Story Plan

Synopsis:

This video will represent a diverse range of girls to empower its target audience. There will be a mixture of the narrative being a group of girl-friends wandering around throughout a day and aesthetically pleasing shots showing a large range of interests, one for each individual girl. 

Representations:

- LGBT
Two characters will hold hands in the well-known image generally used by straight couples where one girl is walking away with her hand linked with the camera-holder. 
- Age
Nanny is an old woman, my mother is middle-aged, the group of friends is young adult/teenage, Violet is adolescent and the baby is young.
- Ethnicity
Nanny is Myanmese alongside her husband, their children are therefore ethnically Myanmese and their children half with the baby being a quarter Myanmese and the people that have married into the family being Caucasian. Lea is Japanese, Inshallah and her sisters are Pakistani, Yolanda is Spanish and Annabelle is of European descent. The rest of the girls look Caucasian although they do technically have diversity within the regions of Britain and Europe that they come from as Libby is Irish, 


Plan: 

1) Starts out with close-up shots of different girls' faces.
2) A wide long-shot of three girls in the three outfits stated in the lyrics ("")
3) The narrative is established through close ups and long shots.
4) There is a mix of photograph-style shots and the narrative for a while.
5) Some of the narrative shots are edited to be more grainy to create a more natural tone.
6) The performance aspect is properly introduced as the lyrics start being 'sang'.
7) The three different aspects of the video mix.
