Assignment
It is suggested you save this PP in a
different name and share it with your
group so you always have a copy –
some sections require you to delete
the information on the slide and
replace with your own work
Add more pages to each section
where necessary [you should be doing
this!]
Add visuals as you see necessary
This document will be added to as you
progress through the pre-production
phase.

3. TASK 1
Idea
Generation and
Research

4. RESEARCH & IDEA
GENERATION
Select a song/track that you like [or don’t like!]
Generate three ideas for music videos employing styles,
techniques and conventions that we have looked at in
previous sessions. Explore how you could interpret the
song differently using different methods
You can add any extra info you think is relevant, images,
mind maps, etc
For quick mind maps you could use bubbl.us to generate
these
Three ideas
-Animations( a different style maybe even scribbles to
show stronger emotion)
-Multiple cuts in the same area, showing the different
angles, hitting a different lighting representing the lyrics
in a different way.
-Quick cuts and wide angles or bouncy
motion/Swaying

5. RESEARCH
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
Hint!
You’ve already done this in
your case study, so you can
summarise that here where
relevant

6. DAFT PUNK- ONE MORE TIME
Camera- Mostly wide angles and slow cuts, mainly
rotations of the band as they preform on stage. Not
many CUs. Cuts become quicker in time with the music.
Editing- Made to look like a 90’s TV show, old sort of
pixelated. Many crossfades added overlooking each
individual in the band. Made to look funky and upbeat to
the music making everything more light hearted which
brings out the message of having fun one more time.
Performance-All on stage preforming together in a
massive dome on a different planet, their music was that
good it reached others in the universe and people tried
to get them in the end. Everyone having a good time.
Art Style-Again using the cartoony art style that is seen
in most of Daft Punk’s music videos. All made to seem
like a 90’s Japanese cartoon.

7. GORILLAZ- FEEL GOOD INC.
Camera- Predominant amount of Wide angles and CUs of
each of the people in the band, mainly focusing on the main
band member and how he is swaying around. Many quick
cuts. And a lot of wide shots circling the band itself.
Editing- A lot of effects used where The TVs are in place,
glitching and distortions making it look old. 3D effects are
also used in the video making a contrast between the band
characters and the surroundings making them stand out
more.
Performance- All doing their own park but still playing
together. All made to seem that they haven’t slept in days
after “feeling good”.
Art Style- Cartoony art style, it is the bands signature style
that represents them. Normally used in all their videos with
the occasional crossover of either video games or real life
and in this case real life but put behind a massive TV.

8. TWRP- STARLIGHT BRIGADE
Camera- Mostly consisted of Wide angles and rotations
around the singer. A few CUs coming up to the chorus of
the song.
Editing-A lot of editing and effects. Lighting would have
been constantly different for every scene of the
animation, darker tones when in the ship and in the
darkness Making it seem like the character was losing
hope, bringing out the meaning of the lyrics. The lighting
looks more upbeat when its shown that all the characters
had won and showing that everything is more upbeat.
Performance- Main character goes off to space in hope
of finding a way to bring back the stars in this
abandoned ship
Art style- Cartoony art style (Intertextuality) mainly in the

9. PRODIGY- OUT OF SPACE
Camera- Again a lot of CUs and quick cuts. Camera was
also handled a few times as well like holding from a
perspective or like a vlog. Films a long time ago so the
quality may look bad but it actually makes the music
video even better that way.
Editing- A lot of fade ins, ostriches and inverted
transitions. Overlays and explosion effects.
Performance- All being themselves and dancing funny,
they don’t really care how they are presented on camera.
Art Style- No art style just all real live footage of the
band having fun.

10. DAFT PUNK- GET LUCKY
Camera- Mostly CUs of the band playing. A few wide
angles and MCUs.
Editing- Edited so their clothes seem shiny and stand out
together and it makes them look more trendy. A bright
tone on all of the people to contrast against the black
back drop behind them.
Performance-All playing in a dark room with only light
shining on them, they sway and bounce around to the
beat of the music making it seem more upbeat and
happy which represents the lyrics as a positive message,
for this instance getting lucky and not giving up/losing
hope.
Art Style-All normal wearing blingy suits. Daft punk
themselves wearing their techno masks drumming on a

11. POTENTIAL SONGS
-Agoraphobic night, LilyPichu x Corpse Husband
- Love is easy, McFly
- Love like you, Rebecca sugar
-Starlight brigade, TWRP
-Monster, Olivia Olson.

12. POTENTIAL TECHNIQUES
- Using the lighting to emphasize the lighter and darker
tones of the song and lyrics in the song.
MCU and CU’s can create different moods depending on
the angle that is held.

13. CONVENTIONS YOU PLAN TO
USE
The song I will be doing is Emo rap/Lo-fi Hop So if I use
my bedroom and outside surroundings between each
part where the song changes, It will create two stories
that eventually link together. Using LED lights in the
bedroom to change the lighting and create different
moods. For outside I can use the natural lighting and
crate a different atmosphere.
I will use more depressive imagery throughout the Emo
rap parts of the song to convey the lyrics representation,
making all the words stand out to create a message with
the help of different poses and body language, keeping
in mind of boundaries.

14. MIND MAP OF IDEAS
[SUMMARY OF IDEAS]
Bedroom and outside area
LEDs and natural lighting
Editing and camera effects. (Using different transition
techniques and editing in smoothness).
Cuts gathering different angles and perspectives making
the song more vibrant in its words.

15. SUMMARY
5 opportunities of your ideas
It would be nice to create something I have never done
before
It would be a great experience to use different lightings
and effects to play with the mood of the song
It would be nice to explore more of the genres that cross
over in songs
It would be nice to gather knowledge and experience
from all this to be used in the long run
It would be nice to experience the use of teamwork with
people that are helping out with the song.

16. SUMMARY
5 restrictions to your ideas
Lack of editing knowledge
Lack of camera work skills
Small budget to work with on the project
Being camera shy
Forgetfulness and clumsiness when sorting out work,
forgetting to save or losing pieces of work.

17. FINAL IDEA –
ARTIST/TITLE/INFO
Name of track / name of artist
Brief biographical background
Links to other artists
Genre info
“Agoraphobic night” Corpse Husband x LilyPichu Remix (Emo Rap/Lo-Fi Hop)
Artists: Corpse Husband, LilyPichu
Corpse: In 2015, Corpse began his career on YouTube by narrating horror stories on his channel, which
he did consecutively until 2020. He made his musical debut in 2016, being featured on the single "Grim
Grinning Ghost" by The Living Tombstone and Crusher P. On June 2020 he released the single "E-Girls
Are Ruining My Life!", featuring vocals from rapper Savage Ga$p, which generated major wide-spread
commercial success for Corpse in 2020. The song charted at 28 in Bulgaria, 90 on the UK Singles Chart,
and 24 in Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. It also reached more than 100 million streams
on Spotify and was ranked second on Spotify's Viral 50 songs chart.
Lily: Lily Ki, better known by her online alias LilyPichu, is an American internet personality, musician and
voice actress. Ki first gained popularity in 2011 when her parody song "I'll Quit LoL" went viral on
YouTube. In July 2017, a video of Ki playing the melodica to unsuspecting cosplayers at Indy PopCon also
went viral, becoming her most viewed YouTube video to date.

18. FINAL IDEA – TRACK
SUMMARY
Summary/analysis of track [consider meaning, content,
duration, pace and style of the song]
I'm going to be doing Slower cuts and slow-motion shots
for the Lo-Fi Hop scenes making like time has stopped
almost, bringing out the meaning of the lyrics about
being in a dream and for the Emo Rap parts it will be
faster paced and have quicker cuts to give the full
representation of the lyrics.
The Emo Rap parts will consist in the bedroom while the
Lo-Fi Hope will be shot outside around a later time for
the sunset. Both being a private area giving personal
space to film.

19. FINAL IDEA – YOUR IDEA
Your creative concept/video synopsis [describe your
interpretation, use of imagery or narrative, genre
conventions, etc.]
Going to create a contrasting video between two
completely different singers talking about Life and death,
making the softer artists parts warmer and more
welcoming but creating irony as their message speak of
being in a dream rather than alive then for the other
singer a colder atmosphere but again creating irony as
they speak of being alive instead despite all the bad
things that can happen. This will create the contrast and
the link up between the two singers' parts, especially as
their voices are completely different tones. For the Lo-Fi
it will be cast under a sunset but made to look like living
in a dream and for the Emo Rap it will be cast in a dark
atmosphere With lit up LEDs to contrast the bad words
said in the lyrics, giving a different representation than
what is shown itself.

20. TASK 2
Pre-production
Assessment

21. GUIDANC
E:
PRE-
PRODUCT
ION
ASSESSM
ENT
You need to assess the viability of your production and
investigate what is required to enable you to make your
music video
Much of this task is hypothetical, which means you will
need to investigate standard costings for such a
production and apply these to your planned production
considering which equipment you would need and
resources, etc
Resources to support this are in the Pre-production
assessment folder on Blackboard
Delete the questions on each slide and insert your
responses

22. TITLE OF
PRODUCTION/PRODUC
TION OUTLINE
Summary of intended production
Detail here what you are going to
make and the intended outcome
Detailed breakdown of the music
track chosen and your interpretation
of it [remember the questions in the
workbook, e.g.,
pace/mood/tone/structure]
Specific outline your intended
technical/equipment requirements
Include any details that you think
[you could use material from your
pitch]

23. LOCATIONS
You need to identify locations and plan a recce.
What are the limitations and risks, e.g. distance, access,
cost, weather? How will you manage this?
Limitations and risks – Being in an open field might not be the best if
there is dog walkers walking along the same path. Best case then is to
find another open field that is welcome to people but where not many
people go.
Weather – the weather is unpredictable, so I don’t have much control
over it but must check the weather forecast on the days I plan to film to
check what the weather will be like.
Cost – Note sure but probably won’t be a lot

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
Just a tripod, Already have a camera and equipment to
help lighting etc.

25. FACILITIES
Where will you edit your video? Do you need any other
specialist facilities…?
College, Only place able to access editing software.
Unable to do it at home as laptop can’t have editing
software.

26. 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?
My twin brother and my friend will be helping. No cost,
they will be fed, and no transport is needed.
They volunteered to help.

27. PROPS/COSTUME/ETC
I will be in my own clothes for parts and using my neon
kitsune mask and for other shots my friend will be
wearing all black clothing with a dark mask alongside
using the LED lights for the mood.

28. TASK 3.1
Visual Planning

29. 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

30. PRE-
VISUALISATION/CONC
EPT 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]

31. VISUALS
For Corpses parts of the song, I will create a darker
mood and use LEDs to Illuminate a silhouette. For Lily's
parts I will use light-hearted lighting to create a nicer
kind of dreamy mood and atmosphere to bring out the
sense of being in a dream.
LEDs will be used to create a colder atmosphere and
natural lighting will be for a warmer atmosphere which
will be the contrast between the two artists in the song.
Key moments will be around the choruses bringing out
the meaning of the two songs combined.

32. 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

33. STRUCTU
RAL
BREAKDO
WN
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.

34. STORYBOAR
DING
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!

35. STORYBOARD
(Done on paper will get on here)

36. 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.

37. SHOTS

38. TASK 3.2
Organisational
Planning

39. PRODUCTION GROUP INFO
Include names, contact info, and defined roles at
difference stages of production, using a table is
suggested
Elijah Emery- Second actor in song (As Corpse Husband)
John Hutchinson- Camera man
Me- Camera woman/ First actor in song (As lilyPichu)

40. LOCATION
INFORMAT
ION
Information and images of your
location[s] for filming
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

41. LOCATIONS
Home- No Issues
Open dog walking field –People rarely enter so might not
be any issues
Fallback place-
Nearby forest, Again people rarely go so it might just be
empty long enough for some shots
Millfield park- people might be there but its too big for
them to get in the way.

42. RISK
ASSESSM
ENT
Risk Assess each separate filming
location using the table in the
camera H&S PP on Bb as a staring
point
Completing a generic filming
assessment would be a start, then
you can add specialist/site specific
risks as you progress your
production
Remember, a Risk Assessment is an
ongoing document, you should
evaluate if anything changes in
production and when you put
control measures in place
You should add the table to each
call sheet for each location

43. RISK ASSESSMENT
The camera might die
Might slip down the stairs and hurt myself
The weather might screw up the shot
Assessment: None of that will likely happen apart from
weather as it can’t really be controlled.
Just be extra careful when filming and there shouldn’t be
any problems.

44. CONTINGENCY
PLANNING
Things go wrong
Your contingency plan is there to give you a
backup or to minimize the effect on
production
You should consider the following areas:
Technical, Location, Personnel and
Organizational areas [about 5 potential issues
for each]
Use the form in pre-production folder on
Blackboard

45. CONTINGENCY PLAN
If it rains when unwanted best option is to wait for a
better time to film or go inside and do it from there.
Constantly check the battery life on the camera so it
doesn’t end up dying mid filming
Move to a different location if disrupted by people.

46. 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
