Initial Tasks: planning

1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise.


I plan to make a 30 second advert about someone who is struggling in school lack of tiredness. The product that I am advertising is an energy drink that refuels you and makes you full of energy. In the beginning of the advert, we are going to present a student in school who acts sleepy, tired, and just can't be bothered for anything. The character is going to be wearing school uniform. After, the character's friend who is sitting beside him is going to pull out the product out of his bag and says to sleepy character, "oi lazy bones, try some of this." After the character drinks this, he will be unbelievably hyper. Then a voiceover is going to explain this product and what it does.

2) Write a script for your preliminary exercise on your blog. This needs to include stage directions AND dialogue. To see how a TV drama script is presented, and to look at professional examples, check out the BBC Writers' Room and click on Script Library. These will not be music video scripts but the layout will be the same.

Don't know yet.




3) Casting: Who will be in your preliminary exercise music video?

At least 2 characters including a protagonist.



4) Plan your locations: Where you will film your preliminary exercise? (You can film off-site if you wish to do this for homework - this is what we would strongly recommend). Important note: You CANNOT take any students out of any other lessons OR disturb any other lessons in the school. If you wish to film in-school then you will need to film with Mr Ray supervising or after school with a Media teacher present. 

At least 2 different locations on your video. In school and some in a public.





5) Write your shot list: every shot you plan to film. This needs to be far MORE shots than you will actually use in the final edited version - plan extra angles, close-ups, long shots and more. You can find an example shot list here. This is for a narrative film but the layout will be the same.
