Final Music Video

Katie's Final Digipack and advert.

Here are my adverts I produced 2 different ones as a graphics designer I believe it always works better to have 2 edtions of the work therefore their a variety and can capture everyones attention

Edtion 1.

Edition 2

Digipack.

To the right you can see the insert; I then designed an insert within my Digipack which meant that the buyer would have something a little differnt to keep to themselves as it created a connection betwen the customer and the band, something which I believe is very special.

Shooting Tomorrow

This shows a weather forecast for tomorrow. It seems as though it will be a cloudy day but the good news is that is shouldn't be raining.

We have managed to get everyone involved in the video together tomorrow so fingers crossed we should get all of the filming complete ready to start editing. We don't have quite as much time to film as we would have liked as I have work commitments, however, we have made sure we are organised and so we will hopefully get it done in the time we have.

We are not sure why this document hasn't embedded properly on the blog but if you click on the link 'SHOT LIST' about it then you should be able to see it more clearly.
SHOT LIST
This document shows our shots in a numbered order and specifies the locations we will be using to shoot each shot.

Schedule and Equipment

Our final music video is due in on Friday 25th November, as this is less than two weeks away we have decided to plan what we are going to do in order to get it completed on time. As we have put a lot of detail on to our new storyboard it shouldn't take us too long to film as we will know exactly what we have to get done so we will just explain this to our actors and then begin to film each scene and shot.
14th-18th November: complete our new storyboard and finalise our ideas.
19th November: complete reshoots
21st-24th November: editing of the final version
25th November: check everything over for mistakes we could adjust and hand in our final music video.

The things we will need to take to our reshoot are: camera, tripod, guitar, docking station to play the song on in the background. We will also need to check that our cast members are wearing appropiate clothing to fit in with their character roles and the mise en scene.

Updated Risk Assessment

Filming Progress

As far as our final version of the music video goes, we will be pretty much be refilming all of it. There may be the odd clip we keep but this is unlikely at the moment. We decided to shoot the whole thing again as we weren't happy with our draft version and feel that we can achieve much higher. So far we have filmed so of the scenes with Guy in his bedroom and we are pleased with these, however we still need to do add some more shots we have planned in this location. The rest of the filming is being planned to take place this coming Saturday (19th November). We need to do a weather check throughout the week as most of our shots will take place outside so we are really hoping that it stays dry and somewhat bright. At the minute, it looks as though it should be dry with cloud, which will be ok. Although it will be hard to get an exact forecast untill a day or two before.

New Locations and Cast Update

Since looking over our draft version of the music video we have chosen to change aspects of the locations and character roles. The location in Katie's house which shows the memories in the draft version will stay the same however we will be reshooting elements of this. We will not be using the field in which we shot the band scenes as we feel the effects of this mise en scene didn't work well or give the effect we wanted, we are also gettin rid of the band scenes so we won't need this location anymore anyway. The new locations we are using will be inside Guy's bedroom, as this give the appropiate mise en scene we wanted. We will also use parts of a forest and a park. We have chosen to use more locations this time as we think it will keep the audience's interest up.
Guy will now play the lead singer, Scott will still be playing the young boy and Henry and Katie will still be playing the parents. The rest of the band members won't be in the video anymore as our idea has slightly changed in order for us to make the narrative clearer.

Update

Our draft video scored us 10/50 which is a level 1. We did expect this as we weren't completely pleased with our draft and there were many things we wanted to change and plan to do so before we film the final one. Since recieveing our feedback, we have decided to change many aspects of our video. We are re-storyboarding the whole thing to try and create a clearer narrative. Guy will now be playing the lead singer as the teachers thought he would be more convincing and we agreed. Also, we have decided to take the band element out of the video and just have the singer, as done in The Verve's 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' video. We will also be having Scott and Guy in some of the scenes together to try and empahsise that they are the same person, as we were told that this wasn't clear in the draft. If we can, we are going to have Scott in black and white to show that he isn't really there and it is part of a memory. Finally, when we reshoot we will think more carefully about locations and mise en scene and try and have a wider variey of locations to create and keep audience interest. When we have finished our new storyboard we will post it on the blog along with a new animatic.

Tube Chop of Techniques we are Using

We have posted this video onto our blog as we like the camera angles that have been used. We think they could work well in our video and will be taking a lot of inspiration from this in our re-storyboarding process. A lot of low angles are used and we have done this in our new plan for our video as we think it also suits are new story line and the way we are showing our narrative.

Tube Chop of Techniques we are Using

The parts of this Jessie J video that we like and want to use in our video is the way in which her thought and reflections are portrayed. The camera angles and her expressions make this work and we need to take inspiration from this to show the reflective thoughts we want to use in our video. This is very simplistic but works very well and we will be considering this when re-shooting our video.
