Stage 1: Research and Development
This is when we will be making all the decisions about our video. Fist of all I will need to form a group with my classmates to work with. We will then need to get together and look at our ideas for the video and between us choose a track and an artist which is the best. We need to make sure that the song that we choose has not had a major video already done of it. After the decision has been made we will start to develop the ideas fro how we will treat the song in the terms of performance, possible narrative. I will then pitch the idea to the remainder of the class. This pitch will include how we are going to link the lyrics into the shots that we take. Information about the specific target audiences, our institutional context i.e major / indie record company. We will need to think about the history of our artist and about the current image that we want to portray in the video. We need to decide what the basic concept behind the video will be. What are we trying to say , do and promote. We also need to think about the ideological values behind our concept
Stage 2: Pre-Production
The pre-poduction of the video is all the planning and opreperation that we need to do to organise for the day of the shoot. This includes the following:
* Group roles list - Bertween us we need to decide who will be doing what role. (Director, producer, camera coordinator, chief editor, lighting designer, Studio floor manager, props coordinator, make up ect.) this is really vital that we do this because it means that on the day everyone will know what they are doing and it will be really organized and allow the shoot to run smoothly. Also it means that in the lead up towards the day everyone has their jobs to do and it is easier to get things done.
* Time line - This is a detailed timeline that illustrates how lyrics visual action coordinate.
* Storyboarding - We will need a full story board with all the technical directions, as previously instructed. (shot number, shot type, camera movment ect.). This is really important because on the day we will know what shots we need to get and it may help in the editing process. It allows us to have a really clear image in our heads of what material we need to shot.
* Floor plans - We will need bird eye sketches of the how we want our set to look. This is important so that the people who will be helping set it up have a good idea how we want it to look. They need to have rough measurements and show all light sources.
* Shooting schedule- This is a list of shots when they are to be shot.
* Equipment list- A list of all the equipment we need will help us keep organized.
* Props List- Like the equipment list it is important that we make sure that we have everything available on the day.
* Cast list- A cast list that includes digital photos of each cast member.
Stage 3: Production – The Shoot
For the shoot we will use all of our preparation that we have done. We will need a call sheet for the cast and performers a few days before the actual shoot. Everyone on the crew will each do their own role that they have been assigned however we will all take turns on the camera and directing as they are the things that we need to be able to do in this task.
Stage 4: Post-Production
This part is editing the video and getting it ready to be shown. The lead editor drives the work for this but of course the other members of the group have to contribute We will use final cut pro. We shall need to spend as much free time in working on it as possible.
Stage 5: Distribution and Exhibition
This is the stage when movies are stole to television or placed in cinemas.
