Forming a Plan

     Props - 

Due to the great expense that the location requires, much of the budget is not allocated to props. This is because the set will provide a majority of the props. Fake snow, lights, carnival food are just a few of the props that we may use in the music video.

    Costumes -

Like the videos we reviewed, the actors will be in warm, festive attire. Not as warm as those seen in the music videos due to the climate we live in, but warm enough to emphasis the season. The actors will be wearing colors like red, white, and green. Some will wear traditional Santa hats or reindeer antlers. 

    Schedule - 

11/19/22 - Finish researching, planning, and storyboarding the music video.

11/29/22 - Go to the theme park and shoot all scenes.

11/30-12/5/22 - Edit the footage and finish the music video.

    Location List -

We decided to film our music video at Santa’s Enchanted Forest, a Florida based holiday theme park filled with rides, decorations, and food. The music video will showcase a group of friends going through the park and enjoying it. As a result, multiple parts of the park will be shown. Additionally, the group will be shown getting in and out of a car.

    Backup Plan - 

If we can’t go to Santa’s Enchanted Forest, we decided on going to Tradewinds Park. The park hosts a drive through event where we can show Christmas lights and decorations. The park will be a much cheaper choice than

On the Nice List

 Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at.  Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self.  Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...

It symbolizes the race between Ford and Ferrari, which is the movie"s main plot and title: Ford v Ferrari. This does a great job of foreshadowing the theme of the movie. 4.

Now Let’s Really Plan This Out

  Location: Filming at the beach would provide stunning visuals with the backdrop of the ocean and sand. The players could be shown diving and rolling on the soft sand to make intense plays. A park would offer a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, with trees and greenery in the background, providing a contrast to the fierce competition on the court. Filming at the gym would allow for intense close-ups of the players as they sweat and strain to make every move count, with the sounds of the game echoing off the walls. The contrast of these three locations would add to the dynamic storytelling of a volleyball movie. Participants: As the director and editor, I will be responsible for overseeing the creative vision and execution of the film. I will work closely with the other members of the production team to plan out the visual style, character development, and overall tone of the film. I will also work with the actors to ensure they understand their roles and deliver the best perfor...
