Production Treatment

The Music Video

The song we are performing is 'End Credits' by Chase & Status.

Duration

The piece lasts 3 minutes and 31 seconds.

Audience

This piece is aimed towards the drum and bass genre of audience as the heavy bass behind the lyrics, and also the different points in the music where it 'drops' and the beats and bass take a hold of the song. You are likely to hear this song not only in the charts, but also at raves, parties, gigs because it is renowned as a crowd pleaser as the tempo gets everyone into 'party mode'. This song would definitely not appeal to an age range over 30 as the link to this music is still fresh/ up and coming. It's mainly aimed towards 17-25 males because of the intensity it brings and the places it would be played.

Resume

The narrative element of the song is about the protagonist dying, it talks about when he is dying he is convincing himself that he's on his 'way to heavens door', the reality of his life though if what we are showing also which is the ironic part as he is destructive and abusive, everything he needs to be sent to hell instead in theory. In different parts of the song there are what are called 'drops' where the lyrical/narrative sense leaves the song and the bass kicks in. This will be incorporated into our music video by the use of cuts and motions by the characters/performers. Overall the audience should expect to see a narrative piece with performance running throughout it, it will have many fast paced elements such as cuts to reflect the tempo and shall be exciting/interesting to watch.
