Prelim Tasks

We have decided to work as a class (group of 5) to create a music video based around the song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears in a narrative style music video. We are achieving this through splitting up tasks into each person: Madi: Scheduling and shot list, Alina: editing, shotlist, and moodboard, Ben: location scout, Malachy: Editing and gear, Sean: Actor list, costumes. Prior to deciding this we researched and watched a few music videos and annotated them to get an idea of what we wanted, and how best we would convey our choices. Last year one issue I had with my work was that it didn’t seem all that realistic to me – partly I think due to the presence of it mostly being shot at school and in school uniforms. Because of this, with my projects this year I want to incorporate more realistic elements, such as better mis-en-scene and location choices to add more realism to my projects and hopefully get a higher grade. In the case of our mini music video, we are planning on filming at a beach at 5:30-7:30pm in casual beach style clothes to appeal to the 80’s aesthetic that aligns with our song we are using: Everybody Wants To Rule the World by Tears for Fears.
