Planning

Today, 11/19, we are planning out our music video. When planning out our music video, we need to consider many things, such as: Location, Health and Safety, Props, Costumes and the schedule that we need to stay consistent with.
1.  Location- For our music video, we will be filming at the beach. Since the song is a happy pop song, we figured that it would be appropriate to film here. The beach is a good place to film because we don’t need to worry about approval or denial. We will also be filming in a car, next to the beach.  However, if this location does not work out, our backup location would be at a park, or at a parking lot in the car. All of these locations would be appropriate to the song, but hopefully we will be able to film at the beach.
2.  Health and Safety- As we are planning to film at the beach, there is not many precautions we can take to be safe. We are not planning to go in the ocean, so we will not need to worry about having a lifeguard for safety precautions. However, when we are in the car, we will need to be wearing seatbelts.
3. Costumes- From all of the research that we did and the other music videos of pop songs, we have seen that most of the clothing that is worn is all casual clothing. It would not make sense to dress up in fancy costumes, at the beach. We are planning to wear casual clothing, like t-shirts and shorts.
4.  Props- When we are at the beach, we will be using certain props like footballs, or volleyballs and more. We will be using these props to be protraying kids having a good time and enjoying life, which is what the song is expressing as well. We will also be using a car, to show us listening to music and having fun in the car.
5. Schedule- The following schedule lists all of our dates that we are planning to film and complete other blogs:
