REECE - Risk Assessment

We completed the risk assessment form for the places we will be filming our music video at and then signed it off. Majority of our risks were low/medium and easy to deal with.

Story Board

We have created a detailed storyboard of the first 16 scenes of our music video. We covered most of the things we will be using with props and different angles and what scenes have choreography in there.

Prop List

Props
We have chosen to use these props for our music videos as they link well with the lyrics of the chosen song. For example, the lyric "fifty million round the world" we thought the actress will spin the globe and where the lyric ends with "and they say I couldn't get it" the actress will stop the spinning globe and look into the camera with a fierce expression. The crown will be used as a part of costume for the lyric "the one that they call me queen" to emphasise the lyric as well as the royalty. For the money prop we've thought of linking it to the lyric "getting money, divas gettin' money" and have the actress use the money as a fan. The prop emphasises the idea of her getting a lot of money and being a "baller."

Costume Plan

This is a mood board for all three actors on the video. One of these outfits - the queen outfit is specifically for the main actor of the video - are for the actors as in the original video they all wear similar costumes. We chose to look at cropped shirts to sexualise the women as many women in the R&B industry are sexualised. We chose to use heels to portray the message of power in the song. The queen costume is to emphasise the lyric "the one that they call me queen."

Branding/Style Construction

From researching existing record labels, we've designed our own on Photoshop. The record label are called Gold Recording (GR). We chose this style of font as it has a sophisticated and polished element and the colours represent the mainstream pop/RnB genre. We used a black background as we identified that as a typical code and convention of RnB record labels as it forces the letters to stand out. The 'G' is coloured in gold to emphasise and represent the name of our record label.
