Class Trip

 The media classes of AS and A2 were taken for a class trip to the Pakistan TeleVision, PTV Headquarters in Islamabad. We got to see the way the media environment works at a national news station. We got to sit through a live news broadcast and we got to see how the green screen works along with all the equipment to give smooth transitions and backgrounds. We saw the ways the lights and mics were placed to optimise their use which is something we plan to follow in our project. 

We also learned about the transmittence of news, technological convergence in the real world and got to meet some amazing journalists as well as some broadcasters. Furthermore, we were introduced to some editors and producers who gave us tips on how to do things. 

Prop List

 We wanted to include certain items that would be repeated in all our products. This would create a sense of branding by linking all the items together. 

This includes:

1. Mic
2. Speaker
3. Rings
4. Chains
5. Skateboard

Detailed Plan

 After compiling some ideas, we decided to make a detailed plan of our music video. We wrote out the lyrics and then made a line by line plan of what each shot would look like and what we planned for each. We've learnt that it is better to be prepared.

Random Details

 We wanted there to be small details that carried throughout the products to create a sense of branding. We planned out some ideas for what they could be.

Planning

 We began the intial planning of our music video by listening to the songs around a million times and visualising what we thought it looked like. Then we sat down and started listing some ideas we had for some shots. 

Moodboard

 We decided we wanted to create a moodboard for our project as well as the other details like the color palatte and the inspiration videos. So we put together all the other details we collected to form one moodboard.

Our Artist

 After deciding on a song, we needed to find an artist who fit the criteria. The artist needed to not only match the vibe of the song but also the aesthetic of the video. He also needed to be comfortable in front of the camera. After a long period of searching, we finally found our perfect artist:
