Shoot day roles

We decided to allocate roles for shoot day in order to work efficiently as possible and therefore create the best music video we can. Allocating these roles will also keep us more organised, we will be able to individually focus on certain tasks and therefore each detail of our music video will be executed with more effort. 

Director : Everyone

Because this is a collaborative project where we all donated ideas in contribution to our music video, we think that we should all take on this role on shoot day. We all have a strong grasp of what our music video is focused and therefore will all be able to give direction on the day as a group. 

Editor : Poppy (me) 

I would like primarily be in charge of editing once our music video is finished filming as I really enjoyed this process when creating opening sequence in my first year coursework. I think that I have an eye for detail and therefore I can look for continuity within our video and then piece together shots that look visually appealing together. 

Hair and Make-up : Poppy and Anna 

Both me and Anna will be taking charge of hair and make-up on shoot day. We both enjoy practicing these things in our spare time hence we have experience to make our artists features stand out and look good in the music video- doing her hair and make-up in relation to the aesthetic of our video. 

Costume : Tilly 

Tilly has a strong interest in fashion and works well with colour pallets and so we assigned her this role because she can source costumes that will match the aesthetic of each set in our video. 

Lighting : Poppy

Because I enjoyed the lighting workshop with Matt, I said that I could look over the lighting design for our video. We want to keep the lighting similar throughout to make a coherent video and therefore I will do my best to keep the lighting low-key on shoot day. 

Camera operator : Anna

Anna has a good experience in working with cameras from working over summer and therefore understands the camera well and so she said she would enjoy doing this role on shoot day. 

Clapper board : Poppy

This role is important because it helps to sync up the music with the video being shot- because I am not filming the piece (Anna is), I said that I would take on this role and would be able to focus on keeping the sync between the video and music. 

Behind the scenes photography and videos : Everyone

We are all present on shoot day and therefore will all be able to take photos of the process which we can use in our blogs but also when advertising our artist on social media.

Digipak and Social Media page photography : Tilly

Tilly takes photography A Level so she can then shoot professional pictures of our artist which we can advertise on her social media page as well as put on the digipak. 

Digipak design / construction : Everyone 

We would all like to contribute to the digipak design as we want to make sure we are all content with the design and layout of it. 

Social Media page design / construction : Everyone

Similar to the digipak, we would all like to have roles in creating our social media page for the artist so we can all collaberate with ideas and then be happy on the outcome.
