MUSIC VIDEO PLANNING:

AnxiousAlibi/When We Were Kids

Main characters

Jill and Joel are the main characters

in our music video. Our original idea

focused on young adolescences

behaving in a rebellious manner as

this tends to be what happens as

teenagers grow up. However, we

have changed our concept and

decided for it to focus on a strong

friendship between a girl and a boy

who have grown up together. These

characters will bump into each other

on an escalator and the montage will

be a flashback of all their memories.

In the edit, we will use colour for the

flashbacks and black and white to

portray the current situations.

CostumesThe costumes worn in the

music video by Jill are black

jeans, a white top, a black

cardigan and also a jumper.

Furthermore, Joel wears

black jeans, a white t-shirt, a

blue shirt, denim jeans and a

black hoody. All of these

costumes are high street

fashion- modern and stylish.

This is part of pop culture.

Therefore, we thought these

costumes would be

appropriate as they are

popular outfits teenagers

wear. As our music video is

going to be a montage,

there is likely to be a variety

of high street fashion

costume.

Locations explained…

Most of our locations are based outside. We chose to do this as the song ‘When we

Were Kids’ is about growing up and wanting to be a kid again; as you grow up you tend

to want to be away from home and as a kid, you usually love playing outside. The idea

of using a children’s park but being young adolescences implies that as you grow up,

you would love to get your childhood back. Therefore, we have shot Joel and Jill playing

on the swings together and messing around having a good time together. However, the

interior location is a common place to hang out as friends. This could be inter-textually

linked with the TV show ‘FRIENDS’. For instance, it focuses on friendship and they all hang

out at a coffee house called ‘Central Perk’.
