Props:

Here is a mood board of some of the props which I will hope to use in my music video. The balloons and walking sticks will be easy to get hold of however the drum kit as of its size will be difficult to get to the filming location, and the brass instruments as of their value.

Inspirational bands:

The costume props which I have now purchased can be seen below, I can all other things that are needed from myself and my actors which makes it a lot easier to get set up. Below are some of the bands which I have taken inspiration from especially Madness and the Specials, this is as their outfits are cool and I personally would wear that going out and also their music is iconic and I love it. Many of the costumes for my actors will be being styled of these bands, from the trilby hats to the canes, to make the video stand out and look the part.

actors costumes:

Here is a mood board of the type of costumes I would like my actors to be wearing during filming so that they fit in with the music. Although some of the clothing may seems bland and not very upbeat, when put into a jazzy and unusual song I hope it will prove to be a big contrast, especially from the colorful balloons.

music video script:

Here is my music video script of how I hope my overall music video to be played out ear to ear. I am counting on the fact many parts will probably change during filming so that it is more interesting for the viewer to watch, as at the moment I believe that with the small variety of shots I have it will be quite a slow and boring video for some viewers. However hopefully there is so much going on and comical moments that it will make it a lot better once it is completed.

Story board with song:

Here is my storyboard in a slide form with the music, to get a feel of how it may come out in the end.

Story Board:

Here is my story board with timings and annotation to link on from my music treatment, as a more detailed and explanatory plan.

Although I believe then when filming begins timings will defiantly change, as when you are only drawing it down while listening to the song you cannot get a sense of what I really want it to be like. This means the scenes may got longer and shorter throughout filming.

Many of the scenes are quite long as there will be lots of different angles so that one scene can last a lot longer without getting boring or too similar.

Close up will be used a lot so that the audience can see the actors cheeky smiles and laughter as they dance to the song. Some parts of the filming will of course be improvised so the actors can be themselves, which is what music is.

Most of the filming will be done inside so that weather should not be too much of a problem in the long run, however the stuff outdoors will nearly all have to be done on the same day, so that I get the same weather conditions and lighting. As otherwise if one second its bright and sunny and then the second its dark and raining it will look very unprofessional and cheap.
