Props List

I am using balloons in my video as it is a common theme through out TheWeeknd’s videos, they can connote many different things such as emptiness or even freedom.

You often see TheWeeknd, or other artists smoking in their videos so I've decided to play around with some smoke and will experiment with different things and effects for this shot.

Across the genre, artists are usually smoking or talking about weed, even if they don't show the actual weed, they still blow the smoke out.

This picture shows a smoke bomb. I will be looking to use a black or a white smoke bomb as there is a common use of a black and white theme so I'm looking to experiment this theme by using different effects.

The lighting in TheWeeknd's videos are very specific and often consist of showing very little of the body and mainly only the face. To try and perfect this, I am going to be using a halogen spotlight.

In some videos, TheWeeknd is drinking alcohol so depending on the song we choose, we will use alcohol if we think it suits the song and the environment in which we film.

Initial Ideas

By doing this task, it has allowed me and my partner to put some of our basic ideas on to paper and start to really vidualise what we want in our video. As you can see I have added pictures in as it gave us a better idea of what we can do and what shots we could actually perform, seeing as we havn't actually decided on a song yet, we narrowed it down to a possible 3. This helped us as the songs are quite similar and our ideas can be applied to any of the songs that we decide to choose.

Contact with Artist

In this industry its important everyone has a good conscious in regards to Copyright as it effects the industry massively costing it billions of pounds a year. Therefore we chose to ask the artist permission in our circumstance being it educational and non-profit.

Moodboard

These are images showing how i envisage some elements of my final product weather

for the video to be constructed.

Filming and Editing Schedule

 

We made a filming and editing plan to make sure we stay on top of all the filming that will need to hapen in order to stay on track and create a succesful video.

As directors, filmers and actors we want to ensure we are not in any danger. Tis wil be done by tightly following our control measure and having a generally careful attitude to any dangers in the process.
