Planning music Blog

In AICE media, we are currently doing a new project. It is a music video. In this project, we will have our choice of music playing over a story. Our group chose the song "Rock Lobster" by B-52. We think this song will be able to play a story while also being humorous. because of the songs theme, we will be filming on the beach. We think the Fort Lauderdale beach will be the best beach to film because it is the closest beach to us. We will also film smaller shots at a group members house and Publix, a shopping center with a lobster tank. In order to the shots at Publix, we would have to ask permission from the manager. We plan to contact Publix before we film there.

Health and safety is the most important part of this project. During this project and all of the parts, (filming and editing) we will make sure we won't play around and stay on task. While going to the filming locations, we will make sure to wear our seat belts because we will not film if we are dead. It is also required by law. On the beach, we will make sure we are not there too long in the sun to reduce the amount of sun we get.

Props are the element that really brings life to our video. For props we are going to need beach props. This includes a beach umbrella, towels, drinks, and sunglasses. These will all help bring out the beach scene. We will also have toy lobster. We have all these except for the plush lobster, which costs about $8.

For costumes, we will need a normal beach goer outfit. This would just be a tank top, beach shorts, and sunglasses. All of the other outfits are just going to be ordinary outfits. The outfits will help bring out the theme of the video.

For our schedule we have our storyboard done and I plan to do the blog for it tomorrow. We plan to film next week. We want to do it in a timely fashion, so we do not have to worry about filming at the and of our thanksgiving break.
