Amy Dixon A2 Media Studies: November 2010

I decided to do an in-depth plan , to help me along the way of making my music video.

Here is the first plan for my story-board it shows a house ( establishing shot) of the girl getting up and some flash-backs of the girl and boy having fun together

Here is the next few shots of the girl getting, up and opening curtains for the start of a new day. on this plan I have shown her brushing teeth, In my completed music video, I have got more shots of her depressed on her bed and eating chocolate etc. This is because I thought the brushing teeth would not look as good.

Also , as you can see on the story board, I have crossed out things where I have changed ideas, half way though the making of my music video, I did not stick to this plan as I was coming up with better ideas.

Here are some shots of the studio girl and more of the girl getting ready. I also for the ' Its stopped raining part' I plan to have girls dancing with umbrellas and have special effects with rain.

On this plan there is more shots of the studio girl. I also planned to use a freeze frame ( hp technique) of the girl taking a freeze frame out of the window but I decided it would not look as effective as a face so I included this later on.

I did not actually stick to any of these shots in my Music video. For example, the sun set rising, the shot of london town and the girl walking on the street.

here is the further plan through out my music video. Again I have made various changes. ( the crossing out)

Here I stuck to the lip plan of the glittery lips. However, At the time, I did not know I could do the Sun ray effect I did on After effects.

Here I plan to have the girl rushing through doors and rooms and someone playing a piano. ( to match the music)

Here I plan for the girl and boy to bump into each other and reunite and make up.

In my music video, I change the setting to a park, whereas in my plan it was a plan. But my actress and actor were worried about doing this in a town.

On this page, there is mainly different shots of the girl singing. The stars which I have put in some post it notes mean studio.

In these shots, I am planning to have the boy and girl making up and having fun to her. For example, her trying to put paint on him , laughing, and shots of her singing in the studio and bedroom. I also want to include her taking a freeze frame of the boy.

For these shots, I want to include the girl texting the boy preparing for a night out while at the same time they are out together sitting down and having a picnic. I plan to prepare a table full of cakes and sweets.

For these shots, I again plan to use lips with glitter but four to a screen instead of one. I also plan for the boy and girl to kiss. To keep the constant idea of paint, want to paint a love heart on a stomach around the belly button. I also want more shots of the boy and girl having a picnic together.

In these shots I plan to have the boy pulling silly faces to the camera with cakes. I also plan to film the boy and girl holding hands. I also want to film the boy and girl laughing to show that the music video will be a happy ending.

In the Shot, I plan to have one of the characters drinking to link with the lyrics " A celebration"

Towards the end of the music video I plan to include fireworks and the sunset. I also plan to film cars on a motor-way at nighttime to capture all the lights from the cars, I think this will look very good. I also plan for the boy and girl to hold hands and run away from the camera( in day light). I also plan for the girl to take another frame of the boy.
