4.2.1 Checklist for planning a record

Student Bookpp 120–29

It is important to get the planning stage of your record creation just right. You will need to be very clear about what you want to record and how you will do it. Working individually or in a small group you must:

find a range of records that you like or that have inspired you

- Music Video (Michael Jackson - Thriller)

- Documentary (An Islamic History of Europe)

- Short films (Animation – Short animation alarm)

- Silent Short Film (“The Waiting – black & white”)

- Radio Clip (Max Chocolate)

think about how these records were created

The first 4 of these records were created using a video recorder but different ones in different times. The radio clip – Max Chocolate was probably recorded on to a CD and played in radio stations, it was made with some sort of voice recorder in a studio.

think about how you could create your own record

I can create my own record by using a video recorder as everyone will be making a music video in groups of 3-4 people.

think of suitable ideas for your record

We have chosen the song Niraj Chag – Ur jaa. The storyline we have come up with is that there is a girl the wants to leave home but her mother doesn’t let her. We see the girl meeting up with her friend in the park and talk to her about everything. Towards the end of the video it’s going to be her wedding day and her mother doesn’t come to it and she is sitting in her dressing room getting ready. Then there is a split screen for the last scene of the girl crying and her mother crying too.

choose one idea to develop further.

You should produce an illustrated report on your investigations into records, how these have influenced your ideas and what you are going to produce. Your illustrated report could be produced as a presentation using PowerPoint, a written report with illustrations, a video or audio programme or a website.
