Pre-Production (Prelim Video)

To decide which song to create our video for, we thought of female artists that we could easily lip sync to. We initially looked at artists like Katy Perry, but decided to go for a smaller, less known, indie artist, as we could create a quirky and fun video. We chose Stay Out by Nina Nesbitt because of the simple tune and the video gave us some inspiration.

When deciding what to do for our video we made a list of possible things to incorporate, including locations, props, actions and shots, before storyboarding. This helped us to work out what we should include and what we shouldn't, as well as express our ideas and let everyone say what they want to include, whilst working as a team.

After deciding which bits would be possible to film, we started storyboarding. We used the YouTube video/song to see how long the shots would be, allowing us to make sure every point of the song had a shot. We drew the scene out, thought about camera angles, decided how long the shot would be, and which parts we would lip sync.

When creating the storyboard we didn't take too long due to the time limit, making us more focused. We completed the planning in two lessons and then got straight on with filming.
