Locations for new video

Locations

Above is a presentation of the different locations we went to film. we decided as a group that these locations would be best to film at because we had originally used similar scenes for our cd cover, and it also related best for our storyboards. We used the areas around windsor leisure centre which are urban and relate well to the target audience, which is for predominantly males between the ages of 17-30. The reasons we chose the urban environment was to make the band look original and allow it to look as if they are a small band that love their music. This is shown through the 4 different locations that are the riverside, tunnel, motorway and side street. 

props, costume and casting

Props,Costume,Characters

Above is a presentation about the props, costume and casting. We needed to wear the right costume as we need to hit the right target audience in order for it to look realistic. The props were used to hit the indie genre, and this was shown with the electric guitars and the amps. We decided as a group that we should be involved in the music video, as the band is made of three members and all play the guitar so we thought that us doing this would draw the right audience. We also wanted to make the settings/locations to be urban and original, helping create the stereotypical indie style.

Risk Assesment

Risk assessment


Above is the risk assesment that me and my group wrote out in order to see what sort of risks could occur when filming in each shot. Althought there wasnt actually any accidents, this allowed us to see what could happen and how to prevent it.

plans with the music video

After we had filmed the first draft, we realised that our framing, storyline and editing were not good enough to get us the grade we wanted. Adding to this, the cuts wernt fast enough to go with the pace of the music. Because of this, we decided as a group that we would re shoot the whole video, and change the whole idea. We wanted to make it more perfromance based as the song itself is very quick and has alot of guitar in it. This would help make it look realistic and more professional. Our idea came after we had done our photo shoot for the ancillary task of making a digi-pack. We saw that we used very good framing in the shots. The settings were also very good, and we were coming up with very good ideas that looked alot sharper. Due to this our aim was to use these similar settings to film, with the same sort of framing whilst playing as a band.

Above is my shot location sheet. It explains where we went, what time , who was in the shot and what we used. This is to help us understand what we need to do on the day, and lets us see what exact shot were shooting. I had to do it on word, so the layout is a little bit harder to get right than a table. However it explains the key things that i need to know in each shot.

storyboards

Storyboards


Above is our storyboards that we drew out to give us an initial overview of the shots we wanted to use in our video. We done it very brief as we had the idea we wanted moulded in our heads, so the storyboards were done just to lay out the exact order and shots that we were going to use. This helped us see if we wanted to add any shots or to change the order in case we thought of any other ideas. Its good as you can see your general layout, as some shots may not look right. After we drew out the initial idea we had to change a couple of shots, as they didnt seem to look right in cutting from one to the other. So this process was a big help.

Above is an image from a social networking site called twitter. I was trying to contact one of the members of the band, in order to ask if i can use their song 'undercover martyn'. I tried contacting Alex Trimble who is lead guitarist and backing vocals. I did this by messaging him through twitter tagging his, mine, lukes and rics name in order to show who wants to use it.
