First Brief

This is our first rough outline for our music video before we go into more depth about the storyline and shots:

In our music video we will feature 4 'characters.' We will show clips of their everyday lives (or certain events) as well as extreme close up shots of the singer (identity  remaining a secret for now). Will show each character put on masks or other 'super hero' attire - suggesting they are not just ordinary. At one point we will see one of the characters change and is now perceived to be more like a villain. All the heroes come together against the villain who ends up being the singer throughout the song. After/During this, the before extreme close ups of the singer will now reveal her whole face.

Preliminary Task



In a group we created a comical chase sequence as a basic practice of filming before we move on to our own projects. We each had a try of positioning the camera and directing shots. After editing we discovered some mistakes such as a smudge on the lens - from this we can learn and develop our skill for future film work.
