Planning Documents

Shooting Schedule:

Here is our initial shooting schedule, allowing us to manage our time effectively and make sure that we get all the necessary footage which we need. It is important to plan out what is going to happen before going to shoot, as we can make sure we have all the props, costumes and equipment that we need and can get filming done quickly and professionally.

Photoshoot plan:

Here is our photoshoot plan, which we needed to plan out for our digipak and magazine advert. This included listing what props, costumers and locations that we needed, and allowed us to get our ideas down on paper so that we would not forget them on set.

Prop, costume and make up list:
Here are our final planning documents for our music video, which included listing the needed props, costumes and make up. This was used to make sure we were organised when going to film, and had thought carefully about our mise-en-scene in order to effectively create the image of a synthpop artist.

Coming up with the band name:

Here is an example of the process which we went through trying to come up with the band name, which we finally decided will be 'The Ka$h Mob'. This name was decided through using existing band names as inspiration, and following the conventions of a synthpop artist which would be fun yet individual and different.

Talent release form:

Here is our talent release form, needed in order to be able to film and photograph our actors for our final media products. This is a legal form used in professional media, which mimics the products we are trying to create through our A2 course.

Magazine Advertisement Draft.

Here is the first draft for my magazine advertisement for my artist.

This was further developed into this second draft, which appears more effective and will be used as my plan when creating the media product.

Costume, Makeup, Props & Equipment

Here is a video explaining our plans for the mise-en-scene of our video, including costumes, make up, props and equipment needed.


Equipment for our shooting will include:

• Video Camera
• Tripod
• Figrig 
• Storyboards 

Props we need will include:

• Leaves - for the forest scene
• Microphone & Stand
• Paint

CD Cover Design.

Here are our initial ideas and drafts of what could make up our final CD cover design, including images of the artists and other images which could be related to our genre of synthpop.

Location Permission

For our music video, we will be using 2 different locations specifically. Here is the permission slip for filming in Nonsuch Woods and the email to Mr Walsh about using PDH.

Photoshoot

For our digipak and magazine advertisement  we arranged a photoshoot with a male and a female model, representing Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris. For the first part of the shoot, I took photos of Sophie & Jack inside, with a blank sheet as a background, as to not complicate the photo and force the attention on the artist. For the next photoshoot, we plan to splash paint on Sophie, or 'Ellie Goulding', then take photos outside to demonstrate a more free and eccentric view of both the artist and the song which we are advertising.
