Upon deciding as a class which music video we wanted to re-create, our task then was to storyboard, assign roles and comprise a list of equipment and props needed when filming. Assigning roles which most suited everyone was the first job in hand, which then gave us all something to get on with individually or as groups. For example, two people were chosen to storyboard due to artistic ability and began re-watching our chosen video and taking notes on the transition of shots, timing etc. A director was assigned almost immediately, and as George had a camera of his own and seemed the best person to film, he therefore took the position of camera-man. Others in the group again re-watched the video and took notes on costume choices, props etc., such as suits, helmets, drumsticks and guitars. We then arranged as a class who could get hold of said equipment and what day it was needed. After the storyboard had been completed and everybody knew which part they had to play, deciding on a location to film was next on the agenda. Our chosen video limited where we could film to a space with a dark background but which was also well-lit, and so we considered using either the main hall, the AV studio or the drama room if this would be accessible. The main hall seemed to provide the best space to work in as it was the biggest, enabled us to film in front of a dark background and gave us access to built-in lighting and sound, as well as the opportunity to use the stage. As the main hall is a space used by all of the school, we took it upon ourselves to book the space in advance during our lesson time so as not to jeopardize our chances of filming.
