Intro to new project ; music video

Today we are starting our new project which is to create a minute and 5-15 second video. We want to at least record enough scenes to have the time add up to one minute and twenty seconds. We said one minute and twenty seconds because we know that when editing scenes normally get cut which shortens the time. In out last project we went over time because we didn't properly time our takes. In the last project what worked for my group was story boarding. Story boarding helped us getting a more organized idea of what we wanted our film to look like. Story boarding assisted us with choosing the proper angle shots to film certain scenes at. For example, while story boarding helped us figure out that we could add a trunk shot into one out of the six scenes. On the contrary, using pinnacle studios didn't work for us mainly because of the glitches that came with it. We switched to iMovie because it was easier to work around and it wasn't as glitchy or complicated as pinnacle studios.
My group and I chose to do the song "Catch me Outside" by Ski Mask the Slump God. We chose this song because we want to create a music video with a fun vibe that can include all of our friends in it. The theme of our video is basically girls hanging out with each other. The main scenes will be recorded at the mall. Other scenes will be shot at different locations such as the park or the car. Our song lies in the genre of rap. In this genre the sound that is typically heard is loud bass and a nice beat. Most rap songs are fast and upbeat while others have a slow tempo with a good corresponding beat.In rap songs the songs begin to get hype during the chorus, which usually consists of a catchy slogan. Our songs catchy slogan is "Catch me Outside". In most rap videos the editing is very different from different videos. Some rap videos use different angle shots such as low shots, trunk shots, or tracking shots. My group plans to include all of these shots in our video. The people in our video will be given instructions to dance and have fun once the recording starts. We want the video to have a fun/chill vibe that appeals to this generation.
The costumes will be regular everyday clothes that teens wear. The costumes will consist of a tee shirt jeans or shorts and shoes. The lighting for our music video will come from outside. We plan on recording during the day and during the night. At night we will record near a light so the actors will be seen. The actors in the music video will be some of our friends and family members. We already have people that we asked to be in the film. There will be no make up in this video unless its necessary. When it comes to props we will have many. The car and anything in our setting will be considered as a prop. The main setting will be at Sawgrass Mall. This setting gives off a fun vibe which is what we are going for. I'm ready to start planning and shooting our music video.
