Your concept should now be taking shape. Choose a video each that is very similar technically to your idea to analyse. It doesn't have to be for the same genre as your track, but should be in the same style so that it can directly inform your concept. Submit as a post, this should contain:
embedded video
Shot by shot break down of key sequences - if there is repetition then it isn't necessary to do the whole video (length of shot in secs, framing, movement, key aspects of mise-en-scene, any creative transitions)
Choose 10 frames that could inspire your work and annotate to say what you like about them
Make sure you use lots of technical terminology. CLICK HERE for an exemplary post from last year
You could split this task up amongst team members. Visit your potential location and take photos to show the suitability of this location for an aspect of your production. Consider your print tasks too.
risk assess area - what potential hazards are there for you and equipment?
consider obstacles such as cars, people, animals?
Where are you going to put the camera, track, tripod etc? How are you going to incorporate movement?
What props would you need at this location?
What character blocking considerations would you have at this location?
How can you achieve technical excellence by incorporating movement into your music video? Comment on how you are planning on achieving this: Using the jib or track, dolly set up, steadicam or handicam can be ways of doing this. Include clips of your own practice, other music videos which incorporate movement in a way you would like to emulate.
Tourist - Run – great camera movement / jib shots / birds eye view / slo mo
Chet Faker –
Gold – tracking/dolly shot – one take
Great use of Close ups
Skrillex - Summit - close ups / representation of teenagers / split screen / pro filmic effects
Outcome: Group blog post, clip of own practice using jib and
track, example of music videos, 6 frames of storyboard showing movement (drawn or stills). 6 frames of different close ups H/W: improve moodboard - task 2
