NEA PLANNING PART 6 - Schedule

SCHEDULE

It is important to produce a schedule of activities when working on a production as it means that I am able to work with deadlines, meaning that I will be encouraged and motivated to work within a certain time limit, and my work will not be put off. 

I am most likely to struggle with creating my website, specifically: producing the images, writing the text and producing the graphics and logos. This is because I struggle to make my websites look professional as well was fun and entertaining. 

In order to achieve these difficult activities I am going to perhaps ask for advice from my peers, as well as look up examples of other artists' websites in order to gage how I want my website to look. 

NEA PLANNING PART 5 - Casting

CASTING

The purpose of this task is for me to identify what actors / actresses I am going to use within my music video. Establishing what actors / actresses I will use will help me to plan out what events will occur throughout my video as I will be able to know who will be able to play what parts. Also, I will be able to plan the theming of my music video around the actors / actresses and their looks and styles, creating consistency throughout the costumes used and the settings.

MATT WATSON

What makes this person suitable?

This person is suitable to be in my music video as I wanted someone of the male gender in order to channel a stereotypical romance between a boy and a girl - something that many people and audience members can either relate to wish to relate to. I also decided to use Matt Watson as he has over 1000 follows combined on social media - this will give my product a selling point as young audience members will link his popularity to the music video, and therefore the video will get more views.

What makes this person unsuitable? 

Matt Watson could however be unsuitable for this music video because his personality can sometimes be very shy - this may limit us to filming very casual shots in front of as little people as possible in order to achieve the actor's most confident acting. 

DARCY MORGAN

What makes this person suitable?
This person is suitable for my music video as they will act opposite the male role as the main love interest for the male actor. This is a common convention used throughout pop music videos and therefore my two actors working together will appeal to my target audience because of their romantic chemistry.

What makes this person unsuitable?
This person could however be unsuitable because she is not always available - filming production would have to take place based on her availability. 

NEA PLANNING PART 4 - Location Information

LOCATION INFORMATION

The purpose of this task is to assess and identify the locations that I will use for my music video, further developing my knowledge regarding the locations I will be using and the impact that they will have on my final piece. Furthermore, I will also be researching these locations in order to understand the potential hazards and obstacles that could appear when filming and working out how to overcome them.

DISNEY WORLD, FLORIDA

WHAT MAKES THIS LOCATION SUITABLE? 
This location is suitable for my music video because it appeals to almost everyone, especially those who are within my target audience bracket of 16-25 year olds. This location will make my music video seem very uplifting which will coincide with the pop music genre in my music video very nicely. Furthermore, the weather in Florida is well known for being hot and sunny, creating the perfect weather to film a music video in as blue skies and a low chance of rain is almost guarantee. 

POTENTIAL RISKS / HAZARDS? 
Although the Disney World location is very suitable for my pop music video, there are several risks and hazards that I will have to keep in mind and work around if they occur.
Some of which include:
- Large masses of crowds. These may ruin the camera's shot and therefore I will have to attempt the work around the people and perhaps retreat to a quieter area.
- The weather. Although the sun in present in florida for 90% of the time, Florida also experiences bad thunder storms which may damage the equipment and also make the shot seem very miserable. I may have to wait out some of the storms and bad rain falls in order to achieve the perfect shots.  

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, FLORIDA

WHAT MAKES THIS LOCATION SUITABLE?
This location is suitable for my music video because, like Disney World, Universal has a wide appeal to a lot of families and friends, especially those who are apart of my target audience of 16-25 year olds. This location is filled with bright buildings and a lot of photo opportunities and therefore the pop music featured in my music video will be suited to the bright and uplifting location. I would also like to point out that Universal studios has been an ideal place for other artists to shoot their music videos in the past, some of whom include: Britney Spears and Lady Gaga.
POTENTIAL RISKS / HAZARDS?
Universal Studios is the ideal location for shooting a music video because of the bright colours and uplifting atmosphere, however there are several risks and hazards that we have to take into consideration whilst filming.
Some of which include:
- Some places such as the Universal shops or limited expeditions may not allow filming due to copy right reasons. This means that I will have to research before hand where specially I will be allowed to film, and note down the locations.
- There may be trip hazards. This means that I have to keep a careful eye out and make sure that the floor is clear for everyone to walk across safely.

AIRPORT, LONDON

WHAT MAKES THIS LOCATION SUITABLE?

This location is suitable for my music video because it is linked massively to the travel theme throughout my video - the scenes that will be shot in the airport will be featured heavily at the start of the music video in order to introduce the traveling aspect of the video and unfold the events that will occur later on. The airport has a huge association with holidays which, in turn, will cause feelings of excitement within the target audience and hopefully create a great appeal from several audiences. 

POTENTIAL RISKS / HAZARDS?

Although the airport will be a perfect location for my music video, there are a lot of risks and hazards that we will have to keep in mind whilst filming.

Some of which include:

- Filming may be prohibited in certain locations, meaning that I will have to find out before hand where we be allowed to film in order to plan out my music video.

- The heavy equipment needed to film a music video may be limited due to the amount that we are allowed on the plane, and therefore we will have to film with less equipment and perhaps only a camera.
