First of all we watched the video 'Thriller' and filled in a table on different aspects of the video and how it can relate to the genre and music followed by other videos we chose in groups.
We then came up with ideas and wrote out a synopsis and drew a storyboard of what would happen in our version of the music video for midnight at the oasis.
We produced a storyboard showing a more detailed sequence of what would happen throughout the video, timing, costumes. This made it easier to not get lost when filming and putting it together.
Lyrics
Midnight at the oasis
Sing your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces romance in our heads
Heaven holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon
Kick up a little dust
Come on cactus is our friend
He'll show us the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer
Prancer and you can be my sheik
I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him
They all send him
Jump at his beck and call
But you want need no harem
Honey
When I am by your side
And you won't need no camel
No no when I take you for a ride
Midnight. At the oasis
We also produced a mood board to brainstorm ideas we got from the lyrics of the song to give a hint of what we could involve in the music video.
On the second day we began filming our video, we imporvised with the equipment we could use and using the school grounds as a location. We also used costumes from the school drama department and filmed our scenes.
From filming for most of the day, as a group we learnt the amount of intense planning we would actually need and the large amount of things we need to consider when filming.
