Mini-Vid Planning TBC

Planning:

As our mini-vid has a pirate theme through out we needed to organise everything we needed before hand to make the time we had to film sufficient. Because we had to film in a very small time slot we had delegated certain tasks amongst ourselves to use the time effectively.



Costumes:

Eye Patch 

For our costumes we wanted to connote the pirate them of the video, and what better way to connote this than stereotypical pirate gear. Our first accessory was an eye patch we had planned for each of our actors (4) to wear one this signified strongly the theme of the music video as well as linking in with the lyrics 'Jolly roger'



Pirate earring

Following the streotypical theme of pirates, we also opted for the

traditional earring. This will be very handy as the earrings that we will be using are clip on earrings. 



The other prop we used was a pirate hook this signifies the theme of the

pirate hook

song also, our character ben wore this it was a very key piece of mise en scene for our mini-vid.



Location:

Location is a very important factor for our mini-vid because we want to signify our pirate theme through this. We feel that this is key for our mini-vid as it provides key connotations to our audience.

Our first location is the gym:

• Access to props (ropes)
• Good amount of space
• Mats to jump on
• Ladders to climb
• Ropes to swing on
• Mats to use as the 'sea'

The gym is probably our key location as this is where we plan to shoot almost all of our footage. The gym allows us access to a lot of props that we can include in our mini-vid.

Our second location is the school pool:

• Good amount of space
• Access to props
• Goes with our pirate theme
