Production Plan for my own Music Video

Instead of jumping straight into filming my music video I am going to stick to my production plan; the dates will be very close to each other therefore I'll be giving myself deadlines which I will be sticking to. Following the production plan I will be taking photos and uploading them to my blog to show evidence of my research and findings.

I will be going to my protagonists' house to choose the costumes which he will be wearing throughout the music video, and to see whether there are any pieces which will need to be bought which can help him fit into the role I want him to play. 

Due to the location of my video being inside and outside a house I will be using my protagonists bedroom for one shot, as the mise-en-scene used within this shot will created verisimilitude as if it were filmed in my room it would be obvious that the male protagonists wasn't in his 'male' room he would be in a females room. To show evidence of my findings I will need to take several photos of the room and concentrate the most on where my shot will be taken. 

If there are any pieces which need to be purchased, I will be writing a list and then purchasing everything on that list at a later date when I have sorted through the props needed.

Every bit of research and findings will be posted into a new post. Each post will include their own title and the date following it.

Due to me basing my music video on a council estate, on this day I will be walking around the area which some of the shots will be filmed and taking photos of each area which I believe will be suitable to film in. 

I will be uploading all images to Prezzi and using Go.Animate to show my decision on which area I am planning on filming in.

Take photos of where the shots will be taken exactly, not only will I have a direct path on where my filming is going this slight exercise will help me with my storyboard when I develop it later on. I'll be showing these images through a web presentation software - Empressr. 

Create a plan of all the props/costumes which will be needed, whether they're used or not. I'll be scanning the plan onto my laptop and uploaded it onto blogger. Once I've created this plan I'll be gathering all the props which I have already and taking photos of these, to show my findings all images will be uploaded onto Pinterest. I will be writing a list of the props/costumes which need to be purchased.

Film some of the shots which would be classed as 'easy' which then helps to focus on the shots with the protagonist and other cast members. 

I'll also be researching into how much some of the costumes will be to purchase, for example the police uniform. Also, I'll be looking into whether it's cheaper to purchase or hire these costumes, however if this isn't applicable I'll plan on making the costumes myself.

Film shot 2 as this will take some time setting up the exact places where the cast member has to stand. 

Due to have a driving lesson on this day it will be difficult for me to do anything creative to do with the filming as I'll be interrupted.

Purchase all the props/costumes which will be needed for the filming, if it's necessary purchasing the fabrics to create the police uniform if it's too expensive to hire/purchase.
