As we started planning the music video, we thought it would be a good idea to print out the lyrics and work out locations, types of shots and timings for each lyric sung.
Locations
We decided that several locations would need to be used in the music video to help create a narrative as well as feature the singer in a separate location to keep the focus on her.
Key
WR: White room
F: Field
BR: Bedroom
LR: Living room
A: Attic
L: Landing
S: Street
H: House
DW: Drive way
We thought that these locations would be easiest to film at as they are readily available to use and there is enough space for us to film in. The white room would be used as the location where the singer is the main focus and it pulls the audience away from the narrative which is where the other locations focus on. There are both interior and exterior locations that we are gong to film at which can create a life like narrative but it may also become an issue when filming due to the differences in lighting.
Types of shots
In music videos, lots of different shots are used to help show emotion within the lyrics as well as helping to develop the storyline of the video. Therefore we decided that different shots need to be filmed including different angles so that when we edit, we can decide which shots look best and fit the music and lyrics better.
Key:
WS: Wide shot
P.O.V: Point of view
ECU: Extreme close up
LA: Low angle
W: Wide shot
T: Tilt
CU: Close up
MOA: Match on action
MC: Medium close up
L: Long
M: Medium shot
HA: High angle
P: Pan
Timings
It is very important that the timings are correct during a music video. The singer will need to lip sync the lyrics when we film and then when we edit the music and lyrics would be placed over the top of the footage, therefore it must all match up. We thought it would be best to write down the timings of each of the lyrics/ verses as well as many music breaks and use this to help make a schedule of what we film.
