Concept Video Prep

As part of an assignment I had to create my own concept video. I firstly looked at other concept/fashion videos and then started to plan my own beginning with a mind map of everything I wanted the video to have in it.

As my chosen sport is car racing I wanted to have footage of racing cars which I knew would be difficult as it would be hard to access a car race track so I decided for them particular scenes, I would use secondary resources from the internet such as YouTube.

My initial idea was to focus on car racing but also the concept of time as time is an important factor of racing as you are racing against the clock to become the fastest. I also thought about the time it takes to get somewhere when travelling in a car so wanted to add some scenery to my video that you would see whilst travelling.

In the mind map I have included the basic things that I want to have featured in my video and below I have written a small story board of what I want to include in each scene with slightly more detail. I decided to write the story instead of drawing a story board as I personally find it easier to understand and my drawing skills aren’t the best! It was much easier to have a plan of my video as I then knew the direction where I wanted to go with it.

The last image is of my concept film moodboard which was the first thing I created when collecting ideas for my film. This helped me to see clearly with images the these I wanted to include in my video.
