Music Video Assignment

Requirements:
Students will shoot a music video that is no longer than five minutes.
Music videos must have a concept, theme, or story (not 100% lip-syncing).
Students may work with two other people, but everyone must edit their own version of the video.



Students must turn in a one-page typed treatment. Most videos have an interesting concept such as a fake TV show, a backwards video, a dance video, a live performance video, or simply an interesting story. Your treatment should explain in detail your concept and how you plan to make this concept come to life.

Your treatment should answer the following questions in Text Edit or Notes:
1. What is your story or concept in great detail? Don't forget big ideas, editing and shooting style etc. Your answer should be 4-5 sentences.
2. Who are you working with on this project (inside or outside of class)?
3. When will you shoot?
4. Do you need class time to shoot?
5. What song are you using? How long is the song?
6. What props or costumes will you use?

Please drop Treatments into the Vidstore Server.


Videos must have one at least one eight-shot sequence.
Storyboards of the video are required.

Videos shots must use proper technique discussed in class: good headroom, proper white-balance, leading the subject, focus, and steadiness. Grading of these shots will be more difficult than the last project.

Raw footage is due at the end of the period on Wednesday, November 12th.
