Shooting schedule

This is that dates and time that my group and I have planned for the days that we want to shoot.

Talent release Forms

This is that talent release form that we have given to everybody that is going tot be in the video. This letter basically states that the person signing it gives us permission to use any video tapes or pictures in the production of our music video.

Teacher Assessment

This is the assessment that I was given from my teacher. It basically states that I am at an overall high level three at the moment, how ever with a few adjustments to my blog I know I should be able to get it up to a level high level 4 easily.

Track permissions letter

This is the letter that we sent to Sumerian Records asking for permission to use a song from one of the band that are signed to their record label. The song that we are using is called 'Breathless' by an English group group called 'Asking Alexandra'. We chose this songs because we thought that the concept of the song would enable us to integrate a story line within the video.

Location permission letter

I went on to the Merton website and filled out a form online to get permission to shoot in Wimbledon common. here are some picture of the form itself:

We are now awaiting their reply. however since we are student and won't be needing anything apart from the location we have chose to shoot I would be surprised if we are not allowed to shoot.

Roles

Elenya's role in our group is mainly being the photographer, this is due to the fact that she takes photography as an A level so she is experienced with a camera and also because she has a great passion for anything under the photography umbrella. Even though Elenya is doing most of the film the group as a whole planned when are where we are going to be doing the filming. This is becuase we all believe that we should have a fair look part in the production of the music video. We are also likely to use Elenya's camera for the film as she has a much higher standard camera than the school would be able to provide so the video will come out looking nicer thank to this. Elenya also has a part in the narrative with daniel as her lover but they have their differences. 

I will be mostly working on the editing, This is due to the fact that I have a passion for filming and editing video's. Also last year I edited The opening sequence that my group done and we got an 'A' for the practical. This shows that I have previous knowledge of the editing program we may be using such as Final cut Express, I movie, live type and various other program tat we may have to use.

Daniel's role is mainly in the performance shots. This is because he makes up part of the band as he knows how to play the drums and has quiet a rock look, which would help us to add authenticity to the video even though he is going to be our vocalist. Daniel also has a part in the narrative that we using throughout the video. Daniel and Elenya are both going to be acting together.

Technical tutorial

In this video I am just showing people how to cut up clips and get them in the order that they want it to come up on the screen. In the clip is from my practice on how to edit green screen,  was half way through the process of cutting the shots so I thought it would be good to show how it is done with various short cuts shown through out the video.

Lists of Props, Costumes, make-up and equipment.

The lists of props, costumes, make-up and equipment is not a very long list because we no not need much for this and also we have a low budget to make the video. We are going to need some the conventional things in the video such as:

Drum Kit

Electric Guitar

Bass Guitar

Microphone wired













Theses are all the conventional things that are found in most rock music video's. This is to give them impression that they are in the woods, factory or where ever they are shooting the video. This is also used for performance purposes to add to the Mise En Scene and make the band look more like a band through the instruments.

The band themselves are going to be dressed in black as this is a colour that appeals most to the audience that watch rock music video's. We are trying to make our video as conventional as possible so the band are likely to be dressed like this:

As you can see both the people in the pictures are dressed in very dark clothes and both have the instruments that they play or sing in front of them, again sticking to conventions. The actors that we have for our narrative in our video are going to be wearing similar clothes. The main character in our narrative is our vocalist so he is going to be wearing the same clothes in that he wears in the performance shots in the narrative to add to the story. However he female may be wearing the a red dress to make her look innocent and a black dress to make her look distressed and upset.


 Looks innocent                                                     Looks hurt
                                                                              (Use of mascara add to the Mise En Scene) 

These two women are what we are going to try and re-create because in the narrative that we are using we are trying portray the women as desired although emotional women and we are trying to portray this through the lyrics and also the costumes.

Other props that we will be using is flour and a glass vase. This is mainly for the entertainment purposes and also it has a great Mise en scene and ,makes good cut away's. We are going going to put the flour on the drums so that when the drummer hits them it will explode off of the instrument and make a brilliant shot especially when played in slow motion. The vase we are going to just smash as we think it also would be a good cut away that we could use and manipulate throughout the video.

The following is things that we are gong to try with the flour in our video create except I will be using a whole drum kit. I have cut to the main parts of the drums:

Photo shoot

This is Our shooting schedule. We are going to be using both the pictures of the band and also of a model. We have chosen to use two because a lot of rock bands aren't actually on the front cover of their album ECT, and also we are going to be able to create a very demonic look with the female that we would not have been able to do with the band.

We are going to take some inspiration from other pictures and they should end up looking like this some what like the following:

As you can see all the photo I have chosen have certain elements in common. One of the things that they all have in common that is a very dark, simple yet scary photos; this is what my group are trying to create with the blood coming from the mouth and the eyes and also abnormally coloured eyes are all things we are looking to incorperate in our picture.
