Bookings for music video

I think that the best time for my group and I to get the shooting of the music video is during the week of the half term. Therefore, I decided to ask the technicians if it was possible for my cast and crew members (including dancers, actors) to come in an use the dance studio and photography studio for the duration of 3 days at most.

Editing the Storyboard

15/10/13

Today in lesson, Saphia and I had a one to one with our teacher having her looking over our completed storyboard. Saphia and I was told that the dancing shot would be boring if we had it as one shot for 14secs (contemporary dancers) so we decided to go back and look at music videos that consist dancing and look at the shot types being used and the duration of each shot.

 

This was video was looked at in our Treatment and  Pitch, we looked back at it again for the contemporary dancers and we realised that there are a multiple of shots being shown throughout the dancing. The different angles help to create of an interest for the audience towards the music video.

 

Even though this music video is faster than the music video we are trying to create we still looked at the shot angles being used and Chris Brown is dancing with different girls in a short space of times which suggest he is a player and doesn't stick to one girl, we thought about using a similar idea to be used for our dancing shots for our music video as one explanation why the girl (artist feels insecure).

 

 

This music video uses a wide range of camera angles to show the dancing of the couple dancing and it made the video look interesting as well as the dancing and we would be using the camera angles in our music video. 

Storyboard writting completed

10/10/13

In my media lesson today my group and I finished our planning for our story board. We need to draw the pictures of the different shot types being used for each shot then we would have it checked over by our teacher.

Seeking Confirmation

I sent an email to Atlantic Record company asking for permission of using their song by Delilah - Insecure, so it can be used in my coursework for my music video.

Starting of the Story Board

In today's lesson we started planning the shots and scene for our music video.

Discussing incurities in the relationship.

In lesson today my group and I began to develop on the feedback we got from our presentation. One thing my peers said was that we need to should what the boyfriend has done in the relationship to make the artist (girlfriend) feel insure. We decided to plan a few ideas we could possibly think of that annoys us about boys or makes us feel insecure as a group we came up with:

• Not noticing her when she is making an effort to get dressed up to go out with him. 
• Being on the PlayStation all the time instead of spending time with her
• Looking at other girls in-front of her
• Messaging other girls
• Questioning and controlling what she wears 
• Falling asleep when with her/ or on the phone with her
• Comparing her to others 
• Ignoring her texts 
• Blaming her for things that he might of done himself e.g. cheating

From this list we decided to work on the PlayStation idea of the boyfriend and the girlfriend trying to get his attention but we decide we should play with the focus in this shot.
