Preliminary exercise: Research and planning

 1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

Till I collapse by Eminem

2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene.

3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project.

Start from 00:51 with

Scene1: In bedroom under the bed having tired expressions struggling to get up with dull lighting.

Scene 2 : Gets up - puts on shoes and starts to get ready and then puts on head phones 

Scene 3 : transitions to him running out of door and start running having desperate and motivated facial expressions

Stop at 1:51

4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative filmmaking but the same format can be used for any video project). 

• Shot under blanket - long shot 
• Shot sitting on bed - medium shot then closeup to face
• Zoom in on shoes being put on - sponsor
• Stand up jacket on - medium 
• Blank screen for a second
• Running out the door - medium close up
• Then running down street - medium shot into long

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting. 

Settings- bedroom and street

Costume - Nike running shoes , Nike jacket that creates an athlete look.

Make Up - Not in use yet

Props - Not in use yet

Lighting - Dull lighting inside and natural outside

6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange. 

For acting only I am required in this clip but I need a cameraman. I will need a camera that will record the dark also I need steady camerawork when running. It will be record later this week in my bedroom and my street.
