So the overall idea that I have for this music video is to in the end send the message of unity and that nobody, no ethnicity, neither any race is alone. The overall summary of the music video is that the protagonist is going to work in the morning on the train however, instead of doing so, he actually ends up preaching unity on the streets.
Plot
As mentioned perviously, there will be a medium shot which will turn into a medium close up shot of the protagonist leaning forward in his chair on the tube, as this is occurring, there will be the sound of the train speeding up and slowing down. As he does this, the protagonist will put his earphones in and the song will begin to play. Furthermore, as the beginning of the song plays it will show the protagonist getting up and leaving the tube.
As soon as he exits the train station there will be the beat change in the song and it will become more upbeat, this will coincide with the sun shining down at him and representing a more positive emotion. At this point there will mainly be long shots of the protagonist. As the song appears to become more upbeat the camera will orbit the protagonist and show to the audience how happy he truly is. After this, there will be a cut to the protagonist walking through his neighbourhood. As he is doing this, there will be people looking round at him, giving dirty looks and wondering what on earth is wrong with him. Furthermore, throughout this, there will be a cut back to medium long shots until the words 'black is beautiful, be black and proud'. After these words are said, there will be some cuts to some darker race people who will repeat the quoted lyrics.
In the end of the song, there will be a sort of dance sequence where there will be many differently cultured people who will surround the protagonist and will be dancing and happy around him.
Media Language
The first shot will be a medium shot of the protagonist leaning forward in his seat on the train. Within the same scene, there will be a medium close up shot of him which will show his real emotion and how he's feeling. At this time, the protagonist will put his earphones in and it remain a medium close up.
The next part will be a tracking long shot of the protagonist walking out of the station, this will be from behind/ the back of his head.
Once he exits the train station, there will be an orbiting shot of the protagonist as he is outside the train station looking to the sky.
As the beat comes in and music changes, there will be a smooth transition onto the protagonist in a medium close up walking towards the camera as the camera is moving away from him and he is saying the lyrics in the song.
The next part will be a silhouette as it says "I just want to be free" with the sun in the background as I feel like it represents freedom.
