Music Video Draft 2

This is the first complete draft of my music video. From my previous draft, I have completed editing the entire song as well as changing some aspects from my previous draft. As well as finishing my video, I have changed the green screen scenes by adding the black and white effect as well as an antique effect to make it look more like a projector. However, I still believe these scenes need improving and I am not happy with the overall look yet. I always want to add some shots of other significant props such as a rose and a photograph of the couple. I will shoot these within next week, so I can perhaps add them to my video.

Production Diary

This week I have created my first full draft of my music video. During this process I continued to discover a wide range of tools within the programme Premiere, especially the ones regarding the green screen scenes. These proved the most difficult to edit as there was a lot more effects to be added/controls to be adjusted - the process is also much more time consuming however I am hoping the overall look of my video will be worth it.

As you can see from my previous draft, I have focused particularly on the green screen shots as these are the ones I have edited/changed the most by adding black and white effects as well as a vintage look. I feel this way the green screen shoots will fit in more with the overall theme of my video.

As half term is fast approaching, I am also taking this opportunity to film. By filming, I specifically mean any re-shoots as well as a small photo-shoots of images that may appear on my digipak and album poster. I already have strong ideas for both of these products, I simply just have to take some photos to complete my task.

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

Chelsea 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.
