Music Video: Production Notes 1

This is an update on the progress of my music video assignment for Shepherd University's Music Video class.

Due to the lack of a song as well as a deadline on my part, only the lead singer of the group I was originally working with could be the talent that I am making a video for.

My talent already had a song recorded, so that song has been chosen for the video. The song is called "Home Coming" and it has a very patriotic theme. Due to the patriotic theme in the song, I will be looking for creative commons footage of soldiers to use with the permission of the creators.

The introduction of the song lends well to the image of an American flag against a clear blue sky. I will tie that image in throughout the video, for example later in the song the lyrics mention looking into the sky to see a single airplane flying high above.

I will be using the studio to record some footage of my talent for the video; specifically I would like to back light my talent for part of the bridge of the song. My talent and I are in contact about when she can come to the studio to record.

I went to an event that my talent was performing at and took some footage, but the lighting was not the best, so I'm not sure if I will be using the footage or not.
