Tiktok pre-production
Coursework: Pre-production planning
Pre-production is an essential part of the filmmaking process. You now need to plan your THREE TikTok videos in detail to ensure you capture everything you need when filming.
TikTok 1:
The video begins with a medium shot of the band, answering questions about their journey and musical inspirations. As the intro begins, clips of the band performing and behind-the-scenes footage cut on beat with the notes. Sharp edits and transitions sync the visuals to the music while the voiceover continues answering the Q&A. Text correlating to the song shows, and appear in time. The video ends with a tracking shot of the band walking out of the studio into streets, reinforcing their identity.
TikTok 2:
Two members sit in a casual setting answering questions about the song and their creative process. As they talk, the video cuts between the Q&A and clips from the music video, showing shots and visuals. Medium shots and close-ups of the members are combined with jump cuts to keep the pace energetic. Diegetic sound from their conversation is maintained over non-diegetic music . The video ends with the members pointing or waving at the camera, encouraging fans.
TikTok 3: NOVA
The final video mirrors the first but with a more cinematic approach. A wide establishing shot of the band performing in a location opens the video. As the intro plays, tracking shots, extreme close-ups, and slow-motion shots of the members’ performance cut on beat. Text overlays highlight key lyrics and brand messages, while diegetic city sounds blend with the track. The video concludes with a crane shot.
Mise-en-Scène Plan for TikTok Series
Costume
The band will wear streetwear such as hoodies, jackets, tracksuits and trainers. The style will stay the same as the main music video to keep a clear link between the two. The clothes will look realistic and casual to show that the artists are being themselves. This helps show their identity and connection to everyday London life.
Lighting
Lighting will look natural in all three TikToks.
For the interview clips in TikTok 1 and 2, soft daylight will be used from windows or simple room lights. This makes the videos look calm and personal.
In TikTok 3, the performance scenes will use a mix of daylight and evening light. Streetlights and car headlights will help create atmosphere. The lighting will stay realistic to match the style of the main video.
Actors and Performers
The main artist and band members will be the focus of all three TikToks.
In TikTok 1, the group will sit together so the audience sees their teamwork and friendship.
In TikTok 2, two members will speak closely to the camera to make the audience feel more connected.
In TikTok 3, the group will move and perform around the setting, showing energy and confidence. Their facial expressions and gestures will stay natural so the audience sees their real personalities.
Make-up
Make-up will be very simple and natural. Small amounts may be used to make faces look clear on camera but it will not look heavy or fake. This keeps the artists looking real and true to themselves.
Props
Props will be basic and realistic. These may include phones, microphones, speakers, drinks, or studio equipment. They will help show the creative process and everyday life of the artists. Props will make the settings look lived-in and real, keeping the focus on the people and their story.
Setting
Each TikTok will use real places that fit the artists’ identity.
TikTok 1 will be filmed in the studio to show where they work on music.
TikTok 2 will take place in a simple indoor area such as a living room or rehearsal space to keep it personal and relaxed.
TikTok 3 will be filmed outdoors in West London, with streets, flats, parks, or graffiti walls in the background. These settings show the artists’ roots and make the videos feel authentic.
Overall Summary
All parts of the mise-en-scène work together to make the TikToks feel real, personal, and connected to the main music video.
