Planning part one (outline)

 Ok so this is the beginning of the planning process. If I am able to plan this properly then the project should come out as the way I hope. For the first part of planning I went along and created a general outline for the project. This outline is something that I hope to follow that will help develop the meaning of the project and overall just help me have a guide to make sure that this comes out as expected. The outline is gonna be for how I want the music video to go and what things should be implemented to help me reach the meaning that the artist wants to reach. This might change after I talk with the artist again and if it does I will show you guys the changes but to conclude here is the outline I came out with.

1. Opening Scene

• Visuals: Shots of forest with singer in the background. Music starts playing.
