Making a Prototype Video


A prototype is an early version of something that is used to test concepts in the pre-production stage. In this setting (a music video) it is important to see if our ideas will translate on camera and if they don't, knew ways we can achieve the desired look and/ or changing the concept. Consequently, the closer the prototype is to the actual video the more accurately we will be able to evaluate whether it worked or not. This is also why we must do the full duration of the song to see if we have enough content to fill the duration of the video.

We will film it on our phones for efficiency and ease and it will then be easy for us to export onto a laptop to edit it. From this video we will learn if things such as: setting, costume and performance will work as well as seeing if the elements fit together in terms of it being coherent with the song, video and actors. 

With this in mind, we used our time today to create a rough storyboard of the shots/ content of different shots so that we knew what specific shots we would need (other than wide, middle and close shots). This will also make it easier to edit if we already have a clear vision of what order the shots will be and when different elements will be introduced.
