- Plan each individual shot and every detail, like who the lead character is etc
- Choose the entire cast before filming; (even background characters, technical producers etc)
- Get props for the set, a camera and lights - Luckily our group had lighting before we began filming due to the location we decided to film our music video in. We plan to focus the lighting to use its full effectiveness, and also to manage the spot lights for close ups etc
- The protagonist/main person in the shot, is always the brightest on the screen - Reflectors, such as the floor in our case, produce huge amounts of light upon any member of the band the directors desire, we plan to use this effectively in all our band shots
When Filming!
- Finding the ideal setting - we managed to do this through the availability of the school hall (luckily for us!)
- Set up the camera where you can see everybody in the video. Tripods are excellent for this purpose, because you can smoothly turn the camera, and you avoid the "shaky-hand" taping that screws up a great performance.
- Determine whether some people will be playing and who is singing at certain points in the shot. If someone is singing at the wrong point where the rest of the video is perfect the shot can not be used, however good the rest of the shot is.
- Play the song in the background whilst filming - this way everyone is in tune and on the same page, making the sync a lot better.
