Planning
Script/treatment
For a music video, you need to produce a treatment outlining what will happen in the video. For a film or TV production, you'll need a script. Whatever you're producing, you need a written plan of what happens and what is spoken.
Scene 1: Boy Gets Dropped Off And Leaves With Friend.
The camera focuses on the facial expressions of the two actors, the father and also the boy. We see shots of the boy looking out the window with deep thinking as he knows he is about to commit to something he shouldn't do (Skip School). The camera also focuses on both characters through the rear view mirror. This uses mise and scene and builds close proxemics within the car. When the boy leaves we see slow motion shots of him looking at the car going away, this shows how he done the bad deed. We then see shots of him linking up with his friend and then leaving.
Storyboard
For a recreation, you may want to create a screengrabbed storyboard. This involves capturing each of the shots in the 30-second sequence you are recreating and pasting them in order with written notes in a blogpost or Word document. Alternatively, storyboard sheets are available in DF07.
Shot list
The most important document you will create: a full shot list containing every shot you need out on location. Take this document with you when you film and tick them off one by one.
Mise-en-scene planning
Mise-en-scene is the most important aspect of a good recreation. You need a location, cast, costume and props to exactly match the original production. This is one of the most difficult aspects of the task!
The boy will be wearing school attire, such as a north face jacket and a school bag, we will also be using a car as it is needed to show the parent driving the boy to school, we will also need a lot of sunlight as this was in the music video.
