Assignment title
IG2 – MUSIC VIDEO PLANNING
The purpose of this assignment is to:
Enhance your organisational skills by planning the production of your music video.
Scenario
All media productions need planning. This process is referred to as pre-production. Pre-production is
essential when realising your product and helps media producers to visualise and develop initial ideas. Preproduction is much more than simply writing a script and storyboarding and requires both a methodical
and creative approach to planning tasks. Communication is essential when planning a production and you
will need to ensure that your production team meets regularly to provide updates on pre-production tasks
that are completed and outstanding. As part of your pre-production evidence, you must keep a record of
meetings that take place and any decisions made and agreed on by your production team.
You have already produced individual proposals, treatments and draft scripts. As a production team, you
must decide which proposal and script draft you will further develop and plan. Further development of
your chosen script will be decided through regular production team meetings.
For this assignment you must research and assign production roles and produce pre-production
documentation. You will be required to develop your chosen script, producing further draft scripts and a
final draft which will be pre-visualised through pre-production planning. Your group must also produce
detailed storyboards and production planning documentation in preparation for the production phase of
your music video.
