Planning Music Video

Location- The music video "Walking on Sunshine" will be filmed in a couple locations. The first place that the filming will be done at is Hagens Park in Fort Lauderdale. At this park, the opening scene will be presented of walking/dancing and singing along with the song. Then, the filming will be done at Fort Lauderdale Beach. The video will switch from the park to the beach during the song.

Health & Safety- The filming will be done in public and secured places. When the group takes an Uber, we will make sure to stay safe with the driver while on the road. During filming, the area will be checked for any hazardous object or people that could be around. When we're walking around to different locations, we'll make sure the area is safe and that the roads are clear of cars when crossing.

Props- The props include a cellphone which will be in the music video and headphones. These props will act as the source of where the music is coming from. Then, we'll have flowers in one scene for a part of the song. Then, a letter prop will be made for the mailbox scene.

Costumes- The costumes for the music video will be casual and floral. This will include accessories like bracelets, dress-up outfits like dresses, jumpsuits and blouses. The male actor will wear a button up shirt to be casual but clean looking. By doing so, the costume will represent an outdoor theme for the music video.

Schedule:

Monday-11/18/19   

On this day, there was no Media studies class. Planning will begin the following day. 

Tuesday-11/19/19

First, the class got together to discuss the blogging process for the day. My group and I did more research for our music video as well. We discussed the first couple scenes that will be shot and the location. We also implemented a few dances to go along with the music video. We discussed dates of filming. Even more so, we discussed the props and who would bring them in on the day of filming. Most importantly, I made a phone call with Hagen Park to confirm the location was appropriate to film at. Lastly, I began the storyboard for each part of the song that will be recorded. 

Wednesday-11/20/19

Finish up the storyboard and practice the choreography with the group. Secure the filming locations and make sure the weather permits for filming.  Get props ready: letter and flowers. Make sure costumes are ready.
