The Main Actress- End Look

Below shows the look I created on my main actress at  the end of the music video. This look is intended to portray a very individual, slightly gothic and even a grunge type of look. I created this look as a contrast to what you see the girl to look like at the start of the video, to emphasize how she has changed, I showed this through her clothes, and her makeup, all being dark and almost like a tomboy.

Shooting Plan 1

Audience Research Questionnaire- Results

Audience Research Questionnaire

Below is the questionnaire I wrote in order to do research on what people want and expect in a music video, this means that when creating my music video I can suit it to how people want it to be. I will have another post showing my results from this questionnaire.

Shot Storyboard

Below is a table of how I want my video to be. It shows ideas I have for each shot, and how long it will last for, as well as the type of shot it is. By creating this it will make it easier for me both when I am filming and when I am editing my video, as I will know what shots I need to film, and when I am editing I will know how long each shot needs to last in order to fit with the time of the video.
