Actors & artist styling / costume planning

Follow mary's board ACTORS STYLING / COSTUME PLANNING - KIDS on Pinterest. Follow mary's board ARTIST STYLING / COSTUME PLANNING on Pinterest.
I have created a two seperate pinterest boards, one for the artist and one for the actors. I have included several images for each one of the costumes and outfits that I am thinking of using for my music video along with the different styling techniques such as the different hairstyles and accessories to go along with the looks. This will give me a platform to work with when it comes to the actual construction of my music video as I will be able to look back at this post and use it to think of what outfits to use.

Moodboard

I have created a moodboard using images I took from the internet, particularly in websites such as tumblr and pinterest. This is because these sites provide images that most people like and are popular. I have included images of how I want my video to look like and what it will include. This involves images of the props that I may be using such as glitter and children's drawings. I have also included images of what the narrative of the video will be like such as the theme of youth and friendship, therefore I have included images of children and kids enjoying youth together. Some of the images such as the theme parks and the polaroid camera, reflects how the audience of the music video will be like or have an interest in. This moodboard will help me when it comes to creating my own music video because it will give me a platform to work from and something that to produce the same vibe to the video as what the moodboard's images give away.

Initial planning ideas

I have created a prezi on the initial ideas that I have about what to include in my music video that I will be producing. These inital ideas involve song choice, locations, props, costumes, key lyrics potrayals, narrative and editing. Jotting down my ideas that I have at the moment on prezi will help me as a foundation to think of more ideas throughout the process of creating my music video. These ideas are still initial, and therefore will be improved and worked on to think other ideas.

Location Recce

I have taken a location recce fill out sheet template from the media home drive to fill out. This is my piece of research on what sort of locations I am thinking about using for my music video. In this, I have included the location, its address, images of the location and also its advantages and disadvantages. I have chosen the locations including: the black box room, London, my bedroom, a field and a party room. I've chosen these rooms specifically because I have already thought of an idea which I think will be suitable for these use of locations. Talking about their advantages and disadvantages, will help me to be aware of them and therefore improve on what the difficulties that may arise when it comes to the stage where I shoot the footage in those locations.
