Health and safety considerations
For shooting it is important that I look into health and safety as it is essential no one gets hurt making the video. As I am only using one room the potential hazards are very limited. The blue room that I am filming my video in contains laptops and other electronical devices. It is important I take care with wires lying around on the floor as someone could possibly trip and be injured. I also must be careful of an other objects that may be in the room at that time, and clear the space that I am using.

Planning
Ideas
For my video I have been inspired by the original video for No surprises by radiohead. In the video we see the singer of the band performing infront of the camera with a close up shot. The video is quite a simple idea but is very effective. I have drawn ideas from it, for example my video is going to consist of a performer singing infront of the camera, however I plan to change the singers many times throughout the video. I aim to do this by panning the camera left and right, with the character changing once the shot reaches its original place. I aim to have 5-6 singers in the music video, singing different parts of the song. Another idea that I have drawn from the original is the lights. As the performer is singing lights flash around him, giving the illusion of being in another world. I aim to implement this into my video, but am currently experimenting with how to do this. I could possibly film lights flashing on and off in a dark room but i could also have the lights in the background when im filming the performers. I am going to decide shortly which option is overall better and more effective. In this video i beleive there will be a few difficulties I must overcome in order to make the video effective. For example as there is a performace in the video I will have to correctly sync the words of the song with the lip movements of the character. This will require careful planning and will have to be well executed. As well as this I want the background to be very simple, with just black. For this I will have to edit the blue background as I am going to use the blue room. I am using the blue room simply for this reason as it will make it easier for me to edit.
Location
As previously said I am going to set my video in the blue room. I am doing this as i need to fill the background black and the blue will make this a lot easier. It also allows me to shoot my video in light instead of it being in minimal light to achieve the desired effect. This is the only location I will use in my video. As well as this i plan to film lights flashing on and off in the room, but first I will test whether it is effective and possible. I will also require very few props in the video as I want a very minimilistic, simple look. Due to my videos lack of obvious narrative very few other locations will be required.
