The Script

The Script

 The script was created by Ashley and created so we would know the timing of the song to go with the shots. This script will be useful while editing so we know what time of the songs go with each shot.

Shot List

Shot List

 We created the shot list so we could use while filming the music video. I completed the shot list and then printed it out. The shot list follow the same as the storyboard.

The Storyboard

The Storyboard

 We all got together as a group and did the final planning for the storyboard. We all gave different ideas towards it and discussed the possibilities of some ideas. Harry was the group member who created the storyboard.

Location Shots

Location Shots

We have one main location in our music video. The location is in Ashley's house and it is a room with just the poker table in the middle. With only the poker table in the middle it gives the location a 'Back Alley Poker' feel. This was a key part to our mise-en-scene. 

The song choice - "Short Change Hero"

THE HEAVY LYRICS

"Short Change Hero"

I can't see where you comin' from

But I know just what you runnin' from:

And what matters ain't the "who's baddest" but

The ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, baby

And you feel like you feelin' now

And doin' things just to please your crowd,

When I love you like the way I love you,

And I suffer, but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero.

This ain't no place for no better man.

This ain't no place for no hero

To call "home."

This ain't no place for no hero.

This ain't no place for no better man.

This ain't no place for no hero

To call "home."

Every time I close my eyes, I think,

I think about you inside,

And your mother, givin' up on askin' why -

Why you lie, and you cheat, and you try to make

A fool outta she...

I can't see where you comin' from,

But I know just what you're runnin' from.

And what matters ain't the "who's baddest," but the

Ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero.

This ain't no place for no better man.

This ain't no place for no hero

To call "home."

Why we chose this song

We chose this because both rhythm and lyrics of the song would fit the narrative and theme of the video. The chorus 'This ain't no place for no hero.' fits well with the theme of a poker game. We think that the song will run smooth with narrative 

Tracks we considered

Tracks we considered 

We consider a list of tracks that would fit in to our music video theme.

They were-

• Thick As Thieves - Kasabian 
• The House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals 
• Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Cage The Elephant
• The Importance Of Being Idle - Oasis
• Re-Wired - Kasabian
• King Of Kings - Motörhead
• Short Changed Hero -The Heavy

These were all the tracks we considered. Some of the tracks melody fit the theme of the video well but the lyrics wouldn't fit the overall narrative.
