Shooting schedule

I've made a shooting schedule for my music video:

People: I have decided only to have one actress in my video. I have decided this as I want the audience to focus on the mise-en-scene and the meaning of the song. This will also make filming easier as i won't have to rely on a lot of people. I am going to use Bibi Roberts as my actress, as she fits the genre of the song and has experience in the media industry.

Dates and times: I am going to film on the weekend, mainly sunday but also saturday morning. This is going to be the best time to film, as Bibi has school on the week days and the locations that I am filming in will be quiet on sunday, which will make my filming much easier.

Locations: I am going to film in ingress park and in my garden. These locations are easy to film in and flexible as I can film in them whenever.

Props: I am not going to use many props, but one that I am going to use is a pair of starry glasses. This provides a link from the video to the song and will attract interest and make my video unique.

Costumes: I am going to ensure that the wardrobe that Bibi wears is of an indie genre. As Bibi fits into this genre well, I will be using her own clothes to style her appropriately to the style of the song.

Shot list

I have decided to write a shot list for my song:

Shot 1: a wide shot of the singer walking through one of the main settings
Shot 2: a high angle shot of the singer (1 1/2 seconds)
Shot 3: a wide shot of the singer walking towards camera
Shot 4: a long shot of the singer playing around in a woody, tree setting
Shot 5: a pan across the trees and lights
Shot 6: a close up of the singer wearing starry glasses and lip-syncing
Shot 7: a long shot of the singer sitting in a tree
Shot 8: a medium close up of the singer lip-syncing and acting in wooded area
Shot 9: a long shot of the singer stationary in the scene from the 1st shot
Shot 10: a high angle shot lip-sync
Shot 11: an extreme close up of starry glasses and lip-sync
Shot 12: a medium close up of singer walking through wooded area
Shot 13: a montage of fast cut shots from tree scene, starry glasses and park scene
Shot 14: a long shot of singer sitting in a tree acting
Shot 15: a wide shot of singer dancing
Shot 16: an extreme close up, singer lip-syncing
Shot 17: a close-cut, fast-paced repeated shot of singer dancing through wooded area scene
Shot 18: an extreme close up of singer putting on glasses
Shot 19: a pan of singer wearing headphones lip-syncing
Shot 20: a wide shot of the singer walking away through park scene

In my video I have a lot of repetitive shots, but i have taken into account the pace of the song and shots and have chosen to repeat short clips of the same scene rather than long shots throughout to avoid my video being tedious.
