Planning Blog

For our music video, there are five important considerations to take into account: location, health and safety, props, costumes and schedule. We intend to use various locations for our music video, the primary settings being Lauren's (a group member's) house and Sawgrass Mall. At Lauren's house, we intend to shoot the introduction to the film. The rest of the entire film will be at Sawgrass. We intend to use different sections and enter stores such as Hot Topic and Zumies. We will also be going to the food court and the outside outlet. In order to ensure that everything is legal and to have full access to the things we need in the mall, we will make sure to ask consent at the front to see if we can record. Health and safety isn't much of a concern, we don't intend to do anything dangerous of health endangering. Because of this, we will not be bringing much to ensure our health or safety. However, there are so many ways to get injured, maybe a pack of band-aids would come in handy. Additionally, should we drive we will be careful to abide by the rules of the road, including seat belts. Props will be whatever we have access to-- the clothes in the stores, the items in the background, etc. However, we intend to have makeup and a car in our film. Our clothes, like the location, will change with the placement in the song. We intend to wear casual clothes to Lauren's house, and as the music moves from the intro to the song, we will change from casual to something more extravagant. We will be doing this to compliment the theme of our music video. The last consideration is the schedule. Filming of the blog will begin on Tuesday; we’ll sign out the camera during 7th period to record after school. When school is over, everyone will travel to Lauren’s house where we will shoot the introduction. Should the weather go as intended, we will travel to Sawgrass where we will shoot the outside scenes, and then go inside to shoot the inside scenes. The time for eating as well as the time we intend to return to our homes has not been established, but it’s almost guaranteed to be before night fall. I am positive, especially considering our previous experience, that this filming process will be a tremendous success!
