Planning for my Music Video

 The song title for the music video project is Rich Girl and it is performed by Gwen Stefani and Eve.

Props

Throughout this project, I plan on using the props of fake money, shopping bags, and other accessories that seem luxurious. The props used will add to the story line of the music video, as several of the scenes will be of what the actor imagines they would do if they were wealthy. I am not completely sure of what all will be included within the video, as I have not made a storyboard, but these items are some of the general objects that will be used as props within the music video. 

Costumes

The clothes worn by the actors within the some of the scenes throughout the music video will consist of casual or lazy clothes. I plan on having the actor transform from a normal, casual lifestyle into being a millionaire, as the premise of the music video is that the actor is imagining what they would do if they were a millionaire. Clothes within this scene, or scenes, will include jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts, or plain/casual t-shirts. Socks may be worn as well in order to add to the casualness of the outfit. In addition to these clothes, luxurious clothes will be worn as well within the portion of the video where the actor is transformed into a millionaire. Examples include dresses, two-piece sets, and other outfits that look as though they are expensive. As the plot of the music video is the actor imagining possessing a large amount of money, the costumes worn need to look as though they were bought with a large sum of money. Shoes that will be worn must match the outfits and, again, look as though they are expensive. Accessories such as earrings or necklaces will also be worn, depending on the jewelry available to borrow from my mother. Overall, the costumes worn must coordinate and fit with the story line.

Schedule

On 11/13/20, I will select the song to be used within the music video and decide whether I will pair up with any group mates.

On 11/15/20, I will research common elements and conventions used within the pop genre of music videos.

On 11/17/20, the planning of the music video will be performed, scheduling elements such as the props, costumes, schedule, location, and backup plan.

On 11/19/20 and 11/20/20, the storyboard for the music video will be drawn, allowing for a sketch of what will be included within the video.

On 11/21/20, filming will begin for the music video.

On 11/28/20, editing will undergo for the music video and will make sure that each scene is in the correct order as well as adding the song over the video.

Location

The music video will be filmed within my home, specifically my bedroom, and perhaps several other places as well. As I mentioned previously, I am not exactly sure of what each scene within the music video will entail, but I do know that part of the music video will be filmed within my bedroom. Scenes within the mall may be included as well, but I am not yet sure.

Backup Plan

If I choose to film at the mall, where safety precautions will be followed, there may be too many people at the portion of the mall where I want to film. If this happens, I will move to a different part of the mall, specifically the northern part of the mall where there are various hallways that are ideal for a scene of me walking or carrying shopping bags. If the mall that I go to is closed I plan on filming within a mall or shopping center that is close by to the mall that I was previously going to go to. The other mall is not as spacious as the mall I would have gone to, but would suffice for the music video. If my brother or family members are not able to hold the camera,  and I decide to act within the video, I will prop my phone on a stable surface such as a table and set the camera on a timer to start recording.
