This document provides guidance on planning a music video production. It instructs students to continue developing their plans for a music video by completing necessary pre-production documents like storyboards, schedules, budgets, and location permits. Students are asked to identify outstanding planning tasks and set a target to work on, such as finishing a draft document. They will then work towards their target and develop their music video idea. Finally, students will present their storyboards and ideas to peers to get feedback on their plans.
