Planning for my Music Video

Song Title: “Gettin’ My Mom On” by Jack Stauber

Props

Seeing as the song is about “Gettin’ my mom on” I’ll be using a handbag, some magazines, some old clothes, and woman’s sunglasses. The music video is supposed to be funny and kind of retro, so I’m hoping that using these props will create that same feeling. All the props that I am choosing for my music video are supposed to be kind of off putting. Woman’s sunglasses for example are not necessarily something that I would normally were, but it fits with the story of the video and its weird enough to grab the audience attention.

Costumes

As far as costumes are concerned, I really don’t have anything crazy planned. I suppose the woman’s sunglasses would be considered as a costume, but I don’t want to where anything that is too distracting. I also simply don’t have anything that distracting. In the original music video for this song, the artist purposely didn’t were costumes that didn’t seem crazy or out of the blue. This is because he wanted it to seem more home-Mede, which is what I’m going for.

  Schedule

For my storyboard, I’ll be completing it within some time between now and 11/20. Once I’m done with that, I’ll be filming my music video any time between 11/20 and 11/30. To be honest, I’m pretty sure i can do the whole filming process in one day since ill have so much free time, so ill most likely do it on 11/21 so that I can get it done quicker. I’ll then do my editing on 12/3, and i will of course be submitting my finished product on 12/8 and CCR on 12/11.

Location

I’ll most likely just be filming all my shots inside my home, but I live next to the beach so I might be taking some shots there too.

Backup Plan

If I cant get the proper props I need (which I’m pretty confident wont happen) i will probably end up animating the majority of my music video since I can just animate different objects and props into my video. I’m pretty sure this wont be necessary though because I live with my mom so I already know that she has most of the props I need seeing as the name of teh song is “Gettin’ My Mom On”.

Final Task: Dimensions

Image
 Below is my final task, the opening to my film “Dimensions”. This has been a lot of fun to work with, from the very beginning stages of writing the script, all the way to the editing. I feel that doing this project has given me a good understanding of what it’s like to make a film in the film industry. In total, I feel that I now understand the basic understanding of what it’s like to make a film. In other words, I have learned a lot of skills while making my film, and plan to use these skills on future projects.

Production blog: Costumes

Image
  When gathering the costumes that I was preparing fro my film I ran into a few issues that I hadn’t originally taken into account. I originally planned to have the following: a casual look with pants and short-sleeve, a fancy suit, and pajamas. Seeing as I’m working alone on the project, I will be the only one wearing these costumes. My story is supposed to begin with my character preparing for his birthday the night before. At this point, he is wearing his casual clothes, and he is preparing his suit to wear in the morning. I was originally thing of having the character then be in pajamas since this is at night, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable in pajamas while on camera so I decided not to do this. I also realized that parts of the story wouldn’t add up, because I wanted my character to already be in his suit the next morning. So I then changed the story so that the main character is so excite for his birthday, that he chooses to wear his birthday suit in his sleep. This way, the...

Filming Blog

 Before beginning the filming process, I made sure to gather my material and props together. The costumes that I planned to wear didn’t have to change once I began filming, since all my scenes would be filmed indoors. This also meant that none of my locations had to change either. As I stated before, I already planed on filming indoors, so I didn’t have to improvise much on set. I did however, change some parts that were from my storyboard. For example, I added a scene of my story’s protagonist staring at a colander with a specific date on it. Later on in the film, when the character enters another dimension, he finds that Sam Clarence rebut now it says a different date, even though it was the same day. This is meant to be a visual clue for the audience. Other than that, I didn’t end up changing much. I would go on to film my scenes in an order based on locations. By doing this, I didn’t have to waste any time and go back and forth between locations. I would film specific scenes wh...
