Today's Lesson

In today's lesson, I started to create a PowToon for the Recces. As I haven't been to most of the locations yet, I just created the outline of the powtoon to make sure I can easily add the information when i'm done. For the locations I have been to, however, I started to add information to them. 

 

Pre-Production: Costume, Props and Makeup Planning

As I have taken on the role of the stylist for the video, I have started to create an emaze outlining the costumes,props and make-up that the actors will have. As I am a creative person, and I like to visual outfit ideas, I started creating outfits with pictures of clothing from the internet (that I already have bought) instead of writing it out first:

From this, I started to place the images I had collected together, and then created outfits for each actor:

On the side, I created a slide for each location, with the slides in white portraying the visual outfits,props(relating to the outfit) and make-up and the slides in pink portraying the writing, and explanation about the outfits and why they were chosen:

Today's Lesson

In today's lesson, we were told what we had to do for pre-production. The list consisted of:
- Roles
- Storyboard
- Recces
- Costumes,Props and Make Up
- Risk Assessment
- Release Forms (Location and Song)
- Call Sheets

To make it easier, me and Sharay decided to split up the roles between us, taking 3 items from the list each:


We also created a Whatsapp group chat where we would hold our team meetings:

Audience Feedback To Treatment and Evaluation

Our audience feedback mainly consisted of telling us which music video idea was better and why. The people who answered said that both ideas were very good therefore I feel like we did well in articulating and presenting our ideas in both the writing and visual aspects. Initially, it seemed like there was a divide in terms of who prefered Side Crush and who preferred Bad Differences as we had a two-two divide. However, after the vote it was clear that Side Crush was the overall all preferred version.
Many commented on how Bad Differences seemed more planned out in terms of camera angles and theme therefore we have decided to use some of the shots we planned for Bad Difference for Side Crush, as well as placing a larger focus on making sure that Side Crush is very planned in terms of camera shots and angles and not just the theme of it:

Pre-Production

In this lesson, we began to plan our shots and scenes through the use of a storyboard and the lyrics. Instead of starting by drawing the scenes, we began by writing down the ideas we had next to the lyrics on the lyric piece of paper, and then putting it onto the storyboard so that we can easily visualise and then draw it. I worked on the lyric sheet whilst Sharay worked on the storyboard, but we came up with the ideas together:

To make our ideas neater, and clearer I decided to take a screenshot of the lyrics and place it on ThingLink, to then write the details on there in a fuller and clearer way. We decided to do something similar with the storyboard when its completed:
