IMAGES

Here are some images of the location we are going to be filming the video. We filmed in our college just outside of the buildings near a landscape area, similar to the original music video.

Here are some images of the filming process.

 FINISHED PRODUCT

During the whole process of filming and editing I was off due to illness meaning I could not take part. However, from being in the last editing process and talking to members of my group when I got back, I've took a lot of things into consideration and also learnt about the process, including issues that can occur.

ISSUES (THOUGHTS)

There is always minor issues that can occur whilst making a music video. Before we began, I had thought about problems that could may be effect the overall product. One of these were planning, it is important to plan everything your going to do before you do it and create a schedule. This includes times and dates so the whole group can meet etc, and to ensure that you have enough time to film everything you need to before editing.

WHAT WE DID

Firstly we got into a group of four which included Hannah, Mark, Jasmine and myself. Due to members being off, such as myself, my current group combined with another group. The first decision was to decide who's storyboard we were going to use, our final decision was "Florence and the Machine - Rabbit Heart" which I was pleased about as I'm creating a music video for Florence and the Machine on the main task so I was looking for some inspiration. They was a schedule created, in which we worked out when all the group members would be available to work on the product in their frees, lessons etc. The schedule also consisted of when things needed to be done and by when in order to keep on track with the work and make the deadline. Along with the schedule we also planned a "Prop and Costume" list, "Allocated roles list" and also the cast list to decide who would be playing the role of what. Images were taken of the location we were going to film, this was green land around our college behind the building similar to the one in the original video.
