We start off with a long shot of the girl walking towards the camera, the girl is wearing a red long dress and has a bow in her hair to show that she is a small town girl so that the video will kind off match the lyrics which will help the audience understand the narrative, as she is getting on to the train there is a medium shot of her.
Next we do the same again with a long shot of the boy walking towards the camera however this time will be in the opposite direction, the boy will be dressed in a jacket and jeans and also wearing a necklace to make him look like a casual city boy,
As the girl gets off the train all you will see are her feet and then the camera will pan up towards her face and will follow as she goes and sits down on a bench, as the boy gets off the train you will only see his face and then the camera will pan down to his feet and follow as he makes his way to the same bench as the girls, as he walks past the girl there will be a point of view shot of him looking at the girl sitting down and vice versa so one will be a high angle and the other a low angle they will also be a medium close up shot focusing on their face to show the beginning of their relationship the way that they look at each other will immediately show the audience that there is some friction between them. Then the will be a two shot of both of them on the bench as they are facing different directions they will be shot from both sides, next there will be an over the shoulder shot of the boy looking at the girl and again vice versa, as the boy gets up and walks off the camera will also track with him and then pan to the girl at the end.
Next there will be a medium close up shot of the boy sitting in the cafe at that point there will be a flashback of when he first saw the girl so therefore it is important that we get a close shot of his face to see his expression to show that he is thinking about her. When the girl is waiting for her drink she is looking at the ceiling also day dreaming about the boy so there will be a close up shot of that. Once the boy is up and walking towards the exit we will have a medium shot so that we can see his eyes focusing on his phone, and as the girl gets her drink we will use the same shot to show the same situation as the both of them collide there will be a two shot and then a close up of the drink spilling down the girl. When they are sitting at the cafe chatting the will be a range of shots focusing on the two however the will be a couple of high angle shots focusing on each of their hands that are on the table nearing together as the conversation develops as well their feelings. So at the end of the conversation both of their hands will be touching.

INDIVIDUAL IDEA FOR POP PROMO (SYNOPSIS)
I think that are pop promo should include both performance and a narrative as variety is always good and more attractive 2 watch, these type of videos are also my favourite as they are more interesting and in the situation we are in with the band and the song it is the best suited for our promo. The song we have chosen is ‘Don’t stop believing’ by Journey, the song’s lyrics is a narrative itself about a boy and a girl therefore I believe are video will look good if it matched the lyrics at some point, however because our band are not well known it is also important we include the band in the video so it will build up their popularity as people will become familiar with them.
The video starts off with a girl getting on the train, then the next scene is off the boy getting on to a train is well, next we see both of the characters get off at the same place, the girl goes sits on a bench then the boy is going to go sit on the same bench as he is about to do so he walks past the girl and can’t help but look at here the girl is also doing the same they both stare at each other as he walks around her and sits on the other side of the bench, the period he is sitting down on they both exchanger a few more glances until finally the boy gets up and walks off but has a final look back at the girl.= as his walking off.
Next we see the boy in a cafe having a drink once his finished the girl arrives at the cafe and orders a drink, then the boy gets up and walks towards the exit looking at his phone just as the girl receives her drink she turns around to find a seat and they both collide making the girl spill the drink all over her, the boy apologizes and takes her to a table and sits her down while he goes and buys her another drink he also joins her, the two begin talking for a while and then end up leaving the cafe together, we see their relationship develop as they are sitting in the park talking, and then we see them walk in to the cinema, at the cinema they are cuddled up watching the film and by the end of the video they both spend the night together in a hotel.

JOURNEYS STAR CONSTRUCTION AND AUDIENCE
The band Journey were formed in 1973, journey had many concerts and tours they had many hits and many albums they were very successful, which allowed them to release an album with just there greatest hits. They have been known for three decades now and have become one of the biggest and one of the most successful bands ever.
When Journey first started I believe there audience was people of their age and in to soft rock music however as the years progressed and journeys popularity increased so has the audience age range. Journey have created some songs that will just stick in your head even if you don’t like the band or their genre of music there will still be a song that will just stay in your head and sooner or later you will learn to like them.

ANALYSIS OF JOURNEYS PHOTOS
These are some pictures of the band, the smaller picture was used in a press advert. I think the band are just represented as five normal guys here, they look like nice happy guys. They are dressed in normal clothes. These are just average pictures of the band I thinks its just for people to notice them.
I would say that from these pictures you can tell there are some elements that their genre of music is probably ‘soft’ rock. As there characteristics show this for example the long and bubbly hair, the leather jackets and their style overall.
I think they appeal to a soft rock audience is well, because there music isn’t exactly full on rock however has some features expected to be seen and heard in a rock song therefore I would classify this bands genre as ‘soft’ rock.
ANALYSIS OF JOURNEYS ALBUM COVERS
Above are some of journeys album covers, as you can see these album covers are very unique and are very rarely seen. They do not involve a picture of the band. They are all very mysterious and all in bright colours this could be how the company wanted to represent the group. Three of the covers have a bug with wings on it this could be there logo so when people see that logo they will recognize it has something to do with the band journey.
One of them has the bug with its wings around the earth this tells us that maybe the band want the whole world to listen to their music. Although these covers seem weird I still like them as they are different to all the other album covers this it is not something you expect to see therefore you remember it more as it sticks in your mind because its so unusual, the bright variety of colours and the weird pictures just make it more attractive to look at. However one of the down side is that there are no pictures of the band on any album covers so people will not be able to recognize the artists or know how they look like from the album.

RESEARCH CHOSEN BAND/ARTISTS PREVIOUS POP PROMOS
Journey- faithfully
This video starts off with the band on a coach travelling to one of their tours/ concerts, we see the coach driving on the road from different camera angles and then we see the band sleeping on a couch inside the coach. Then as the video progresses we see the band on stage performing the song to thousands of people, it also cuts to some scenes of the band messing about backstage in between their performance. I think this video is pretty simple and probably would have been relatively cheap to produce, I would say it is performance based video.
Journey- separate ways
This video is set in one place throughout the promo, the location is outside a garage. It starts off with the band pretending to play their instruments however there is nothing in there hands, then the instruments just appear in their hand, there is a also a young attractive women who walks past the band I believe that this is to apply a sexual gaze men. There are various different shots of the band and the women, there is one shot in particular which I liked it was a shot of the 4 band members all in a line but one was each one was a bit further back than the other it was a bizarre shot but also very interesting. This video is also performance based.
Journey- anyway you want it
The video starts off with a jukebox with all journey songs on it and you see a finger select the song which they are singing and that’s when the song starts I think this is very appealing way to start off the video. Afterwards the rest of the video just involved the band performing on the stage. So it’s another simple and probably cheap video for journey and again it is performance based.
