Editing plan

For our music video we will be using adobe premier pro and after effects to create are video and apply titles. we will be using Photoshop to design our magazine advert and digipak but may also be used in creation of the raw titles before they go in to after effects.

Costume planning

These are photos of the costumes we intend to use. They all keep with the theme of all black costumes that are used in all of our artist's videos and a lot of videos in the genre. The black costumes go with the mood of the video we are planning to make but also don't distract the viewer as much from the lyrics of the song and the artist in the spotlight or the lighting and effects. The denim material connotes biker culture and wrongdoing and I think this is why it is appropriate for our video.

Writing is by partner Toby Collis.

Dear XO Records,

My name is Aidan Harrison and I’m currently a sixth form student at John Cabot Academy, I am studying media studies for A2 and our project is to make our own music video. I am writing to you in request for permission to use your labels song and logo for the purpose of my video to help me create a video that clearly represents the genre. The songs use is purely for educational purposes and to reflect my chosen genre accurately, there will be no profits or credit generated from the final music video. The logo will be something we use in another part of the task were we have to design a Digipak and Magazine advert, it would really help convey the genre through the use of this logo as it is so highly recognized in the genre. Again neither of these will be produced and no profits or credits generated from the final result.

Yours sincerely

 

Aidan Harrison

Props list

We will be using car headlights as a form of hard lighting as we have been influenced by The weeknds video of Wicked games.

We will be using a spotlight in our shots to highlight the artist.

We will be using jewellery in our video to convey representations of wealth which is something common through the genre.

Depending on locations we may be using smoke bombs to interact with the lighting as well.
