Today my group and I planned for our music video. This was a little bit more tricky than planning the commercial. That is because there are more elements to a music video compared to a commercial. While you don’t have to worry about the dialogue in a music video there are other things to worry about. For example, a music video has to be twice as long as a commercial we have to make up dance moves to go with the video. The other reason the music video will be tricky is because of its complexity and how it will have to make it flow. However, having said that we are still looking forward to the music video. That is because although it is more complex it will be the second film that we will of created. Not only that, but my group and I have come up with some good ideas since the commercial that we are willing to test out in the music video. Especially some features in the editing field.
     However enough comparisons between the two projects. Let’s talk about the technical side and what we plan to do with the music video. For the music video we are planning on doing one continuous shot. We understand the difficulties in accomplishing that but we plan on pushing ourselves this project. However, we will be filming in a secluded place so there will not be that many outside distractions that will occur. Our lead singer will also be a women. This will help develop the theme of women empowerment. Even though in the actual video a male is the main character. That is an basic summary on how the music video will go. Now to the shots that we will be using.
     My group and I have decided to use a variety of shots. The shot that we will most likely use the most is the tracking shot. That is because the music video will be all one clip so there needs to be change somehow. Also we will use a tracking shot because the main character will constantly be walking and we need something to keep up with it. We will also use a pan to capture the establishing shot and all of the actors. The tilt shot will be used to introduce the main character. That shot will also be used again to help support the theme of that we chose. Other factors such as porops have also been chosen. My group and I have decided to go with regular clothing to relate to the ordinary person. The choice of props will also add to the theme. That is what my group has planned for the music video.
