Equipment

• Camera

What I’ll need to clear

• Willing actors to be in the video.

• Music played in the background – email the artists management asking permission to use the song and explain what its for.

• Can I have it animated?

• Film the real college but the character/s in it be cartoons?

Music

• I want to have a think of what song or mix of music I want as I want it to be relevant to the video and tell a story with the video, so they go together well and compliment eachother.

• I will either have one song or switch between a few to suit the mood and give an idea of the atmosphere.

Story plan

1) Based on 1 person, walking into the college, looking at it from outside, taking a breath and going to walk away but then seeing someone they know and them saying are you going in?!

• 2) They go inside and sit in on the different courses as if they were part of that course.

• Record a quick clip of them having dinner on the chairs downstairs and laughing and the music students having a jam and sing along.

• End it with the student smiling and looking at the camera from a distance.

• 3) Preperation I need to write a script for me -the narrator. I will do this after recording and when I’m watching it back.

• I need to write a script for the student on what I want them to say and when I want them to say it.

• I want a girl actor who starts off shy and gradually comes out of her shell

• Somehow include gateshead college slogan –‘hire education’

• Get the student or 3 different people in 3 different situations to say ‘Hiya’ ‘work myself higher up’ ‘Ive been hired’ or ‘your hired’ to show the 3 contents of the word of how it can be used. And to pin point 3 stages in the video.
