Britney Spears Preliminary Task

My preliminary task was to recreate the first one minute and twenty seconds of Britney Spear's hit song "Hit Me Baby One More Time". To accurately recreate the song the first I had to do was to examine the music video with my group. From this the first thing we worked out was what shots we needed and who was going to be in them and how long the shots needed to be. From this we worked out a story board using screen dumps.
We then examined the video further to gain understanding of the choreography of the dance in the chorus of the song. We also found after attempting the dance a few times that it was quite complicated and so we decided that it would be best to practice the dance after school so that we replicated it on the day as accurately as possible.

The last thing that we studied on the video to prepare for the making of our replica music video was to attain the costume design from the video so that we could assemble our costumes so that they were as similar to Britney's in the video. The costume entailed wearing a fitted white shirt, a black skirt, a grey cardigan, black high heels, black knee high socks and a black vests. Also our hair had to be worn in plaits as that is how Britney had her hair styled in the video.
