Planning Blog for Music Video

Today in my AICE Media Studies class, my group mate and I are planning for the music video project. During this class period, we were very productive and were able to established a solid plan for our music video. As Leila was typing on the computer, we were discussing the conventions we will be using in our music video. 

Location:
The primary location for this music video will be the dog park in Leila's neighborhood. Since the park is hidden and small, there are fewer people than usual. The main reason we used a park setting is we wanted to capture the innocent love of the subjects. In most films, the location of a romantic montage is at a park or in a meadow. We wanted to replicate it to emphasized the love. The second location for the music video is Leila's neighborhood/ street. We are going to use the neighborhood to film a tracking shot and be able to properly do a jump cut. This will help us create a passage of time. Also, Leila's neighborhood has a pretty, lavender bush. This will help have some symbolism for their love. If all things fail, our backup location will be another park. We don't have to ask permission for any of these locations because they are public places and one of the scenes will be on Leila's property. 

Health & Safety:
During our filming process we will have safety. For instance, while we film the tracking shots, we will look both ways for vehicles and pedestrians. Since we are planning for our actress to climb a tree in one of the shots, we will have a spotter to catch them if something goes wrong. If the actress has a sprain ankle, Leila's tia will be there because she has expertise in the medical field.  The last health and safety procedure we will follow is our hydration and maintain our blood sugar levels. Since we live in Florida and it is hot, we will bring water and food to hydrate and replenish our nutrition. This will prevent us from fainting or having a heat stroke. 

Props:
In our music video, the most important props will be the Honey necklace and the guitar. Others props we would like to include are a picnic basket, food (perfectibility honey), and picnic blanket. Minor props that will be include are a stool and a microphone. We are going to use the picnic props to illustrate a romantic picnic setting.  

Costumes:
The main subject will be wearing a white dress with red roses on it. She will also be wearing flats or nice sandals. The most important accessory apart of her costume is the flower crown. The flower crown will have white, red and yellow flowers. The reason why we wanted the flower crown to be these colors is the colors represent love, passion, friendship, and innocence. The second subject's costume will consists of a yellow cardigan, white shirt, jeans, and black sneakers. The yellow cardigan will literally represent the honey but, figuratively represent their sweet love.
