coursework: pre-production planning

-

 1) TikTok video treatments

1.  My first TikTok will be of the band taking on a fun, creative TikTok challenge where the members will work  together/individually to complete the challenge. The clips would be fast-paced, showing different angles and reactions in order to keep the energy high. The band will also use humour, facial expressions and playful competition in order to engage viewers and to promote themselves as a band.

2. My second TikTok will be an interview of the band. This will include an intro of quick montage clips and the band's name. The actual interview will take place in a relaxed setting for example, a studio or a rehearsal place and each member will be asked both quick-fire and fan submitted questions. The members' answers will showcase each members personality which will engage viewers.

3. My third tiktok will be of the band promoting their merchandise. This will include them unboxing their products, explaining what makes each item special and what connection it has to their music/themselves. There will be short clips and close-ups of the merchandise in order to create an appeal. The background music will include snippets of their songs for promotion. 


2) Mise-en-scene planning

.Set in luxury apartments and dim, neon-lit party spaces
.Predominantly low-key lighting with coloured highlights, shadows dominate
.Urban landscape visible in background - sense of isolation despite the crowd
.Extras appear bored and apathetic, mirroring themes of emptiness despite wealth
.Set in empty hotel lobbies and city streets
.Reflections in mirrors and windows, visual motifs of isolation and duality

.Interview in a natural setting (studio,bedroom,practice room)
.Cuts to music video during interview while explaining
.actor looking at camera
.Interview should be comedic so that band can be relatable

Sandeep acts as an authoritative figure who is trying to find out information from a crime scene. Whereas, I act as a suspicious suspect who's drunk and involved in gangs. Gurleen and Rukiya helped in filming these shots as much as possible and we all worked on editing independently so that we can create a film to our individual liking. SCRIPT .

SANDEEP Remember  last time? It’s game over now! Princess looks at Sandeep in confusion. Sandeep bangs the table. SANDEEP Where is the body? Princess teasingly waves her bottle. PRINCESS What body?
