Pitch

The song I have chosen is Say What You Want by We Caught The Castle, a local band from Reading. I have all of the permission I need from the band, actress and venues to film, so this won't be a problem.

Say What You Want is a song about not judging people on their past. The band are telling the people that put them down that they can 'saywhat they want' because they're happy with their lives and are successfull musicians. 'You just let down everyone' is something that critics say to them. 'Trusted failure' 'Watch my fall again' and 'I've heard it all before' are all key lyrics to the song and show the attitude of the band. These lyrics are important and should be linked in with the live footage I plan on shooting. There are several references to the past, and idea I have is to have a scene where the actress is ripping up photos of people that have never had faith in her. Guitar solos should be linked in with live footage. I'd like to include slow motion clips of the girl smashing things around, frustrated with what people say to her.
At the beginning I'd like to film her walking toward the camera in the woods, the camera focused on her feet, slowly tilting up to her face to introduce the character. Other scenes I'd like to include are the girl doing her makeup and getting dressed - a symbolism of pride and also texting someone saying 'say what you want'. The end clip will be a close up of the girl smiling, content with who she is.
