Cast Decisions
For our music video we decided to cast the band members, so as to portray them trying to 'make it big'. As well as using the four members (Jimmy, Bud, Joe, OL /Baz) in the band we are going to get extras to be the people who follow the band, we will get these people from the public who are in town at the time so to create a normal atmosphere with the film.

Genre

Outline of Narrative
The narrative story we have chosen for the band Bazmaki’s Evile is that of a linear order as we have decided to input cuts of the band playing a live performance, inbetween this performance we will input cuts to follow a girl through a park, who, as the song states, is running away. However these are not flashbacks and are still in the correct order.
Taking inspiration from the songs lyrics we have decided on the story of following the girl played by a college student through a park. whilst inputting clips of her surroundings and herself to give off the appearance that she is being stalked.
The video will start off with the bands amp which says their name on it so that the audience is clear from the start not only does the video have a storyline focused on the song but that the band are a key point to the video and will be easily recognisable for the audience to follow via their fanbase on myspace etc.
The video will have various different angles of the band playing and will contain lip-synching as well as alternative shots of the girl walking through the park.
The video will start with a number of different shots of the band and girl as well as the surroundings to give the audience an idea of what is coming whilst the instrumental at the begining is playing.
When the music involving singing starts we are going to have the band lip-synching and on the occasional word fit it exactly to the visuals. eg. "Runaway, Runaway..." we will show the girl running and on "You" we will have the girl as the focus to continue with the theme that #2you" could be referring to you as the stalker , the girll or the audience as the stalker.
By keeping the identity of the person watching the girl we are going to use steady, canted and POV shots to add to a mysterious unkown effect which relates to the unknown identity of "You" in the song.
We are hoping this will indicate to the audience the bands new search for their identity as they are running away from the feeling they lov which could be the girl running from a stalker, or she is a runaway trying to get away from her life or the band running away from sticking to the normal stereotypes which often indie bands are stuck with.When the band play the final chorus of the song the video will speed up after having the slow motioned effect throughout, to createe a different atmosphere which will show they are not conventional. The video will Climax with the band sitting around and having a good time to lighten the mood after performing, together.
