Planning: Ordering Props

With the bulk of my filming being completed next week, I have decided to order a couple of cute little props to help brighten my video up. I ordered a ring (which will be chosen at random...fingers crossed for a dragon) and a beach ball to bat around! I hope that they will arrive in time for my second principle filming day next Friday.

Planning: Mood Board

This mood board helps to convey the mood that I am trying to achieve with my music video. Just looking at it makes me ever so cheery!

Planning: Photo Storyboard

I have put together a more detailed storyboard so that I am able to begin to gain an insight into what my video will look like. Jak and Max were not available for storyboarding at the same time, and so a few shots which include the both of them I was not able to take. Therefore, I greyed out the boxes of these images. The majority, however, I have included in the storyboard! Of course, they are not in the costume - or even location - that will be used for the video!

Research Inspiration

Now that I am approaching the final stages of my planning process, I am beginning to think carefully about how my research has impacted upon the video that I am going to create.
I have compiled a brainstorm that details what parts of my research I particularly liked, and how I intend to implement those ideas in my own music video. You may need to use the '+' in the top left corner in order to make sure the mind map is on at least 75% otherwise you won't be able to read it properly!

Research: Demographic and Psychographic Target Audiences

Not that I want to jinx anything but I think I may have finally tamed Glogster to actually do what I tell it to! So here is a Glogster I made speaking in more detail about the intended target audience for my music video. Don't expect another one any time soon!

Research: Target Audience

I decided to randomly interview some people who were part of my target audience in order to try and gain an insight into how they use media and what their opinion is on music videos.

Planning: Production Schedule

This is a timeline of events that shows the entire process of my media production, all the way back from when I received the briefing. The event also shows my deadlines - some of which are personal, but some were given by my teacher.

Planning: Proposed Shot List

It turns out that scanners do not like highlighters and this upsets me greatly because it looks like I wrote this in the 1950s. But I promise it is something I have been working on this evening. I also intend to create a more visual storyboard. 

Planning: Who, What, Where, When?

Below is a very brief outline regarding the production process of my music video.

Final Idea: Mr. Blue Sky

I have created a short video in order to introduce you to my idea, but more specific details will be posted on my blog soon! Please leave your feedback in the comments because I would really like to hear what other people think about my idea!

Developing Ideas

Audience Research

I created an audience research survey in order to find out about my target audience. I will be analysing this data in 3 weeks' time. During this time, I will be posting the survey on social networking sites to get as many responses as possible. I am aiming for 150! You can complete the survey below.
