The document provides planning information for filming a music video, including visual planning, pre-production tasks, and organizational planning. It outlines pre-visualization concepts, storyboarding, and shot listing. It also includes a production group contact table and initial location information, noting permission to use a home office space and potential dog interference issues. A college backup location is also proposed.
3. Pre-Production: Visual Planning
• This section is concerned with the visual planning of your music video
• You should use this section to develop the sequencing or your video,
establish the relationship between the visuals and the track itself and
create a structure for you to follow when filming
• It is important that you ‘pre-visualise’ the video before you make it; it
will make filming and production a more streamlined process
• The following tasks are part of your visual planning
• Pre-visualisation and concept boards
• Storyboarding
• Shot list
4. Pre-visualisation/Concept Boards
• Tool for exploring the direction and visuals
• Provides inspiration and information for the “look & feel”
• Presents key moments in your video
• A means to sketch/plan ideas
• Information on colour/lighting
• Defining the “mise-en-scene”
• Include as much here as you like, but keep it relevant to the
production, the following slides have been left blank for you to
approach in your own way, add more as you need to
• Extension suggestion: edit a short sequence of clips that have
inspired or influenced your video [similar to this:

games-might-be-better-than-the-real-movie]
5. • There will be bits of the background
which are red to give the impressions
listed beside
• Items of the actors clothing will be
black and facial expressions will
replicate the serious sophisticated look
that black provides.
• Wealth is a common theme in hip-hop
music videos so the use of the color
green only adds to this impression
which is given throughout most of the
hip-hop music videos.
1
Energy, life, power,
passionate, courageous,
aggressive, impulsive
Serious, sophisticated,
sharpness, power,
authority
2
3
Inexperienced, wealthy,
jealous, balanced,
traditional.
6. Structural breakdown
• Breakdown your track into it basic sections [e.g. intro, verse, chorus,
verse, etc] and apply broad visual ideas to each section
• You can use this as the master template for your production, then
add more shots to each section when you develop your full visual
plan
7. [Intro: Joyner Lucas]
Whoa, Joyner, Joyner, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge: Joyner Lucas]
Yeah, I done did a lot of things in my day, I admit it
I don't take back what I say, if I said it then I meant it
All my life I want a Grammy, but I'll prolly never get it
I ain't never had no trophy or no motherfuckin' ribbon
(Yah I said it)
Fuck the system, I'm that nigga, bend the law, cut the
rules
I'm about to risk it all, I ain't got too much to lose
Y'all been eatin' long enough, it's my turn to cut the
food
Pass the plate! Where my drink? This my day, lucky
you
Fuck you too, woo!
[Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
Y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move
Give me some room, give me some room, give me
the juice
Hop out the coupe, hop out the coupe, hop out and
shoot
Y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, give me the juice
The "actor" representing Joyner is
on the screen and Eminem is
nowhere to be seen. Moving about
the screen with a ribbon (when
mentioned), smash plate where
plate mentioned.
Dancing around
8. [Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
Back on my bullshit, my back to the wall
Turn my back on you, all of you finished
Back to these bullets, it's back to the job
Pull my MAC out and all of you runnin'
Back on my hood shit, it's back to the pushin'
These packs and I'm actually pumpin'
Can't fuck with you rappers, you practically suckin'
You mighta went platinum but that don't mean nothin'
I'm actually buzzin' this time
Straight out the kitchen, I told 'em the oven is mine
I do not fuck with you guys
If I don't kill you, just know you gon' suffer this time
I ain't no gangster but I got some bangers
Some chains and some blades and a couple of nines
Choppers and jammies, a partridge, a pear tree
My twelve days of Christmas was nothin' but lies
I run at you hard like a sumo (Sumo)
They say I talk like a chulo (Chulo)
I live in Mars, I'm not Bruno (Woo)
Bitch I'm a dog, call me Cujo (Rah)
You play your cards, I reverse on you all
And I might just draw 4 like a Uno (Bup)
Cállate boca mejor, maricón, little puto, and all of you culo
(Joyner)
They've invented a level up in the ghetto to get old
Lookin' for somethin' I prolly can never find now
Shit get relevant 'til 'nother beef die down
In truth a nigga just really want me tied down
I've been alone and I never needed nobody
Just only me and my shotty, I'll tell these niggas to lie down
Keep all the money, I never wanted the lifestyle
I just pray to God that my son'll be alright now
I said ain't no love for the other side
Or anyone who ever want smoke (Joyner)
When I die I'm goin' out as a underdog who never lost
hope (Yeah)
You in the wrong cab down the wrong path
Nigga, wrong way, wrong road (Woo, woo)
Snakes in the grass tryna slither fast
The actor representing Joyner takes up the
majority of the shot and at the end of the verse
Eminem enters the shot. At the back, blurred in
the background but noticable.
9. [Bridge: Eminem]
I done said a lotta things in my day, I admit it
This is payback in a way, I regret it that I did
it
I done won a couple Grammys, but I sold my
soul to get 'em
Wasn't in it for the trophies, just the fuckin'
recognition
Fuck's the difference?
I'm that cracker, bend the law, fuck the rules
Man I used to risk it all, now I got too much to
lose
I've been eatin' long enough, man my
stomach should be full
I just ate, licked the plate, my buffet, lucky
me
Fuck you think? (Woo!)
The majority of the shot is taken up by the
actor representing Eminem, with Joyner
in the background, blurred out slightly to
draw the viewers focus and attention onto
Eminem.
10. [Verse 2: Eminem]
I got a couple of mansions
Still I don't have any manners
You got a couple of ghost writers
But to these kids it don't actually matter
They're askin' me, "What the fuck happened to hip-hop?"
I said, "I don't have any answers."
'Cause I took an L when I dropped my last album
It hurt me like hell but I'm back on these rappers
And actually comin' from humble beginnings
I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning
I wish I could say, "What a wonderful feeling!"
"We're on the upswing like we're punchin' the ceiling!"
But nothin' is feeling like anyone has any fuckin' ability
To even stick to a subject, it's killin' me
The inability to pen humility
Ha-ta-ta ba-ta-ta, why don't we make a bunch of
Fuckin' songs about nothin' and mumble 'em?
Fuck it, I'm goin' for the jugular
Shit is a circus, you clowns that are comin' up
Don't give an ounce of a motherfuck
About the ones that were here before you that made rap
Let's recap, way back, MC's that wreak havoc on tape decks
ADAT's, where the G Raps and Kanes at?
We need 3 Stacks ASAP and bring Masta Ace back
'Cause half of these rappers have brain damage
All the lean rappin', face tats, syruped out like tree sap
I don't hate trap, and I don't wanna seem mad
But in fact, where the old me at? The same cat
That would take that feedback and aim back, I need that
But I think it's inevitable
They know what button to press or what lever to pull
To get me to snap though (Lil' bitch)
And if I pay it attention I'm probably makin' it bigger
But you've been takin' ya dicks in the fuckin' back, ho (Get it?)
On the brink, any minute got me thinkin' of finishin'
Everything with acetaminophen and reapin' the benefits
I'm asleep at the wheel again
As I peak into thinkin' about an evil intent
Of another beat I'ma kill again
'Cause even if I gotta end up eatin' a pill again
Even ketamine or methamphetamine with the minithin
It better be at least 70 to 300 milligram
And I might as well 'cause I'ma end up bein' a villain again
Levels to this shit, I got an elevator
You could never say to me I'm not a fuckin' record breaker
I sound like a broken record every time I break a record
Nobody could ever take away the legacy I made, I never cater
Motherfucker, now I got a right to be this way
I got spite inside my DNA
But I wrote 'til the wheels fall off, I'm workin' tirelessly, ayy
It's the moment y'all been waitin' for
Like California wishin' rain to pour
In that drought, y'all been prayin' for
My downfall from the 8 Mile to the Southpaw
Still the same Marshall, that outlaw
That they say as a writer might've fell off
I'm back on that bull like the cowboy
Going from really close headshots to mid shots further
back, moving around using arms to emphasize the words
and what's being said
11. [Chorus: Joyner Lucas & Eminem]
So y'all gotta move (Yeah), y'all gotta
move (Yeah), y'all gotta move
Give me some room, give me some room,
give me the juice
Hop out the coupe, hop out the coupe,
hop out and shoot
Y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, give me
the juice
Stop dancing and moving
around
Fade to black

14. Storyboarding
• Your storyboard should bring your idea to life
• Provide an idea of the sequencing of you video
• Provides a basis for production
• Suggested online storyboard creators are:
• https://www.storyboardthat.com
• http://www.pixton.com [very complicated]
• http://www.storyjumper.com [allows you to insert your own images]
• Alternatively, hand draw or photograph your storyboard and scan or
copy to insert it onto your slides
• There are lots of tips collected together on Blackboard!

19. Location information
• Information and images of your location[s] for filming
• You should have address details, clearance/permissions for filming,
recce photos and floorplans [including camera, equipment and
cast/crew layouts]
• Where possible, have a plan B fallback location option
• Assess each location for any issues and suggest solutions
20. Initial location
• I got my dad's permission to turn the "office" into a studio for a
couple weeks so we could set up the green screen setup and softbox
lighting.
• Equipment is all my own which has gathered up over the years
around the house but would include tripod, Canon camera,
softboxes, greenscreen etc.
• There is a high chance of the dog getting in the way of some of the
shots and all the equipment getting absolutely covered in dog hair,
the solution, there isn't really a solution other than locking the dog
out the room or outside or filming whilst he is on a walk.
21. Plan B
• My backup location was at college. Which is easy considering I am in
college from 8:45-4:30 from Tuesday through Friday, so I would have
more than enough time to be able to film at college.
• Depending on circumstances, equipment could be my own from
home or borrowed from college and would again include tripod and
camera
