EXT. DAY. PARK.

Camera looking down an empty path and john comes around the corner and the camera. follows him walking.

John is walking down a path way in the middle of a park, it’s While he is walking he sways and is heavy on his feet.

John looks into one of the stores. His eyebrows raise and he freezes on the spot. He stumbles into the light.

EXT. DAY. BENCH

He walks in to and stops he staring over the bench. The camera starts to fade out.

Music starts playing after he walks off shot and is near the bench

John slowly walks up and down near the park bench, increasing with pace with each time he does is. 

Still not breaking eye contact the camera zooms out to reveal a girl is casual clothes and a demon jacket. The girl is staring at her phone.

John then gets up and walks uncontrollably toward the girl and sits down slowly next to her. The girl looks up from her phone and towards him. She lets of a sigh then moves to another bench.

john then gets up straight away and follows her to the next bench.

                      JOHN

                Girl, what's your problem
                'Cause I know it's hard sometimes, 

                baby just give it some time Oh honey 

                now girl, we can solve them If you just 

                give me some time I can open up your

                mind If you le-le-let it shine, you can

                free-ee-ee your mind 'Cause I know

john springs up and starts dancing in a random and spontaneous way with exaggerated movements. The girl is watching john dance. 

He slides into the seat next to her and she smiles.

                      JOHN

                Girl, if it's done right
                Well you know it's got to be,

                something wonderful to me
                Oh honey now girl, give it

                one night If you just give it

                a chance, loving you is not my

                plan 'Cause I know one day you'll

                see All the things that we can be

When the lyric “And now that's it's over I'll never be sober (I want to be the only one)” is said johns snaps his head forward and when the chorus begins john jumps up and starts to dance intensely as the music adds more bass to the music.

Camera cuts to the girl with a smile on her face while watching john while he’s dancing. John continues to dance but jumping from table to table all around. He gets to the table before the one the girl is sitting on and jumps off in front of her.

She jumps as he appears in front of her, but then continues to smile.

When the piano part starts playing john pretends to play the piano in the air in the same tune as if he can hear the song being played.

He makes the girl laugh and she starts to nod her head in time to his dancing

Towards the end of the song you have it fading out

G) Legal and Ethical

Legal & Ethical issues

In terms of photo shoot, this might be in terms of misrepresentation, copyright, royalties

LEGAL

In terms of legal issues, these tends to be about who owns the rights to something, or whether you are slandering (saying something about someone that is not true), or sometimes it can be a legal issue of making sure your content is not breaking the law (as in there is no suffering to animals depicted)

ETHICAL

Ethics are more of a minefield and there are certain ethical considerations that we have in the west that are important to understand. Ethics is about what society views as right.

Such as – is there a balance between male/female genders

If there are,  are these stereotypical roles (eg powerful  and strong male, weak female often dressed provocatively)

Is there swearing, are there weapons?

Southpark is controversial because a lot of people disapprove of its ethics. However, the producers might argue that it is for a small cult audience who are adult enough to know what is right and what is wrong.

What are the legal and ethical issues of your production and can you justify them?

(Delete rows or add to them as applicable)

LEGAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Copyright	As we do not own the song, we cannot release the video as our own. If we were to do so we would have to ask the owners of the song asking for permission, therefore it is justified.
Unaware people	As we will be filming in a public area, there will be people walking about, unaware they are being filmed. This can be resolved letting people know that they are on screen and if they give consent to it.
Actors consent	The actors we have have signed forms to say that they will take part in filming so it is solved.

ETHICAL

Issue	Solved or justified?
Alcoholism	In the video, our main character is drunk. at the beginning, he stumbles around. He is drunk as it is part of the video’s plot. The video does not condone alcoholism and and alcohol addiction.
Nonmaleficence	None of the actors in are video will do anything that could get them injured or hurt or do anything that could risk them getting hurt.
respect for the person	in the video we will have an actor that gets approached by a drunk man. if the actor isn't comfortable with some things in our scene we won’t make her so it. we will let our actor know what we need them to do before.

H) CERTIFICATE AND SCHEDULING
AGE RATING

I believe that the age rating for the music video should be a 12. This is because of the misuse of alcohol in the video. This is something that can’t be seen in PG videos due to the bad nature of this. According to the BBFC board the rating of the video should be a 12. It is not extreme enough to be a 15 as the topics are quite light and not frequent in the video. Topics include drug misuse which we do not use in the video, the character is seen slightly drunk and with a bottle of alcohol in his hands however he is not abusively drinking and does not condone drinking.
