Music Video Pitch

Director: Makenzie Connors
Camera Man: Isaac Scarborough
Editor: Kelly Stanley

Band name: Caligula’s Birthday Party
Song title: Ed Hesive
Music video title/ tagline: Apparition

Apparition means that a ghost or deceased being can appear in visible form to the living.


Concept:

The video is going to start out with the main character getting hit by a car. He is going to roam around town for a while (probably South Bend) not realizing he is dead – or rather in an in-between life and death state. After a while he realizes that people can’t see him and starts getting really confused. He starts getting frantic and starts running and comes across the scene where he got hit by the car. He then starts going around more and trying to go up to people he knows and get their attention. After none of this works, he resorts to going back to his room. He begins to rummage through his things, and finally starts looking through his photos. He finds a picture of one of his friends. He really thinks that he can get through to communicating with her that he’s not actually dead and he goes to her house. Meanwhile she is devastated because she thinks she just lost one of her best friends. But then she starts noticing that things are moving around her room (his “ghost” will be moving things). He then starts writing on her notebook that he’s not actually dead. It doesn’t take her long before she goes to where his body is. When she goes there, she sees him and goes up to him and begins crying. She starts to hug him, and then he starts gradually coming back to life. Before they know it, he is completely back to life.

Style:

The overall tone of the video is going to be relatively gloomy and dark. Many scenes will be shot outside but we will have several indoor shots as well. The style of the song is alternative/ indie.

My boyfriend is going to be the main character and I am considering being the girl for the video, if that is possible. 

Locations: IUSB, downtown South Bend/Mishawaka, Makenzie's house.
