Music Video Shot Chart

A shot list is a full log of all the shots you want to include in the music video production; essentially it is a checklist filled with minute details that will give a sense of direction and efficiency towards the music video.
It’s essential to take into consideration the following elements when producing the shot list:
  • Artists/individuals in the shot
  • Type of shot
  • Camera movement
  • Major actions
  • Important objects
The grand purpose of the shot list is to make sure that every part of the music video is assigned a shot. We have a set criteria of what we need to film, so we create shots, interpreting the story visually with the camera.

Another process we could have gone for in this preproduction stage is the storyboard in order to direct the music video

The story board is a collection of images that showcases the angle and type of every shot, as well as which characters and objects are in the frame.
The storyboard is important because it allows the director and cinematographer to visualize the shot and agree on where the camera goes. Once we have that agreement, we can look at the storyboard in front of the group and easily visualise the overall aim of the music vide. In this sense, the storyboard is more complicated and time-consuming than the shot list.

The preproduction process we chose in the end, after careful consideration, was the shot list I have made this available for you to see below, allowing you to get the main gist of our ideas, however this shot list can be ever changing as we develop our ideas and begin seeing what works and what doesn't throughout the production process, therefore you may be surprised when you see the finished product (pleasantly I hope).

Marketing

Hey guys! Today I am going to focus on the marketing of our company. Marketing is a very important aspect. Promotional strategies and marketing go hand in hand. Marketing our company and artists will involve different aspects of manufacturing, promoting and selling the artists and our company products to the target market. In order to benefit from audiences to the best we can, we have to first of all understand the target market we are entering. Having a solid and well-thought-out marketing plan can help you identify gaps in the music industry and provide feasible solutions for your clients. Understanding what our customers want and are missing is essential in the business. The 4 P's are the most important  part in the marketing process: Product - The product is going to be our artist herself, Sav (played by Eloise) and the album/music she creates. In many ways this can be seen as not only providing a product for consumers, but also a service, Music i...

Salt sisters join Instagram

Hi guys! We have recently joined Instagram to further adapt to our fan base for our artists, and constantly let it grow. I have researched some statistics for you to see, Instagram has massively grown over the years and these statistics prove that marketing on Instagram is a smart move: Instagram has over 500 million active monthly users Instagram users have shared over 40 billion photos to date and share an average of 95 million photos and videos per day. The amount of users which Instagram has enables us to reach a huge audience with our artists and products, allowing the growth of each artist to take their own pathway on social media. It allows us to reach a new audience in a way that the audience wants to be marketed to, using visuals and short messages. Instagram pictures provide a collage, giving the audience a much richer insight into the story of our artist 'Savannah' and also our company itself 'SaltSisters'. Instagram enables us to promote everyt...

This is why we are going to be using our twitter to target, re-target and ...
