2. GUIDANCE
This template PowerPoint presentation includes all the
relevant elements you need to cover in your Music Video
Assignment 02
It is suggested you save this PP in a different name and
share it with your group so you always have a copy –
some sections require you to delete the information on
the slide and replace with your own work
Add more pages to each section where necessary [you
should be doing this!]
Add visuals as you see necessary
This document will be added to as you progress through
the pre-production phase.
4. RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
Select a song/track that you like [or don’t like!]
Generate three ideas for music videos employing styles,
techniques and conventions that we have looked at in
previous sessions. Explore how you could interpret the
song differently using different methods
You can add any extra info you think is relevant, images,
mind maps, etc
For quick mind maps you could use bubbl.us to generate
these
5.
6. RESEARCH
Watch a selection of videos to get your ideas started,
make note of a minimum of 5 – add extra slides,
screenshot the video and in bullet point note down info
in terms of camera, editing, art design, performance, etc
and how this might link to your production
7. RESEARCH 1
Stock Footage/images
• The use of stock footage/images is important as it
helps add/emphasizes realism.
• Helps to emphasizes the point/ideas of the song. (in
this video “Real muthaf**kin G's” the images seen at the
bottom of the screen were added to prove that Eazy e
was a real gangsta and Dr Dre isn't and to embarrass
him)
8. RESEARCH 2
Mini Story at the beginning of the music video
• To help set-up the song
• To help emphasize/reinforce that he is a gangsta
• Help promote his (other) work/songs
• to help provide entertainment ( one of the core
motivations)
9. Police officer listening
Eazy-E Cruisin' In My
Story at the beginning of the video
Core motivations

Genre info –
Grime is a genre of music that originated in London (East London,
East-end) in the early 2000s. It merged/was created out a range of
different music styles/genres such as Rap, UK garage, jungle, 2-
step, dancehall, drum and bass, ragga and electro. Grime is also
influenced by Jamaican dancehall, ragga, and hip hop. The music is
normally rapid, syncopated breakbeats and often features an
aggressive or jagged electronic sound. Rapping is also a significant
part of grime and the lyrics are often a gritty depictions of
urban/street life.
19. FINAL IDEA – TRACK
SUMMARY
Summary/analysis of track [consider meaning, content,
duration, pace and style of the song]
20. FINAL IDEA – YOUR IDEA
Your creative concept/video synopsis [describe your
interpretation, use of imagery or narrative, genre
conventions, etc]
22. GUIDANCE:
PRE-PRODUCTION
ASSESSMENT
You need to assess the viability of your production and
investigate what is required to enable you to make your
music video
Much of this task is hypothetical, which means you will
need to investigate standard costings for such a
production and apply these to your planned production
considering which equipment you would need and
resources, etc
Resources to support this are in the Pre-production
assessment folder on Blackboard
Delete the questions on each slide and insert your
responses
23. GUIDANCE:
BUDGET TARGET
You have provisionally given an outline target of £2000
to make your music video
This target should include a 10% contingency [that
means your budget should allow for £200 pounds within
the budget – so realistically you aim lower than £1800]
Your budget should account for everything, except your
own time and input
Consider more than one option to solve a requirement –
you may be able to balance your budget later, there will
have to be a compromise somewhere
24. GUIDANCE:
TIME
You will need to plan a schedule for the pre-
production/production/post-production
Nominally you should work on 2 weeks pre-production,
1 week filming [2 college days – Mon./Tues first week
after half term] and 2 weeks edit/post-production
Who is going to do what? How will you split the time?
When can you film? What is the availability of the
equipment/resources/locations/personnel?
What problems can you foresee? How will you overcome
them?
25. TITLE OF
PRODUCTION/PRODUCTI
ON OUTLINE
Summary of intended production
Detail here what you are going to make and the intended
outcome
Detailed breakdown of the music track chosen and your
interpretation of it [remember the questions in the
workbook, e.g. pace/mood/tone/structure]
Specific outline your intended technical/equipment
requirements
Include any details that you think [you could use material
from your pitch]
26. LOCATIONS
You need to identify locations and plan a recce.
What are the limitations and risks, eg distance, access,
cost, weather? How will you manage this?
Studio – The shot that I want/need in/from the studio are
relatively easy. The first lot of shots I need
27. EQUIPMENT
Camera – for the camera I have two options. I can hire a
Canon EOS 5D MkIII for £64.00 per day or a Canon EOS
C100 for £75.00 per day.
Canon EOS 5D – the Canon EOS 5D
High-quality performance, even in low light
High-speed continuous shooting
High dynamic range imaging
Full-HD video with manual control
In-camera editing functions
Built to go anywhere
32. PERSONNEL
CREW: What is you team? Who is in it? What are each
team members strengths/weaknesses? When are they
available?
CAST: Do you need any external performers? When are
they available? Cost implications? Will you have to feed
them? Transport them?
Other personnel? Is anyone else helping you?
34. GUIDANCE:
COSTS –
RESOURCES/SOURCES
Basic Guide to costs
http://www.justfilm.co.uk/video-production-costs.html
Rates TV
https://www.bectu.org.uk/advice-resources/rates/television-factual-
rates
Rates all media
https://www.bectu.org.uk/advice-resources/rates
Research local production spaces for edit and post
production costs
Local equipment hire companies have costs for camera,
lenses and kit [tripod, dolly, steadicam rigs, etc]
Travel by vehicle can be nominally charged at 40p per mile –
so you need to know how far you location is from where you
are!
35. CODES OF PRACTICE
AND REGULATIONS
Do you need clearance for copyrighted materials? [you
will need to contact Mechanical Copyright Protection
Society-Performing Rights Society Alliance (MCPS-PRS)]
Do you have performers external to your group
performing? They will need release forms that declare
you can use footage of them in the production. This
needs to be planned for.
Do you have any actors under the age of 18? You will
need parental permission forms.
Are you filming on private property? You will need
written consent PRIOR to filming. Plan in advance. This
needs to be considered.
Consider where you may need specific risk assessments
and health and safety documentation
37. FINANCE/PRODUCTION
COSTS
Using industry rates cards and researched costs of
equipment [cameras], cast, crew, props and facilities
[locations, edit rooms, etc] calculate the likely cost of
your production
Outline details of financial considerations of project, this
could be cost of props/costume/travel/food/etc
Explain what your overall budget is [if applicable] and
how this is to be met
How will you deal with any extra costs? Contingency
fund? What percentage of your budget should this be?
[hint: add 10% on to the final cost, this should cover it!]
Do you foresee any problems? How will you manage
this/over come them?
40. FINAL BUDGET
BREAKDOWN
Provide a costs table for your budget, if you have
considered more than one cost option, provide
alternative final budgets and state a preference with
justification for which option you would choose.
43. 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
44. PRE-
VISUALISATION/CONCEP
T 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:

54. RIP-O-MATIC
You should also construct a 15-20second Rip-o-matic
test reel using existing footage to convey the type of
video you want to make
55. 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
You should create a slide showing all the sections of the
song, then add a slide for each section with timings,
lyrics, what happens and details on specific shots
You could storyboard and shot list each section as you
go, to break up the process.
56. 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!
65. SHOT LIST
Your shot list should contain the sequential breakdown
of what you need to shoot for your video
It should work in partnership with your storyboard
It will be your working document when you film
It should contain the shot number, scene number, shot
description, framing and action you will see
It should also have information on performers in the
scene and other props, etc
Shot list template is on Blackboard in the pre-production
folder.

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
71. RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk Assess each separate filming location using the
table in the camera H&S PP on Bb as a staring point
Completing a generic filming assessment would be a
start, then you can add specialist/site specific risks as
you progress your production
Remember, a Risk Assessment is an ongoing document,
you should evaluate if anything changes in production
and when you put control measures in place
You should add the table to each call sheet for each
location
73. CONTINGENCY
PLANNING
Things go wrong
Your contingency plan is there to give you a backup or to
minimise the effect on production
You should consider the following areas: Technical,
Location, Personnel and Organisational areas [about 5
potential issues for each]
Use the form in pre-production folder on Blackboard
74. CONTINGENCY PLAN
Film and perform the whole song in the studio with
effect like the actually music video is.
75. PRODUCTION
SCHEDULE
Provide an outline of what you will do on which days
during production
You should broadly plan to the following structure:
