So the plan, I will be doing for the final piece / video in my case, will be editing a short 3-minute music video that also has a story, so please let me explain my  ideas:

 

The structure of this page will be almost like a blog and will be dated as I make a new section.

This Is My First Idea

 

I have plans to purchase a phantom 4 drone in the next week, however, this will drain my bank account fully, and it requires further thought, nevertheless, the price is a bargain and I feel I may go for it. Anyhow back onto topic now, so I had an idea of going to this local woodland near me where there are thousands upon thousands of pine trees and in this woodland, there are lots of bicycle trails.  Then I had the idea of making a music video where I film my Dad who is a professional mountain biker. To start with trying to go down a hill but failing and progressively throughout the video nail it, however, on the bass drops there will be extremely cinematic and audience catching moments. Like my Dad raging because he can't do it etc, and I film this in slow motion with my GH4 and also some drone shots following my Dad down the trail but from above, however, the conditions would have to be good to make this film and I will need a lot of light as the woodland I want to film is dark and dreary so here is the current time plan for the film.

 

In the first sequence of the music,  is the travel to the woodland. I will use drone shots and a dashboard shot with the Go Pro and also maybe some steady-cam shots with me by the side of the road. 

 

Then on the first base drop my Dad getting on the bike raging he cant do it etc...

 

On the next intermission part of the music video, I film my Dad getting the hang of it.

 

Second bass drop getting the hang of it,  going down the hill, then a big crash, slow-mo shots I will use, I also plan on strapping my Go Pro to my Dad's helmet.

 

Then on the final bass drop, he's got it and its a sequence of going down the track.

 

Then in the calm end of the music, it's my Dad celebrating with a smile on his face cycling into the sunset.

 

This script is due to change as I believe I need to think more before making final decisions.

The Final Plan

 

 

Song: On The Road Again, by Canned Heat.

 

 

This is the plan I am going out with to film my final piece.

 

• 0.00-0.20 minutes: Cinematic shots, use 3 second long shots and also include intro and name of piece.

 

• 0.20-0.40 minutes: getting the bike ready and rolling looking unstable, need to film 7 different shots.

 

• 0.40-1.50 minutes: going down some hills getting the hang of the bike.

 

• 1.50-2.10 minutes: crash and rage scene.

 

• 2.10-2.38 minutes: back on bike cinematic not giving in.

 

• 2.38-3.30 minutes: awesome cinematic and biking cinematic's
