Planning: Props

Planning: Props

For my music video I won't be needing any specific props, above are pictures of the camera and tripod I will be using to film along side a second camera from Nikon, which will also help me to capture the same shot that is being filmed from another perceptive instead of having to re shoot what is happening to then retake the  When I filmed the choreography part to my music video I brought along a speaker to play the music out of which not only helped Dan (the dancer) to hear what he was dancing to, but would mean that I could here which part of the music Dan was dancing too when it came down to editing.


To the left are screenshots from the clips I have filmed already of the dancing choreography showing Dans clothing. I chose dark clothing for Dan because not only does it contrast with the brightness of the background but when he dances the dark movement will attract the audiences attention. His clothing is also fashionable, matching tight black trousers with a printed black and white top, grey trainers and a gold neckless, something also seen being worn by other hip hop dancers.

Within the linear narrative storyline that I will feature within my music video I will use skateboards and capture close ups and action shots of them being used in skate ramps. I chose skateboards as a prop and to be one of the main featured props used I the story because it will link the narrative with the dancing choreography through the retro locations they will and are filmed in/at (a basket ball court and at a skate ramps). The linear storyline will follow a trip with a group of friends starting off at a train station, the journey towards the skate ramps, clips at the skate ramps which will be the most featured within the storyline and then the trip back.
