Location, Equipment, Personnel organisationCharlie Henson

Location - House Parties We aim to use a variety of locations for our production, the reason for this is so

that we can have a range of different shots to use so the video doesn’t appear boring.

One of the locations we aim to use is a house party setting, we will be filming this ourselves on the night, it will be a realistic setting and will suit the genre of dance because of the energetic movements and partying that will be included in the shots. We aim to film these shots towards the end of October/beginning of November 2013, we will be using the Sony HDV 1000e camera as this captures high quality images and the location will be dark with flashing lights we need to make sure we capture good images for the video to be of a good standard.

Location - Brighton Another location that we aim to use is Brighton Pier, we have chosen this location

because it fits the typical stereotype of a dance music video with its bright lights and enticing rides. We think that the nature of the rides and the quality of the camera will enable us to capture high quality shots that will make our end product look more successful. The fact that will aim to film at night will enhance the effect of the surrounding bright lights, the reason we want to film at night is because we think that bright lights at night time is a suitable scene for a dance music video. We have emailed Brighton for permission to film on the pier and they have said that we can, we had arranged a date during the October 2013 half term holidays but unfortunately due to weather we were unable to travel and film, we are currently in the process of arranging another date to carry out the filming.

Location - Limo We have filmed footage inside a limo to use in our music

video, we think this would be good to include in our video as it emphasises the celebration/party theme which we are trying to create for our music video.

The occasion was for one of our group member’s birthday so it was the ideal situation to film in and didn’t require any permission from anyone else in order to do so.

There will only be a small amount of footage from the Limo used in the video because we don’t want to overuse the same scenery.

We hope to include footage of a recent day at the funfair, we feel this is something that is essential for our video because similarly to Brighton pier there are rides and when filmed at night can bring out the atmosphere we want to create for our video. Also, as one vibrant colours and bright flashing lights are one of the conventions for a pop video, we can include them in our footage which will ensure we are covering a key convention of the video.

Funfairs are a place where people are considered to enjoy themselves and be happy, this is the impression we want to give off in our video.

Location - Funfair

Equipment The basic essential equipment that we will need to use is the camera, tripod and

Apple Mac + software (for editing), other equipment could include props such as: Sparklers Flares Empty alcohol bottles (to stage the drinking of alcohol) Appropriate clothing for dance genre.

As we want to make our video look as realistic and natural as possible we don’t want to over-use props so instead we are choosing to limit the number of props we use.

This is an example of the camera we will be using to film

We aim to include sparklers in our music video

Personnel organisation There are four members of our group – Charlie, Cameron, Lauren and Shondell. We will all be involved in the filming and performing of the video, in addition to ourselves

being in the video we will also have friends and acquaintances appearing to make the content of the shots look more realistic.

This is the breakdown of what the role of the characters will be in the video: Lauren: One of the main focuses of the video acting as a party goer who enjoys the night life going to

parties and having fun with friends. Shondell: Another main focus of the video for similar reasons, she also likes partying and having fun with

friends going out whose actions will accompany the dance track music. Cameron: Also present in some scenes of the music video, but not as much as Shondell and Lauren.

When presented, Cameron is also seen to enjoy the nightlife and party atmosphere where present. Charlie: Similarly to Cameron, Charlie is only present at selected points of the video; he is also seen

however in these very few scenes to also enjoy the nightlife, this will further accompany the audio and dance track feeling to add a sense of euphoria to the audience.

Friends and acquaintances: Acting as extras in our dance track video for added effect, to further provoke a sense of euphoria which the audience will want to aspire to.

We will all be taking part in an equal amount of filming so that we can all gain the ability to film to a high standard and receive equal marks for the task.

Also, we will all be attending the different locations that we are filming at to ensure that everyone knows what they are doing and everyone can be involved in the performing and filming of the music video.
