Action Plan

I need to create an action plan as this will help me stay focused and show me what i need to do.

Moodboard:

For part of my research i am going to create a mood board of print screen shots from music video's in which i have got some sort of inspiration for that i could use in my own music video. For example i might print screen a certain location in a video that i could use in my own, or certain ways the video looks for example lighting behind it that i could adapt to an idea for my own. This mood board will help me to start thinking about what i am going to include in my video and it will help me to be creative by looking at all the different idea's that inspired me.

Research:

I am going to spend time researching different music video's that are already available and evaluate them. When evaluating these music video's it will show me and help me understand what works within a music video and what doesn't. I will be able to look and see what components often come up in different video's and what unique points different music video's use to be more creative and stand out from the others.

Audience Research:

I plan to gather some audience research as this will help me to look at other people's idea's and to see what they believe makes a good music video. I will show a selection of people individually and get them to watch a number of music video's and then make comments on the video as to what they liked about it and what they didn't like so much about it.

Plan:

After my research i need to create a production plan that will explain what tasks need to be done for the music video to start being made. The plan will put all my idea's together and will help me make my final decision on what exactly to do and how i am going to do it.

1) Research various music videos and ones from previous A2 students
2) Audience research into what types of music and videos the public enjoy.Possible questionnaire on music for public.
3) Think of possible song choices and look into the lyrics.
4) Post video of vox pop on blog.
5) Choose song.
6) Think of video story line and ideas.
7) Research into what characters/actors we would use in video.
8) Choose the actors we want in video.
9) Research various scenery and theme ideas.
10) Sort out the costumes
11) Start shooting some clips.
12) Edit the video
