Shot List

I decided to create a rough shot list for our music video so that I could envision the music video in my head and therefore feel more prepared for shoot day. This list is rough and bound to change when I come round to editing our music video but I felt that it was necessary to have a rough idea and also so that we know what kind of shots we want to film on our shoot. 

Shot list:

5 seconds before song starts: artist walks into the sofa set and takes a seat as the music starts. Tracking shot, She walks in in a low mid shot, diegetic sounds of feet

0.00-0.07 she crouches down she her face is in the mid shot (after the tracking shot stops), she lights a candle on the coffee table, can contain some close ups of things In the room, posters, fan, plants etc.

0.08-0.17 as she takes the match and blows it out, close up is used, then a mid-shot of her going to sit on the sofa, cutting on the action (her getting up) camera starts to zoom in

0.17-0.19‘really wasn’t thinking bout you’ camera is face on with artist sitting in the middle of the sofa, it zooms in to a close up, artist then turns her head to the left

0.19-0.26 ‘saw you across the room guess you real cute but I’m a mess was you even thinking bout friends’ transition the artist finishes turning her head with the camera now to her side

0.26-0.29 camera swipes to the right wall, she is sitting down on the floor ‘you came out of nowhere greeted me with open arms’
