Planning- Music Video

For our pop music video we have chosen to do Demi Lovato's song `Mistake'. We have chosen to do this song because it would fit our target age groups 15-20 year olds. Demi Lovato is a young popular artist, the audiences would be able to connect to her because of that and also connect to her songs because her experiences about love and break ups would be similar in that age group. 

Under this photograph I have written the lyrics to the song 'Mistake'. As you can see the song is about moving on with your life after a break up. We will try to capture these lyrics in a video camera and show it through our music video.  

Our music video will be `narrative based and `performance based'. The music video will switch between these two concepts showing the past of the artist which will be narrative based showing her past as she was having a good time with her boyfriend and the performance based will be when she is lipsinging in teh present thinking about the past.We will use many techniques and editing skills in our music video such as a time lapse, at the beginning of the music video this is to show how the main character is feeling, time passing by just like that. Right after this there will be 5 to 6 pictures of the main character and her past lover. These pictures will be shown very quickly as it has to fit in with the fast beat. The main parts of our music video will be performance based and some will be memories of the main character and her past love. Overall using effects and techniques to will have a huge hand in our music video as we are trying to show the character moving on rather than getting sad about it.

Lyrics - Mistake

Now that I am thinking sober

Don't you try to get no closer

I'm just gonna get in my car and drive, and drive

Looking in the rear view mirror

Everything is so much clearer

Watch me wave it all goodbye, goodbye

The lights flashing, giving me all the danger signs

Someone to save, to save but it don't work that way

Think you made your greatest mistake

I'm not gonna call this a break

I think you really blew it this time

Think you could walk on such a thin line

Won't be taking your midnight calls

Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall

I see it written on your face

You know you made it, your greatest mistake

(Your greatest mistake

 Your greatest mistake

Your greatest mistake)

When the last straw is broken

When the last door is closing

I ain't that dumb to stick around, stick around

I ain't got the time for looking back

Gonna let yourself slip through the cracks

And you just keep going down, down, down

I'mma stay undercover, lay low need some time

No one to save, to save, this sick cycle's over babe

Think you made your greatest mistake

I'm not gonna call this a break

Think you really blew it this time

Think you could walk on such a thin line

Won't be taking your midnight calls

Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall

I see it written on your face

You know you made it, your greatest mistake

Why you lookin' at me, spittin' the same old line

Tryin' to creep back, ain't no flippin' my mind

Don't you get it by now

The story's over, over

Still callin' my name outside my house

I'mma hittin' the switch, watch the lights go out

Watch the lights go out

I hope you ache, ache, ache, ohh, ohh oh

I hope you ache, ache, ache, ohh, ohh oh (ohhh)

Yeah, yeah-yeah

Think you made your greatest mistake

I'm not gonna to call this a break

Think you really blew it this time

Think you could walk on such a thin line

Won't be taking your midnight calls

Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall

I see it, written on your face

You know you made it, your greatest mistake

Ohhh, oh

Oh-ohh
