House
1. Medium shot- this showed the main character waking up and also showed that he was in a bedroom and domestic environment
2. Close up- showing him getting out of bed and also showed more of the bedroom setting
3. Close up sequence- this sequence showed him putting his t-shirt on but was also edited to fit the beat of the music and emphasise this convention of music videos
4. Long shot- walking down the stairs, this gave the audience more insight into his house and gave the idea that he is from a working class background, similar to our target audience
5. Close up- the character is walking to his door
6. Medium shot- shows him leaving his house and, for a split second, the audience will speculate where he is going
School
1. Long tracking shot- follows the character and his friend, who later turns out to be in the band, walking into school, which can be seen by the gates in the background. Another long shot sequence shows the characters walking into the building
2. Close up- this sequence of 5 shots shows the characters walking up the stairs and also shows off more of the school environment
Green Screen
The green screen sequence is seen through a long shot as it allows the performers to be emphasised by the background, which in this instance is clouds, to represent how they are flying in the clouds and happy with life, even though, through the use of the beer can, it is evident that they are in fact not succeeding and are rebellious teenagers who do not seem to have any direction in life.
School
1. Medium shot which leads to a close up- this shows the character, who has just pushed away a group of girls, walking into a classroom. The close up comes when he points and blows a kiss to the camera, adding humour to the video
2. Long shot- showing the character in a classroom setting, his rebellious side is again emphasised when he is asked to leave the classroom
3. Medium shot- after he has left the classroom he walks past a group of girls who bang the window trying to get his attention. This shows how although he may not be leading a successful life, he is popular with the girls, just like many rebellious teens nowadays are. This therefore emphasises reality
The next sequence of shots comes after the 'Groundhog Day' reference and is therefore a repetition of the beginning sequence. This intertextual reference links to the film because in the film, the character repeats each day exactly the same and therefore we emphasised this link by repeating the morning sequence. However, to add to our theme that you can always turn your life around, we changed the ending to show that our character had taken the high road and had become a more well rounded, better being, putting more emphasis on his school work and getting a girlfriend. We show this through a sequence which eventually leads to a humorous green screen ending.
School
1. Establishing shot- this shows the character by himself walking into school, however he is without the beer can he originally had, and shows more of the school which helps to emphasise how he has changed and decided to focus more on his education
2. Long shot to medium shot- through this shot we can see the character turn away the offer of alcohol and chooses the girlfriend instead, again helping to highlight the changes he has made in his life
3. Medium shot to long shot- walking down the corridor which is meant to represent the backstage area before he takes to his performance. This shows the character and the girl skipping down the corridor, introducing the humorous aspect and building up to the end of the video
Green Screen
The last section of our video shows the two original characters again performing through a long shot. The images change varying from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and shows how the band have picked themselves up and have now become a successful band that are slowly breaking the music industries over the world and finally ending in Hollywood, a notoriously hard place to succeed in.
