Roles

There is only 2 of us in Mercury productions.

Because  of this it means we shall try and share responsibilities equally. I shall perform in front of camera whilst Tom will film. We shall try and split editing between us, however Tom has more experience so will take on more. I shall make the Digipack with input from Tom.

Props

We shall use different props for both narrative and performance, this shall bring humour and a start/end to story.
In the narrative we shall use props to make links from someone to remembering the past and the past it self. An example of this would be myself seeing a pack of cards, then thinking back to playing cards with Paddington. The mis-en-scene would be very important for this to work. Other idea's would be using a frisbee, fifa/football game, driving in a car, picnic.
We shall use something like a picture at the start and end of the video, this shows that there is a equilibrium, then Paddington will leave, causing a disequilibrium, then shall return, so the picture is shown again to show the equilibrium is restored.
Also we shall use props for comedic value, an example of this is using a suitcase when Paddington returns. Of course the suit case would be bigger than him and it obvious he wouldn't use it as he is only seen with one outfit. We could also use the frisbee to hit him, he cannot catch it as he is only a stuffed bear.

Locations

For my narrative I shall shoot the video mostly around my house. That gives it the realistic feel, however for the flashbacks we shall shoot in various locations. The Frisbee scene will be filmed in my garden, and the FIFA scene will be filmed in my lounge.

Amarillo (Is this the way too?) is filmed mostly in corridors, so we shall shoot the footage of the spoof in the school corridors. A-wing in particular has a split where my backing singers can come from either side. We may also film outside on the pavement as Amarillo does use different locations in the video.

OK Go's Here we go again, will be filmed in the school gym. The original video uses treadmills, so we shall use the treadmills in the gym. It is also a big wide space to use a split screen effect.

Bohemian Rhapsody will be shot in a black room, probably the medical room at school, as it has no windows. A torch can then be used to light up my face to get the spoof similar to the original video.

Selecting videos to mimick

We had to decide what videos we were going to spoof for the performance element of our video. Due to resources such as locations and costumes we have decided on:


(Is this the way to) Amarillo - Tony Christie ft Peter Kay
Here We Go Again - OK Go
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen


We only chose 3 because there is 3 chorus's and we also wanted to add narrative.


We believe these 3 videos are very iconic and relatively easy to achieve.
