Production Log - Reviewing my initial idea

In today's lesson I tried to complete my second script for the song 'Disguise' by Tyrants, however I found it difficult to construct a script as coming up with an idea for the narrative was quite difficult. Therefore, I have decided to go with my first idea and use Christina Perri's song "A Thousand Years". I came to this conclusion after reflecting on how natural it felt when coming up with the idea for that script which depicted that I had a clear thought of how I wanted that video to look, therefore I hope it will turn out as realistic as possible.

I will now carry on creating the shot list for my first idea and once that is finished I will create the storyboard. For my storyboard, I will sketch out my ideas then commission one of the Art students to draw it out again for me in order to ensure that the storyboard is easy to follow when filming the video.
Once the pictures have been drawn, I will take my actors on location and take photographs of each stage too and add them onto the storyboard before annotating it and writing the description.

To create the storyboard I will use a program called  Celtx which I also used to create the script. This will ensure that the storyboard looks as professional and realistic as possible, which in turn will help me and give me more focus when shooting the video itself.

 

I am aiming to have both of these documents completed before we leave for the summer holidays, therefore during the summer I will be able to get footage of the location and inform the actors as well as hopefully record the video for the first time. This will allow me enough time to edit the video and give me the flexibility to re-shoot any scenes if need be. Recording over the summer will also ensure that I have enough time with the actors to shoot for as long as it takes.
