Here we created a photo board with shot ideas showing our shooting locations and ideas for the narrative shoot. We included potential shots that we wanted to do for each scene and what the model will be doing in those shots, this was helpful as it has given us a clear structure of what we need to shoot for our narrative. We can keep looking at this throughout our shoot to make sure we are doing all of the shots that we have planned. Cinematography is key to making sure your music video is exciting to watch and not just filmed in a mid shot throughout as this would be very boring to watch.

The type of shots use are also very important as to how the star image is portrayed in the video as without close ups the audience doesn’t get to interact with the facial expressions of the model and same goes for having a music video without long shots the viewer cannot get a true idea of the stars costume or body language.

Editing is also obviously a key part to a successful music video although in order to be able to edit well we need to make sure we have a range of well filmed shots to edit with, to make sure that we are happy with our footage after the shoot it is important that we shoot every scene at least twice so that we have more of a chance of coming back with good footage.

Focusing forward this task was very beneficial to giving us an exact idea of what we need to film for our narrative shoot and a structure of the precise shots we want of the model for each scene.
