Costume and make-up planning

The makeup looks for the female character in my music video is heavily inspired by Kaya Scoderlario's character, Effy Stonem in Skins. Her character is very carefree and this is reflected in her makeup look. 

I plan on creating an eyeliner-heavy eye makeup, while keeping the skin relatively clear and natural. I may add glitter to the cheeks and eyes for some shots.

I created the above mood board when planning the costume for my female character. I have decided they will wear black skinny jeans, black boots and a denim jacket. The look is neutral and features no particularly bold colours. By keeping the colour scheme neutral, the look will appear classic, reflecting no particular time period or region of the world, therefore making it relatable to all. The look is also stereotypically indie, therefore fitting with the genre of my music video. 

Similarly, the male character's look will also be neutral. I want to keep the looks relatively consistent across the video. 

I plan on dressing the male character in black skinny jeans, trainers, a white tshirt and a bomber jacket.

Equipment List

Camera

I plan on filming my music video using a Canon PC1680 camera. I have used this camera before and have been very satisfied with the camera's quality. I may also use my iPhone camera to film shots that may benefit from being shot in slow motion or use a time lapse. 

I may use a tripod for some shots such as the footage I shoot on the bridge of the cars. However, for a majority of my video, I plan to film handheld.

Lighting

A large proportion of my music video will be filmed outside, therefore I will be relying on natural light for a large part of this. However for some of the footage to be shot inside, I will use lamps and spotlights to create the right mood. In addition, fairy lights will also be used in these shots to create a soft and romantic atmosphere.

Software

I will be using Adobe Premiere to edit my music video. I have used the software before and am familiar with how it works. I think this will allow me to produce my music video in the exact way I have envisioned and create a professional outcome.

Additional equipment:

• Speaker
• Laptop
• Car

Potential locations

Bedroom setting

Trelawney, Chapel Lane, Hermitage

This location is where I will shoot the scenes of the characters in a bedroom. The room will be relatively neutral, decorated mainly in white. I will use a variety of different lighting, including lamps and spotlights to light the room. I will also use white fairy lights to create a gentle ambience to the scene. I also think the use of fairy lights will make the scene seem romantic and soft, which is what I am going for with these scenes.

 

Bridge and road setting
M4 bridge, Hermitage

This is where I will film shots of cars on the motorway. I plan to film this in the evening when it is beginning to get dark as I think the lights of the cars on the motorway will be aesthetically pleasing. In addition to this, if possible, I will attempt to film at this location when there is a sunset. The way the bridge faces would perfectly capture this.

Also at this location, I am going to film the characters walking together and having a laugh.



Woods scenes
Any of the woods in and around Hermitage

The shots filmed at these locations may not include the characters but may be used to provide a sense of location. I often associate the woods with freedom, which is a theme that is very apparent within the indie genre.



Representation in my music video

The male and female characters in my music video are both in their late teens. They are very youthful and living their lives to the fullest. They fit the free, lovesick teenage stereotype. They do not fulfil the stereotype of being reckless however, with my music video depicting their loss of one another.

Artist Planning

The artist for my music video for is a band called The 4am Club. 

The 4am Club are an indie pop band from Reading, Berkshire. The band consists of two members, Max Mitchell and Darcey Lang. Their musical style is often described as reverb-soaked guitars and emotive vocals with a haunting twang. The 4am Club's music is noted as being able to take you on hazy, atmospheric journeys and being sonically diverse.
