Filming Schedule

I plan to film my video over the time of two weeks, this is due to my band that will be in the music video as all of them are available at different types. This allows me to film each section at a time; while also allowing me to edit my music video, using different techniques.


20\11\15-First of all, due to the genre of my music video being indie pop, the bands performance would be a key part in a lot of sections of the song I have chosen. Therefore I decided I should film this section first due to it being a key feature and also being able to get all the band together at one time. Also this part in the song will take the longest due to having to film many different shots of the band and of the instruments and making sure the band stay serious and focused. This scene will be in the at home garage

21/11/15-I will then film the parts of Talia where she is on her own lip syncing, I will film in a variety of different places such as: her bedroom, outdoors road\park. This is to convey her being a fun member of the band as she is the most important due to being the lead singer. These shots may also take up a lot of time due to outfit changes, changes of location and camera shots/movements. Therefore I will film this on the weekend as it gives me plenty of time to film.

25\11\15 -Then I will film Talia and Nathan, I will film the parts that portray them to be in a happy relationship at first as these bits will be the shortest due to it only being portrayed as this at the start of the song. Then after that, I will film the couple in my house, to show the now relationship between the singer and her ex boyfriend. Therefore due to filming happy and sad parts of the relationship it will display contrast and also represent the lyrics through the visuals. I will first film the couple looking happy in a quirky location such as a park, then I will film them not getting along in my house to create realism. I will also film Talia throwing a picture frame on the floor to represent their relationship failing. I will film this on a weekday after sixth form.

30/11/15 - Due to there being a need for a lot of close ups of the main singer, I will film Talia in various locations to create a quirky\unique feel to the music video, while also portraying her to the target audience. I plan to film against a gate to create an urban and cool feel I will use low and high angle shots in these scenes.

5\12\15 -The last scene I will film will be of the band in different quirky locations, therefore places like a park or a field or a strangely lighted room, this is to create a band identity and also to make the audience see them as a fun band that they want to be or be friends with. I will get many different shots such as close ups of each band member and the instrument they are playing, while also getting mid shots of the bands clothing to show they are a indie band.
