C- R&B male singers usually wear tight shirts and jeans. They try to appeal to the female fans, and they often want to be seen as seductive. Tight shirts usually bring out they’re muscle fatigue, which most of them have.
L-In R&B videos they usually use dim lights inside of a small room, where they usually look through a window. This helps the audience feel the emotions he’s going through and it creates a sense of sadness. Sometimes they use natural lights to make the send me seem more realistic.
A- The actors in the RnB categories mostly consist of a lead male and female roles. In most of the RnB videos I seen the actors are usually in a relationship, getting out of one, or coming together.
M- In RnB videos the females wear make-up. I noticed that in the videos when the camera zooms in on the female you could see her make-up. So the use omake-up is to make the female more appealing in the video.
P- RnB music videos usually barely incorporate props. Due to the fact that most of the video focuses on the actors unless the Prop is what causes conflict between the actors.
S- In most RnB videos the setting takes place in a room with a back ground, or in a house. Some videos take place outside which will most likely be in the rain.
Shots- for the shots we want to use a extreme close up, to show the actors expression and his emotions. We’re also going to use a two-shot because we realized in lots of love song music videos it shows the boy and the girl. Lastly, we’re going to use a point of view shot because it symbolizes what the main character sees; usually they show how the guy sees the girl walking or laughing in slow motion.
Angles- We want to use the eye level angle because in a lot of music videos the actor is looking up while singing. We’re also going to use a Dutch because we want to make the sense more
Planning Blog
Location- Our male RnB actor will be on the beach walking around while having flashbacks of his lover. We also plan to shoot at the mattress store, in the kitchen area. We want a scene where our male actor is cooking for his lover. Additionally we plan to use the beds in the mattress store. We have a big idea for the use of the mattress store. Of course we will need the approval of the managers.
Health and Safety- We plan to make sure a lifeguard is on duty while we’re shooting at the beach, in case anything occurs. Also on the way to the beach and mattress store, we will be wearing our seat belts. We take safety very seriously. In addition to these safety precautions, we will have a buddy system. So if anyone needs to walk off during our filming process someone will be with them. You could never be too safe.
Props- In our music video we don’t really incorporate that many props. Since the traditional R&B videos doesn’t, but we will be using a bed from the mattress store. Also the kitchen appliances in the mattress store. We want the props to give the video a home feel. The mattress store props will make the R&b singer seem as if he’s home, in his own kitchen.
Costumes- Since traditionally R&b male singers wear tights shirts, to be seductive our male actress will to. We’re thinking a white tight tee. We aren’t completely sure what color yet. The female most likely will be dressed girly, maybe wearing a dress or skirt.
Schedule
On 11/18-11/20 we will be doing our storyboard and planning . On 11/22 we would like to start filming. We want a couple of days to film. So that during Thanksgiving break we’re stress free. The week of Thanksgiving break we want to film that Tuesday 11/26.
Since our video is a love song we are going to start off at the beach with our male actor walking on the beach near the rocks so we can get the water crashing on the rocks. For this scene, we wanted to do a medium close up so we can show the beach but also see the actor's facial expression as he is singing. The scene at the beach is going to be approximately 15-20 seconds. In the next scene, we are going to move to the furniture store this scene our this scene because we need a bed and kitchen set up. In this scene, our male actor and female actor will be "sleeping" in the bed then our male actor will sneak out of the bed and go, cook in the kitchen for his girlfriend. After he is done cooking the meal he will bring it to the bedroom where he will wake up our female actor and give her breakfast. This scene is going to be over the shoulder shot to show the kitchen set up. during this scene, our female actor is going to pick up our male actors' phone and see something that is going to make them get in an argument. This scene is most likely going to be a point of view scene that will switch between both actors. The next scene is going to show our female actor storm away this is going to be an eye-level camera angle. The last scene is going to show our male actor grab our female actor and pull her in while singing. This is going to be a 2 person shot. The scene is going to fade out.
