Lorde - Bravado First Draft

Planning of Magazine advert

Mind Map of Ideas

Here I mind mapped all of the ideas that I had while planning what I wanted to feature in my music video. While doing this I was listening to the song on repeat so that I could listen to the lyrics as well as the beat of the music so that I could get inspiration from it that way. I started off by doing subcategories for location, costume, shots and a meaning for the song that could also give me ideas for how I wanted my video to look like and how it would be interpreted by my target audience.

Recce shots

 This shot is from a field that I initially wanted to use from some of my shots however when actually going to the site I realised that, although not obvious from the picture it was not suitable to use for my video.








This was a shot from an area that I have also considered for one of my shots that will be set outdoors. This area seems adequate however because of the amount of folliage that is scattered around the area it may be difficult to have good lighting for this area.

 This is how I will be having my studio shots be done, I have transfered my living room into a studio esq setting, as seen I have placed a black sheet up against a wall with two sets of lights pointing towards it. This location is where I will be shooting majority of my shots.

Prop Preperation

I do not  have a lot of props that would be used in the video however I have decided to use a step ladder as a chair. I already own this so I have no issue finding one to use for the video. I decided to use this because instead of using a regular chair having a step ladder would add to the edgy-ness that I want to channel in the video so having this would be ideal.
