2. 1. WHAT IS YOUR VIDEO ABOUT AND HOW
WILL IT LOOK ?
• MY VIDEO TITLED ‘SUMMER’ IS ABOUT A GIRL THAT HAS A DREAM ABOUT
LEAVING HER BOYFRIEND AND HAVING THE TIME OF HER LIFE AND EVENTUALLY
WAKES UP AT THE END AND IS QUITE SHOCKED ABOUT THE WHOLE EPISODE. MY
VIDEO IS QUITE SIMPLISTIC AND LACKS DEEP NARRATIVE. BUT I HAVE DONE THIS
BECAUSE IT’S WHAT MY TARGET AUDIENCE WILL LIKE TO SEE. IT WILL FEATURE
VARIOUS PARTYING SCENES TO STICK CLOSE TO THE CODES AND CONVENTIONS
OF DANCE-POP. IT WILL BE EDITED VERY QUICKLY WITH MAJORITY OF THE
SHOTS UNDER 2 SECONDS. THIS IS DONE SO THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT
AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE TARGET AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION.

3. 2. WHAT’S THE NAME OF YOUR INVENTED
ARTIST AND ALBUM ?
• THE NAME OF MY INVENTED ARTIST IS ’MATT SMITH’ I PICKED THIS NAME AFTER
I RESEARCHED DANCE-POP DJ’S NAMES. WHAT I FOUND FROM MY RESEARCH
WAS THAT DJ’S USE REALLY GENERIC NAME AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT’S
THEIR ACTUAL NAMES. SO I TRIED TO PICK A REALLY BASIC NAME AND CAME UP
WITH MATT SMITH.
• THE NAME OF MY ALBUM IS CALLED ‘OVERLOAD’ I PICKED THIS NAME BECAUSE I
FEEL IT DESCRIBES THE WHOLE GENRE. DANCE-POP IS BASICALLY ABOUT
OVERLOADING ON FUN.

4. 3. DESCRIBE YOUR KEY LOCATIONS.
• THE LOCATIONS I’M PLANNING ON USING ARE WYCLIFFE HALL, THE CROSS COUNTRY MOUNTAINS,
THE BERRYFIELD, LOOSLEY COMMON ROOM AND A HOUSE BEDROOM.
• WYCLIFFE HALL WILL BE MY CLUB WHERE THE PARTY SCENE IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE. I’M PLANNING
TO FILM IN NOVEMBER, BUT I HAVEN’T PICKED AN EXACT DATE.
• THE BERRYFIELD IS WHERE THE BIKE RIDING IS MEANT TO TAKE PLACE AND I’M PLANNING ON
FILMING ON SATURDAY THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER IN THE AFTERNOON.
• LOOSLEY COMMON ROOM WILL REPRESENT THE LIVING ROOM OF THE COUPLES HOUSE I’M
PLANNING ON DOING THIS ON THURSDAY THE 3RD OF NOVEMBER, IN THE EVENING.
• I PLAN TO USE A BEDROOM IN MY SHOOTING, CURRENTLY THE HOUSE BEDS ARE TOO SMALL FOR
THE PICTURE I WANT MY VIDEO TO HAVE. THEREFORE I’M CURRENTLY STILL LOOKING FOR A
BEDROOM TO USE.

5. 4. WHAT ARE YOUR ACTORS AND THEIR
AVALABILITY
• I HAVE 3 MAIN ACTORS IN MY MUSIC VIDEO.
• THE COUPLE WILL BE PLAYED BY SERGEY ZAPRUDIN AND OLIVIA OUTERBRIDGE.
THEY ARE IN YEAR 12 THERERORE ARENT AS BUSY AND HAVE BOTH ASSURED ME
I SHOULD TELL THEM WHEN THEY’RE NEEDED AND THEY’LL DO THEIR BEST TO
PLAN AROUND MY SCHEDULE.
• THE DJ MATT SMITH, WILL BE PLAYED BY SEUN SOMOYE WHO IS ALSO IN YEAR
12 AND HAS REALLY GOOD AVAILABILITY AS I’M FILMING IN SCHOOL (AND THEY
ALL GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL)

6. 5. WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL YOU NEED?
• FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO, I WILL NEED A CAMERA, A CHARGER AND 2 BATTERIES, 2 OR
MORE SD CARDS, A TRIPOD, A TRACK (IF AVAILABLE) AN 50 MM PRIME LENS.
• I WILL NEED THE CAMERA FOR MY GENERAL SHOOTING OF THE VIDEO, THE SD CARD
FOR A MEANS OF STORING MY FOOTAGE I WILL NEED 2 OR MORE SO IF THE SPACE
GETS FULL I WOULDN'T HAVE TO STOP SHOOTING. I WILL NEED THE CHARGER AND
EXTRA BATTERY SO IF THE BATTERY I’M USING DIES OR IS RUNNING LOW I CAN PUT
IN THE CHARGED ONE AND CHARGE THE LOW ONE WITHOUT STOPPING SHOOTING
COMPLETELY. I WILL NEED A TRIPOD TO STABILISE MY SHOTS AND MAKE THEM
LOOK PROFESSIONAL BY KEEPING THEM STABLE. A TRACK WILL BE VERY USEFUL FOR
MOVING SHOTS BECAUSE YOU’D HAVE TO MANUALLY MOVE A TRIPOD. LAST BUT
PROBABLY NOT THE LEAST, A 50 MM PRIME LENS WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL IN
SHOTS WHERE I NEED TO CHANGE THE DEPTH OF FIELD OF THINGS IN THE FRAME.

7. 6. WHAT PROPS WILL YOU NEED AND WHERE
WOULD YOU GET THEM ?
• FOR MY MUSIC VIDEO I WILL NEED, A SHIMMER CURTAIN, PARTY POPPERS,
SPARKLERS, SMOKE BOMBS, BICYCLES 2 OR MORE, A PACK OF CARDS, SHOT
GLASSES, WATER BALLOONS AND A BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL.
• I BOUGHT THE SHIMMER CURTAIN, SPARKLERS, PARTY POPPERS, SMOKE BOMBS
AND PLASTIC SHOT GLASSES FROM AN ONLINE SHOPPING PLATFORM CALLED
AMAZON. IN MY HOUSE IN SCHOOL WE HAVE A PACK OF CARDS IN THE
COMMON ROOM WHICH I WILL BORROW FOR THE SHOT. IN MY SCHOOL WE
ALSO HAVE BICYCLES WE CAN BORROW FOR USE. SINCE I’M OF AGE I CAN GET
AN ALCOHOL BOTTLE FOR THE SHOT IT APPEARS IN. I WILL GET IT AT THE
SUPERMARKET CLOSE TO MY SCHOOL.
