Planning - Location of Filming

Location of Filming:

For the location we took inspiration from the video and decided to go with plain backgrounds. We decided on a black background and white background. The use of a plain background will suit the theme of the song a really show off the visuals of the actress. 

The location of the black background is a studio located in the school. This location will work with our video as the colour black represents mystery and we believed that this would go really well with the song and it lyrics. The use of this location also allows us to have more room to move around and create more interesting shots that work along with the video. 

The location of the white background is located in the media studio were we were able to use a white backdrop. The use of a white background we believed will work really well because the colour white represents purity and innocence. The white background will therefore work with the shots we wish to get, that show her 'natural' side and the theme within the song.

The process of making the music video

There are many things that need to be taken into account when producing your own music video. Firstly, you have to have a set budget so you don’t plan too much without being realistic, most music videos don’t have to be expensive or elaborate to be good videos. Secondly, recording labels need to talk to the artist or band to discuss how they would like to present their song through filmography. Labels decide which of the artist ideas they want to keep and incorporate into the video, and ideas they don’t want to keep. They would take into account which ideas would be feasible and which would be unfeasible compared to the budget. Once the record label and artist have gained all the ideas towards the song, they start to refine the ideas. Labels consult with members of their technical staff as they are professionals and know exactly what’s credible to film and what’s incredible.  After refining ideas we have to contact different music channels that’ll show your music video. If it’s a song from the pop genre, many music channels will most likely show it constantly on channels such as Viva and 4 music.
