Planning - Master Catalog

This is the master catalogue we used for the planning of our music video. It shows the different actors, locations, props, cameras etc that we are going to use for our music video. The master catalogue will make sure that we a re fully prepared for the different days of filming as we know exactly what location we are going to use and the different things we need for production of a particular day.

Planning - Calendar: January

This is our calendar for January 2012. We have a number of editing and filming days as the coursework has to be finished by the end of January. Most of these days will include re-filming clips that we believed didn't work. Editing will involve add the finishing touches to our music video tweaking any problems that we might have. We have set our production days around our school hours and what we believed the days in which we will have the most time to film. Editing will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays with the Tuesday being dedicated to write ups and blog posts. We chose Wednesdays and Fridays as these are when our media lessons are so we will be able to use the necessary software in order to edit. Our filming will take place mainly on Saturdays as we do not have school and we will have the maximum time to film. One Thursday in this month we will take advantage of our 3 hour break in which we can also film. We have acknowledged the fact that our deadline is by the end of January so have made a reminder in our calendar that our project should be handed in on the 1st February. This makes sure that our project will be completed by the deadline.

Planning - Calendar: December

This is our calendar for the month of December. During school time we have placed our filming Days on a Saturday as this is when we will have the maximum time to film, taking in to account that it gets dark earlier in the winter. We have left all Sundays free as this will be the day when we have a break from working on our project. During school time is when the Editing will take place as the software we are using is only in school. Editing will mainly take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday as these are the days in which we have Media. However we may also edit on other days in which we don't have media s we can get as much editing done as possible but this is not definite. After we break up for the Christmas holidays we will be able to film on any day that suits the group. From discussion we found that the easiest days to film will be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We will not edit during the christmas holidays but wait until the school term starts. We have significantly more days of filming and editing as we learnt from last year that it is best to get all the production out the way so if any problems occur we can easily deal with them before the deadline.

Planning - Calendar: November

This is our calendar for November. We will start filming on the 25th November towards the end of November. This is our very first month filming so we have decided to film as much as possible on each day. As well as the filming days we have also included a day for editing. This will make sure we are making good progress with the project so we are able to meet the deadline. We also decided to include a day to upload our footage. This makes sure that the clips are ready to edit on the day of editing so we can make the process as efficient as possible. Uploading the footage a day before means we can also troubleshoot any problems before we start editing.

Planning: Proposal Podcast

This pod cast is our proposal for our music video. The written proposal can be viewed in one of our previous blog post under the name 'Music Video Proposal'

Planning - Music Video Proposal

Proposal

We would like to create a music video for Kanye West’s song Blame Game featuring John Legend. Our target audience are teenagers and adults so in our video we will be addressing situations that this demographic can relate to and will be suitable for that age group.

The narrative of the story will be centred around a young couple that are having relationship problems. The girl of the relationship will be having an affair with another man and the music video will explore the demise of the couple’s relationship. The verses will be sung while the narrative is taking place but the chorus will cut away from the main narrative and be sung independently. We have also decided that whole video should be filmed in black and white to add to the depressing tone and slow tempo of the song. We will make use of visual effects by using a number of slow motion shots when violence may be taking place. 

This will add to the tension of the scene and make the viewer focus more on what is happening. The person singing the chorus will not be seen by the main singer but will appear in many of the same scenes The music video will also make use of green screen. We will do this by taking a clip from our video stopping it and having a section of the song being sung. This will make the character feel isolated from the world and will add to the idea that he can not be seen by the main singer.

The song in it’s entirety is 7mins 50secs so we will have to cut it down. We have decided to cut out the last bit as it is a phone call and is not needed to tell the narrative of our story. This section of the song also takes around 2mins so will help drastically in cutting the video down to 5mins.

Filming will mainly take place in Dagenham. We will film some scenes in a house that will act as the couple’s house. The rest of filming will mainly take place outside.

We will mainly address our target audience, as the two main characters will be adolescents. We will also address current scenarios that teenagers and adults encounter in today’s world such as drugs and violence. We will also represent different brands that are popular among teenagers today such as blackberry, Nike and Adidas. The song itself relates to the older audience as it is about relationship issues which a very common among teenagers and adults. The nature of this problems are affairs and violence which is also common today as many relationships end due to domestic violence and adultery.
