Planning & filming for practice task

During the first week, we will create a short music video of our own, to a current track which can be Pharell Willams' "Happy" or Frozens "Let it go", or even a song of our own choice. In our group we chose to use Joey Badass' "Survival".



Within these first two lessons we began planning shots for the music video we would create for the song we have chosen, and then filming for the pre-production music video. We firstly decided to create a brief plan on what we intended to use in our production, and bringing together our creative ideas. Locations around college were used for our production and therefore the precise locations had to be chosen. For our song we decided to make it seem as if he is in a flight of stairs in flats.

We also decided on appropriate costume for the mise en scene of our production, a hoodie, trainers etc, which were chosen carefully as they are conventional for the type(genre) of song we had chosen to use, which was rap/hip-hop. We also aimed to get various different styles of shots for this; We decided we would use high angle, low angle, eye level, close up, medium and medium long shots. The reason we chose to use all these different types of shots was to ensure that we our music video looks more professional, as we see in actual existing music videos.
