Music video ideas

Male fantasy - people around main charter turn to ghost slowly and gradually they are left alone. Distancing themselves form everyone. At the end they notice they are alone. 

everything I wanted - a world where someone keeps getting trapped in nightmares. They get portaled into worlds every time they go to sleep. 

Mindmap

Having a mind mapped plan allows your ideas to expand and turn into ideas. This is such a great idea to do when you are struggling to come up with ideas. I love having a mind map as you can see everything about your music video on one page in a easily readable way. 

Production Proposal

By having this proposal you can make sure any ideas you have are accepted by your tutor and that you are doing the best you can achieve. It also helps you finalise your ideas while answering the questions allowing you to make sure you have thought every scenario through. This is basically the same as the Pitch but in written form allowing you to go back easily and recap on what your original ideas where.

Storyboard - Shot List

Having a storyboard allows you to visualise what your music video will look like before you even film it. I find I understand storyboards better than ideas being written down, so by doing this I can make sure that my actors can understand what they need to do easier as its laid out for them step by step. You can also see the camera angles I want, for example the medium close up of the person waking up. They can clearly see I want to see their facial expression as well as some of their body and surroundings so the audience can understand whats happening with the context given. 

Risk Assessment

The risk assessment is helpful as it gives you an idea of what to look out for when filming. This way we can be safe and finish the filming with no problems related to our safety. I find that writing this out before hand allows me to get a better understanding for the location as I am thinking of it in a safety way instead. 

Production Schedule 

A production schedule is really helpful as it keeps you on track and makes sure you can submit your work in on time. This way you can be seen as more professional as you are sticking to the right structure. I find these production schedules hard to follow but when I do it makes me fell more prepared for the production side of the music video project.

Call Sheet

Location Recce

The location recce is a very helpful form to fill out to make sure you fully understand your location and what could happen there. By answering the questions you can make sure you get the most out of filming there since you have scouted it out before hand. It also lets your tutor stay up to date with your progress and plans. 

Research Tracker

By doing this I can see what research was helpful and what wasn't and learn how to research for task like this better and more efficiently in the future. I can also get a better understanding on the research I used which will help me with answering the questions. 

Presentation Pitch

The pitch was very vague as I didn't have a solid idea when presenting but a a week or so later I decided to stick with the song Everything I wanted and expanded on the nightmare idea I spoke about. I was very nervous to present and it probably shows slightly but I got through it all and spoke about everything I needed to which was good. 

The two songs I spoke about were, Everything I wanted and Wish I was gay. These are both Billie Eilish songs so I only needed on research page for the artist. I put the research page at the start and then went into the song choices and ideas I have for them after that which allowed my tutor to understand more about the artist before hearing the songs. I played both songs as my tutor was not very familiar with them which allowed him to get a feel of the style. After that I explained my ideas for each song expressing the points for both and why one might be better than the other. The ideas I had started to come up with where linked to Billies demographic allowing it to fit in with her target audience as its creative and dark. 

I then wrapped it up and asked for questions where we discussed what idea could be better and what would be easier to produce.
