Pre-lim Planning


Our idea for our pre-lim is to re-create a small section of a music video, the music video which we have decided to create is Eminem - My Name Is. We have decided to create 15 seconds worth of this video which is the time between 0:45- 1:00 as we believe this will be an easy time slot to re-create.

Within the preliminary video we are going to recreate the scenes which include the artist laid down on a chair with his arms inside his clothing, so we will have our artist in a similar looking hoodie with his arms within his clothing to have the same affect as the original video. I believe that this will be effective as we will be able to create the video how it looks in the original one.

Eminem - My Name Is

Roles:  Main artist - Jordan Gregson
Doctor - Brandon Playford
Camera man - Emily Rawles and Kirsty Robertson




Storyboard:
This is the storyboard which Kirsty created for our Pre-lim task, this shows all the shots which we will be doing in the 15 seconds of our video.




Locations:
We are planning to film the whole of our Pre-lim in our college building, we want to use a classroom which has a sofa in it to be able to show the artist (Eminem) laid on a bed as he is within the original video. The photo to the left shows the sofa which we will film the preliminary task to make it similar. 
We also want a shot of the artist in the lift at college as it resembled the lights in the original music video, this would be effective as we would able to create the same impression which had originally been created by Eminem in his music video. The photo to the right shows the lift which will film in. 
Filming Schedule:
For filming our Pre-lim task we have booked to use the college cameras three different times in order to film the preliminary task successfully.
The dates which we are due to film on are; 

- Monday 14th January 2016
On this day we plan to film Jordan and Brandon when they are in the room which includes the sofa as breaking up the filming over the course of a week will make it more effective and we will have time between filming this section to make a start on the editing before we film the next section the week after. 

- Wednesday 20th January 2016
On this day we plan to film Jordan within the lift where he is seen singing into the camera, we gave more time for this shot in order for Jordan to know all the words correctly for the music video so that it looked professional and realistic.

- Thursday 21st January 2016
This date is to go over any filming which we may have missed through the filming or if any shots do not fit and they have to be done again.



Lyrics:
As we are only filming 15 seconds of this music video we are only using a small amount of lyrics from the video. The lyrics which we are using are below;
But I can't figure out which Spice Girl I want to impregnate (Ummmm...)
And Dr. Dre said, "Slim Shady you a basehead!"
Uh-uhhh! "So why's your face red? Man you wasted!"
Well since age twelve, I've felt like I'm someone else
Cause I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt



Props and Costume:

In the Pre-lim we want our artist to be wearing a light coloured hoodie (grey) with their arms inside it to replicate what Eminem is doing in his music video. The photo to the right shows the hoodie which we want the artist to be wearing a similar one too. This will meet the codes and conventions of a rap music video as they are usually in tracksuits and as this being a hoodie can resemble a tracksuit.
