First Draft

Weather Forecast

Here is a weather forecast for the next week, my Ideal days to film on would have to be saturday and wednesday as it is supposed to be sunny, and the sun would add a nice effect onto the video, giving it that warm feeling that I have been looking for.

Costumes/Location

The images below are images of what I would ideally have my artist to wear whilst I am filming my video, however this may not be the case depending on whether or not I can get some of the items that are necessary to complete the looks for my video. Hopefully I can get the outfits that are listed down below but if not then they will likely be similar.

The locations that I am going to be using are:

- The Recording studio
   The reason that I chose this is because i need it in my video as it is a key scene.

-The Green Room
  The reason that I have chosen the Green Room is because depending on when my actors are free I might                            not be able to use the Recording Studio.

-A forest near college
  Again I need this as a key scene for my video, for when the artist is walking down a path while singing.

This is the arial view of the forest which I am going to be using in my video.

Here is a still from one of my test shots which I did the other day, but I still need to get them from the memory card and onto the blog.


-A bedroom
Again This is for the beginning of my music video as it is a scene where the artist has been left alone in the bedroom.

With this camera there isn't really many cons, or bad points about it, if I had to be picky about it I would say that its a bit of a shame that the camera does not record in 60fps, and that it is not 60p either, but other than that there is next to no flaws with it.

Another piece of equipment that I am going to be using is my phone. Sony Xperia LT30p, this is purely for the camera as it does not differ too much from that of the Cannon

Again here are some of the key camera features that the phone has and how they compare against that of the camera.
