In todays lesson at coleridge, a uni student came in and gave us a presentation on how to create an outstanding music video like her ones. When she got given the music video project back in college, she and four other girls done a lot of planning to create this music video:
When I saw this video I realised how much effort her and her group must have put into it.
She then entered her music video into BBC Blast and won first prize. This ment that she would work with a team of professionals with a three thousand pound budget to create a music video and she would work as director. When she did this she worked with the 'Black Dog' company, who put her as director. Jasmine said that she would have liked to have been producer so that she would have been incharge of everything for example, the budget, everyone taking part in the video and also has power over the director.
In the process of making the music video she had to do the 'Treatment' which is basically the paper version of the music video. On the treatment you have to add such things as visuals, key words of the song, take quotes from the lyrcics, write about being in synch and get straight to the point of what you are going to do. One important note that I took from Jasmine is that taking references from other songs is not stealing, it's borrowing.
Here is the music video:
Shotlists and Storyboards:
The shotlist is something which shows the timings for the lyrics so that you know when certain words are going to come up. From this you can work out when and where you want each scene to happen. For the storyboard you have to try and make every key point accurate, big and clear so that the whole team understands what is happening.
A few tips from Jasmine:
"Make sure that you motivate your actors and be very specific when telling them what to do."
"Keep location to a minimum and only have 2-3."
"There are no limits to what you can do."
"Just go out and enjoy it."
