Preparation for filming

Last lesson we finalised our ideas for the location for the shooting of our music video.

We decided to shoot particular scenes in wimbledon common as it has parts which are very similar to a forest.
Another location we agreed on was Chelsea Embankment. We chose this part of London and of the river Thames because the landscape is the sort of feel we wanted the music video and the song to have. Another reason being the pretty lights the bridge has at night, we thought this would make the video a little bit more special and pretty.

Particular scenes of the video (the first and last scene) we decided to shoot in a studio with a white background. Thankfully our school have a small photography studio and have agreed to let us use it for these scenes. We will also be shooting one or two scenes in a house, in a living room or kitchen, which is still yet to be decided.

Prop list: Video camera (to test out, if we do not like the quality we will be using a canon slr camera)
Tri-pod
Colour filters (for first and last scene)
Speakers
iPod
Clothing: Our leading actress will hopefully be wearing quite casual clothing with a bit of an edge to it. For example, take these models:

. This has a very autumnal feel to it, which is the excat look we are going for. It's casual, but at the same time fashionable and a little bit edgey.

In some of the other scenes the actress will also be seen in a floral dress similar to the left.
Now all the planning has been done we're going to hopefully be filming tomorrow, and hopefully it will be a nice and sunny day!

Final stage of planning

Once we all individually came up with a moodboard of all our ideas, we went on to do our storyboarding. at first we did one as a group, putting all our ideas together, later on i went and added my own bits to it and presented my ideas to the group. whilst doing so, i also came up with options for the locations, as did the rest of my group.
Over the past week, the storyboard has changed a little bit as we realised that what we had planned was a little bit too pretencious and that we needed to be professionals to pull something like that off.
Below are pictures/examples of our planning, and how we our ideas changed and eventually progressed into our final plan for the music video:
