Roughcut

List of tasks we need to do for final deadline...........

1) Capture Still images of the boy
2) Shoot more footage of the lead singer
3) Lip syncing!!!!! Close ups, Distant Shots.
4) Change Location of footage
5) Band together????
6) Change the location of the opening of music video
7) Re-think stop motion.
8) Go over storyline.

We will discuss what we have talked about with each other and Tanya with Lisette when she gets back.

Editing

While we were editing today , we were thinking about what we could improve, and that was to have more visuals of lip syncing, close up of the artist singing and distant shots of the artist singing to ensure that we have a variety of different shots of the artist.
We also realised that we need to be tighter on the singing, because often the words said are not the words in the song and this becomes obvious when putting them on to final cut.
We also think that we should include another location of the lead singer because although he is shown at home, and then in a field, it becomes quite repetative when trying to piece together footage. So when filming next time we plan to still shoot outside but like we did with the lion, change location a lot more to prevent the audience becoming bored.
We also found that when we went through the rough cut there were blacked out parts, that we are now attempting to fit footage into, so it flows better.

Expenses

In order to get the props we wanted for our music video we had to buy/rent:
-a lion suit (as the bear was unavailable)
-toy army men
-newspaper
The over all cost for this was around £65 between us.

editing

We've beagn to start our editing for our music video ready for the roughcut deadline this week. Using a range of filters we have changed the colour resloution and balance to give it a wierd and blurred look which will then mege back on the line " see a little clearer" we have chose to do this to give a dream like feel to it as the lead singer is in bed most of the day. To link with the tempoi and beat we have used different speed changes to fit with this. for example the beat is very upbeat and fast so we have chan ged the speed of the clips and fastened them up for both humour and style. We have had had some trouble with not having enough footage of the lead singer singing but with some work we have managed to mix some stuff together and hopefully will get a good response back to this.

mood board

Target Audience

When filming, we were talking about what would be our target audience for the music video, we have decided that we are aiming it at teenagers between 12-19 years old. The reason for this is because the video is fun, upbeat and has an element to comedy to it.
In the music video there is a young boy, which they can relate to the target audience as they are around a similar age. We have tried to fit the genre of the music to what the characters do. With the lyrics we have tried to match them to visuals so that the younger audience can relate the lyrics and images together.


For example, this image shows the childish element to the video.
