Music Channels

Music channels that would exhibit our music video would be willing to present my music video. Having researched music channels that would accesable through freeview channels, Sky channels or Virgin.
Q shows quirky music and upbeat music that would be a perfect channel for our music video. It allows the audience to listen to new music as well as different genres in comparison to most music channels that focus on one type of genre. It is based on the music magazine and was launched in 2000. It is operated by Box Television, and specialises in indie, rock and alternative.
Box Television also provides an audience with different genre's but fixes mainly on pop music and party songs. Although are song is quirky and humourous we would find it on this channel due to the similiarity of Lily Allen songs and video's that would relate to our song. It is also a joint venue between Bauer Group and Channel 4. MTV would also be a good music chanel that would play our music video as it dominates a large audience and would also benefit us as it plays all different genres and it would also be beneficial to new and upcoming artists.MTV is an American network based in New York City that launched on August 1, 1981. VIVA would be a good music channel as it is a 24 hour music channel that plays non stop music and programmes. It was launched in Germany in 1993 and has been successful.


NME is also from a music magazine and is a British music channel owned by CSC media group.The channel replaced Minx on 22 November 2007.

Storyboard

The storyboard consists of our performer having a bad day as soon as she wake ups, her room is a mess and she cannot find anything. She seems lost and confused. Her lyrics also link in to the song as she is having a bad day and she stumbles into work late and is a bad morning as its raining and nothing goes right. We then shoot at a office location and we see that her computer freezes and she can get anything right. As work finishes she finally sees her boyfriends which cheers her day up and she everything goes right and she then has a twist and she leaves her boyfriend to go clubbing with her friends. From our location shots we will be shooting the office location at school as there is an empty office we can use, central London such as Hyde Park, St James Park, Trafalgar Square and London Eye to show the night scenes and we will be using restaurants scenes showing Noor and Jack on a date in love and having a good time. We will also be using Harrow On the Hill to show some scenes of Noor and Jack walking up the hill and the posh area showing the loaction and them walking hand in hand while having a converssation.

Location Shots

We shall be using a combination of performance shots in the studio and location shots in the more secluded part of Harrow on the Hill and various places around central London like St James park, Hyde Park and the London eye. The night time shots shall be shot in central London as that is the times she will be out with her boyfriend and her friends for the end. We will also be using office shots to show her work and to link to the song.
