3. Locations
• My main overall area would be in town as it is the largest area, I
have that has the most variation and as my music video will be
taking place at sunset/nighttime.
• There isn’t much of a limitation with town as its large and mostly
public property with some possible risks of that it is in public with
other people who could be a risk to me, my crew or my equipment
also some environmental risks but very minor ones.
• For me and Brandon the distance isn’t much of an issue but may be
for matt as he lives slightly further out which have some cost for
him for travel.
• Our access to certain areas may be restricted due to weather
depending on our days we decide to film and how the weather
turns out.
4. Equipment
• We will be using a old camcorder to film everything as it gives the effect as
natural look of he old homemade vhs look that I am going for. I may get
some lights from college to maybe add to the night-time potions and give
it more depth and if I isn’t possible to et this from college I can just buy
some.
5. Facilities
• Most of my editing will the place at home on my phone and laptop also
along with the ones at college when possible. I may also get some help
from my friends as they have better knowledge and know how with
editing than me and can help me create a better product, but I will
probably do a large amount of my editing on the college computers or my
phone as I have good knowledge on how to edit clips on my phone as I do
it in my own time an have gotten better each time.
6. Personnel
• Crew: matt, Brandon.
Matt has a definite strength editing as he has a lot more experience in that
field and is also decent at his filming but isn’t his strong suit. Brandon has
more experience being behind the camera and is far more comfortable using
and operating the camera but is less experience in the editing area.
• Cast: me, matt, Brandon.
I don’t need any external performers ass I will be the only main performer, but I
do want to have some shots of me with matt and Brandon to add more depth and
visual interest to the music video and they will be available regularly throughout
the easter holidays. There may be cost and travel implications for matt as he lives
in Stamford bridge, but he could also just stay at mine to negate this for a few
days. Food and water will all either be paid for when we are out filming or just
grab something from my house there's plenty of areas to eat.
8. 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
9. 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.
10. Layout Plans
• Sketches and digital mock ups using existing
images off google to represent what your
products will look like.
• Sketch some ideas on paper, even if very basic.
Scan them in and add them to the document.
• Use the colours, fonts and similar images to
construct digital layout plans.
• Qualify each creative choice, providing a rationale
of why you chose it; “I used Red because…” “I
have the model looking at camera because…” etc.
14. Sound Effects/Music
• I'm hoping to use my own made music for my music video as it will
old greater value to me and shows my skills all in one product, it
will also allow me to release it under my own name for my own
music career. The song will be around 1 minute 10 seconds long
and has a very atmospheric sound and sample which captures a
sense of solace and with the lyrics I have really draws into that
emotion.
• If I am unable to successfully finish the song I can also use of my
older songs called “BLOOD ON THE FLOOR” which has a largely
opposite feel to the original song idea and is a lot more hyper, hard
hitting and loud and would mean for a more energetic and frantic
music video
15. Script/Copy
• You will need to write out any copy or script
that you will be using. You will need to do this
as a separate document or you can include it
here.
– Magazine articles (double page spread) are
around 1400 words.
– Audio often has between 100 – 130 words per
minute.
– Films vary, but even if it has no dialogue, you need
to script what will happen visually.
17. Production Group Info
• Include names, contact info, and defined roles
at difference stages of production, using a
table is suggested
18. Location information
• Information and images of your location[s] for
filming/recording/shooting.
• This means when you will arrive, when it will be
available, when you model/cast should arrive, when
you will finish, access to food/water, access to toilets,
nearby travel links etc etc.
• 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
19. locations
• I am going to mostly focus on getting shots in
town in well lit areas such as Clifford's tower,
the centre, the minster and possibly some
shots near the docks to give it some slight
differentiation to all of the more well lit areas.
20. Production Schedule
• Your schedule should budget a total of 10
hours for production, that is for the filming
and editing of your project.
• You should plan when you’re filming and how
you intend to use the in class days on your
timetable/class schedule

You need to identify locations and plan a recce.

Look at equipment hire places, etc
Where will you edit your video? Do you need any other specialist facilities…? Software?
CREW: What is you team? Who is in it? What are each team members strengths/weaknesses? When are they available?
