Planning : Casting / Locations / Costume / Props / Camera Equipment / Lighting / Shot List / Filming Schedule

Once you have completed the work set out below, you need to manage your own time in order to complete all of the following by the start of Term 3.

Each stage below is part of your planning evidence and must be detailed in a separate post.


Planning : Casting

This post should clearly evidence the casting of performers for your music video.

You should include video evidence of actors 'performing' so that a clear sense of their suitability can be seen.

Planning : Filming Locations

This post should clearly evidence the choice of locations for your music video.

You should include still image and video footage of the locations you consider. 

Evidence of Level 2 planning for this aspect can be found by CLICKING HERE - why do you think this evidence is only Level 2? What could you do to ensure that it moves beyond BASIC and into GOOD (level 3) or EXCELLENT (Level 4)?

Planning : Costume 

This post should clearly evidence the consideration of costume worn by the performers in your music video.

You should include a clear explanation of how your costume choices reflect the artist's style and the genre of music into which the song falls.

Planning : Camera Equipment

This post should clearly evidence the planning of camera equipment for your music video.

We have a range of cameras available. You need to record test footage with these which shows that you have practised using the camera equipment before it comes to the actual filming for your music video.

You need to include photos of the equipment and of you using it.

Planning : Lighting 

This post should clearly evidence the consideration of lighting for your music video.

You should show thought about the need for lighting or, if there is no need, why this is the case.

Planning : Shot List

You must produce a shot list which clearly shows what footage will be needed during the filming stage.

You can see a completed shot list for the music video 'Selfies' produced by Evie Brudenall by CLICKING HERE

Planning : Filming Schedule

Once everything else above is completed you are in the position of being able to produce a filming schedule.

The filming schedule draws things together and can be used as a tool to ensure that you have everything you need to be able to film successfully.
