Research and Planning: Rough Shot List Guide

After looking back at footage so far, and having outside observers watch some of our footage; we realised that our opening footage had dull lighting, and the overall filming was fuzzy. Furthermore, we hadn't filmed any performance elements of our artisit singing.

We decided to think of other possiblities for the opening, that included performance elements. Below is the rough draft of our Shot List for the opening of our music video:
