Planning Blog MV

 Props: Since my group has decided to do a country love song, our props will include a car, cowboy hat, phone and flowers. We will use those props to make our music video feel like a typical country music video. This will add to the theme we are trying to portray.

Costume: In the music video 2 group members will be the main characters while the other 2 are filming. Our actors will be wearing country style clothing such as jeans, flannels, cowboy hats, and boots. These clothes are typically seen as the country aesthetic and will add to the country love story that is being depicted. The jeans will be navy blue and the flannels will be red and checkered. They will appear casually dressed and not too clean, we are going for an authentic cowboy and cowgirl look. 

Schedule:

On 11/9/21, our group researched conventions and codes of country music videos.

On 12/4/21, our group will continue filming.

On 12/7/21, our group will edit and do the finishing touches on the music video.

Location List

The main location of the music video will be a group member's house. We will film on the road and the park near her house. This will be a good place to film because the open road is similar to other country music videos.In the song the singer states "kick your pretty feet up on my dash," the actress will do that as the actor is driving to get the vision the singer is trying to create.  Also we will be able to get creative with the actors' movements because there will be plenty of space. We will also need the road in order to get a shot of our actors driving in the car. 

Our second location will be the park and this is where we will film more of the close-up scenes of the 2 actors. This will be a good place to film close-up scenes because it is less busy and will be easier to get a clear shot. This will be filmed at night so the two actors will stargaze for a few of the scenes.

Backup Plan

​​If the weather is not good we will likely have to reschedule for a sunnier day because the sun is a part of our setting, however if the weather does not seem to be clearing up anytime soon we will work through the rain and film under covered areas in the park.
