Planning Blog

Before beginning the process of making our music video, my group and I have planned out the different aspects of the video. These aspects include the location(s), costumes that will be worn, props that will be used, the schedule we will follow, and how we will remain healthy and safe throughout every step.  this plan will give us a clear guide that will guide us and ensure we work efficiently.

Our music video will have multiple scenes, and multiple different settings. The main locations of our scenes will be a coffee shop, the beach, a gym, and a car, a night hang out area (that will be finalized shortly), and a home. Each scene will correspond with the location it is filmed at and will develop the plot and create diversity among the scenes of our music video. My group and I may add or change locations as we move forward and begin the filming process.

The costumes our actor(s) will wear will correspond with the location and message of each scene. For the gym scene, the actor will be wearing a costume of workout attire, such as leggings and running shoes. The actors in the night out scene will be wearing fun night out clothes as their costumes. In one of the scenes, the actor will be portrayed going to work and returning from work, so her costume will be professional business clothing. Lastly, there may be a scene or two where the costumes worn will be casual clothing. 

We will incorporate a good amount of props into our video. These props include, but are not limited to, a Phone, laptop, make up items, gym equipment, and coffee cups. Each prop will be significant to the scenes they are in. For instance, the phone will be used in a scene where the actor will be talking on the phone. The laptop will be used in the business scene, and the gym equipment in the gym scene. The props will enhance the scenes and make them more interesting to watch. 

Throughout the entire production of our video, my group and I will strive to be as healthy and safe as possible. There are multiple ways we will do this. We will maintain our safety in the car scene by keeping the car parked during the scene. For each location we film at, we will ask permission prior to filming in case there are safety precautions that need to be taken. my group members and I will be sure to film only under safe weather conditions. Should it be warm and sunny out, we will be sure to maintain proper hydration.

Our schedule for filming is subject to change, but we have establish some dates. We plan to film about three scenes this weekend on Sunday, the 24th. The rest of our filming will take place the following weekend and/or the weekend after next. Once we complete filming, we will move on to editing. The dates we plan to edit or not yet finalized, but we imagine them to be December 2nd through the 6th.
