Today we are starting to plan what we will see step-by-step
in the music video so that we can draw the story board. We decided that at the chorus
when he says “my little bird” it will always show an image of birds.

2nd Treatment
Media treatment
A boy and girl is in a relationship but the boy finds out
that she is a secret alcoholic and so breaks up with her. During the breakup
the girl tries to change her ways and at the end of the video the boy and girl
get back together. Performance included in the music video would be the boy who
would be lip- singing in the video.
The music video will show the boy lip singing on a park
bench having flash backs of what happened in the relationship. The girl would
also be shown also having flashback’s on the relationship. At the end of the music video the boy goes to
the girl’s house and they get back together.
Conceptual elements included in the music video would be the
birds that would appear in the music video as the song is titled “little bird”
and so the bird would be a metaphor for the girl. Birds would be shown in the
music video by filming the boy and girl looking at different birds during the
music video e.g. when in the park the boy would be looking at a pound full of
swans , the girl would be alone in the house looking at some pigeons outside
her window.
Professional music videos that inspired us were the A-team
and Small Bump by Ed Sheeran and also “Breakeven” by The Script.
For our music video we would have to audition students of
performing arts as the music video includes allot of acting.
There are no ethical considerations when it comes to our group’s
music video.
The song is 3.44 seconds long; the music video would
probably run for 4 minutes.
The audience of the music video would be people who listen
to folk music.
Music video would appear on YouTube.
Audience feedback for treatment
The audience feedback we received from the treatment was that our group needed to be clearer on what would be seen on the music video. And also how possible was it to include birds in our music video. It was suggested that maybe we should get still images of birds and include it in our music video or go to a place where there is birds and film them instead of hoping that we would find birds in a park.
It was also brought up that the role of performance from the main artist needed to be clearer and that we needed to figure out how their performance would be linked into the main narrative in the music video.
Also in the audience feedback it was said that they like our group’s idea and that it matched what an Ed Sheeran video would be like as he tackles big issues.

Lyrics to Little Bird
Lyrics to Little Bird :
If we take this bird in,
with his broken leg,
we could nurse it, she said.
come inside for a little lie down with me,
if you fall asleep, it wouldn't be the worst thing.
but when i wake up,
your make up is on my shoulder,
and tell me if i lie down,
would you stay now, let me hold ya.
but if i kiss you,
will your mouth read this truth
darling how i miss you,
strawberry's taste how lips do,
and it's not complete yet,
mustn't get our feet wet,
cause that leads to regret,
diving in too soon.
and i'll owe it all to you,
my little bird.
...my little bird.
take a walk out, in the morning dew,
we could lay down, so i'm next to you,
and come inside for a little home made tea,
if you fall asleep then,
at least you're next to me.
and if i wake up,
go back to sleep.
i'm covered by nature,
and i'm safe now,
underneath this oak tree,
with you beside me.
but if i kiss you,
will your mouth read this truth
darling how i miss you,
strawberry's taste how lips do,
and it's not complete yet,
mustn't get our feet wet,
cause that leads to regret,
diving in too soon.
and i'll owe it all to you,
my little bird.
my little bird (3x)
and of all these things i'm sure of,
i'm not quite certain of your love.
and you make me scream,
but then i made you cry.
when i left that little bird,
with it's broken leg to die.
but if i kiss you,
will your mouth read this truth
darling how i miss you,
strawberry's taste how lips do,
and it's not complete yet,
mustn't get our feet wet,
cause that leads to regret,
diving in too soon.
but i'll owe it all to you,
my little bird.
my little bird (ooohh)
my little bird.
my little bird,
mmmmyy little bird,
you're my little bird.

Creative ideas
Today we have thought of the narrative idea and the themes
and motif for our music video. We decided that the themes would be heart break and alcohol
and that the main character in the music video would be a girl with a drinking
problem and that her drinking problem breaks up her relationship with her
boyfriend. The motif in our
music video would be a bird.
The boyfriend in our music video would be the music artist
and he would be the person lip-singing in the video.
As inspiration for our music video we have looked at The
A-team and Small Bump.

Creative ideas
Today my group we decided to use the song Little Bird by Ed
Sheeran as the song for our music video. We were thinking how the "little
bird" in the song is a metaphor for a girl that he had lost. So far we are
now looking at the song lyrics and annotating it to bring up some ideas for our
video.
