FINAL PROPS/CAST LIST/MISE EN SCENE/ COSTUMES & LOCATIONS

I have created a FINAL checklist for everything I need for the filming days and also made sure all the actors are definitely taking part! (Need to add locations and costumes)

LIGHTING PLAN FOR FILMING DAY 1

I made a few plans of what lighting I would use in the frame and where about's it should be.

However, after doing so I did some further research and found I needed three main lights.-Key Light - This is the brightest light and lights the subject.-Fill Light- This is placed to the side of the subject near the camera and isn't as bright. It is used to fill shadows.-Back Light- This is placed behind the subject and creates a 3D effect separating them from the background. 

PREMIERE PRO TUTORIALS

Before the editing process, I wanted to figure out how to add some effects and use the tools on Premiere Pro. I did this as I knew some effects I wanted to use but wasn't sure how to so I thought I'd watch a few YouTube tutorials to get myself more familiar with the editing suite and tools so during the editing process I wouldn't be wasting time trying to figure out how to do something and asking people for too much help. 

SPLIT SCREEN/MULTIPLE VIDEOS.
I was looking at some music videos and liked the idea of a few clips all being played together at the same time, such as the one below.

I learnt that to do this I need to add each clip onto the timeline. However, I will need to put each video clip on a separate 'Video 1,2,3' above each other etc on the timeline...(Hard to explain through text so I have print screened a picture)

I will then need to go to the 'Window' tab at the top of Adobe Premiere, and enable 'effect controls' if it's not already selected. From there I can click on 'Effect Controls' and click the sub heading 'Motion Effects'. I then need to click 'Scale' and re-position each clip to the size I want it to be on the frame.

BORDER TO CLIP.

 If I want to add a border to the clip (as they have in the above picture) I will need to go to 'New item>title>frame>rectangle' then click 'no fill' and make sure 'show video' is ticked. I can then play around with the 'strokes', 'inner strokes' and 'colour' tab to get the border accurate.

ZOOM
To zoom in on parts of a clip, I will need to make sure the 'key frame' is selected on a part of a clip. To do this I need to pause the clip where I want it to zoom in, then I need to make sure the alarm clock looking button is clicked under 'effect controls>motion effects>scale'. I would then need to change the scale (percentage of the video) which will then scale the video to a close up shot and when played it will zoom in.

FLASH
To get a flash effect inbetween cuts of a clip or during a clip I need to click 'new item>colour matte' and chose the right colour for my clip. I then need to change the opacity so you can still see the video but the colour will flash quickly. To change how long the colour matte flash lasts, I will need to zoom in extremely close to the clip on the timeline so it's stretched out. I will then need to crop it so it lasts for less than half a second to achieve the effect I am looking for in my video.

COLOUR CORRECTION/TINT
To achieve a more film type finish on my music video/more contrast I need to change the colours and brightness etc. I will need to go to 'Video Effects>Colour Correction>RGB effects' I can then play around with the 'Master/Red/Green/Blue' colours to try create a professional, more contrasted look on my video.
NOTE* Top level of curve controls highlights, bottom level of curve controls shadows, middle level of curve controls midtones. Dragging curve to the left - darker. Dragging to the right- lighter. 
Tint specific object- Effects> Colour Correction Effects> Change to Colour/ Paint bucket.
Change to Colour.... 'From' click the colour you want to change.
'To' click a colour you want to change to!'
*Make sure to click onto the clips and drop the effect onto the clip!*

CROP
Effects>video effects>transform>crop. Then I need to go to 'Effect controls' and play around with the crop scales 'left,right, top, bottom' to crop the clip as needed.

FINAL STORYBOARD

'BEHIND THE SCENES OF..' MUSIC VIDEOS

I decided to look at a few 'Behind the scenes' and 'The making of..' videos to see how the directors used the lighting, mise en scene, camera and set up the scenes in the videos.
Since an influence for my video is 'Bite My Tongue' I decided to look at how the lights set out and what they did to achieve the blue tint effect as the room on the actual music video is a grainy blue. However when they actually filmed in the room has a lot of lighting. Therefore the blue tint must be done in the editing process which I would also need to do if I was to add a colour tint to my video.
I think it's important that the whole cast seem to be working together on these videos as it makes the whole process more fluent and organised.
In the first video the director talks about how they are relating the video to the narrative and he talks about what the song is actually about.
