Planning - Outline

I chose to do Van Halen song Hot for Teacher.
This song has a relatively fast tempo, which will enable me to utilize fast jump cuts lasting at most 4 seconds. To enhance the fast paced nature of the song, there will be effects utilized on the shots, depending on the situation. The lyrics are suggesting about having an attraction to a teacher, although I am not utilizing the lyrics for use on the music video, the only relation from the lyrics is that this will be school themed.

Oh yeah!

T-T-teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Uh!

Ooo-oo-ooo

I heard about your lessons
but lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Whoa! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!
(Guitar Solo)

Ooh-yeah!

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!

Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!

Oh my God!
Woo!

My music video would last about 2:30 minutes, as the original song length is 4:00. Usually music videos cut the length of the song shorter so that audience wouldn't want to see it drag on, although there can be long music videos, those are tend to be narrative based.

The concept used for the music video is how school life is not always to be expected, with the video following enthusiastic students to see what activities are happening. Together the type of music video would be abstract, and performance based on the hard rock genre.

A storyboard will be planned out so the basic outline of how the music video goes will provide me with many ideas to bring forward if I decided to change something.

As with many of the music videos listen here I will include some of the shots of performance playing at suitable places to reflect back on the genre of hard rock talent.

Different areas such as the road heading up to school, the main school building and the subject houses will feature into the music video. Other detail such as bedroom and classroom will be featured as well.

The style of the video would suit the modern side of society, without using any means of clothing style from the 80's, just the casual clothes of the students.
