Planning Blog

The location for our music video is my house. I choose to do this as the location because our story line takes place at school. Since we are not allowed to film at school we can set up desks and chairs to look like a school setting. We will be filming in my backyard which has a pool. For our health and safety we will have a flotation device near in case somebody falls into the pool. We also all know how to swim in case of an emergency. We also have a first aid case if anyone trips and falls outside. We have water so we do not get dehydrated when we are outside. Our video is very safe and we are not using any weapons or doing anything that is dangerous. The safety precautions are very general.  

For our props we will be using folding tables and chairs as desks in a classroom. We will also be using stationary such as pens and paper. In  addition we will be using a cell phone as one of the props. We will be using very little props in the video. For our costumes we will be wearing everyday clothing such as jeans and t-shirts. Since we are simulating a school scene by wearing normal clothing we will be able to show the school setting more convincingly. By having intense costumes would take away from the school effect that we are trying to create. Since no one generally wears intense clothing to school. 

Our final music video will be submitted on December 9th. But in between now and then there are many things we have to do before the final product is ready. Today the 18th of November I am doing the planning blog.  Next class I am doing the storyboard for the video. We are filming the video this weekend. After we film we will have to edit. The editing process will take a few days. Next week is also Thanksgiving break so I am trying to get as much as I can done this week so I do not have homework over my break time. In addition after every step in the process I have a blog due. The planning blog and storyboard blog is due on Thursday the 21st of November.
