Today's lesson 20 October

Hi all,

I am off sick today. You should know exactly what you need to do to complete the pre-producion for your music videos.
The following needs to be done before you will be able to do any filming:



Treatment for the chosen idea. 
Storyboard
Make a list of the locations you need to use.  
Ensure you have permission to film in each location. 
Moodboard. 
Pitch to gain feedback with the use of a presentation - presentation of all pre-production
Timeline analysis of music track
Analysis of performers style and image in order to create a suitable music video for the performer
Make a list of the people needed for your video: cast and crew. 
Make a list of the equipment you need for your video. 
Complete a health and safety risk assessment for your video. 
Work out the budget for your video - theoretical budget based on if you had to buy or hire equipment





I will be checking the work that you do today, so no excuses.
