Research

3. RESEARCH
Example songs of society or relation to politics
1. Airplanes – B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams
2. Titanium – David Guetta ft. Sia
3. Pompeii – bastille
4. Show & tell – Melanie Martinez
5. The principle – Melanie Martinez
6. Price tag – Jessie J ft. B.o.B
Hint!
You’ve already done this in your case study, so you can
summarise that here where relevant
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

4. AIRPLANES – B.O.B FT.
HAYLEY WILLIAMS
Main genre: society and hopes and
dreams
•The camera shots are taken in a
variety of distances and shows a
main focus on each one.
•The editing is amazing where they
use moving pictures from the past
to make the lyrics more important,
as well as the use of the lights to
show different energy levels.
•The performance shown on the
video is energetic and very dynamic
•This could link to my product with
the sue of different heights and

5. TITANIUM – DAVID
GUETTA FT. SIA
Main genre: society destroying dreams
and hopes as well as getting rid of
anyone with something special about
them
The camera shots are focused on the
lad and the supernatural powers he
has as well as distant shots to show
what society has gotten too and how
we treat people.
The use of special effects gave this
video a deeper meaning linking to
society.
The performance was well directed as
it showed a story along with the lyrics
I could use this n my production by
using special effects to create a main

6. POMPEII –
BASTILLEMain genre: society falling apart
The name Pompeii is related to the disaster that
happened in the place Pompeii with the volcano
eruption this presenting a fall but specifically in
society.
The camera use give it a more real feeling because
the camera is doing the same movements are similar
to the singers
The effects that they use are transactions to make
this a story but as well the black eyes everyone has.
If I used this song I could still incorporate the feeling
of being alone and the falling to societies

7. The principle –
Melanie
Martinez
Show & tell –
Melanie
Martinez
Melanie's music is all to do with society and how people are treated when
there’s a higher ranked person in charge.
The different shots give a view of how serious it all is and the intricate with the
different scenes to show the monarchy type people in the principle and in show
and tell she’s directing this to the people who are using her or people like
Donald trump who don’t respect others.
The special effects of objects coming from the roof or turning into a doll or
getting rid of the judges is well shown giving us the thought that the monarchy
can be taken down.
If I was going to use
one of these songs for
my video I would try
incorporate the puppet
on the strings

8. PRICE TAG – JESSIE J FT.
B.O.BPrice tag is about the uniting of
people through music and not
through money.
Every body has to have a price for
everything like advice is now needed
to be paid for because nothing come
for free anymore.
The use of camera actions during the
video shows the different importance
of each word in the lyrics.
The effects of the dollhouse and the
little props in a blank space gives us
perspective of how importance small
things can be.
If I was to use this song I would used
the tree but with every one trying to
get at it.

9. POTENTIAL SONGS
Airplanes - this uses airplanes to metaphorically ask
to go back to the days where politics didn't’t stop
them from being them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU
Price tag – talks how money never united us its
separated us only music could reunite us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI
Pompeii – the walls of society has fallen now
everyone is falling with it its like trying to fight back
the feeling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-
8NY&list=RDEMdCxIUmlyvHKO9eMyVdUEgA

10. POTENTIAL
TECHNIQUES
① Zoom in/out process’ to prove different points of
each word in the lyrics
② Using props and making them look objectively bigger
than the person
③ The special effects to make it look like a different
world or give it a supernatural feel
④ The placement and where the videos are set to link to
the lyrics so that it gives it more meaning.

11. CONVENTIONS YOU
PLAN TO USE
①Different objects that mean
something to specific lyrics
②Scenery to suit the type of song
③The people I will use for this

12. MIND MAP OF IDEAS
[SUMMARY OF IDEAS]

13. MIND MAP OF IDEAS [SUMMARY OF IDEAS]

14. MIND MAP OF IDEAS [SUMMARY OF IDEAS]

15. SUMMARY
5 opportunities of your ideas
① Out in the open
② Multiple use of objects and people
③ Lyrics can use a variety of meanings
④ An eye catcher is where a basic disaster could potentially
kill them
⑤ Up beat and quite flexible with the pace of the
picture/videos

16. SUMMARY
5 restrictions to your ideas
1. No raves
2. No videos of a band them selves
3. To not go over the top with the meaning to
the video
4. Not to use just one person to bring the song
to life
5. Not to be basic

17. FINAL IDEA –
ARTIST/TITLE/INFO
Airplanes
By B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams of paramore
• released in April 2010
•The duo never saw each other when making the song
only when it was the live performance.
B.o.B, Jeremy "Kinetics" Dussolliet, Tim "One Love"
Sommers, DJ Frank E, Alex "da Kid" Grant, and Christine
Dominguez.
The genre is hip hop but links to society

18. FINAL IDEA – TRACK
SUMMARY
meaning: B.o.B is reminiscing bout the old days where
we did things that we love for fun not for a job
Content: There’s a lot of lights like stars and structured
camera movements with slomo and fade
Duration: Its 3 minutes and 11 seconds long
Pace: Its quite a up beat song that can be brought to
modern very easily.
Style: Its very directed to the audience makes the
audience fee like its all true

19. FINAL IDEA – YOUR
IDEAI could use this song to create a story on how society is breaking us apart
and that music was the one way we all would communicate with our minds
and words. I want to include the drawing with lights and showing a reverse
from modern to when music would bring us together

20. TASK 2 Pre-production
Assessment

21. Intended production: is to create a music video for the song “airplanes” so that the lyrics and the
video link to each other and make sense.
The intended outcome: for the video to seem like a story about music being our only way of
communicating to each other and that we could use airplanes to wish for a better life.
“Airplanes” is about the rapper remembering when music was something people did for fun and to be
recognized but it changed after politics and now they are creating music just to stay relevant in the
world, the pace of the music starts of slow but gets more up beat further in the music but its still a
steady pace. The mood is quite happy but upset/ regret at some points because of the politics and
society, the tone is quite steady and is like a strict teacher telling you your wrong about something.
The structure is well communicated into this as it give the different perspectives of importance to
two people who are famous that the days were better when music was just for fun.
Create it to represent that music is a better way to live through than living through politics and
society rules
Equipment I will need are: -
-Camera
-SD card and battery
-Tripod
(going to create filters when using lights and drawing with lights)
COMPANY NAME: THE TREBLE CLEF

ORIGINAL ARTISTS: B.O.B FT. HAYLEY WILLIAMS
PRODUCTION OUTLINE: TO CREATE A MUSIC VIDEO FOR A CERTAIN
SONG AND TO MAKE THE VIDEO AND MUSIC LINK TOGETHER.
DIRECTOR: JESSIE BOURKE ( DJ. BAB)

22. 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?

23. WHERE CAN I FILM?
IS THERE A LIMIT TO WHERE I CAN GO?
CAN MY STAFF GET THERE?
- there are some places that I only need to video the
location where there’s no characters.
- If I need a staff member in that shot and they cant get
there, I can use the green screen the put the location in
through that.
- of the weathers bad and we need an outside sun shot
then would have to reschedule or use that weather to
give it a different meaning.
- I can manage this with a timetable of days where I can
video and check through the content. And find put when
my crew is available.

24. EQUIPMENT
What do you need? E.g.
equipment, resources?
Mostly from college, but
who do you need to speak
to get this kit? What is
available? When?
Look at equipment hire
places, etc

25. WHAT POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT I
NEED?
①The camera … well obviously
②SD card
③The correct battery for the
camera
④TripodI can go on the booking kit tab in blackboard and also talk to my
tutor about the specific equipment I will need.
If it isn't available straight away I would get on with making sure
everyone knows what they are doing when it is available and I
would make sure all process work is up to date and ready to be
sent off to tutor.

26. FACILITIES
Where will you edit
your video? Do you
need any other
specialist facilities…?

27. FACILITIES I CAN USE
I can use the green screen facility with a few days warning to
allow it to be ready.
I would be editing with the current mac in the classroom and
I can incorporate the use of drawing with lights to add more
to the music and make it seem like wishes

28. 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?

29. PERSONN
ELDirector: Jessie Bourke (nickname: DJ. BAB)
Position/Cast:
The Hayley Williams part – Sam and myself
The B.o.B part – ? need a lad pref. for this
Position/Crew:
In charge of playing the music so easily link up - myself or friend who currently
with me
Props person – myself or friend who currently with me
Helpers/what help with:
My parents with transport
Ill by one round of drinks occasionally not food costs a fortune ill bring a picknick
Cast/crew members will mainly be people outside of media class
people so I have a variety of skill and because I'm more
comfortable.

30. PROPS/COSTUME/ETC
① Clear screen/ cling film
② Bottle of water
③ Lights
④ Modern clothing
⑤ A blank room that we can use the
projector on.
The use of the clear
screen and bottle of
water is so we can
create a scene where
its kind of like bad
weather but its in a
sunny place so I can
use different colour
hues to add more
effects

31. TASK 3.1 Visual Planning

32. Sam is the main
singer. The Hayley
Williams part
mainly outside but
also have empty
room shots for the
drawing of lights
Main words pop up
in scenes as well as
when words over
lap on the song
when both singers
are singing
together for main
chorus/ verse.
The rap part would
have a lot of other
shots but am trying
to get a male
singer.
Link to a story
There will be colour
as well as
black’n’white. There
will be main focus on
the main singers
going through a
struggle in life

33. 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:
http://io9.com/5941145/this-directors-video-pitch-for-
hunger-games-might-be-better-than-the-real-movie]

35. 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

36. 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.

37. Can we pretend that
airplanes in the night
sky are like shootin'
stars
I could really use a wish
right now, wish right
now, wish right now
X2
This is the main
chorus of the song so
when the main singer
in my video is behind
a glass looking scene
with water to make it
look sad and before
I’m going to have a
intro vid to start it off
with a story feel.
Through out this
chorus there will be
short videos of the
story to make sense
through out.
The chorus

38. Rap part 1
I could use a dream or a
genie or a wish
To go back to a place much
simpler than this
Cause after all the partying
and smashing and crashing
And all the glitz and glam
and the fashion
Yeah, yeah Overlaps
Could bring footage from
Aladdin to link to the genie or
a wish part. For this whole
part
Have a place with a lot of lights
to make it look like a party and
use green screens to make
something look better like very
posh.
People having fun

39. Rap part 1
And all the pandemonium
and all the madness
There comes a time when
you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at
the phone in your lap
And you hoping but them
people never call you back
Have one person stood in the middle
of loads of people but have its it in
fast motion and that one person to
stand still like its in slow motion or
regular motion then everything soon
fades away
Flash to when there’s someone one
their phone with a close up of
messages of an argument.
Then said person in argument calls
up

40. But that's just how the
story unfolds
You get another hand
soon after you fold
And when your plans
unravel in the sand
What would you wish
for, if you had one
chance?
Rap part 1
Have book but place a piece of
green paper in so can use as a
green screen so a video of
someone giving their hand.
Then someone wipes away
sand from a picture of a plan
Then is blows away and the
words for the last line show
up.

41. So airplane
airplane sorry I'm
late
I'm on my way so
don't close that
gate
If I don't make
that then I'll
switch my flight
and
I'll be right back
at it by the end
of the night
Rap part 1
The singer is on their way to a new
life hoping it doesn't’t go down the
drain
Can use some doors closing with a
stop watch faintly over it.
An image showing the
next flight
And the sunset finish into
the night but speeded up

42. Yeah yeah somebody take me
back to the days
Before this was a job before I
got paid
Before it ever mattered what I
had in my bank
Yeah back when I was trying to
get a tip at subway
This is where the singer wants
to go back to when everything
is better not where everything
is about work and payment
Have money handed to the
singer like he’s done some
work after their singing
Rap part 2

43. And back then I was
rapping for the hell of it
But nowadays we rapping to
stay relevant
I'm guessing if can make
some wishes out of
airplanes
Then maybe oh maybe I'll
go back to the days
Wants it to be where
rapping was for fun
not to be relevant
The video is just
going be of the rapper
singer for this part
Prolonged video of
the night sky
Rap part 2

44. Before the politics that
we call the rap game
And back when ain't
nobody listened to my
mix tape
And back before when I
tried to cover up my
slang
But this is for the
Decatur what's up
Bobby Ray
The politics is like another rap game
always fighting for the top spot
Nobody would listen to the mix tape
And when he tried to change to get a
chance.
Rap part 2Rap part 2

45. So can I get a wish to
end the politics
And get back to the
music that started
this shit
So here I stand and
then again I say
I'm hoping we can
make some wishes
outta airplanes
Politics ruined music and the
wish is to go back to the
days where music was the
key to everyone
Video of them
standing there
and saying the
lyrics
Rap part 2

46. I could really use a wish right now
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
Like, like, like shootin' stars
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
A wish a wish right now
The final scene is both
singers or one just in one
place singing the final lyrics
at night where the stars are
out and airplanes looking
like the stars so make a wish.
The final verse

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
