Location:
For the video we were thinking of a urban setting, so we are looking to film at Parkers Piece and the areas in the centre of Cambridge as it is public and easy to access for us all.
Performance Style:
For our video the performance will be mostly be a narrative of two people going through a break up and showing how they are dealing with it and hiding the pain. one of the characters will be female and will be the singer in the video. the singing will be done in a way that she will be singing during parts of the narrative and will have other shots when she is separate from everyone else.
Props:
Sunglasses for the main character, costumes for the characters and an umbrella.
Casting:
For the main guy in the video will be Peter and for the girl we still need to find someone. For the extras will will just get a few friends to help out.
Effects:
For the effects we could incorporate a green screen into the video to make one of the characters separate from the rest of the video.
Overall vision:
Overall the video is basically a story of two people who have broken up and it shows them dealing with the break up, in the end they get back together and it will be a happy ending.

Pretend it's OK - Music video pitch plan
"Pretend It's OK"
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's OK
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's OK
I remember the day when we rowed all night
I wish that I could get the day back and tell you it's alright
Cause we all do the same thing, we just don't realize
That we're living on borrowed time
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's OK
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's OK
I see the light that I'm chasing
A memory, but it's fading
When it's gone I'll be waiting
Knowing it's too late (knowing it's too late)
You chose the road that I'm walking
Now it's your soul that I'm caught in
And you're not hearing when I'm calling
Calling your name
One breath, one step, one life, one heart
Two words, two eyes, new beginning, new start
Too weak, too narrow, too short, too bright,
I'm better with you, here by my side
What would you do? What would you say?
How does it feel? Pretend it's OK
My eyes deceive me, but it's still the same
Pretend it's OK
Nothing here, no one talking, knowing it's too late
But sometimes it can get so hard pretending it's OK
Nothing here, no one talking, nothing's gonna change
But sometimes it can get so hard pretending it's OK
What would you do? (what would you do?)
What would you say? (what would you say?)

Little Mix - Pretend it's OK - Genre codes and conventions
Conventions of dance-pop:
- Artists wear modern, stylish clothing.
- Artists usually very happy an content with life.
- Music is often about love or relationships.

We will apply these conventions to our video by having the characters in the video wear stylish modern clothing, making sure the characters are happy by the end of the video, music is about love or relationships and this will be shown through our video, the video will focus of teens as the primary target audience and the characters featured in the video, the video will show pop culture showing teens hanging out in public in a popular spot in town.
Music Video Pitch
The performance -
The performance will mainly be a narrative based will occasional cuts to the singer performing. The character will be amongst friends and everything will seem okay, they'll be laughing and having a good time but it will frequently cut to a opposite scene where their on their own and in darkness. There will also be scenes where the character is with their partner and it fades to them on their own. The narrative will follow two characters, the singer who is a girl and has just broken up with a guy and the other character will be that guy, there both gonna be hurting and we will parallel edit between the two showing how there both hurt and missing each other.
Representation -
The artist and the main guy will be wearing casual mainstream everyday clothing, this representation will make them seem trendy and appeal to teenage audiences as the lyrics of the song relate to many people.
The relationship between the lyrics and visuals -
The visuals will have a strong relationship between the lyrics by having shots of what the lyrics are about eg. when the lyrics 'My eyes deceive me' come up we will have a close up of the singer/character looking at the camera as an example. The song has a reference to break ups so we thought that the narrative will be about a break up between two people.
