Locations

We have a practice room out of school for the live performance of the song, we will have the musician playing the musical instruments throughout, and we will have to record the song over and over several times, as we will need the different shots and also for the different instruments. Also we are doing the story around bullying, so with the story side we could use some locations around the school.

Plans for after the half term

After the half term we will come back and start some of the editing for the scenes that we have recorded  for the music video, however we will not have all of the music video recorded so we will put the live performance in first, then afterwards we will put in the videos for the story part of the music video. Also we will be starting our meetings on a wednesday, this is to discuss about our progress, and also what else could we do or add to the music video.

Plans for half term

For the half term we want to have started filming some scenes for our music video, we are most likely not to have recorded the whole music video, but we wanna start recording the live musical performance for the music video.

Camera

We have a camera booked for the half term so we can practice some shots with the camera and also to be able to start recording the live performance of the song for the music video.

Musician

For our music video we will be only using one musician through out it that would be playing the music, we will be using a musician that can play multiple instruments, for example they need to play the guitar,  bass and the drums, so we will be using a one man band. This would be easier for us to do, as this way we do not have to rely on a group of people to turn up to for the filming, and also if one doesn't turn up then we would not be able to start shooting, so this way we will lower the risk of this. We already have a person in mind, and that is our friend Danny Bradshaw, as he is reliable and also he is talented in multiple instruments, so therefore he is the perfect man for the musician and we will be able to start the filming a lot easier and smoother.

Storyboard

We have started a very basic storyboard, we have taken screenshots of camera angles and shots that we like and might want to put into our music video, we will not be copying them shot by shot we will be putting our own twist on these shots so they will not look like the shots.

Roles - film editor

Also in the group i am the film editor, the film editor is responsible to get all the film in order for the final piece, the film editor often gets help off the director with the film editing.  So this means that i have to get the films together and also to edit them to make the final piece, which would be the music video.

Roles - camera operator

The role that I have in the group is the camera operator, this means that i will be in charge of the camera, and will be doing the recording of the music video. This means that i will be in charge of the filming equipment and also to record the directors visions, and make it as likely to the directors vision as  possible.

Song chosen

For the song that we have chosen is the song "sunrise" by our last night, we have chosen this because we have more ideas for this song for the music video, than the other ones we were considering, so therefore we would be able todo more towards the music video and also make it better. Also with this song we can get some interesting ideas from the video and also other videos that are similar however we will still be making this our own videos, but we will just be getting ideas.

Songs ideas

Me and Andrew have chosen two songs that we could choose, one being "sunrise" by our last night, and "one less heart to break" by patent pending, as with these two songs we will be able to get a band to be playing the songs and also there is a story within the songs, so therefore we could make a music video of the band playing and to also have a story within the video, so half is music being played by a band and half story being told, and shown.

Aims

By tomorrow i would like to be able to set up meetings for the group, and be able to come up with an idea of a music video we would like to do and write down some ideas and to pick a song for the music video by then also, and then by Wednesday we should be able to start a storyboard for the music video ideas.

Group and brief chosen

We are now in groups, i am in a group of three with me, Andrew, and we have decided to choose brief 1 (music video), this is because we have had experience with the tasks and also we have an interest in this and think that it would be fun to do this task. We have got a few ideas for this brief and believe that we are gonna be able to produce a good piece of work. We have to come up with a production name and also a time to meet, then we will be able to start recording and editing, we will have to find film locations and also with costumes, and for the roles we need to choose our roles, but we will still be able to help each other out with the roles.
