In order to create narrative sense and structure throughout our video, it is important as a group that we created a detailed plan to follow during our shoot. Together we created a shot list and photo board that includes every variety of shot we intend on filming, it also includes the locations that we are going to film at as part of our narrative. By creating this, we will be able to focus on the MES and other important aspects of our shoot.

The idea of creating a narrative photo board it to help when it comes to editing. By listing what variety of shot angles and distances we need to film, we will be able to compile our footage together much more easily. A shot list will also help to ensure that we get multiple “money shots” of our actor in all our filming locations.

Our music video will be made up of four different narrative elements: a bedroom scene, a party scene, a car scene and a kitchen scene. When filming in these locations, we will focus on getting the main shots on our list and if we have time get any other shots that may be useful such as reaction shots, high angles, close ups and tracking shots. In doing this we are able to focus on the conventions and elements within pop that need to be portrayed throughout our music video. By having a wide variety of footage we will be able to follow our narrative structure during post production.

Focusing forward, we will be doing the majority of filming during the summer holiday, we will refer to our shot list to ensure that we have all the footage required when we return to school in september which will help to produce us to produce a music video of professional quality.
