Shot list

This is our shot list for our filming, they match with the shots on the story board.
This will help us see what type of shots we need and where we need to film, this will help us plan our day and help with our filming.

Story Board

These are the Story boards for our music video.
we have produced a story board to show what we plan to do in our music video and this will help us when we are filming because we have already planned what we are filming.

Call Sheet


WE have produced a call sheet so that we have a plan whilst filming, this means that we will be able to plan how we will film and and this will help our process be more efficient and our filming should be how we want it.

Lighting Techniques



What we learned from this video was that it is vitally important to test positioning of the lighting to gain the best effect. These different light positioning could be rim light, which is intended to lighting up the performers face. Also positioning the lights behind the performer blocks out the details of the background wall and allow the lighting to focus on the performer more.
Also the light brightness can have substantial affect on the way the performer is seen, the brighter the light the more light shown on the artist and the less the light the darker they are seen.
It is also vital to move the camera in different places and positions so the lighting is not fixed on one certain place of the performer, and to create different shadows and effects.


Techniques when filming at night


We watched a tutorial on ways we can use light effectively when filming at night as our music video will be filmed at night and in a dark setting.




From watching this video we have learnt that to get the best effect with the light we need a very bright source and cover it to make it less harsh. The positioning of the light needs to be front on around the eye lid level in order to get good shadows and a rim line. As well as using a portable light source we will also make the most of the lighting that is already present, for example street lights and shops.

We also have the idea of using a cars headlights behind the artist to give the video a professional outlook.

Ancillary Text Ideas


For our magazine advert we had the idea of having our artist sitting alone in an empty place, expressing his emotions. We were thinking about the colour scheme of blue and white because it links in with title of the song 'Froze'. Also blue is an emotional and cold colour.

For our digipak we are going to have a panoramic photo of our artist sitting at the bus station at one end of the bench and the rest of the bench being empty.

Risk assesment

We have produced a risk assessment so that we can think about the risks when we are filming and how we can stay safe whilst filming, this will help filming run smoothly.
