Agreed Content

The content of my production involves a male teenager wearing his new shoes. The musicvideo will start with him waking up in the morning in a glum mood. As he’s getting dressed

he decides to wear his new shoes for the first time. This instantly picks up his day and

brightens up the atmosphere of the video. During the video there will be frequent shots of

the actor singing the song and playing a guitar.

Final Proposal / Detailed Outline of Production

I’ve chosen to create a music video as this is the area where my skills have developed andimproved the most over the last two years. I’ve had experience creating a music video and

have learnt lots of things whilst making it. Overall, the last music video I made was a

success; this gives the knowledge and confidence to do well during this production.

My music video will start in black and white whilst the main protagonist is waking up. His

day starts in a miserable and glum way until he’s getting dressed. He decides that it will be a

good day to wear his brand new shoes. He ventures under his bed and grabs a shoe box. The

next scene will be of him outside wearing his shoes and walking along the street. As the

camera focuses on his shoes the camera cross dissolves from the black and white effect to

colour. From then on, the camera will focus on the actor singing and playing the guitar

whilst walking down the street. The next day, the camera pans across him with his shoes

being worn in bed. He wakes up in a much more jolly fashion. Then the video will include

lots more shots of him singing with his guitar again. This continues until just before the end

of the video, where he puts his shoes back in the box, ready for another glum day.

The message of the video is that if you feel good within yourself, you are able to conquer

and trouble you may face throughout the day. This contrasts with the original song

meaning, relating to Paolo Nutini’s dark and terrifying heroin addiction.

A lot of the filming is outside. If there is bad weather (rain, snow etc.), I will film the scenes

at Shiplake train station. There is an overhead cover there that will keep the crew and

equipment dry, as well as keeping an outdoor effect.

RISK ASSESSMENT FORM



Production Management

Managing the pre-production roles

I took on all the pre-production roles; It was made very clear and in an organised fashion. All

the pre-production really helped in during the production stages, especially the storyboard.

It was drawn out clearly with detailed notes as to what the camera angle and movement

was necessary for each scene.

Managing the production phase

All the members of the cast and crew met at the location in Shiplake for the first day of

filming. We had a 15 minute meeting where we discussed the plan for the day. All the

filming went swiftly without needing too many takes. Oliver (the actor) worked very

professionally for an amateur actor, which made filming much less stressful. Fortunately the

weather remained warm but not sunny. In the initial idea I wanted the sun to come to be

out for all the outdoor shots. However, I will be able to create this effect by changing the

contrast of the clip during the editing stages of the production.

Post production phase

Because of a really successful production stage, the process of editing the clips was made a

lot easier. However, before I could begin editing I needed to import the actual song. This

was the only problem that I came across during the editing process as the song wasn’t

compatible for Adobe Premiere Pro. This meant that a lot of time was lost as I had to record

the audio from the song on to an external source to create a new MP3 file. After all the

audio was sorted I was then able to begin editing the footage. The hardest part of making

the video was getting the lip syncing in time. This was the most time consuming part of theprocess, the colour contrast for the outdoor scenes only took a short while after the clips

had all been placed.



Detail How You Solved Problems

For the first shoot, the camera ran out of battery which meant we had to put filming on hold

whilst the camera charged. Due to this we managed to miss some of the good weather

outside. However, time wasn’t completely wasted as we filmed some of the interior shots

whilst the camera charged. To resolve this I decided to charge all the cameras over nightbefore the next shoot.

Prioritising (How and what did you prioritise during your producing)

When filming, we prioritised the outdoor shots. This was so that we could get the best

natural lighting for the video. I also wanted to make sure I filmed all the scenes from the

bedroom at the same time. This was because the lighting from the window may have

changed over time giving the video an unnatural and unprofessional look.

Modifications (Why did you modify your work and what was changed during post-

production)

The only significant modification I made to the production during the editing stages was the

timing of the black and white effect turning to colour. The effect was originally going to

happen when the shoe box was opened. However, it didn’t fit in to the flow of the video and

looked a lot more natural when he began to walk in the shoes.
