Filming days

Monday October 11th 2010 - We went to Market Street in town for our first day of filming. We had to make sure that we discussed what part of the scene we were going to do first. There was a lot of people going past and looking at the camera. We experienced difficulty while we was filming as there was a bin men stood in one of our shot, we had to wait for them to go before we continued filming. The weather was very cold and because of this it took longer than anticipated. Sumaya was doing the camera and had to take many shots so that we can have more angles to work with when we are editing.

On Thursday - We took location shots of the park near college, also we had a discussion as a group about what kind of shots were going to take and how we are going to relate the location to our music video. We took two shots of Umar and Zainab in and around college that we were going to use in our video.

Song Lyrics

[CHRIS BROWN]
Weak,

I have been cryin'
And cryin' for weeks
How'd i survive

When I can barely speak
Barely eat
On my knees

[KERI HILSON]
But that's the moment
You came to me
I don't know
What your love
Has done to me
I think
I'm invisible you see
Through to me
I used to be

Chorus:

[CHRIS BROWN]
You changed
My whole life

[KERI HILSON]
Don't know
What your doin' to me
With your love

[CHRIS BROWN]
I'm feelin'
All superhuman
You did this to me
Superhuman
All day with me
They can't stop me
Here with you
Superhuman
Superhuman
Superhuman

[CHRIS BROWN]
Strong
Since i've been flyin
And ridin' the wrongs
Feels like
I almost had it all along
I can see the

[KERI HILSON]
But every problem
Is gone because
I threw everywhere
But love inside of me
Its unbelievable to see
How love could set me free

Chorus:
You changed
My whole life
Don't know
What your doin' to me
With your love
I'm feelin
All superhuman
You did this to me
Superhuman
All day with me
They can't stop me
Here with you
Superhuman
Superhuman

[CHRIS BROWN]
Its not a bird
Not a plane

[BOTH]
It's my heart
And it's gon go away

My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I feel like I can do
Anything

Chorus:

[BOTH]
Goin goin'
I'm goin' away
Love
You changed
My whole life
Don't know
What your doin' to me
With your love
I'm feelin'
All superhuman
You did this to me
Superhuman
All day with me
They can't stop me
Here with you
Superhuman
Superhuman

The first verse will be filmed in the Manchester City Centre. This will be where Kyle is walking and sees Zainab with her new boyfriend.


The second verse will be Zainab singing and looking at her phone. Not paying any attention to Umar (her new boyfriend).

There will be a cut to the past where Kyle and Zainab were happy, then a scene of them fighting and ending up breaking the relationship.

Now that they broke up the lyrics are very relevent to what happens and what the audience sees. "you changed my whole life.." and "but every problem has gone because i go everywhere with love inside of me..." This shows that they still love each other and cant get over the relationship.


The verse after that will be in the Trafford Centre where there is a split screen of both of them singing as the verses in the chorus are where they both together. When the song finished they both will go different ways, which will show the sign of separation.

Shooting Schedule

At the beginning of the music video it will be shot on market street, with most of the scenes being shot around the city centre, wherever we deem a suitable location to shoot. Some of the scenes will be shot around and outside the Trafford Centre because it shows a variety of different scenery and shots of different things that happened. The locations will create an impact on the storyline of our music and the genre of it. Then the rest of the scenes will be filmed in the close areas around college. Another lot of the scenes will be filmed in a cafe. Very few scenes we film will be with the aid of green screen.

Monday 11th - 15th October:

Over this period we will begin the production with our first scene being set in the city centre. The main shot will being shot will be a tracking shot of Kyle. He will be walking and at the same time will be looking very upset. The next main shot that we will be attempting to shot is the one where Kyle sees his Ex-girlfriend with her new man.

Monday 18th - 22nd October:

Over this period we will be going to the Trafford Centre and film some scenes there.

Analysis of Music Videos

Title: Find Your Love by Drake
Song / Video Duration: 3:29 / 5:47
Genre: R&B / synthpop
Director: Anthony Mandler

Synopsis: The video for the song is about going and looking for love in all the wrong places and despite knowing that he could die doing this but he will do it anyway. The video is set in Jamaica. It starts with text on the screen then to a shot of Drake being warned by a elderly man about staying away and out of trouble when his music should be his number one priority. For the rest of the video it follows Drake as he goes looking for this girl. About half way through the music stops and goes to a dialogue where the gangster that "owns" the girl who Drake is in love with as they beginning to plot against him. As the video is coming to its end you see him outside her house trying to call for her attention but is then surrounded by the gangster's henchmen. He then wakes up to being tied to a chair with the gangster and the girl looking at him with a bullet, she then walks around the back of him and as she is about to pull the trigger it ends with a cliffhanger and the words "Find" "Your" "Love", which are also the title of the song come on one at a time.
