Music Video Planning

 

Props:

My music video is going to be pool/outdoor themed, so my props will match that theme. These will include sunglasses, a pool raft, a beach chair, and can or cup of soda.

Costumes:

For my costume, I will wear a regular bathing suit that goes down to my knees. I will also wear a beach-themed or tropical t-shirt to match the suit. In the pool scenes, I will only be wearing the bathing suit, since I cannot wear a shirt in the pool. The outfit will be accompanied by sunglasses, which I will wear on my head. In addition, I will wear flip-flops that are waterproof and suitable for the location.

Schedule:

11/12/21 - I researched conventions of music videos in the genre that the song fits into.

11/16/21 - I established my plan for the props, costumes, schedule, location list, and backup plan for the music video.

11/19/21 - I will create the storyboard for the music video and each scene within it.

11/26/21 and 11/27/21 - I will film the shots and scenes needed for the music video.

11/29/21 and 11/31/21 - I will edit the music video and add on the final touches.

Location List:

My main location for the music video will be the backyard of my house, where the pool is. Some scenes will be filmed on various parts of the pool deck. These scenes show the viewer that the outdoors are exciting and full of things to do and ways to relax. Other scenes will be showing me in the pool. This location is meant to encapsulate the vibrant feeling that the song creates.

Backup Plan:

If the weather is rainy or not sunny enough on the planned filming dates, then I will reschedule filming for another time. The planned backup dates for filming are 12/4/21 and 12/5/21, one weekend later. If the current cameraperson is unavailable on the planned filming dates, I will find a friend to come over and replace them.
