Initial Ideas Pitch

I planned an initial ideas pitch to present to my classmates in order to gain an outside opinion on my idea and so they can point out any issues and problems that I will have to consider when filming my music video.

This is the presentation I used for my pitch.

Location and Actor Planning*

Learning Comment:
By planning the location and actor of my music video, will make storyboarding and planning the shot list easier as I know the different limitations and strengths of each location. By knowing where my filming will take place I am also able to organise my actor so that we know what location we need to be at and on what day.

Camera Techniques Planning

As I am planning on having a stronger focus on the performance elements in my music video rather than narrative, I decided to research into camera and photography techniques that I could use in my own music video that will make my music video more engaging and of a higher quality.

Learning Comment:
This extra research has given me more inspiration on the types of techniques that I can use when filming my own music video. These techniques will allow my video to be of a high quality, creative, engaging and will make it stand out from other music videos.

Fashion and Props Planning

Learning Comment:
From carrying out this planning task I have a clearer idea of what to include in my story board and more inspiration for the different shots and how to use the mise-en-scene effectively in order to portray the different 'identities' in order to make sure the audience understands the narrative.
By completing this task I have also become aware of issues I didn't know about before. As the identities are so different from each other the video may seem disjointed and clumsy, however from the planning I am now aware of this problem and therefore have decided to use a 'milk bath' in order to link all the different identities together and create a sense of synergy throughout the music video.

Lyrics Analysis

Learning Comment:

From analysing these lyrics I am now better to able understand the meaning behind the lyrics, that explaining that the protagonist moves on when she becomes bored. I have decided to represent the lyrics in my music video through an illustrative narrative demonstrating the artist's personal conflicting and her struggle to find her own personal identity,
