This document provides equipment, props, cast, location and shot lists for a music video. The primary equipment includes a Panasonic DMC-L10 camera and a Mino Flip camera, with a tripod for stable shots. Props include the artist's guitar and the filmmaker's car. The cast is limited to the artist and filmmaker portraying his lost love. Shooting will take place at Swanage beach, in the filmmaker's car, and at his house. The shot list outlines various shots including close-ups, establishing shots, and shots conveying the artist-love relationship story over the course of the video.

1. Equipment, Props, Cast List, Location
List, Shot List.

2. Equipment
The camera(s) I will be using is a Panasonic
DMC-L10 which offers quality video, and also
a Mino Flip camera, since the Cannon will be
used on a time share, so I may not be able to
use it at all times. The Mino Flip Camera,
though perhaps slightly less quality film,
offers simple shooting, so if I wanted to do
handheld shots the Mino would better cater
for that.
To allow for quality shots, I need a tripod to
film a majority of my video.
A majority of my video is outside at the beach,
so although there will be a majority of natural
lighting, in order to illuminate my artist and
enhance the quality of my video, I need a light
reflector. For outside film, I will use an
aluminium foil reflector which I will make myself
by covering cardboard with foil. This will prevent
unwanted glares or shades on my video,
especially useful for close up shots of the artist.

3. Props
Although the artists won’t perform his song live and will
lip-sync, I want the artist to have a guitar in the
performance shots of the video to make it authentic.
The artist wrote the guitar-rift and lyrics for the song,
so it seems important to have the guitar feature in the
video. His own Martin guitar will be the feature guitar.
The car (My own) is an important prop in the video, as a lot
of the narrative shots are filmed inside or filming the car the
itself. In terms of risk assessment it’s my own car which I’m
fully licensed and insured to drive, nobody else will drive
the car, and I will only drive in legal areas.

4. Cast list
To keep my video simple I am only featuring two people in my video; the artist and ‘the
girl’ the artist has lost. Because my video is heavily inspired by the ‘Like Crazy’ trailer, I
wanted to make my own video simple, but aesthetically beautiful and emotional. I will
feature myself in the video, since me and the artist are an actual couple, it means the
video won’t look fake, awkward, or posed. Featuring myself as ‘The girl’ also means I don’t
have to worry about reliability and continuity because I’m using myself so can control the
consistency. In shots where I feature, I won’t be able to film it myself (Except certain
handhold shots supposed to replicate self-made home videos) but I will set the shots up
and edit the footage completely independently.
LOCATION LIST
As stated in my mood board for my video, the primary location for my
video will be Swanage beach, focusing on the pier but also with shots
along the beach. Other locations will include the inside of my car, and also
house shots. Swanage beach is an open beach, and I will not need
permission to film there unless filming people other than my consented
artist. I will not need permission to film in my own car or own house.
