Pre-Production
Stealing all my friends – Carlie Hanson, music video

Basic concept of the music video

Pre-production: colour schemes (style sheet)

Pre-production: Font (style sheet)
I may use this font because I like how it
uses a mix of thick and thin lines this makes
it look kind of messy and all over the place
I may use this font because it looks quite
creepy and old I also get vampire vibes
from it which would suite the theme of the
video.
Like the last font I like the old fashioned
style which I think makes the font look
spookier. This font is easier to read then
the last one as it is more spread out.
I may use this font because I like how it’s bold
but not all one solid colour and how some of
the letters curl round.

Pre-production: Album cover layout 1 (style sheet)
Picture of the artist
Song title
Parental
advisory
I may use a picture of the artist
as that is what most album
covers use but if I do, I will edit it
to look animated or drawn
because that is a common theme
for alt music album covers. I
would put the song title at the
top so you can see the image
better. I would also put the
parental advisory sticker on the
bottom right corner

Pre-production: Album cover layout 2 (style sheet)
Picture relating to the music video
Song title
I may use an image from the
music video so the video and
cover link together and you
can tell they're for the same
thing at a glance. I would put
the song title across the
middle so it was more in your
face instead of at the top or at
an edge. There would be the
parental guidance/advisory in
the bottom right-hand corner.

Location recce: music video
A19 Main St, Shipton, Shipton by
Beningbrough, York YO30 1AA
I will be filming the majority of the
music video in the public field in my
village. It will take 2 minuets to walk
from my house to the field. This means
we are also 2 minutes away from
somewhere to get food and drink and a
toilet.
Lion Cottage Main st, Shipton
by Beningbrough, York YO30 1AB
I will be filming the last scene of the
video in my house. We will have to walk
back from the field to my house which
will only take a couple of minutes.

Sim Balk Ln, Bishopthorpe, York YO23 2BB
I'm going to use the college studio to do
part of the photoshoot for the cover. I
won't take long to do the shoot so we
don't need to worry about food and
there is toilets in college if we need
them.

Structural breakdown
Intro 0:00-0:11
Starts with a shot of
bears looking all battered
slowly pans over to emilie
on a bed.

1st verse
I've seen snow in August take our
summer hostage
But we loved it everytime
Putting life out on the line
Beautiful and nauseous laughing from
exhaustion
And I couldn't help but cry
I wish I could tell you why
I remember when you turned your
lights off
We were laying, trying to figure out
what went wrong
You were too far gone
0:11-0:50
Emilie is laying on a bed
lip-syncing to the song,
like she is in denial that
her friend is gone.
Slowly starts to zoom in.

Chorus
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends
Shot of the bears again to
resemble her friends that
are dying.
0:50-1:05

2nd verse (first half)
Emilie cutts of a bears head
that resembls her
friend, this shows the
anger she feels that her
friend is dead.
1:05-1:20
I don't think I can take, take
it anymore 'cause
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends

2nd verse (second half)
Told us you would make it,
same day you were taken
Everybody saw the signs
And we missed them every time
I wish you could answer your
phone
So we all didn't feel so alone
Heaven knows, if I had a choice
I'd do anything to hear your
voice
Emilie begins to pick the
petals off a flower which is
starting to kill the flower.
1:20-1:47

Pre chorus
I remember when you
turned your lights off
We were laying, tryin' to
figure out what went wrong
You were too far gone Emilie chops off the heads
of the flowers with scissors
like she is trying to sacrifice
the flowers, like she is
bargening for her friend to
be alive.
1:47-2:00

chorus
2:00-2:20
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my
Emilie is wondering around
a forest in the dark, this
resembls depresion in the
5 stages of grief.

Bridge + last verse
Emilie is just sat in the bath
stairing blankly at a
wall, this is to resemble the
stage of acceptance.
2:20-2:42
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends
I don't think I can take, take it
anymore 'cause
Drugs keep stealing all my
friends
Stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends

Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
The actress for the video and the model for the
album cover could drop out.
I would need to make sure I have someone to
fill their place if they can't make it.
The blow-up bed could pop/have a hole in. Check the bed id okay before filming and
make sure there is a spear one to use just
in case.
It could rain on the day of filming. Look at the weather forecast to try and plan
to film on a day it's not supposed to rain.
We might not be able to shoot some scenes
due to the time the actress has to leave.
Have alternative shots planed so there is
still enough footage for the whole video.
Some shots we only have one chance to
get it right.
Do practice shots first so I can get the angle
I want before shooting the real thing.
The costume the actress has to wear might
not fit her.
Have an alternative outfit ready for her to
wear.

Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
The actress could be severely allergic to
something in the bath bomb.
I have googled the ingredients and none of
them are what she is allergic to, but we will film
as quick as possible, and she can have a shower
right after just to be safe.
The actress could cut herself with the
scissors.
Make sure she uses them correctly and
safely during shots.
The actress could drown in the bath. Don't fill the bath to high and make sure the
actress doesn't put her head under water.
One of us could trip over a rabbit hole in the
field.
Be careful of where we are walking so, we
don't fall.
We could get run over while walking to the
field to film.
Only cross the road at the road crossings.
We could get electrocuted while filming in
the bathroom.
Don't bring in any electrical wires/cables in
the bathroom like a phone charger.

Risk assesment.
Risk How to prevent it
I could drop my phone in the bath. Hold my phone tight so I don't drop it into
the water.
Don't put anything electrical in the bath. Don't take electronics into the bathroom
and especialy near the bath.
We could break the scissors. Be careful when using them don't just
throw them around.
