Advanced Equipment List

For my music video,  my group and I will need various pieces of equipment to film and edit our music video. These include:

- Video Camera - To film the footage.
- Tripod - To hold the camera steady and get clear and accurate shots.
- Artificial coloured lighting - To get the colour of our video right and an accurate picture.
- iMovie - on the macbook and for editing the footage of our music video.

The below objects are needed to be in the actual shots of the music video.

- A house - setting of the music video.
- Drinks
- Twister
- Party poppers
- Balloons
             

Health and safety assessment.

As a group, we created a safety risk asessment before we created our music video. This was so that we can determine if the location that we are planning to film in has any serious health and safety risks. If so, we can decide how to combat these risks and make the locations safe to film in, or we can just pick a new location.

Below is a risk assessment that we made as a group. We know that we will be filming in a house and creating a house party and therefore we made ourselves aware of the risks that are involved. For example, falling down the stairs.

Shot list.

Below is a shot list in which the group created together and it is embedded with the programme SlideShare. This part of the planning prcess was vital as it gave us the opportunity to plan out properly what we are going to do and how we want viewers to see the video. It will also make the filming easier as we can simply follow the shotlist so we know what's coming next. If we hadn't done the shot list, our filming would be unorganised and we wouldn't know how our video would look on screen.

Storyboard of Music Video.

Below, I have used PhotoSnack to embed a story board for the music video, drawn by Simran and conjured together.

Padlet Feedback

Using an online website called Padlet, I have gathered a number of virtual 'sticky notes' that my peers and classmates written expressing their opinion on our treatment and idea for the video. It is important to do this as my music video will be aimed at the age and gender of my peers and so it is vital that I reach my target audience. They have left on my padlet what they think is good about my treatment and suggestions that I could include to make it better.

Draft Treatment

Below is the draft treatment of my music video.The treatment consists of our ideas of what we should do for our music video, which we worked on as a group. We also planned what equipment and resources we would need. It is important to plan this music video so the group can be organised and we all know what we are doing when it comes to editing, so that we don't waste time improvising.

 

Artist Motifs.

An artist motif is something that an artist does a lot and by which the public recognises them by. In many music videos,  the artist has a particular thing in which the public associate them with.
For example, Jessie J is associated with the black bob, as the public know it as the 'Jessie J hair cut'. This can be featured in most of her music videos including Price Tag, Do it Like a Dude, Nobody's Perfect, Who You Are and Domino.
Another one of the motifs that Jessie J does in her music videos is push the camera away from her. This is evident in three of her music videos: It's my Party, Do it Like a Dude and Wild. For my music video, I will try to continue the theme of pushing the camera away, in order to keep the artist motif.
