Mood board.


This is our mood board that we done in class it is what we would like our music video to have in it, our music video needs to be very colourful and work well with the music and be very very bold and brass. That means that we have to a lot of different stuff to other music videos.

Images of possible shoots for night club scene.













Today we looked at the possible place were we could shoot out night club scene because obviously we are not going to be able to get into a club and there is not really a possibility they will let us film in there anyway, so we was thinking of going in here and then we will put up some lights but the good thing about this room is as you can see it is all black so that means we can just film in one conner and don't have to use the whole room. But this is just one of our ideas.
