Planning: Favourite Shot as of yet

This is my favourite shot so far within our music video, I performed a stationary shot that was a medium close up of Indya. This is while Indya is singing the chorus of the song I think it looks really effective with the very distant background that really establishes our push of "rural identity" as this is what we are trying to appeal to our potential target audience. The lighting of the shot is high key but is naturalistic, this in turn created a noticeable golden glare on the shot. This could be further denoted of the song making you feel warm and happy.

Planning: Make-up

For today's shoot, in which we replicated the lost footage, we asked Indya to bring her own makeup- this is as she was allergic to the makeup we brought on the shoot before, it meant that Indya could wear the dark lipstick makeup we wanted her to wear for the shoot. This is the type of make-up we want Indya to appear in, as it really encapsulates this punk rock image.

Planning: Saturday Shoot

On Saturday Me, Emily and Indya did a video shoot in Brigg (Our local town) the locations we used were the cemetery and Emily's garden to do some performance shots, we used these as we felt that they were good for trying out different angles and framing techniques. We're trying to get some more performance shots to replace the ones we lost last weekend. However, it was rather awkward shooting in the graveyard! I also played around with the pull focus of the camera to get more unique/artistic shots.

Planning- Storyboards













Planning: James Vincent McMorrow- Higher Love Mood Board

Within this song, the lyrics are quite slow and its based of an older song, so with in this music video I decided to combine both 80's style clothing with outdoors clothing- this is because I felt that together, they both had good synergy, however, I decided to add in pops of bright colour, this is as I thought that the main singer could wear them to make them stand out.

DISASTER

Today, when we were uploading the footage from my memory card to Final Cut Pro X- a major problem occurred, the memory card reader ejected without us touching it and the files corrupted- which meant that we lost six hours worth of filming in total. At the minute our teachers and technicians are trying their hardest to recover our files. This was the message we saw while we were uploading the shots.

Planning: Call Sheet For Filming On Saturday

Group Post

This call sheet was created in order to help not only ourselves out but for the actors benefit as well. It lists specific details such as shooting times, Phone numbers. It also need to be used to gain permission from the actor, so they can be in the music video.

Group post: Research and Planning - Star image and development

This grid was used to establish how our star image would be perceived by our potential audience, with simplistic references to the music video itself.

Planning: Our Potential Target Audience (Powtoon) Rough cut of 1 shot

Planning: Catering for everyone on set

Within our shoot, Emily took the responsibility of making sure that everyone was fed throughout the day. As part of our time schedule, we stopped for a lunch break at 12:30. Their was various sandwiches, sausage rolls and J20's aswell as cans of coke.  I also believe that Emily took the precautions of the food's hygiene with the use of certificates, which meant that all the food was prepared appropriately and carefully.

Research: Snapchat- Social media promotion

On the day of filming, Indya our main singer and our extras uploaded images and short clips to Snapchat of me and Emily filming. We did this as a method of promotion- In a similar way to different film companies. By allowing our audience to view the clips on Snapchat, they were able to view into our production phase, and see what was going on. Hence, this enticed them, as it meant that they could observe what was going on, and would make them want to see the final product.
