FMP PLANNING

This is a rough storyboard I made that should
help with the writing of the script, it has the
general structure that I have in my head for
how I want this project to look, It has key
notes of certain songs I should look at trying to
use, It has a rough estimate of the run time of
the project, and it has an easy-to-read formula
that I can follow along while writing the script.
Doing it this way will make it easier for me to
know where abouts I am in the script writing
in case I forget after taking a break. I should
follow each section in order and give them the
same name that I gave them in the storyboard,
for consistencies sake.
After I've written the script, I can make a more
involved storyboard, knowing EXACTLY what
will be in each section, how it should look, and
what should be included.

The script

Introduction
(The opening is going to be a commentary track, and will also be the slowest point of the entire product)
People that make music have to be some of the most important people in the mainstream spotlight, they can influence, people follow them and
idolise them in an almost cultish fashion, the most famous people on the planet are pop stars, for better or worse.
(After this point the pace starts picking up, and we start getting into what the product is about)
(Switch to a talking head shot from here)
But what’s often overlooked, is how ‘the most famous people on the planet’ are treated. Now if there’s one thing that Taylor Swift and a small
band like Waterparks have in common, it’s that they have both had run ins with corrupt and shady record labels. Take these lyrics from the
Waterparks song, ‘Watch What Happens Next’ for example: (Play a few seconds of the song here, only use enough to back up my point)
And that’s just a small example, that most people wouldn’t even know about. In fact after doing some digging, I’ve found that a lot of people often
overlook how some of their favourite artists could be treated, this is common in the K-Pop community especially. Though more and more people
have started taking note in the last year or so.
So, to start off, Iet’s introduce some of the most famous, well known, and well documented examples of big artists fighting against their
record companies.
(Go into transition slide which introduces ‘Major Artist Mistreatment’ transition should last no longer than 7 seconds)

Major Artist Mistreatment
(start off with a commentary track)
Taylor Swift, she’s pretty unavoidable, you’ve without a doubt heard at least one of her endless hits. And as of recently you might have
heard about her ongoing and endless battle with her old record company, ‘Big Machine’.
Being one of the biggest acts of the 2010’s, the consensus would be that she’s in absolute and complete control of her discography.
Nope.
(Transition to a talking head shot)
At 15 years old Taylor signed a record deal with the label, Big Machine, known for signing some of the biggest pop stars at the
time, now keep in mind that at the time the label had a different CEO. It’s apparent that 15 year old Taylor didn’t read over her deal very
well at the time because a few years after the deal was made, she was begging for her to get the rights to her master recordings, despite
her being able to absolutely afford it.
This only got worse when the label got a new CEO, a man named ‘Scooter Braun’ and as soon as this transition occurred, Taylor didn’t let
her disappointment go unheard.
(Transition back to commentary)
She made claims that, in the past, Scooter had bullied her, and tried “dismantling her career”, in her own words, “This was her worst possible
case scenario” and even condemned her past actions (Show the quote of her saying she regrets signing a record deal at 15)
Big Machine wasn’t really doing much to make themselves look any better, since Taylor was set to win ‘Artist of the Decade’ at the 2019 AMA’s but the
label reached out and specifically told her that she wasn’t allowed to perform ANY of her older hits from when she was signed to the label, and to do
so would be a breach of agreement. Taylor leaked what the label specifically said in an interview later on: (Show this quote: "Scott Borchetta told
my team that they'll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs
next year (which is something I'm both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop
talking about him and Scooter Braun,")
(Transition back to talking head)
And then, on top of all of that, in 2020, Scooter Braun sold off Taylors entire discography for $300 million dollars, to a private company
called Shamrock Holdings, Taylor didn’t even get the option to buy her discography, in fact she didn’t even know the transaction happened
until the buyers reached out. The only way she could’ve gotten back her master recordings was if she signed an NDA (show what the
NDA was on screen)

As well as all that, there’s some smaller things like, the label trying to release a bunch of old live recordings without Taylor knowing about it, and trying
to cover up the release by making it seem like it was released in 2017, instead of 2020. Which of course Taylor responded to (show the quote found
in the research slide).
And that’s where the situation still is Today, Taylor is now fully independent, she’s recently started releasing re-recordings of her old works, and Big
Machine has now gone fully silent.
This is a recent example, but there's 2 older, very well-known and infamous examples of Artists fighting with their record labels: Prince,
and Michael Jackson, these 2 were both very vocal against their record labels, for good reasons.
(Switch back to Commentary)
Prince was fighting with his record labels from a very early point in his career, and was still going head to head with them in his later years.
Michael started his tirade against Sony Music quite late into his career and seemingly out of nowhere, though not without reason.
Prince’s main issue was with the ownership of his music, and how he felt like a slave to the music industry. He was seen in public a few times with the
word ‘Slave’ written across his face, he claimed this was because warner music owned and controlled any and all music that was released under the
‘Prince’ name, which is why he rebranded himself to ‘Symbol’, or ‘The Artist Formally Known as Prince’. Unable to break free from his contract until he
met a required amount of albums, he had a rapid run of releasing old demos, unreleased songs, and unfinished products in an attempt to break free
from warner as soon as possible.
Michael was more annoyed at the mistreatment of people of colour within in the music industry, specifically his own cases at Sony Music.
(Switch back to talking head)
In a now infamous speech where he was supposed to be campaigning for artists rights Michael went straight after a man
named ‘Tommy Mollata’ who was the companies CEO, Jackson made claims that he heard Tommy once use the N word to refer to a someone
that worked at Sony, Jackson went as far as to call Tommy “Tommy as "mean ... a racist ... and very, very, very devilish.” (Show some
pictures of MJ holding up signs in protest against Sony)
Keep in mind that a year prior, Michael showed up to a fan event and gave yet another speech where he claimed that he had generated
billions of dollars, yet he hadn’t seen anywhere near that amount in returns.
Something both Prince and MJ have in common is that they were both fighting for a more fair landscape in the music industry, much like what
Taylor Swift is doing in todays landscape.

Prince wanted the people that made the music to own it, and decide what to do with it, he went on multiple interview talk shows to come down on this point. (Show a clip of
a Prince interview)
And MJ wanted to fight, not just for the artists and for them to be treated fairly, but also for people of colour within the industry as he had first hand experience with the issue
and even claimed that “Every single artist that works with Sony, especially the black ones, were sad miserable, and often times, overworked.”
And they were both very vocal about it.
So, let's look at what MJ was campaigning for within the industry, and see where that salutation is today.
(Transition into Racism in the industry)
(Start with a talking head shot)
Racial tensions a lot of artists in the industry face is nothing new, we’ve seen a countless number of songs written about the subject, within very good reason.
(play Changes, by Pac)
The crooks of the music industry was pretty much built by people of colour, think old school hip-hop, jazz, and early rock going back to the blues. It’s the reason people
like Elvis and Eminem started out so controversial, they were white people, in a predominantly black genre. (play Without Me by Eminem)
Some of the first wildly mainstream acts in music were people of colour, but that never stopped them from being, underpaid, mistreated, mismanaged, and misrepresented.
Even today.
(Switch to commentary)
You’ve heard this song. A lot. And I think it’s fair to assume that it’s a country song? It even features a country artist. Well, the genre says no. Historically known for being a
white genre, billboard decided to carry on that trend when it took Old Town Road off the top spot in the country charts, because it doesn’t “embrace enough elements of
today’s country music”. Despite the previous labelling of the song, and the entire aesthetic surrounding it.
This doesn’t make country as a whole look any better either, in 2018 the ‘end of year country list’ featured only 5 tracks that were led by people of colour, and 3 of those
songs were by the same biracial artist, Kane Brown. If we compare this to the ‘hot 100’ end of year list, more than half of it was dominated by black artists, being either
vocal leads or features, that is a massive difference.
And when the song skyrocketed to the top of the charts, there were signs up in Nashville, only congratulating Billy Ray Cirus on the feat, Lil Nas X isn’t even mentioned.
Not the first time an instance like this has happened either, in 2017 the Beyonce song ‘Daddy Lessons’ was shut out of all country categories. Country is apparently known
for having inclusion problems like this, The New York times say that both women and people of colour are often shut out of the genre, which is very damaging when you
consider that country actually takes up the largest radio audience in America. ("favoured by 15% of total listeners (compared to the 10.6% who tune into news and
8% who listen to Top 40 stations).")
(Switch to talking head shot)
2020 was a very rough year and will be remembered for a lot of reasons, one of the biggest will be the spark of the racial tensions, which was spanned globally.

In an article, rolling stone magazine says that racism is wealthy white executives profiting off of black artists, while those same artists don’t get nearly
enough of the shares, ("These concern the wildly uneven contracts that continue to earn the music business millions of dollars while
passing on only a small amount of that wealth to artists, the myriad techniques a music industry run predominantly by rich white
executives uses to profit off black art")
All of this is backed up with the fact that racism has been kind of baked into the industry for example, the name ‘R&B’ is a replacement for the old
name of the genre ‘race music’. On top of that you have the charts themselves, which are often separated by race, with white artists over on the,
Rock, Country, and Pop charts, and people of colour over on the Rap, and R&B side. On a similar side, some industry insiders revealed to rolling
stones, that black executives remain concentrated in what the industry calls 'urban' departments, which only focus on R&B and Rap, while the white
executives are free to move around any genre they want, when they want.
There’s so much more backstory and history of mistreatment within the music industry when it comes to mistreatment of black people, while it’s gotten
better in some regards, not much has changed with the higherups.
Even at important events the people in power don’t do much to hide a bias against foreign acts, with something like the Grammy's never include K-
Pop acts like BTS, despite them selling twice as many albums as most western artists.
And with that in mind, the K-Pop industry isn’t short of it’s mistreatments either, especially when it comes to their record labels, and while a lot of it
isn’t very well documented, there are still some really important talking points that more people should be aware of.
Transition to abuses in the K-Pop industry)
(continue with commentary track)
It’s one of the most popular things on the planet, it’s hard to log onto any social platform and not see something that’s connected to K-Pop in
some way.
Since it’s gotten bigger, though, more and more things have come out concerning that side of the industry, that are concerning.
Their contracts, for example are about as extreme as you can get. Revealed to be dehumanising and abusive, the term ‘Slave Contracts’ was
coined to describe them.
A former K-Pop star called ‘Prince Mak’ came forward in an interview with CBS, to go into some detail on what a slave contract actually is. He
says that the mega famous groups like BTS, or NCT don’t have to worry too much about these contracts since they already pull in more than
enough money for record labels, so they have as much creative freedom as they like.
The ones that do have to worry and are affected by these contracts, are the smaller, lesser-known K-Pop acts. Mak says that they have extremely
strict diets, they can't date, and they always work over 18-hour days, a lot of the time going over 20 hours, and these groups MUST do what the
labels tell them to do, or they'll be left with nothing, and most times they're doing all this work for free, they get nothing.
The slavery aspect comes from the fact that when these lesser-known acts sign a contract, they basically sell away their free will for the next 7-
15 years and on top of that, the contracts don’t even start until the artists debut, which normally happens after roughly 10 years of training and

(Switch to talking head)
And during all this time, the studio heads receive all the profits, the actual artists, get nothing. In an interview with the website ‘allkpop’ the girl group
“Steller” told their story and rise to fame, where they revealed that all the members often had to share one meal amongst themselves because
they couldn’t afford anything else. "it was a difficult situation to the point that we'd have to share one order of food among all of us"
All of this isn’t to mention the amount of mental abuse these K-Pop acts have to go through, with all their beauty standards, and the fact that if they
were to mess up an act, no matter how insignificant, they’ll get punished for it. Mental health is looked down on often in the industry, and is
something people have only taken note of, up until recently, people weren’t taking idols mental health seriously.
Marian Chu, who is close to the industry, described the mental health issue the best in an interview here, “The stigma surrounding mental
illness is so strong that saying ‘I struggle with a mental health issue’ is equal to saying, ‘Please ridicule and ostracize me.'”
The female idols are often treated much worse in the K-Pop industry to, being bullied more often, and sometimes being exploited by the higher ups
in their label. This isn’t just an issue in the K-Pop industry though, sexism is all over the industry and is far from uncommon in western labels too.
(Transition to sexism in music)
Song playing in the background will be ‘The Man’ by Taylor Swift
(Carry on with talking head)
In a lot of aspects, men have less to worry about then women do. This is true especially in the music industry. Going back to K-pop, a male K-
Pop start could get away with wearing a wrong outfit, or mixing something up. If a female were to do any of that, though, then her career could be
over in a heartbeat, that’s because of the insane amount of expectations set on the female idols.
The K-Pop idol “Hurt” gave a quote to describe what it’s like to be a female K-Pop star. “You can be a top star, but they’ll come after you with
pitchforks. These women are stars, yet society is stacked against them. When police are coming at you, turning a victim into victimiser,
it seems like a man can attack a female idol who has top lawyers and a big entertainment company behind her and still he has more
protection.” This was backed up later on when a different K-Pop idol who remained anonymous gave a brief interview and said, “police and
the authorities tried to protect those who have power and conceal crimes,”.
There’s been cases of higher CEO’s abusing their female workers and not facing any consequences for their actions, or if they do get sent to jail,
then it’s only for a few months at most.

Back over in the western labels, things aren’t much better. In 2019 Taylor Swift did an interview with CNBC where she mentioned the first time
that she started to notice sexism in the music industry. It was when she grew up, she never noticed it as a teenager, because the higher ups
most likely saw her as they saw their nieces or daughters, a young teenage girl that had a few hit songs to her name. But as she got older and
started to sell out arenas, she started getting treated differently by the men in the higher up positions, as already proven. “Then I realized
that was because I was a kid. Men in the industry saw me as a kid. I was a lanky, scrawny, overexcited young girl who reminded
them more of their little niece or their daughter" “But the second it becomes formidable? As soon as I started playing stadiums —
when I started to look like a woman — that wasn’t as cool anymore.”
Not just Taylor, Kesha has a well known battle going on with her label right now, and the situation is a good summary of what a lot of women in
the industry go through in similar fashions. In 2014 she sued a former mentor of hers, Lukasz Gottwald, with claims that he'd abused her
sexually, mentally, and emotionally, until the point that she nearly lost her life.
The goal of this suit was Kesha trying to break herself free from her contract with Luke’s label. Which would allow her to walk freely among
other labels and to “get free from her abuser” The court date came around and in the end, it went in Luke’s favour, though people didn’t let
their voices go unheard. Fans got the hashtag “#IStandWithKesha” trending worldwide as soon as the news of the court rulings were
announced. Other female artists spoke up in defence of Kesha, and Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to help with Kesha’s financial situation.
and Adele dedicated her Brit award for best solo female act to her, while also acknowledging the problems faced by other female stars by
thanking her record label ‘for embracing the fact that I’m a woman’.
The outpouring of support here shows how big of an issue this is, as every women that came out in support of Kesha has also had some kind
of sexist experience within the industry.
Singer/songwriter, ‘Lauren Aquilina’ recently came forward and gave her perspective on what it’s like to be a female in the industry, and that
they need a lot more representation. As a young female artist, she's felt patronised over her writing style, and has felt a constant pressure to
change because of the men in the industry. This has something to do with the fact that only 13% of well-known song writers are actually
female, which isn’t that large when you consider there’s 95,000 people in that side of the industry, that’s only 12,350.

(Switch back to talking head)
The music industry has a lot of issues, all of these are just a few instances that stand out, and represent something a
disturbing amount of artists go through. These situations are looked past too often because people don’t want to disrupt the
flow of music from their favourite artists, a lot of people just do not care about the wellbeing of these people.
It’s clear the music industry needs a complete overhaul in a lot of different sections, but it’s hard to say if that’s going to
happen any time soon, because it’s just way too profitable as it stands. Still, that isn’t stopping fans from letting their voices
being heard, if anything they’ve been getting louder with the rise of ‘Stan’ culture over the last few years, and with more
artists going independent like Taylor Swift the higher ups in the industry aren’t making as much money as they used to, so it
might not be unlikely that we do see a change in the music industry within our lifetime.

Videos, Songs, Clips, and Websites.
This is a collection of all the visual representation, and sources, that I'll
be using throughout the product, there will be some repeating clips
and songs, which is why something might show up more than once.
I plan on using most of these, though some will be left out as I've
included them as a backup video, if lose the one that I want to use as
my first choice, or it gets corrupted.
The websites will be screen recorded and edited in after effects so that
they aren't completely flat and boring, the videos will played over a
background, this will help add a visual flare and makes the videos pop
out more, and the songs will be used as background music, transition
music, and they'll be used as examples in some segments.

This is the second and final storyboard that I've planned out. This one
builds off of the script that was built off the first storyboard, I estimated
the time by looking at how many words were in each individual segment
and then looking up how long it would take on average, to say them.
I broke down what I want each segment to be, I made it clear when I want
there to be a talking head shot, and when I want there to be a
commentary track, for the most part in each segment, they're split 50/50.
I never said exactly what I want to be on the screen at all times, because I
already have all the images collected and set out in a specific order ready
to be used, the storyboard wouldn't have helped with that.
I decided to leave out the transition screens here too, I already talked
about them in enough detail in the first storyboard, and I've written them
into the script, so I know when I'll need them.
Overall I tried to make it as clear as possible what I want this project to be
layed out like based on the the script, and the 2 storyboards, so I have the
structure set, I also know now roughly how long the product will last,
though I will try and aim to make it shorter, when shooting and editing.

Talking Head Shots (1, 2, 3)
These are the 3 talking head shots that I talk about in the
second storyboard. In one of them I'm stood up, and the
other 2 I'm sat down. Generally, I'm going to try and get the
lighting more like the top 2 as opossed to the 3rd one which
might come out being a bit too bright. Light can leak through
much easier in the third one too, so there won't be as much
movement as the others.
Out of the 3 I think the second one has the perfect blend of
colours and brightness, so I'm going to replicate that on all
three shots in the final product.
I can only shoot during the day, because if I were to shoot
any of these at night, then the focus on the camera would
be all over the place and it might not recognise that I was in
front of the camera, the lighting looks the best during the
day too.
I've also shot these with a setting on my camera that makes
me the main focus on screen, the background is blurred
behind me, not too much because I still want the audience
to see what's happening behind me, but it's just enough that
makes the effect obvious, and makes me stand out.
The blurriness of the background will make it easier for me
to add any smaller pictures on the screen that I might need
for visual rep too.
To get the lighting right, I'm using a mix of blue LED lights,
slowly changing lights on my TV screen, a looping video on
my PC moniter, and of course natural light coming through
my window with the blind about half way down.

Examples of commentary videos.

Examples of commentary videos.
• These 4 videos are an example of what will be playing on screen when there's a segment with a
commentary track, there's going to be certain clips and pictures up on the screen for visual
representation, but when there isn't these are what's going to be playing instead, there's never a
still image, if it's an album cover I'll rotate it into another album cover, and if it's a still image of a
person then I'll edit them to move in Adobe After Effects, I never want a still image on the screen
when there doesn't need to be. The pacing of each video will match with the pacing of the
commentary, I don't want there to be a slow-moving video if I'm talking in a quicker pace, it
makes the video and audio feel disconnected, so I'll also have to make sure that the background
music fits both the commentary, and the video as well. The 4 that I've used as this example will all
most likely be used in the slower moments of the commentary. I'll need to make at least 4 for
each segment two for slower paced moments, and two for quicker moments.
• I made these 4 shortly after finishing the script, and I do plan on including them in some way in
the final product, they won't be the only ones like this, though, I made these in the space of
about 3 hours, so I'll need to dedicate a day or two to getting all the others finished, this will be
done during the production schedule.
• All the videos like this will feature, moving images that would otherwise be still, rotating album
covers with videos playing in the background, or moving images with added assets in either
Adobe After Effects or Photoshop, I want to try to create an explosive effect coming from the
focus of the image with the assets being the 'debris ', of course everything on those images will
be moving.
