Little Miss Pipedream-

The Wombats
By Joe and Lexi
Proposal

Concept
The song will start with the guy who puts a tape in the tape recorder showing the title of the
song and the title the tape. The tape doesn’t play so he takes it out and turns it round showing
our names. he then blows on in and then puts it back in and the song plays. It shows him
getting ready in the morning following some of the lyrics like; "Because I'd cheat a priest just to
get to you..." where he throws a bible in the bin. There is then the parallel edit when the lines
about the girl come up showing her in a reception of a doctors. After the first chorus i will switch
back to the boy having left.

On the middle bit he is sat on a bench playing on an old school video game console the girl
walks past and looks at him, he drops the Gameboy in a nervous shock. There is an awkward
meeting till she walks off. he sees her go into a pub and follows her sitting on the other side
talking with her other friends. There is a sort of time-lapse of everyone leaving the pub and him
about to walk up to her table when she is alone but being knocked away by someone in the
pub. This is also a match cut to him accentually bumping into her and she is dropping all her
stuff like a typical love scene but instead of him helping it's another guy and him being pushed
aside again.

It ends with a montage of scenes where he fails to get any connection with the girl. All the
scenes are classic scene you would see in a romantic film.

Why are you producing this production?

I have chosen the song by The Wombats because from my research they have an older feel to
their music which can appeal to the target audience. From My research I also found out that a
nostalgic vibe is really good to go for so making seem like it was filmed in the 90s (if it works)
Deadline
Pre-production- 18th October
Filming- 8th November
Editing – 22nd November

Target audience
25- 40

What they want to see

To get a nostalgic feel I have been told that fresh
prince really captures the 90s and I should
replicate the same mise-en-sence as the show
to get that nostalgic feel they are looking for.

What you are creating based from that research

I am going to use a lot of the mise-en-sence from fresh prince. I am also going to have
a plot that is reminiscent of 80s to 90s romantic comedies and the failed attempts at
trying to get a girl.

Where the production will be aired (why – based on target

audience)
A lot of them don’t watch music videos but if they were to, they
said they would watch it on YouTube.

Contingency plan
If there are going to be any problems with the chosen locations, we’ll have to
look for different places that would allow us to film there and also that would
fit with the theme of our music video. When it comes to the actors playing the
main roles, we’ll take to think about back-ups and find people that are
available to play. We’ll have to re-arrange the schedule so that we can film at
a time when everyone is present.
