We B-Rolling

B-Roll list

So before filming, we need a general idea of what we are doing so we don't go to waste our time or most importantly the band's time. We came up with many ideas but however, but we are just going to go with the flow once we are there.

These are some of the shots that we are considering doing but we are freestyling it once we get there. Sofi and I started planning and brainstorming ideas for shots however we couldn't come up with that many, but we just want to have a general idea of what we had to do. We had to put a lot of thought into the shots since we don't want the video to be repetitive we want it to be interesting and engaging for the audience so that they do not get bored while watching the video. The band offered to bring props such as flowers, a cake, a mirror, and obviously the instruments. We hope to get some basic shots, some solo shots, and some random shots of the band being together doing random things, such as running around the park, or jumping and things like that which make the video fun and interesting. 

Alo?

Phone Call! 

So today we did a phone call altogether!! It was so nice to listen to everyones voice and meet the band. We did a normal call because doing a facetime call was to complicated so we all connected through whattsapp and talked about the upcoming weeks and the plans we had. 

First we talked about the photoshoot that we were going to have. We discussed the outfits and the vibes that the fit should give. We decided that we wanted something chill but giving the vibe that they are rock stars. We decided on the location of both the photshoot and the music video.....

IT'S AT THE BEACH!!

We came up with this idea due to the fact that Sofia recently went to LA and saw all the beaches and everything which gave her the idea that it would be the perfect vibe for the photshoot. Then we disscused about time and decided that evening would work amazing, and we would do the photoshoot and after the music video.

The band said they wanted something natural that didn't look to planned out, so we decided to just do a video with a bunch of random clips of the band doing random things at the beach. Then they also came up with the idea of pretending that they are playing in the air and with random things so we are going to do our best to incorporate that in the music video.

After, we talked about an issue we have since one of the members is on a trip and it is going to be very hard for her to come to the recoridng since she comes back on Sunday afternoon which is when we planned on recording, so we decideed that for now she is cut from the music video however, we will try to figure something out so that we can include a few clips of her.

We later decided who would bring what, the band obviously is bringin their instruments, then sofi is bringin a camara that she has which is kind off old so that we can get some cool pictures with that, and then Gerardo and I both have proffesional camaras so we are bringin thoes. Later Sofi has a sort of pannel that cover up people to be able to change so she will bring that so the band can change between fits without any trouble.

We are very excited for Sunday, it's going to be a very productive day and then we beging to edit and done we will be realising the music video to Black Cat by PLUTO the band!!!

CONTEST

Participation is HIGHLY encouraged!

We finally made the post for our contest in where one of the bands fan will have the opportunity to be a part of Plutos music video.

We created a story post which will be placed as a highlight so it’s up 24/7 in where we communicated everything that had to be done.

First:

We created a poll to introduce the topic to others of what is coming. We tried to stick to the same purple theme as the background and added a few details with the colors pink and blue to make it more aesthetic since it looked super emotes without it. We did this to engage the audience and get them excited and curious about what is happening.

Second: 

                        

Then we introduce the steps that need to be done in order to participate in the contest and everything they have to do in order to win!

Third: 

                   

Then we posted a story with everything they will receive if they win the contest encouraging them to participate everything is exclusive which is something that makes them thing about how this is a once in a life time opportunity encouraging them to take a part in this amazing contest! 

We are hoping that this will build suspense for the music video building a larger fan engagement since they will be able to be a part of something bigger helping people build the tension before the music video is released! We don’t know when we will announce the winner but we will post the date in a highlight, it will probably be between the 1st and the 2nd. 

Schedule

Next few weeks

After mix ups and mix downs we were finally able to communicate and come up with the perfect schedule to be able to complete the project.

It was very hard to come up to the conclusion of something since we all have busy life’s and it’s hard for 8 people to coordinate something but we finally did it. 

We first came up with a schedule with Gerardo and Sofi.

Then we communicated it with the band, however the band did not agree and sent us their calendar with their availabilities.

     

They said that the days with the green ‘X’ were the only days they had available. My group and I worried since the project is almost due however after discussing all together and many changes we came up with a schedule that worked perfect for all 8 of us.

*POSIBLE SCHEDULE*

Phone meeting: march 29 at 4pm

Photo Shoot: Sunday April 3rd 

VIDEO RECORDING: April Sunday 3rd/ Tuesday 5th

This is our schedule we hope to be able to stick to in order to complete the project which is due April 10th. We will finish recording the video by the 5th and start editing throughout the 6th and 7th hopefully release the video April 8th. This is our plan up to now and I don’t see and bumps we could have but we never know so we’re crossing our fingers 🤞🏼 and hoping for the best!

History

How I met your band?

It’s crazy how one event can change your life completely, how saying yes to doing something changes your life and it makes a 360 degree turn.

Well this is what happened to Pluto the band, here is the story of how they met and became a band…

Mia and Cameron have a class together, they have music theory together at their high school. Suddenly one day their teacher communicated and asked the class if anyone new or had a band that would be willing to play at our schools home coming. Cameron raised his hand and told the teacher, “Mia and I have a band” even though they did not have a band yet. After that, Mia recruited Jack, Jade, and Gabbie to be a part of the band. They had all previously met at School of Rock and then came together and formed Pluto. They had no intentions to stay together they thought it would just be a one time thing but after seeing how much hype they received after HOCO, they decided to stay together, and now we are here helping this amazing band grow together to become something bigger than they already are!

This is an amazing story and inspiring for other to think of how one sudden impulse could revolutionize one’s life. Sometimes taking a leap of faith can change one’s life for the better and that’s what happened to Pluto and we are super thankful and lucky they did because now we all get to work together!!

Brainstorm

 New Idea!

We recently came up with the idea to create a competition between the band's fans in which one lucky winner gets the chance to participate in the music video with the band as well receive merch that will be autographed by all the band members. The winner will get tech chance to have one on one time with the band and be able to be seen side by side with them in a music video.

We will begin this by making a poster and in the bio of the post we will share all the steps on how to do it:

There are going to steps the public has to follow in order to take place in the contest. This will create engagement and motivate the audience to be more aware of our account.
