Film and editing schedule

Filming and editing schedule 

My partner has created this filming and editing schedule. We sat down and planned the days we were available to film and edit from the current week in October, up until the end of January, with our actress. This will ensure we know what we are doing, and meet our deadlines, keeping us organised.

Contact with artist

We have emailed Alice Olivia, the female solo singer on YouTube, and asked permission for the song we will use to produce our music video. 

Mood Board

I have created this mood board as a collection of inspiration and images that we can creatively build upon. We can keep referring back to this blog post when in need of inspiration. We plan to capture shots/mise en scene similar to these photographs.

Music Channel research

It is important to create a music video suited to a specific channel in order to appeal to the target audience. This research will be beneficial for my final constructional when I decide how I will distribute my product.

Song choice

 

We have chosen to use this cover of Ed Sheeran's I See Fire, as we really liked the acoustic song, sub-genre Pop Acoustic, and Ed Sheerans style. However, our main character will be a female solo singer, therefore we needed a female voice. Our performer will lip sync to this cover, instead of the original to ensure the mouth movements match the exact song.

Initial planning ideas

We created a mindmap to show our initial planning ideas. Our brainstorms are beginning to come to life. We will look deeper into makeup, costume and mise en scene, and also practise editing and shot types. It is important to consistantly document our journey.
