Time Management

Today we finished all of the filming for the music video. This was archived because the group stuck to the plan and met up in the morning and filmed our indoor performance skills, collecting the equipment on the way.

In the actually media lesson we drove up to the forest and finished the filming there as well.

Overall this has been a very successful day, which now because of it we can add one the footage to our music video we have edited so far. As a group we aim to have edited a rough cut by Friday, I think this is a realistic goal as next week everyone in the group go and edit in the media room if they have free time. 

Time Management

Today Alice and I planned to start going through all the clips and start to put them together and start editing. 

I have used the editing software 'Adobe premiere pro' as its very high tech and has all the effects and skills I need to make my music video successful.

Ideas for Production of my Digipak

To create a coherence within my Digipak I am going to go along with the theme of the artists name, "IVY &GOLD"

The concept I am going to use all links to the word "thoughtful"

Definion:  absorbed in or involving thought 

This is because all the songs in the album are all reflecting and thinking through situations she in and has been in, therefore I will portray the songs are very thoughtful by the expressions and camera work used to create the image of my star. For example a high angle shot to our star looking down on the side, creating the thoughtful inner pained self. This is a stereotypical image for a star in our genre to be portrayed as the target audience are at a very dramatic thoughtful age and will be able to relate to the image of our star.

As I am aiming it will the artists name, the colour scheme will be gold and black, gold because of the "IVY & GOLD" so it links in  and creates a nice coherence and house style for my digipak. Also I will use black again leading to the image of them being thoughtful and sad therefore the colour black is describing there mood and the emptiness there feeling.

The Imagery I will include would be ivy, of course to go in with the artists name "IVY &GOLD", also I will include a gold silhouette of a our artist, to represent her stardom (Stars and stardom theory).

Filming process

Our group plan to film again on thursdayas we still have to film more clips as we need to film some more in the forest. However looking at the forecast its not going to be the correct weather for filming in the forest and it may rain and won't be correct lighting.

Therefore we will still film, but we will start filming our indoor performance part of our video therefore we will need to get ready:

• Outfit
• Camera
• Projecter for effective lighting
• Lamp
• Technology to play the song
• Copy of the lyrics

Today we started our editing which has gone to plan and the clips we have got is very good quality. Although ew have come across a few gaps therefore we will need to film a little bit more so we have not completely finished our filming. me and alice will do this in thursdays lessons so that we have the equipment needed.

However I have now started on my research and analysis for the print work.I am starting this now to catch up with the time plan which everyone is behind on including myself. 

We are planning that our music video will be finished in about 2 weeks.

Editing Schedule

Time Management

We have now finished our filming that we have planed. We know must start the editing progress will is the most important part.

Also looking back at the clips we took yesterday we decided that the narrative parts didn't fit and looked unrealistic so we have chosen to stick to have an performance based music video.

Filming Progress

These photos are screenshots of the filming that we did today.

 We did our outdoor performance filming today. They show a mix of couple shots, dressed in clothes suitable for the autumn  weather, making it realistic.

Filming Progress

We have know finished our indoor filming.
We used the projector to project images on to my face whilst I'm singing as its expresses and gives a special effect. This bit included me being expressionistic and lip-syncing showing that I mean what I am singing as if I am the artist who wrote it. As indie artist always write their songs through own experience therefore are very passionate about  there song therefore its important I portray that!
Everything went to plan and we got a lot of takes.
As you can see we have had big success with our indoor filming.

We also filmed some Narrative filming to see if we could add a clearer story behind our music video these are some screen shots of that.

Filming notes

Me and Alice have finally found the time, props and location to film our indoor scenes. we have practised our lip sinking, so tomorrow we will start filming that. 

What we will need to do to prepare:

• Get the projector ready as we have decided to use it to add special effects
• Clear location
• Get the camera
• find a tripod
• Bring apple mac to play song will 

After this we will be close to of finished our filming and ready to edit.

Music Video of the Week

My video of the week is by the british artist 'Ed Sheeran' called 'Drunk'. I have chosen this video as the video really shows what his 'Star" appeal is (Star and stardom theory) he's just an ordinary guy with ordinary problem this would appeal to his audience as they can relate to him.

Time Management

We had a lesson where it was luring with rain therefore we could not go out and film. But instead we uploaded all the clips we have already done and started sorting them out to see what we have left to do and what we've got is any good. 

Although we did do some good as we practised lip syncing in this lesson inside so we could make sure that it was correct for when we film. 

As for if we will be finished by next week, I think it will be difficult as we are busy outside lessons, however I think we will be able to meet our deadline so we can start editing. 

For our next shoot we will be hopefully filming:

• Performance based scenes
• Nature scene
• Indoor scenes

Filming notes

Yesterday we finally had the  weather to start filming more of our music video, we didn't film in the best conditions as it was raining but it was the best we could do looking at the long forecast.

We filmed a lot of fillers today, which will be handy when it comes to editing. However we now need to start thinking about filming the  main scenes as they are a big part of the music video.

A problem we have tackled when filming yesterday was how to play the song so the performer could hear it to lip sync to as the weather was very load which made it different for the performer to hear the song when we held the phone which was playing the song near her but out of site. We fixed this problem by finding a better media technology to play the song out with which was louder.

Music Video of the Week

My first video of the week is by the artist 'Katy Perry' called 'roar'. This song has two different music videos as she released this one first and the other later. I really rather this version as I think its clever and unique. This music video really attracts its target audience well and one there target audiences hobbies are texting so they've involved that in this music video.

Time Management

This week didn't go exactly to plan in terms of goals I set myself to do this week due to problems with weather, we were planning to film on the weekend and as you can see the weather was to poor to get the correct shots. However it has still been a productive week as we have focused on planing our music video out more. 

So my group could get an idea of our skills and what shots looked right, we went outside and filmed some test shots in the week when the weather got better. This was beneficial for our group to do this and planing is important.

Next week we're going to be focusing on performance footage as it is a key part of our video as it is heavy in performance. Locations for these performance bits have already been picked out which makes it easier to film on the day.    

Test shots

These shots are to test different locations and shot types of scenery as this is a big part of the music video, as it is a big element of our chosen genre indie.

This shot is of our artist walking tin the field. This shot is effective for our genre, as our chosen genre stereotypical has a lot of nature background as our target audience is very down to each and connote nature in their personalities. Our performers outfit suits the forest so we are going to use this scene for shooting our music video:

 

This is are second location, Which is meant to represent a studio. This location with the lighting behind it is very effective and makes it look professional. As our genre's music videos are mainly performance based this shot is very stereotypical and suitable:

After research into other music videos in our chosen genre they are mostly performance based and full of nature as nature connotes our target audience, pure and beautiful. So we only have two locations. 

Filming Progress

Time Management

Today the group met up to film our chosen scenes as we all planned. We haven't been very organised but our process so far has gone to plan with few problems. However we didn't get to film all of the indoor scenes, so we must film them again.
