Firstly, we discussed the camera movements, angles, and shots we would use. We made sure to think of what would make the scene the best to ensure that each scene was as perfect as we had planned it would be. We chose to use high angles, long shots, close ups, two shots, and a point of view shot. The high angle would be used to show that someone has superiority or authority over someone in that scene. When using long shots in our scenes it will show a view of the person full body so that the audience can clearly see the full costume. Close ups will show just the actors face so that the audience can clearly make out what emotion that character is trying to show. The 2-shots will be used to show more than one actor and how they relate to the main message of the song which is meeting someone at a location. Lastly, we will use a point of view shot to show how the other actor will react to what the other actor is doing. For example, we will show how the man reacts in our music video to when the woman expresses her feelings towards him.
Secondly, we discussed costume, lighting, actors, makeup, props, and the setting. The costume throughout our music video will include very casual clothes like how any teenager would dress. The lighting of each scene will depend on what is being expressed in that specific scene. For example, in a scene where the character is heartbroken or is showing a flashback the lighting will be much darker to indicate sadness or a flashback. When the scene is happy or current time the lighting will be lighter and brighter to indicate happiness or current time. Some of the props we will use include sunglasses, hats, and beach equipment such as an umbrella and a surfboard. Lastly, the setting will take place on the beach. The beach makes a perfect setting for what the message in the song we chose portrays. We wanted to do the beach because it makes such a beautiful background and will contribute so much to our music video.
Thirdly, we discussed how we planned to edit all of our footage after we were done filming. We agreed on using cutaways, fade outs, fade ins, and flashbacks. We will use cutaways to show the main actor and then cut to the scene when she sees her significant other with someone else. This is an important scene because it contributes to the main theme and message of the music video. Next, we will use a fade out to end out the music video. It will go from all the actors in the film and face out to a black screen to signify the end of the music video. After this we will use fade in towards the beginning of the film to signify the start of the film. It will fade in from a black screen into the actors in the first scene. Lastly, we will use flashbacks to show the actor in the past thinking about this man that she used to love. This helps the audience have a better understanding of who the main actor has been thinking of in all of the scenes.
The final thing we discussed was the sounds we would use throughout the music video. The first sounds we will use is dialogue. We will use dialogue to show the female and male actor communicating about their current location. Next, we will use diegetic sounds from the sounds of the waves or the wind. These sounds will allow the scene to seem more realistic and natural. After this we will use non-diegetic sounds which include the music we will add in and any sounds effects to add suspense or allow the audience to understand what it going on. Next we will use the score which is the actual song that we will edit in to the background. The score is specific to the song location in album that Khalid released. Lastly, we will use ambient sounds to allow the audience to interpret the hype of that scene. For example, we will increase the beat of the song to show the audience that the scene is more exciting or something is about to happen
