The document outlines Sam Smith's plans for an abstract, upbeat music video featuring club and rave footage. It will be shot indoors and outdoors using long and mid shots. Smith wants an edited video like examples shown, and lists crew roles and equipment. Concerns include no budget, limited to YouTube/word of mouth, and taking much spare time. Friends will be needed to help film and edit.

My Music video will be looking to go for a more visual abstract video design
rather due to the nature of music I like (dance), with an upbeat tempo. I would
also like to include some sort of footage of a rave or club scene within it.
Rules in creating my music video:
1. Good editing software such as after effects, Photoshopetc.
2. Extras will be needed such as friends to help in videoing and editing the final
product.
3. I will be shooting mostly indoors at clubs but may have the occasional
outdoor scene.
4. Masks will be needed as props. Shot types settings editing
5. I will be using mostly long shots and mid shots, but may occasionally use a
close-up if there is anything specific I want to show.
Here are examples of what I hope my finished music video will look like:
