This is only a draft of creating a magazine post, for the project. This is done so that I can get an idea of what we as a group can do.

action plan

As a group we have to create a music video and promotional advertisement . Our first task was to research bands we could create a video for. Although possible to use well known bands, it is easier due to copyrights to use unsigned and/or lesser known bands. We searched the internet using google searched and websites such as Myspace.com to search bands, plus our personal knowledge of local talent.

The bands we shortlisted:

The Scholars
The Midnight Beast
Rob Pope

Week 1 Introduction to the course
2 Research/Choose band
3 Cast roles, look at shot types, complete story board
4 Complete 4 ‘reccies’ for filming
5 Begin filming
6 On location Filming
7 Filming
8 Editing
9 Editing
10 Editing
11 Editing
12 Plan promotional (eg. DVD cover, adverts)
13 Create promotional
14 Create promotional

This is an original action plan that we will try and stick too. We had already started our research and are trying to get inspiration, to do this we have looked at classic and powerful music videos such as Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ as well as new and unknown videos such as The Midnight Beast’s ‘House Party’ to get a wide look at the music video spectrum.
