First draft music video

Editing Plan

Fig 1

This is the editing plan. I did it so that

I would have some guidelines to follow when 

putting my music video together.

Before a started editing I knew that the structure of my music video would determine how professional the final product would looked. So I developed this couler coded plan that helped me to break down the video depending on the pace and timing of the song. For example in the climax parts where the chorus is being played (marked in red), I decided to show shots of all three versions of Jake playing all the instruments. Where as during the bass guitar solos I only showed close up shots of Jake on the guitar. By doing this it makes the video flow and there for will increase audience satisfaction.  

The Location for My Music Video

I have decided to film my media project in the school assembly hall. With every location you will get pros and cons so I have decided to list them so that I can try to use the positives to my advantage and also understand the drawbacks so that I can think of inventive was to overcome them.

POSITIVES

• Easy to travel to and transport equipment
• Has spotlights I can use to light the set
• Large space with plenty of room to get establishing shots
• Stable and controlled environment which wont be effected by factors like weather 

NEGATIVES

• Cant film during school time as the hall will be in use
• Bit ironic and simple 
• Location is hard to use out side of school

Risk assessment

Media – Risk Assessment – Joe Wright

Here is a risk assessment I have done before making my Music video.  This is useful to make me think about anything which might be a risk, and to think about what I can do to prevent them from happening.

Hazard	Person who may be harmed	Property which may be damaged	Risk controls already in place	Risk Assessment (LOW, MODERATE, HIGH and EXTREME)	Next action required to control risk
Fire	Actors and director	Building, camera, lens and personal equipment (phones )	Alarm and fire drills/procedures	Very LOW	Make sure no equipment gets too hot and battery are not near anything flammable
Trip over  equipment	Actors and director	Equipment  may be damaged if the person trips over and falls on them	Look for a safe location in the hall to store all equipment	MODERATE	Put all equipment in protective box and make sure wires are taped to the floor
Falling of stage	Actors and director	Equipment could get damaged	Walking carefully around the stage. Placing equipment down in safe places	MODERATE	Put bright colored tape around the edge of the stage
Electric shock from leads and sockets	Actors and director	Fuses and power supply to equpment	Make sure not to touch any exposed wires	LOW	Put signs over areas which could potentially cause electric shocks
