Planning the Music Video Blog

     For our music video we will be filming at Harbour Islands Park. This is the ideal location because it has a dog-friendly atmosphere and is close to our houses. The close proximity is helpful so we can go back and forth to our houses to see the footage easily. Also if their is rain or too many people in the park it is easy to go back the next day to film more. When filming we will make sure to keep safety in mind. We are working with well trained dogs that are familiar with the person they are working with so there will be no issues with the dog harming the actors. We will also be cautious of the other people in the park and their dogs. We will wait until they pass to film so that the dogs don't run at each other. We also have many people helping us hold the dogs that are not being filmed so they do not get out of control.

     The props we will use are dog leashes, a missing dog flyer, tape and other things for dogs like toys and treats. The dog leashes are important because the plot of our story is that their is a missing dog. When the dog is found we show the dog's leash get put on to show that she is now found. The missing dog flyer and tape is important for setting up the video by telling the audience that the dog is missing. The costumes will be somewhat athletic. It will be what people wear to walk there dogs, shorts and a shirt. This is because there is running scenes so the actors aren't wearing jeans or something else hard to run in. Our costumes will not be any school apparel or obvious brand because this music video is not sponsored and must look professional.We will make sure we wear close-toed shoes so their is not safety issues while running. Overall, our props and costume are very minimal.
