PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS!

PER GROUP:
**You song name (and performer/band/vocalist) will be the 'name' of your music video**
Concept/Treatment - your idea for your music video and then a break down of what it will look like. You will detail what type of music video it is. You will also include conventions (shots, angles, effects, colours, etc) you will use to create the 'look'
of you music video.
Target Audience - who is your music video for? Consider 'lifestyle indicators for specifics. How will it appeal to them? So link conventions to your target audience.
Storyboard - is a visual depiction of your music video. It shows every shot, accurately drawn.
Script - is the aural depiction of your music video. So it is a break down of the lyrics, sound FX, voice overs, dialogue per shot.
Critical Path (or Timeline) - is a grid. This is a break down of periods, intervals, lunchtimes, before or afterschool slots over the course of weeks this and next term - and what needs to be done WHEN and DEADLINES.
***EDL (Edit Decision List) AFTER you have finished filming it is a log of ALL the shots and takes and the timecodes. You will put this into another grid and have a column that you will tick or X to say what shot/take you will be using in your video from your footage.
