Music Video Productivity Log Autumn-Winter Term

Autumn-Winter Half Term;

For this video, we brainstormed various different ideas by listening to the song numerous times and writing up rough drafts of anything that came to mind.

We did this for about 1-2 lessons, and eventually came up with a final draft of our initial idea.

We also started to draw up different ideas for the cd cover and posters

We started to storyboard what ideas we had come up with collectively as a group to see what we felt would go well with the song we had chosen. This was still the first draft of the idea so throughout we were still continuously making adjustments and changes. We all talked about different possibilities of what could be used in our video, such as possible green screen effects for various parts of the sequence, the content of all the shots etc.


During the next week or so we were all working together to produce a more detailed time-line for our project. We wanted to plan out exactly what would be happening and when, without drawing the shots alongside. We did this as it would make it easier for us to create several draft storyboards based on a 'template' so we knew exactly when and how to do things.
Also we started to collate ideas as a group and attempted to create our initial storyboard. We completed our first draft by the end of the week, and we posted it on one of our blogs until a later stage

Throughout the rest of the term we filmed all the shots we could with the facilities such as the theatre and various classrooms throughout the college available to us, uploaded the footage we had onto the iMac we are using and began editing.
