Music Video Planning

1. Location:
We will be filming in a few different locations. One place we will be filming at is the beach at sunset. Another would be at one group member's house on the trampoline as well as in front of the canal there. Some more locations we would film at would be a field at a local park and at another group member's house inside.

2. Health & Safety:
We will have parents present at most locations to make sure we are safe and if something happens we will have someone there to help. Most likely our parents will be driving us to the locations and we will be wearing seat belts. We'll notify adults when we are filming on or using the trampoline so if we injure ourselves we can easily get help.

3. Props:
One prop we would use would be sunflowers for a specific line in the song. For a dinner scene in the video, we will be using silverware and food. Some more props we would use would be objects to make a silhouette in the sand at the beach. We would also need a blanket for another scene there as well as for the field. We will also need menus and things to make a room look like a restaurant.

4. Costumes:
Our costumes change often depending on the scene and what's going on. In our first trampoline scene, the character is wearing pants and a shirt but fairly loose clothing so movement can be shown when she jumps on the trampoline. For a scene of her looking at the sunset as well as a fancy dinner scene, a semi formal dress is worn, then transitions to comfy clothes like sweatpants and a basic shirt for when she's eating at home with fast/microwave food. For an argument scene, the character is wearing everyday clothes as well as for when they make up. For the sunflower/final scene the character will be wearing the same semi formal dress worn for the dinner scene.

5. Schedule
This blog as well as one about storyboarding is due 11/21. My partner and I checked out a camera for the weekend and plan to film at least some of our music video 11/24. On 11/25 we have our first filming blog due and then our second due 12/2. If we don't finish filming all in one day, we are planning on filming again on our thanksgiving break, which will be anywhere from 11/26 to 12/1. The video is due 12/6 so I am confident that we will have enough time to film and edit.
