The Pitch

Our video will start with Kay the main artist walking on top of a bridge looking very distressed and unhappy, we do this straight away so that the audience will begin to question what is wrong, and as Kay is walking he begins to drag he`s feet and start to look around as if he misplaced something or looking for something, he then carries on he,s journey and he is asking random people for directions including a ice cream truck driver, and then it is like he carries on an endless journey to wherever he is going to and then it is the same for Holly as she also is wondering around looking for something and she is trying to call someone however the person seems unavailable and she starts to get frustrated as it sounds like she wants to say something very important, however turns out they are both lovers that are both taking a break from their relationship and there is that hint of contrast in the video as both artist are in different places both very far from themselves as Kay is in London and Holly is in the countryside in Ongar so the audience can see how big the difference is from their distance, however they finally come together in a neutral location. The idea of Kay and Holly filming together did not go well however they came to conclude that filming by themselves would help show the content of the song itself especially with the title "Closer".

Our Influence

We were influenced to choose our music due to what was classified as "hot" on the streets for the youth and the song "Closer" was practically the anthem for last years summer so we decided to select it for our Music video, we have been also influenced by also pop artists such as Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift flow hence why we mostly exaggerated our lip syncing, we had watched several of their videos to see how they attracted more audience to watch their video rather than listen to the song and focusing on the camera at all times was the main thing and also what they wore and their location the video was shot at.
