Practical Planning
I will be renting a camera from (8th October-11th), I aim to practice filming my dancer using the
slider, a piece of equipment that will help me to accurately and smoothly capture some of the
movements a tripod might not.
Getting familiar with the equipment will be a vital step for me to do, In past activities I've
struggled to set up equipment, however this will be a perfect opportunity for me to do. In order to
have my shots clear and steady, I will also focus on quaint objects in and around my house to
practice the camera.
I also will attempt to create 'Bokeh' shots, by doing so I'll film a friend and attempt harsh
conditions to test out the camera (wind, clouds, dusk)
Another advantage of practicing with cameras, is the edits I will create out of my footage, such
as – Split screen editing and transitioning the scenes smoothly together.
In addition, I will attempt to visit the places I anticipate to film in, this will help me to get a clear
mindset of how I want to film in the chosen environment, thus I will be prepared for the real
takes.

Website
typography...
I aim to create a website that makes Atlanta's fans feel close and connected to her as
an Artist.
In previous website analysis with other stars, there is a common theme of leaving a
note (sign posted on the page), and at the bottom has their signature and a heart or
an x. The psychology of this makes it feel personal and direct to fans, adding to their
gratification.
The typography, is important, my on -going theme is being real, rather than
promoting an image of construction. Having the handwritten note and signature on
the website is crucial to creating the sense of connection with my Artist.
Atlanta's signature will be slightly angled to mimic the natural alter of the hand
movement, this therefore will connote the ideology that she is very much part of this
process.
Themes (Website)
The theme of purity and transparency will be a focal point in the music video, and
to translate this into my website I will be using subtle color schemes to present
this.
The pastel colors are discrete and will help viewers to focus souly on the contents
of the page rather than having distracting colors.
The colors will contrast slightly with the music video – as in the video there will
be vibrant colors (neon reds and purples), the website will be a toned down
verson/ interpretation of what the meaning of the video is about – finding peace
with yourself and being able to move on.
Pastel colors and their meanings for my
website...
Pastel blue
represents harmony and
peace.
These colors together will
connote and create a light,
Feng Shu, pastel green soft and soothing
represents family, nature environment for viewers to
and honor. see.
My contingency plan, will follow the story of two young lovers that struggle to peruse
their relationship due to religion and status. The video will involve them sharing an
interest in Politics, seeing each other outside of school and the relationship being
discovered by the mother of the character. There will be a big argument that fragments
the relationship between the mother of the main character and her, resulting in a threat
made about seeing him again. In an act of rebellion, she decided to see him, and he
introduces her to his family. Fascinated, his mother decides to make an article in her
newspaper about the two, and the mother of the main characters sees her daughter on
the main cover with the boy and decides to subtly restore their relationship by pinning
the paper on the fridge door. The two pursue their relationship with each other with
the blessings of both parents and as cliché as it seems... continue happily ever after!

How will you access/organise location(s)? Is your idea ‘do-able’ in terms of resources and time scale?
Most settings I will use are in the comfort of my own home, and local amusements. They are reliable, require minimum planning and accessible.
Reading the terms and conditions of the local arcade, it states, filming for external benefit is acceptable and legal, and the opening and closing times are highly flexible.
The open arcade, will be getting redecorated and the Autumn lights will be in full show, this will add to the narrative of my video.
Having two alternate workspaces that I have full access to makes planning simple! I will be filming in the evening hours, that will give a bohemian feel atmosphere, in an open restaurant situated in
the city center.
Speaking to the manager of the Tea Rooms I aim to film in advance makes planning easy also.
Briefly describing what will happen in my music video.
Similar to the song, the narrative will follow a girl (Atlanta) who is reminiscing her previous relationship, most parts of the
video will be flashbacks, that play a part in perceiving it as a love song. The main character Atlanta will become seemly
stronger and independent as the video goes on, this will be shown by extreme close ups and close ups.
The music video is seemly relatable for teens and young adults, the concepts of having props that are well known, such as:
Polaroid Cameras, Roller Skates and fairy lights provide this representation. Having string instruments also provides this as
t gives an emotional overlay for the narrative – previously strings have been a 'hit' with the younger generation, used by
singers like Adele, Sam Smith and Clean Bandit. Similarly, solo or duo dance scenes provide have been popular in amongst
videos also aimed at this demographic, both contemporary and street are at an all time high in the last 6 years, so by
ncluding this will help fulfill audience gratification.
