Pre-Production
This page consists of the preparation process of my music video, highlighting all the necessary key factors needed to build the final product.

Equipment + Props/Wardrobe
As this is a high school project there was no budget, therefore production will be done with equipment, props and wardrobe that are easily at our reach.
Equipment

Camera equipment:
Camera lenses for distance photos and videos
Props + Wardrobe
The only props I am going to use is herbal cigarettes for the verse ¨Reminiscing 'bout the apricots and blunts on Peckham Rye¨ this is a perfectly healthy alternative to normal cigarettes. I do have to inform that Carla the actress performing 'Jessica' is 18 years old. I got the idea of herbal cigarettes after watching an interview of actor Cillian Murphy who plays 'Tommy Shelby' in the famous show ¨Peaky Blinders' , stating that as the show demanded that the characters smoked they found a healthy substitute so that actors would not become regular smokers.
For the wardrobe design I have decided to make it as basic as possible, encouraging actors to bring what they wear more often on their day to day life. Given also the fact that it is winter wardrobe will mostly consist of puffer coats, blazers and jeans. I will try and avoid actors bringing any colourful/bright pieces of colours as the tone for winter consists more of monotone and cold colours.
Location Analysis
As I decided to use the city of Madrid as my main location it is normal that we often had to stop recording due to obstacles such as people obstructing the shot, people looking at the camera and making a pose or silly faces, pigeons... etc. Our main problem while recording would be people standing right in front of the shot that we were recording, however we found a solution to that; whenever this situation happened I would ask the actors that were not part of that specific shot to barricade the surrounding of the shot, in the form of a human chain and politely ask anyone who would come close to blocking the shot to please move. It required a lot of patience from both my side and the actors side, however each location was carefully selected for its urban appearance for the final product of my music video
