Shot List/Script

Floor Plan

                                                       



This is a birds eye view of my floor plan in the drama studio. I will be using three studio lights and blinkers, illuminating the artists' faces with light and the blinkers  would emphasize the band's performance, giving it a concert aspect. I will be using Steadicam as well as the tripod to create diverse camera angles and shots on my subjects by  panning the shoot.

Audience Feedback

I think that audience feedback is essential, it enables me to improve my music video to the best it can be. The audience would have a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of my music video from an outside perspective.

Animatic

The animatic video of my storyboard was created on Adobe PremierePro. This was done before the production of my music video allowing me to constantly refer back to it, when producing my music video to ensure that I am on the right basis. I had to draw out every single frame and scan it to the computer.

Storyboard




I created a storyboard to plan in preparation of my music video, to how my music video would look like visually. This would help me when I shoot my music video, as I can refer back to my storyboard to know exactly what I want to do. With the exact camera angle, and mise-en-scene on display. Also, knowing what transition to use would help me when it comes to editing my music video.

Editing Images

I took a picture of my dream catcher using the Canon DSLR 550 SD camera. I knew a dream catcher would be a good image to associate the album's name with, 'Talking Dreams'. Also, dream catchers are commonly used within the Indie genre. Before importing my image on Adobe InDesign I wanted to Photoshop it to make it look like an illustration. I placed the JPEG in Adobe Photoshop.


I pressed, select and then colour range to get rid off the background of the dream catcher. I had to click on the dark shadow, and then the plus sign to get rid off more dark shadows which allowed me to select only the image of the dream catcher.


I pressed 'ok' on colour rage and it selected the dream catcher in the image only.

I then clicked the 'Quick Mask Mode' which turned the selected image red.

I clicked the eye on the main image layer, so the eye dissapears, getting rid off the background and only leaving the red image of the dream catcher.
