2. Visual Planning

3. 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

4. Pre-visualisation/Concept 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:

5. Concept Board
Effects
Locations
In my music video I am going to use locations such as a wall that has graffiti on it as this fits
in with the vibe of the video and the wall looks aesthetically pleasing which will help the
video. I am also going to film in a tunnel as this fits in with the vibe of the video and I am
going to film at the Abbey because this will fit in with the video vibe as well. I have chosen
some effects for me to get inspiration from because I am going to include a lot of effects as I
don’t want my video to look how I filmed it, I always want something going on. I am going to
include a lot of trippy effects and a lot of demonic effects as it fits in with the vibe of the
song and it makes it interesting to watch.

7. 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

11. 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!

12. I have included some medium and long shots here of the locations whist the introduction of the music is starting. This sets the atmosphere for
the video and the medium shot allows the audience to see everything at the location. Whilst the medium shots allow the consumer to see the
location as well as being ale to see with a it more detail as t is closer up
The first shot I have used is a tight medium shot so the audience can see what else is in the shot and not just the artist. I then use a medium full
shot of the artist against the wall and then the last shot is a long shot

13. This shot I have used is a medium close up shot so the consumer can see the artist clearly. I then use a extra long shot so the focus is on the
background and what's going on rather than the artist and the last shot I have decided to use is a medium long shot which allows the
consumer to see the artist clearly whilst also being able to see what is going on in the video clearly
I have then used a medium close up shot which I decided to use as the consumer can see the artist clearly and any facial expressions the artist
may have and I then used a close up shot to allows the consumer to see the facial expressions of to artist more clearly. I then simply used a
medium shot of the location.

14. This shot I have used first is a medium shot. This was because I wanted the consumer to be able to see what is going on I the background and in
the video whilst also being able to see the artist. The second shot is a medium close up so again the consumer can see what is going on around
the artist however again this allows them to see facial expressions more and clearly. The next shot is a medium shot of the artist so the
consumer can see what is going on in the video as I will add some video overlays
The two shots ere are just medium shots of the locations as I want the audience to feel the vibe of the song and I think having these locations
here work well for that as it helps put the picture in the audiences mind. The last shot I used is a medium close p shot so the audience can see
what the artist is wearing, they can see the locations as well as seeing facial expressions from the artist.

15. Shot List
• Your shot list should contain the sequential breakdown of what you
need to shoot for your video – it is both a creative tool for planning
and practical tool for filming
• 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.

17. Task 3.2
Organisational Planning

18. Production Group Info
• Include names, contact info, and defined roles at difference stages of
production, using a table is suggested
Name Contact Role
Dan Burton Email Actor / Artist
Louis Fitton Email Director

19. Location information
• Information and images of your location[s] for filming
• You should have address details, clearance/premissions 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

20. Location & Equipment
The location for my music video are very simple. My
Locations are based in York , North Yorkshire United
Kingdom and also Whitby, North Yorkshire ,United
Kingdom. I have chosen these locations because I
think that they fit in well with the vibe of my video
and when it comes to editing the music video it will
look aesthetically pleasing to watch. Plan b would
be to film in a urban scene where there is a lot of
graffiti which I either would go to York or Leeds for
and film at a skate park in Scarborough and I would
also film around various different locations which
are urban based.
The equipment I need for my video is a camera and a sd card so that I am able to film for my video. I will need a
microphone so I can hear the audio more clearly. I need to use a tripod so I can get some till shots and I also need a
speaker so that when I am filming for my music video I can have the music playing loud so the artist can lip sync over the
track.
