Music Video Draft



This is my first draft of the first 2 minutes of my music video. As you can see, there is still a lot to improve. At the moment the green-screen scenes are not yet complete as I still need to add effects to give a vintage projection look as if the flashbacks are being shown on her body, as well as in the background. This is why you can sometimes not see both actors when they are behind the singer (when I finish my video, the audience will later be able to see them both due to the effects I later add). Furthermore, I still need to add an opening shot which is likely to be a photo of the couple.

Drafting my work will help me reflect back on my progress during the year and the amount of changes I make during the editing process of my video.

Storyboard













In my storyboard I have drawn and written what I would roughly want my final music video to look like. In my storyboard I have included my original ideas of the flashbacks and the painting however I may have changed some of these in my actual video and include more/fewer shots therefore my storyboard may not be an exact replicate of my final video. However this has helped me to visual my ideas and decide where I would like each shot to be placed within my video and how long each shot will last etc.

Risk Assessment



This is my risk assessment/ healthy and safety evidence, highlighting all the potential risks that could occur during the production of my music video. I feel this risk assessment will help me minimise any injuries that could occur and also prepare me for any that may happen. I feel it is vital to include an assessment like this, especially within a production task as big as a music video where other people and expensive equipment is involved.

Actor Release


My actor release clearly displays that my model (Vanessa) has agreed to the terms and conditions of appearing in my music video. This grants me permission to film her for the performances and other various scenes that will be included in my work.

Call Sheet



For my call sheet, I made a note of all the specific details of the various shoots I had planned. For example this included the locations as well as the times the shoots will take place. I also made sure I listed all the appropriate equipment so I wouldn't forget anything vital on the day. Moreover, I went into more detail about what each shoot would include as well as things I would have to prepare for beforehand- this included any time needed for setting up or getting my actors ready. I feel this will help me with my music video in a huge way as I can easily prepare for the shooting using this useful sheet.

Location Release



This is the location release I had to get my teacher to agree to and sign, before I started filming my music video in the locations listed above, such as the drama studio and the classroom where I had access to the green screen. This location release clearly states the different terms and conditions which I had to comply to in order to use the locations at my school and have access to them for part of my A2 coursework.
