Research and planning blog tasks

Now complete the following tasks:

1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

National Anthem demo

2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene.

  • lipsyncing
  • red lighting
3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your TikTok music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project.

Girl takes ipod and plays National anthem. Puts in earpods and music goes louder. she lipsynces music. music almost transports her.l vintage filter now. she dances and frolicks with the american flag. she picks flowers. and is cinematic. she wars red, white and blue eye makeup and hair flowers. 
she then takes out her earpods and music fades. she plays a banner on her ipod that says "national anthem out now"


4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative filmmaking but the same format can be used for any video project)

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting

ipod, flowers, eyeshadow, headphones, flag. bushes with flowers.

6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange. 

shoot on friday 2pm,  alley next to my house, my friend aysha is acting.
