Production Schedule

 The dates below are the days in which we plan to film particular scenes of our music video.

Sunday 26th July 2015, Rochester: On Sunday, we plan to film the majority of the breakup scenes. Rochester would be a great place to film as there is a cafe where we aim to film our artist sitting by herself looking 'heartbroken'. Also, the castle gardens and cathedral would make for some picturesque footage. The weather is forecast to rain, however we feel that this will add to the dark, unhappy mood we are going for.
Actors: Millie Laing
Props: We plan on using a magazine for our artist to flick through. Also we want a cup of coffee to film Millie sipping on a drink during the cafe scene whilst she is sitting alone to highlight a break up.
Equipment: Camera and tripod to film establishing and long shots.
Costume: As this is a very relaxed breakup scene we would like our artist to wear a very relaxed outfit. We are planning for Millie to wear a hoodie and Converse with no makeup to emphasise the casualness of this scene.
Shots:  The image (left) shows a long shot of the artist sitting at the table in the cafe reading a magazine- the long shot will be able to show her vulnerability and isolation as well as the location that she's in (in the background) in order to set the scene for the audience.


Friday 23rd August 2015, Whitstable: On this day, we would like to film the beach/seaside scenes. I think that this environment would be great to film the POV shots we have planned as this is the type of place that couples would typically go.
Actors: Millie Laing and 'mystery man'- we do not plan on using an actual male in our video as we felt that using actors outside of our group could cause reliability issues. As we are not using the artist's boyfriend's face in the music video, we will instead use on of our arms in the point of view shots.
Props: We do not plan on using any props in this video- only props in a natural environment such as a pebble to throw in the sea.
Costume: We plan on dressing our artist in a rain coat (possibly in a couple of scenes due to the rainy weather predicted) and also in dungarees and a floaty, white gypsy top.
Equipment: A tripod to film some establishing shots & a camera.
Shots:
An example (above) of the type of point of view shot we want to film shows the person filming's arm holding onto the artist's hand as she is pulling him towards the sea. This type of shot can make the video more personal and intimate which may appeal to our target audience.
The next long shot shows the artist sitting on the wall at the beach lip syncing. We plan to keep our artist to the far right end of the screen so that the background environment is also focused on by the viewers too as we think that our choices of location are important (to show a further scale of time.) This is a theme we would like to keep up throughout the video in order to show consistency.

Sunday 13th September 2015, Faversham: We plan to film a bonfire scene where our artist would be toasting marshmallows/having fun with her friends. We also want to use sparklers as this could create quite interesting visuals.
Actors: Millie Laing & Tamzin Sellar. We want to use another girl in the bonfire scene to show that she is with other friends throughout summer- not just with her boyfriend.
Props: Sparklers, Bonfire, paper to throw into the fire to represent the destruction of her relationship.
Equipment: Camera & Tripod
Costume: We aim to use a couple of different outfits in this scene. A more casual appearance (such as a jumper and jeans) for walking in the nature reserve and a slightly more dressed up outfit for the bonfire, which could give more of a relaxed yet classy look for the video.
Shots:  The image (left) shows the POV/long shot of our artist with a sparkler by a bonfire. We feel that this particular shot would be successful as the composition is very busy. This therefore means that the visuals are both very vibrant and intriguing to the viewers- possibly making them want to continue watching.

Saturday 26th September 2015, Brighton:
We intend to film lots of casual scenes at Brighton. This could include just walking along the pier/the lanes as the background will have a lot going on- with that by itself creating an exciting appearance. We want to do a lot of the artist's lip syncing here.
Actors: Millie Laing
Props: Fairground game props/arcade machines- therefore money (Such as 2ps) are required.
Costume: A floaty dress as we associate seaside towns with summer.
Equipment: Camera and tripod.
Shots: This is an establishing/long shot of the artist walking around on the beach by Brighton pier. Again, this type of shot is important the context of the video and setting the scene as the town is well renowned for its famous wheel. Lots of locations used means more of a variety of visuals- and therefore more intriguing for an audience.

Saturday 17th October 2015, London: This would be a great place to film the scenes of our artist looking around London's famous landmarks and art museums. I feel that we could get quite a lot of footage on this day as the city is so busy and has a lot of creative sites to experiment with.
Actors: Millie Laing and other members of the public (we want to show the hustle and bustle of the city).
Props: sketchbook to make it appear as if she is drawing what she is observing at the gallery. Bicycle to ride around the parks of London which could represent a sense of freedom- much like the motorbikes used in Lana Del Rey's 'Ride' video.
Equipment: Camera and tripod


Costume: Yet to be decided as weather can be unpredictable- however we plan for our artist to have a smart casual outfit and sophisticated coat- I think a classy outfit like this can make a video look more professional.
Shots: This is another POV shot of the artist walking around the gallery observing the artwork. We liked the idea of incorporating art into our video as it would present more of a modern and contemporary feel which is something needed in order to stand out in the competitive music industry.

Saturday 14th November 2015, Local Park: Our local park has a lake and a lot of woodland areas/fields. This is a good opportunity for us to film our artist lip syncing with a natural background.
Actors: Millie Laing
Props: We would just like to use the natural landscape- such as flowers in the fields. Flowers can be seen as very symbolic (such as roses representing love), which is a look that we think could be particularly successful as the audience can note these subtle references as they watch the story unfold.
Equipment: Camera and Tripod
Costume: We think that our artist should wear shorts and a kimono as the bohemian look would match the natural environment.
Shots: This is an example of a shot we will film at the local park. It will be a tracking, long shot of the artist walking and lip syncing towards the camera down a path. As the path gets more distant in the background, it creates a leading line meaning that the viewer's eye is naturally led towards the artist which is our main goal.

We will create a story board to show a more detailed selection of shots and camera work in order to produce a dynamic video which I feel is very important.
