Preliminary Planning

Costume:
In the re-make of the video, there will be 2 different costumes for our acting artist paige to wear. When the artist is standing on the drama blocks, she will be wearing a grey dress, to try and represent the silver moon. Then when the artist is standing in front of the white screen she will wear all white, to relate back to the initial video.

Location:
We will shoot all of our shots in the drama studio, as its a big black room with no natural environments or props, thus relating to the studio look of the original video. The drama studio  also has a large white curtain that we can use for the shot of the artists in front of the white background. The drama studio also has all the lighting we require for the shots, and we can control various spotlights to try to re-create the original lighting as best we can.

Camera angles and shots:
We have a variety of shots to re-create, all are different angles and positions, and different distances from the artist. We are aware the camera will have to move around a lot, so we will plan appropriately.

Props:
We will need white helium balloons for our twenty seventh shot, and also a bubbles mixture so that we can blow bubbles in this shot also. An important prop we will need is two large black boxes we can put next to each other as a platform for our artists to stand on instead of the moon in the original video. In a couple of the shots the artist will have to sit down on the boxes as well, so we need to take this into account. We will need to buy strings of silvery glitter to lay on the black boxes to try and re-creare the sparkling, white moon. We will also use them for the scene when the artist stands behind the white background.

Lighting:
Although we are going to use the lighting box in the drama studio for our spotlights and adjusting light deterioration or gain in different shots, we may also need extra plug in spotlights due to the size of the room. This is something we are going to research and figure out.
