Saturday Filming Plan

Shot Plan

Mise-en-scene Costumes for each scene

I have Paris try on all costumes that will be used or possibly used in my music video. These are all inspirations from my previous research of style icons and celebrities who are in the same music genre of my song.
I have created a mood board of clothing, accessories and make-up with items picked from Topshop (www.topshop.com) which all relate the the look of my artist.

The clothing is inspiration for similar items of clothing I want my artist to be dressed in and portray her personality through clothing choices. 

Mise-en-scene Actor

This is my only other main character in my music video, which is Charlie Sharkett. He will play the part of Paris's boyfriend in the music video throughout the break-up. Charlie will not feature as much as Paris in the video, but will still be an important role.

Mise-en-scene Actress

This is my actress and singer for my music video. Her name is Paris Hall and will be the main character throughout my music video: 

Health and Safety

These are the health and safety precautions I need to be aware of when filming in all locations to avoid any accidents.

Anamatic

I have put every shot from my story board together along with the song and put in the correct timings of each shot so I can get a feel and overall general look of how my music video will look before filming. This is a great way to see how it will look and especially if I notice parts I don't like or if certain shots would need changing to save time to change them after my filming. 

Story Board

Existing Genre Locations

I looked through music videos that have the same genre as mine and artists that produce music videos that I aspire from. I looked at the settings and locations they were filmed in hope to encorparte parts of the way they look into my own music videos. Here are some examples from the research I have found. 

A long shot of a bath scene used in a lively music video, I have not yet decided if I am going to fill the bath with water and bubbles or have it empty and just use it as a prop. This photo is useful to see how it would look, and how I could have my actress posed. 

I would like a similar medium close up shot like this of  my actress Paris from the living room window location. It portrays the darkness she is feeling inside, the emptiness and is very effectively used in a successful music video from Rihanna. Rihanna's music genre is also pop/R&B. 

 This is extreme long shot from a neutral bedroom scene in a famous Beyonce music video. The room itself is highly realistic and fits well within the theme of the music video because of the colors, similar to what I hope to use in my bedroom scene. 

 This medium close up shot shows Beyonce on an old fashioned phone, which she is crying into portrayed with the heavily make up she is wearing which is running down her face. This is exactly what I want Paris to look like after crying and arguing with Charlie in my music video and aim to have a similar medium close up like this. 

This is a long shot from another bedroom scene from a pop music video which I also would consider using. I also like the posture of the artist the way she is laid across the bed in pain. I would consider having my actress in the pose as it could show the pain inside she is feeling. However, I would use brighter lighting for the filming then edit it down after woulds.

Audience Profile

This is my target audience based upon my research through polls and interviews. I have established the type of audience my music video will be aimed at through what they enjoy, what they do, wear and shop and how they consume music through modern day technology.

Julian McDougall (2009) suggests that "In the online 
age it is getting harder to conceive a media audience 
as a stable, identifiable group." 

My audience relates to Julian McDougall's theory of audience profiling as my genre is a cross of RnB/Pop/Pop Rock/Dance. Because of the many genre cross overs it is harder to identify one pacific type of audience as my video will appeal to a wide range of different people from RnB, pop, pop-rock and dance music genres as it touches on each category. The audience is harder to narrow down through an age, the age gap for a target audience is becoming bigger due to the easy access of material through the internet on sites such as You Tube and Spotify which ables people all around the world at any time to listen, watch and consume music of their choice. 

Filming Locations

I will need to find suitable locations for each scene within my music video. Some scenes may be shot in the green room to able me to add backdrops to the film. 
However I need a set for the bedroom scene, this example shows a plain bedroom with neutral colors, something which I am aiming to find to film the scenes in. I want the bedroom to be plain because it can portray how she wants to feel 'normal' but instead she is very confused and upset hens rolling around in the bed. A bedroom can also mean a place which you sleep with your partner, and hers not been there will also emphasis the problems in the relationship. 

I need a place for the car scene, this example shows how I want the headlights to look on camera, as I want a close up of Paris's legs walking across them to give the impression she is getting into another mans car. The fact it will also be at night can give off the idea that she is possibly going on a date somewhere and also adds to the mysteriousness. 

I need a typical house setting for the argument, this example is a normal modern family home living room layout. I want this because the relationship is going through domestic arguing and fall outs. The home portrays where they should be happily together in stereo typically.Where as in reality nobody else is aware of the problems they are facing or the stress they are going through, and during the song it is expressed that the 'camera' meaning the media only show and portray the parts they want to see of her.  

I need a urban area to film in parts, this example shows a brick wall. This can have many connotations to her feelings inside. Its a hard brick wall, she cannot break down these imaginary 'walls' she has built inside herself to not be able to let her feelings and emotions out to the boy she is on the 'rocks' with. This wall portrays how hard and bitter she feels inside.

I need a bathroom for the bath scene, this is a small example, I just particularly would like a white bath with a tiled wall. The bath will be the main focus in the shot and will be filmed using medium close up and long shots. I want to film in this part of the house as it is a private place and possibly the only place you get some privacy in the house. And because of this I wanted to film parts in here as it is the only space she will get to be alone, drink, smoke and cry about her problems without anyone else been aware of them. 

I also want a park area for small part of the scene that is similar to urban wall, these will be some rocks in a local park near where I live. The park is a perfect urban area to film in which relates and fits in to the theme of the song and genre. I will need to film this when the weather is good as it will be hard to adjust the lighting outside.
