Part 2 - Research and Planning

During my research I mainly used forms of social media to find out what my target audience looked for within a music video. I allowed to find out the specific information that I wanted, as well as it being trustworthy. I also found alot of my research from existing music videos of the genre I had chosen. Both of these together allowed me to develop my ideas together.

I used YouTube to analyse existing music videos which helped in picking out the key features to what people may look for in a music video and develop my ideas into what shots I may or may not use during the filming of the video. 

Following on, using software's such as Prezi, Slideshare and Powtoon made presenting my research a lot more easier and fun. It allowed me to show my skills at the same time as presenting my skills, allowing the presentations to be a lot more fun than the same thing every time. 

I found the process of researching for my music video very enjoyable. I like finding new ideas and developing my ideas into something bigger, as well as finding it interesting to see what other people look for. 

Following on, planning for the music video was something that was very important in ensuring that our music video was successful. Firstly, we creating storyboards and scripts that helped us to know what we had done or needed to do. 

We found Celt-X online which was a software to put together scripts. From using this we found that we were a lot more organised and made sure that we had got down every shot that we need to fill the music video. I did find that Celt-X was the most beneficial source of planning that I used, as I knew exactly what I needed to do in a more organised manner. 

Blogger was another way that we were able to stay organised with our planning. It enabled us to keep all of our shot lists and storyboards together if we needed them. 

Finally, without the organisation of the storyboards, shot lists and scripts, our music video would of been extremely difficult to carry out. It may of been difficult for us to know what we needed on a particular day of filming, or what we have and hadn't done.
