Third Week's Production Meetings

Now that we had our track decided we had to plan out our video in detail. In order to do so we had to create a storyboard.
However, during our production meeting at this stage, we decided that it would be most efficient for half of the group to work on the storyboard while the other half worked on other miscellaneous jobs such as costuming, makeup and props research, and we took turns in the two jobs. This allowed us to be most efficient with our time and get everything done as fast as possible.
We created the following storyboard; more can be seen about this in my storyboard post:

Meanwhile, the other half of the group worked on costume and makeup. We did extensive research into what would look best, as well as asking the actors what they have so we could source as much as possible in order to avoid unnecessary costs.

Costume & Makeup List

We made an initial list of what we would like for the costuming and after discussing these ideas in more detail came to final conclusions at a later date. We also had a meeting with an ex-student in order to learn how to do the make-up that we wanted. This proved extremely helpful and allowed us to have a clearer understanding of make-up.

Our final costuming and makeup along with more in-depth explanations can be seen in my Costume and Makeup post.

We also looked into props so that we could get these ordered as soon as possible due to shooting being imminent. We created an essential props list and researched into all the things we needed. From researching props we were also able to find more props that would look good in our music video. We cut these down to the essentials in order to reduce costs and ordered them as soon as we could.
Once we had these factors decided, and had completed the storyboard, we then created an animatic. This gave us a visual representation of our music video along with images and time coding so we could see what it looked like with the song.
The animatic and details on this can be viewed here.
