Planning: Final idea

Artist: SZA ft Kendrick Lamar
Song Title: Babylon
Genre: Hip Hop/ Soul

I have chosen the artist SZA as she is a diverse artist. We chose the version of the song that features Kendrick Lamar as he is quite a mainstream artist, This allows us to appeal to both a mainstream audience and a more diverse audience.
We have chosen this song in particular as it tackles themes such as suicide, trusting people and feeling alone. These are themes our target audience being teenage girls and young women can relate to.
We have chosen this genre as it falls between the hip hop and soul genre. This makes it appeal to more than one group of people.

Video Content:
Our video will contain  3 different scenarios. One of them showing a young couple having relationship problems. One showing a girl at prom being bullied.  And one showing a teenager who is a young carer.
We have been inspired by Destiny's Child' video for the song "Emotions"  where they tell 3 different narratives thought using different editing techniques such as split screens.

Video Structure:
We have decided to make our narrative and performance based as we want to tell a story as well as showcase star image.

Planning: Lighting and Colour

As a group we have decided on two videos to match our lighting and two videos to match our colour.


Lighting = Jhene Aiko

We will be using lighting similar to this on our star. She will be in a dark room with a torch light above her creating shadows.


Lighting =

For our collage girl we will be filming her walking on the street at night. We will be using lighting from street lamps and natural lighting.


Colour = We found love

 

For our scenes with our couple we will be using lighting that you would find in a house at night such as lamps, tv lighting ect.

  

 

Colour =   Rihanna ft Justin Timerlake - Rehab

 

 

Some of our shots will freeze and the colour will turn to black and white, for example in Kendrick Lamars verse when the couple are fighting.

Planning: Production roles

Camera Operator: Jordan
We chose Jordan to be camera operator as he had this role last year plus experience prior to that and he is very confident in operating the camera.

 Producer: Lashane
We have chosen Lashane for the role as he had this role last year and kept us organised and did a good job of making sure we were always on task.

Director: Chardelle
I am going to take on the role of director again this year as I developed my leadership skills and I am able to carry the team and make sure all the best ideas will be used effectively.

Lighting Manager: Jordan
Jordan was chosen as lighting manager this time as both me and lashane are acting in our production and Jordan will be controlling the camera, so it would be more convenient for Jordan to be the lighting manager. Plus he does have relevant skills and experience dealing with lighting in productions.

Location Manager: Lashane
Lashane will be the location manager as the locations will be at his house or in the area that he lives in so he has the most knowledge of the locations we will be using.

Costume, Hair and Make up: Chardelle
I will be taking on this role as I have the most knowledge and experience with costume, hair and make up so I would be most suitable.

Storyboarding: Chardelle
I will also be taking on the role as story boarder since I am the director it is most appropriate for me to be in charge of the storyboard and make sure we follow it.

Editor: Jordan
Jordan will be the editor as he has the most skills and experience in editing out of the group and he did a good job last year so we think its best for him to take on this role again.

Photographer: Lashane
Lashane will be the photographer is he has the most experience in photography and would be the most comfortable fulfilling the role.

Print Designer: Lashane
Lashane will be the print designer as he is also the photographer so it makes him most appropriate as he has a clearer vision on how best it would look.


We all have equal amounts on roles and we all have 2 big roles each to make sure we have equal amounts of work loads and that everyone is focusing on different roles so everything is in place and runs smoothly.

Planning: Post production paperwork

Location release form

This is important as permission can be needed to
film in certain areas. For example, we needed the councils permission to film in the park.

 

Client Release agreement

 This is important because we needed each person who starred in our production to be sure of what it was we were asking them to do and to have their consent to be filmed.

 

 

 



 

 

Risk Assessment

 

This is important because it allowed us to identify any risk that may have occurred and allowed us to find ways to prevent them from happening. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Production Schedule

 This is the overall timetable of all filming. This is needed to ensure all cast and crew know where they are supposed to be and when.
