Risk assessment

Attention should always be given in a way that helps to execute tasks with an acceptable degree of safety. We have thus listed some of the factors that we have to bear in mind whilst we are going about filming. 

We've also come up with solutions on how to tackle those situations.

Editing the music video so far

We ran into a slight problem where it turned out that the camera was filming a much wider vantage point than expected, thus we saw more than we wanted to. There was a picture on the wall, and you could see a hanger sticking out of the side. Fortunately, we were able to crop out the rest of the screen.

Props, costumes, settings

We finally did some filming that would be included in our first draft of a music video.

Here are some of the costumes that we will use:

Note that my trousers do not seem to go with the rest of what I am wearing. This is because we do not intend to have my legs visible in the shots we were intending to film. Practicality recommended that I keep on what I had already.

It was decided that we needed at least one plain background for me to lipsync to, so the back of this room (the plain blue wall) would've done the job.

Note the toys on the floor and on the table. 
We considered the following things:

• The upbeat nature of our song (despite what, at first, appear to be gloomy lyrics)
• The lack of an archetypal music video budget
• The need for a video that was sure to catch the eye of a new audience
• The band were not very popular; thus the objective was to create something particularly eye-catching and not cliche

We thus decided to perhaps utilize some of the toys, and perhaps generate a simulacrum of how a stereotypical break-up would be presented. The eye-catching part though, would be that this simulacrum would be re-enacted with toys.

Wallwisher

We have created a wallwisher - a different way of outlining what we have found out so far. This concerns things such as audience feedback, and the things which viewers could comment on such as our video drafts.

Here is a result of our audience research findings via our survey, put on Wordle:

Practice run at filming

Here is our first attempt at filming.

We didn't have much time and thus did not have much in the way of shots. However it has outlined things we will need to keep in mind during the actual filming of our song.





For example, we may need to utilise a monopod, which keeps the camera relatively still without the use of a steadicam, as they are not in the school's budget. The camera work is a bit shakey.

In addition to this we may need to move items around to create an appropriate mis en scene. We did initially move some items off the table and turn on the lights to help create a fun, bubbly atmosphere. However in hindsight we may need to move more things around.
