Assignment 3: Pre-production

In your group OR individually, you need to complete the following planning:

1) Storyboard
2) Shotlist
3) Mise-en-scene planning

You need a minimum of 3 pages EACH

Storyboard

• Use the skills you have already developed in Assignment 2.
• Create a visual ‘feel’ for what you want your music video to look like – you won’t be able to storyboard every shot.
• Use a wide variety of creative shots and draw them accurately.

Shot list

• The shot list is the single most important pre-production document – you will tick off each shot while shooting.
• There will be far more shots on the shot list than in the storyboard.
• You will need at least one shot for every second of the track you have chosen.

Mise-en-scene planning

• This document involves all the planning for anything appearing in front of the camera: actors/cast, locations, costumes, props, make-up, lighting.
• Use images to show you have planned each aspect of mise-en-scene (mobile phone/ Google images/ Google maps are all acceptable here).

The deadline for all your research and planning is the Wednesday after half-term (26 February) BUT if you want to sign out a camera to film over half-term then you'll need to complete everything by this Friday 14 February.
