pitch 1

my first pitch is for 'youth of the nation' by P.O.D. my idea for the video is to have a mixture of narrative and performance that will blend together to create a mood that the song expresses. the song speaks of children growing up and being isolated. all they want to do is shout out and be heard. so my idea is to film the video in a empty school playground. the singer will be dressed in black so he stands out and so there's contrast between him and the background. there will be a strong performance by the singer, showing emotion through movement as well as expression. the video will be quickly cut to give the video a feel of disorientation.

apart from cuts of the singer and various scenes of the playground, they'll be imagery as well. for example, a picture of a school photo with the children disappearing, leaving only one child. this helps create the sense of loneliness. they'll also be cuts of children's faces going past the screen so quickly that you can hardly see there faces. with some of them i mite blur the face as well that will make the video darker and amplify the meaning. i aim to make a video that is as emotional as it is visually interesting. i was also thinking about doing layers of imagery. there's a part in the song where there's a choir singing as well as the lead singer of P.O.D. i was thinking of layering up the imagery to go with the music. this too will act well towards the disorientation.

i couldn't find music video's that had exactly what i wanted by the energy from the performance i want is close to that of 'chop suey' by system of a down. the performance in that video is really well cut and is full of confidence.
