Create a mindmap which illustrates your thought process and the possible style and content of your production.

Consider creating your plan under the following headings and anything else you feel would be appropriate..

• People
  
• Locations

Have a look at the following video and try and utilise bubbl.us, an excellent mindmapping website, free and easy.

Blank storyboards
At this point you can create a rough storyboard, almost like a moodboard, which will evidence a feel for the video.
You could take photographs of your possible locations or, you could film examples of location and shot composition and create a montage of shots, which help to evidence your thought process and give you an idea of how your video might look.
