year. Finally will be two 18 year olds for which I will use people in my year for. The ages of the younger
children may vary depending on parental consent and availability during the time of filming. Permission slips
will have to be signed by parents in the case of the younger children. The narrative of the younger children will be
recored on a DV camera that we used last year. They have lower screen quality so will provide the effect of ageing
on the footage. If this is not to the level we would like it, further editing can be done in Final Cut Express.
The remaining footage will be shot using a HD camera.
Some of my ideas of what the actors can be doing for the separate age groups are;
- messing about in the leaves
- blowing out birthday candles
- baking - for this the youngest two will have baking mix around their face and the older two will have flour
handprints on their bum or chest.
- driving a car - the youngest in a homemade cardboard box car, the 14year olds on Mario Karts on the Wii
using the wheel remote and the oldest couple driving an actual car.
- I love you - messy childrens writing, text language, pretty swirly writing
- fancy dress - the outfits get more revealing as the children get older
- watching tv together - ceebeebies, the simpsons, a romantic movie cuddled up on the sofa however some
testing will need to be done for this one as the tv may flicker as we play the footage back
There will also be a collage of photos of their life together, and pan of the window sill which is decorated with
photo frames - camera then zooms into one of these and it turns from a still image to a a film memory. Bonfire
nights/ watching the fireworks together - toffee apples, hats and scarfs etc. swings/at the park. First kiss.
Editing - not only will the footage of the younger children be aged, it may also be in black and white to make
it clear that it is a memory. I will also use slow motion for certain sections of the flashbacks and a variety of
transitions as well as layering.
My inspiration for this pitch was not necessarily other music videos, however I have looked at other forms of
multimedia such as the Nikon Coolpix s3000 camera advert where there are a group of friends and the person
taking the photo zooms in on the face of the person he loves. Another example of my influences can be seen
below.
The John Lewis Chrismas 2010 advert:
All of these ideas are condensed into my pitch to the class that you can view below, along with some feedback and questions I recieved after
However, after filming a 2005 documentary and releasing a new greatest hits album, the four-piece Take That officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, called The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while taking the number of records sold to over 40 million worldwide.
