group so you always have a copy –
some sections require you to delete
the information on the slide and
replace with your own work
Add more pages to each section
where necessary [you should be doing
this!]
Add visuals as you see necessary
This document will be added to as you
progress through the pre-production
phase.
Delete this slide when complete

TASK 1
Idea
Generation and
Research

RESEARCH
Watch a selection of videos to get your ideas started,
make note of a minimum of 5 – add extra slides,
screenshot the video and in bullet point note down info
in terms of camera, editing, art design, performance, etc.
and how this might link to your production
Hint!
You’ve already done this in
your case study, so you can
summarise that here where
relevant

DARREN CRISS – F✽KN
AROUND. (LYRICS)
What I like about this video:

BEN PLATT – BAD HABIT.
What I like about this
video:

BEN PLATT – EASE MY MIND.
What I like about this
video:

JEREMY RENNER – BEST PART OF
ME. (LYRICS)
- Even though this is a lyrics
video, it still has a video
behind it created by and
featuring the artist. This
creates the idea of a
personal connection between
the artist and the person
watching.
- I like the fact that the
photos/clips in the video are
connected to the meaning
but still random enough for
it to look cool.
- I like the flow between
these photos. It’s easy on
the eyes as the photo
framing is similar and the
focus doesn’t jump around

JEREMY RENNER – MAIN
ATTRACTION.
- I really like the lighting
choices throughout the video,
changing the colour and style
for the different areas that he
is in.
- I love this after-effect (see
left). This is made by
duplicating the focus of the
clip, shifting it a bit away
from the origin (and for the
middle image, tweaking the
size and blur of it)
- I like the fact that that
there’s some footage of the
band performing it live as it

CONVENTIONS YOU PLAN TO
USE
What are the conventions of your musical genre? How could you
use them?
Dance music:
- Fast jump cuts between different clips, almost always on the
beat.
- A few mid-range shots of people dancing to emphasise that
it’s a dance song.
- Some slow-motion sots of people dancing to contrast the fast
pace of the song.
- Lots of fast shots to emulate the experience of being in a club.
- Vibrant colours throughout like there would be in a club.

SUMMARY

TASK 2
Pre-production
Assessment

GUIDANC
E:
PRE-
PRODUCT
ION
ASSESSM
ENT
You need to assess the viability of your production and
investigate what is required to enable you to make your
music video
Much of this task is hypothetical, which means you will
need to investigate standard costings for such a
production and apply these to your planned production
considering which equipment you would need and
resources, etc.
Resources to support this are in the Pre-production
assessment folder on Blackboard
Delete the questions on each slide and insert your
responses

TITLE OF
PRODUCTION/PRODUC
TION OUTLINE
Summary of intended production
Detail here what you are going to
make and the intended outcome
Detailed breakdown of the music
track chosen and your interpretation
of it [remember the questions in the
workbook, e.g.
pace/mood/tone/structure]
Specific outline your intended
technical/equipment requirements
Include any details that you think
[you could use material from your
pitch]

LOCATIONS
You need to identify locations and plan a recce.
What are the limitations and risks, e.g., distance, access,
cost, weather? How will you manage this?
I'm planning to get some recording done in the city
centre, on college grounds and some small parts inside
my house.

LOCATIONS
In town, I want to
get some shots
like this.
At home, I can use
some colour
changing led lights
for some cool shots
to emulate being at a
party.

EQUIPMENT
What do you need? E.g. equipment, resources? Mostly
from college, but who do you need to speak to get this
kit? What is available? When?
Look at equipment hire places, etc.

FACILITIES
Where will you edit your video? Do you need any other
specialist facilities…?
I will edit my work whilst I am at college using their
computers and premiere pro

PERSONNEL
CREW: What is you team? Who is in it? What are each
team members strengths/weaknesses? When are they
available?
CAST: Do you need any external performers? When are
they available? Cost implications? Will you have to feed
them? Transport them?
Other personnel? Is anyone else helping you?

PRE-PRODUCTION:
VISUAL PLANNING
This section is concerned with the visual planning of your
music video
You should use this section to develop the sequencing or your
video, establish the relationship between the visuals and the
track itself and create a structure for you to follow when
filming
It is important that you ‘pre-visualise’ the video before you
make it; it will make filming and production a more
streamlined process
The following tasks are part of your visual planning
 Pre-visualisation and concept boards
 Storyboarding
 Shot list

PRE-
VISUALISATION/CONC
EPT BOARDS
Tool for exploring the direction and visuals
Provides inspiration and information for the “look & feel”
Presents key moments in your video
A means to sketch/plan ideas
Information on colour/lighting
Defining the “mise-en-scene”
Include as much here as you like, but keep it relevant to the
production, the following slides have been left blank for you to
approach in your own way, add more as you need to
Extension suggestion: edit a short sequence of clips that have
inspired or influenced your video [similar to this:

games-might-be-better-than-the-real-movie]

STRUCTU
RAL
BREAKDO
WN
Breakdown your track into it basic sections [e.g.
intro, verse, chorus, verse, etc.] and apply broad
visual ideas to each section
You can use this as the master template for your
production, then add more shots to each section
when you develop your full visual plan
You should create a slide showing all the sections
of the song, then add a slide for each section with
timings, lyrics, what happens and details on
specific shots
You could storyboard and shot list each section
as you go, to break up the process.

STORYBOAR
DING
Your storyboard should bring your idea to
life
Provide an idea of the sequencing of you
video
Provides a basis for production
Suggested online storyboard creators are:
 https://www.storyboardthat.com
 http://www.pixton.com [very
complicated]
 http://www.storyjumper.com [allows you
to insert your own images]
Alternatively, hand draw or photograph
your storyboard and scan or copy to insert
it onto your slides
There are lots of tips collected together on
Blackboard!

SHOT
LIST
Your shot list should contain the
sequential breakdown of what you
need to shoot for your video
It should work in partnership with
your storyboard
It will be your working document
when you film
It should contain the shot number,
scene number, shot description,
framing and action you will see
It should also have information on
performers in the scene and other
props, etc.
Shot list template is on Blackboard
in the pre-production folder.

SONG PARTS
-0:00 – 0:16 verse 1 M
-0:16 – 0:31 pre 1 MF
-0:31 – 0:47 chorus 1 MF
-0:47 – 1:02 inst 1 F
-1:02 – 1:18 verse 2 M
-1:18 – 1:33 pre 2 MF
-1:33 – 1:48 bridge S
-1:48 – 2:03 chorus 2 MF
-2:03 – 2:19 chorus v2 F
-2:19 – 2:40 inst 2 F
(Master copy starts instantly.
The one I’ll use has about 3s
before song starts so it flows
better in video form.)

I would like to get a shot of
a narrow street like this,
preferably at night when it’s
dark. If not, I can edit the
lighting in Premiere pro to
make it seem like it was at
night.
Between Pre 2 and Bridge,
have a transition like this.
Shot will be in the LED room
with the colours pulsing to
the beat. The person in
frame will be dancing to the
music whilst in Pre 2 and
then is still enough for the
transition into Bridge.

TASK 3.2
Organisational
Planning

PRODUCTION GROUP INFO
Include names, contact info, and defined roles at
difference stages of production, using a table is
suggested

LOCATION
INFORMAT
ION
Information and images of your
location[s] for filming
You should have address details,
clearance/premissions for filming,
recce photos and floorplans
[including camera, equipment and
cast/crew layouts]
Where possible, have a plan B
fallback location option
Assess each location for any issues
and suggest solutions

RISK
ASSESSM
ENT
Risk Assess each separate filming
location using the table in the
camera H&S PP on Bb as a staring
point
Completing a generic filming
assessment would be a start, then
you can add specialist/site specific
risks as you progress your
production
Remember, a Risk Assessment is an
ongoing document, you should
evaluate if anything changes in
production and when you put
control measures in place
You should add the table to each
call sheet for each location

RISK ASSESSMENT
Risks How to prevent/deal with them

CONTINGENCY
PLANNING
Things go wrong
Your contingency plan is there to give you a
backup or to minimise the effect on
production
You should consider the following areas:
Technical, Location, Personnel and
Organisational areas [about 5 potential issues
for each]
Use the form in pre-production folder on
Blackboard

CONTINGENCY PLAN
1. If I cannot get the night-time shots that I want, I can
shoot a daylight shot of what I want, then edit the
lighting in Premiere Pro.
2.
