I also understood how many different ways they filmed different scenes and i think that using different shots and changing the shots quickly throughout the video gives it a good effect.

LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE SHOTS
When i looked at the different performance shots, i realised how they were done. The first thing i realised was the way they filmed. Instead of filming different shots, they tend to film the whole scene and then cut into it when editing. I found this very useful as i will be able to maybe use this technique when filming my music video.

LOCATION AND PROPS
I have gone around different places and figured out that Marshfield (a little village on the edge of Bath) would be a perfect to shoot our video. For me, a countryside location would be a lovely quiet place that we could use for the performance side of the video as we would be able to shoot as many times as we like as it is near to where i live and also quiet and easy to film. The song fits with the location as well as it shows a more lonely side of the world. This is not a convention of the more indie song that we are using as normally it would have a more wild approach to it.
We have also decided that a front door and a bedroom is needed for part of the video. This is for the more narrative side of the video as the video is about the loneliness of the girl. (The girl who wrote this video, wrote it about how she was scared to leave her house). This is too literal to film, but we would like to tie it in to the music video as i feel it will give a good effect.
We also think by using a car or something, we would like to show a stop sign, no entry sign, one way sign, or something to indicate having to stop or wait. This is because the song also talks about the loneliness the girl and that she needs to realise and do something about her phobia.
We also need to shot in a garden as we are going to experiment in using different photographic shots,showing the process of a plant dying. This is an idea i came up with as i wanted to have some good experimentation in the video as it will show good skills.
The props that we will be using within the video contain a matchstick house that i will be making along with a throne. This is so we are able to burn it at the end of the video to express the lyrics " Break down the house you made of matchsticks, and set fire to the throne." I will be creating this matchstick house on a very small scale. It will be very difficult to film as it will only be able to be filmed once. I will need to ensure that there will be a few cameras set up around the burning house and throne, so we can get it from different angles.
We will need to also find road signs that indicate stopping. This involves give way signs, stop signs, one way signs, etc.
We will use poster and photographs in the room that she is able to rip down out of upset and anger. The posters will also be used to to drawn on which will show a sad and happy face.
This is what we have planned so far and what we would like to use. It will probably change slightly when getting to the mood board and filming as we do recognise that it is a difficult process but we feel we can achieve it if we set our minds to it.

QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS
Here are the results of my questionnaire. These results will tell me what people would like as an audience to watch.
INITAIL IDEA FOR OUR MUSIC VIDEO
Me and Charley have planned roughly what we would like to get from this video. The plan was for the video to have different aspects that we would both like to include from different videos. For example, the colours and the different "joke around parts". This is what we have figured out so far. It is not final but is a start. We have linked some of the lyrics with the narrative because we find some of them very strong and intense.
Of hanging out my window.
(Singing out her window)
I've learnt from past experience,
Rain can't make flowers grow.
(Transition into next scene)
And friends don't stick around,
They go which way the wind goes.
(Group of people, one by one, disappear)
You're never safe and sound,
Until all your doors are closed.
(Stood in doorway, singing, slam door)
Doors are closed,
Doors are closed.
(Long shot of girl in field)
When you're awake on your own,
Shadows turn into ghosts. (x2)
(In field, doesn't want to be outside. Going crazy. Camera circles.)
Soon it will all fall apart,
And the roads will have no way.
(Walk towards a stop sign)
And you'll be the one laughing,
As their fences fade away.
(Singing out of window)
And instead of being left there,
Feeling all alone.
(Stood on edge of road, bag on back. Singing)
Breakdown the house you made of matchsticks,
And set fire to the throne.
(Matchstick 'throne' sets fire. House burns too)
To the throne,
To the throne.
(Watch burn until nothing left.)
When you're awake on your own,
Shadows turn into ghosts. (x2)
(Same as before. Different footage)
Home becomes what you're scared of the most. (x2)
(Front door. Walk towards camera. Singing)
When shadows turn into ghosts,
Its what you're scared of the most.
(Face in camera. Singing)
I'm pulling pictures off the wall,
(Posters/Photo of 2nd phrase on wall. Rip down)
Watching smiles as they fall. (x4)
(Smiles on paper. Drop. Frown/Split screen smiles frowns etc.)
When you're awake on your own,
Shadows turn into ghosts. (x2)
(Look around room)
Home becomes what you're scared of the most. (x2)
(Singing)
When shadows turn into ghosts,
Its what you're scared of the most.
(Fall on bed)

GENRE.
Our genre is indie rock. After analysing some music videos, i feel i really understand the genre and how it is brought across when making a music video.
The colours play a big part in the whole music video as they are either very chalk like, or very bright, colourful and fun. I am focusing on the chalk like colours as the song is a sad and slow moving song with upsetting lyrics and it would not work at all if i use a more bright and colourful approach.
Another convention i found caught my eye is the shot types and how they are all very similar. They are very personal and use close ups, aswell as mid shots and sometimes long shots. I will be taking this into concideration as these make the music videos work really well and i feel it could work well in my music video as the song is very personal.
Its not just using the conventions in the music video it is also about challenging them as well. In most music videos there would be a blonde or brunette long haired girl but as i would like to challenge the conventions, i have a short haired girl who has died her hair red. This is Charley, my partner.

The ages range between 13- 21 and this is the sort of age that are more likely to use social networking sites on a regular basis.
Therefore i have put together a small questionnaire for them to fill out and find ideas. I will post this on social networking sites which will help me out a lot as nowadays a lot fo teenagers and young adults use these sites for communication thanks to web 2.0 and the upgrade in technologies nowadays. I am going to take advantage of this.
1) Are you male or female?
Male
Female
2) Do you watch music videos on a regular basic?

ANALYSING (JOSE VANDERS- MOTHER THERESA CANT DIVE)
This is the music video for "Jose Vanders- Mother Theresa Cant Dive". The style of the music video is a more up beat and fun style. As the song is a more happy and enjoyable song to listen to it fits with the video extremely well. The colours are a bright shade which makes the audience smile when watching it. There are illistrations that are used within the video which complete it and makes it more enjoyable to watch. There is an illistration of an octopus/ squid that attacks the people within the music video and really does work well.
The costumes that all of the actors wear are really bright and colourful. It matches with the background and the theme. The audience also respect the person who is dressed differently and more thier own style because they are more individual and they are not ashamed to show who they truely are. Jose Vanders in this music video really shows how crazy and wacky she is by the way she acts and the different outfits she wears. She obviously has her own individual style and i like that.
Most of the shots that are used in the music video are long takes as the video is trying to show a story through the different illistartions and acting that is used. Most of the shots types are either long shots, two shots or mid shots of all of them. When the perfomance shots are being used in the music video, Jose Vanders is central in the framing and a mid shot is used to show her closely. when the illistratuions are shown, most of the time theactors are all in a long shot so that the audience can see the whole picture and not just part of what is going on. This is a good idea because it is more enjoyable to watch when more of the story is shown.
There is also a very different experimental technique that i would like to use in my music video. I find it very interesting to watch and i looked up the technique on the internet. I found out that the technique is taking a series of pictures and putting them together. When the yellow t shirts move through the people, this is what is used to do it. I would really like to experiment with this through my video just to see how it would work out. I think it wouldnt only be enjoyable to do, but the kind of music video that i am thinking of doing, it would fit in very nicely.

ANALYSING (PASSENGER- WHAT WILL BECOME OF US)
This is "Passenger What Will Become Of Us". I have chosen to analyse this music video because i like the location where it is films. I like the fact that it is based in a meadow which can be romanic but has nothing to do with any of the music. This makes the video very random and makes the audience think. The narrative is also very random and has not actual story to the music video. It seems to be the same shot every time and the characters are just walking towards the camera. The story seems to unravel itself as the man walks away from the camera at the end of the video. As they seem to be walking towards each other, it really shocks the audience when this happens.
What also really catches my eye is the t shirt colours changing as the video goes on. I like the way this works with the video as this is also completely random. This contributes towards the shots that are used as they are all the same shots. All of the shots in the whole of this video is always either close ups or mid shots. This somehow works with the video though, its because the audience is not really worried about the action they are looking at the colour changing tops the two characters are wearing. I find this very interesting.
ANALYSING (LISA MITCHELL- CLEAN WHITE LOVE)
I am going to analyse parts of the music video by "Lisa Mitchell- Clean White Love". I will take aspects for the music video of which inspires me and leads me to making my own ideas.
The first convention of this video that catches my eye is the colours that are used through the entire video. Although the colours catch the audiences eye because they are so bright, they more chalk like and pail. I would like to use this in my music video as i see that as quite old school and vintage. The clothes worn in the video are also very vintage style, nearly 80's style. I also love this as it goes with the music. The clothing colours are also plain because it fits the trend of the video. The first shot is of a paper sign with a drawn on, red heart on showing someone is missing. The young gril is stood on a train platform. There is then an action shot of a very old red leather suitcase with the girls friends running towards it with the suitcase being the focal point. This shot shows that they are going away somewhere. The next location is the girl and her friends on the train playing and chatting sitting around a table. The scenery is showing from the window behind them and then it quickly changes to the whole scenery being shown as if you were looking out of the window at it. This is known as a point of view shot. They are playing cards and laughing and messing around which shows that they are having fun and this is a good and happy music video. They then walk across the train track in a straight line which looks good as they have their different coloured umbrellas up and you see it from an ariel shot. This is a generally fun video. Later on they have a fight with leaves and through around things in the woods. I love this idea as it shows they are enjoying themselves and makes the audience feel they are having fun with them. I would like to take aspects from this video as it is very similar music to the music we will be using. I also like the colours and the vintage feel to the story and the fun narrative that we get to see and enjoy. I would like the audience to feel as though they are joining in with the fun. To do this we will need to find someone who is willing to act as the main part and would fit the part perfectly.
This is the different screen shots of the music video i have analysed. This is a variety of the different shots they used in the video. I thought buy screen shotting the shots would allow me to see how the music videos would show emotion. In this slideshow, it also shows the colours and the costumes that the characters and the style we would like to be influenced by.

OFFICIAL SONG WE WILL BE USING FOR OUR MUSIC VIDEO
This is "Ghosts" that Gabby Aplin wrote and sang. She will be producing a really official, properly recorded version of this song as she feels this song is very personal to her. It is about her phobia of going outside a while back. We would like to use her as the main actor in the video as personally, i feel that as she wrote the song and it is personal about her. She would also fit the part perfectly as well as she is the one who produced the music and would be the correct style.
We have chosen this song because we find it very interesting. The lyrics to me are very insightful because i know they are very personal to her and i think they are brilliant. She is a very talented girl.
The lyrics are below the song of the rough copy she filmed and put on youtube to see what people thought and asked for her fans opinions.

TIME PLAN
This is my time plan for the upcoming project. This will help me keep up to date and not fall behind.
My time plan allows me to keep to my time and not go off course or get behind and then have to worry when the time comes for handing everything in. I have sorted my time within reason so it is not completely imposible to complete. I have sectioned out different parts of my chart with the pre production planning, then the production of the ancillary task, the production of the music video and then evaluating the two different part of our project. This will help me as i will then know where i am going with everything.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
Over the next few weeks i would like to have decided on a song that we are going to be using for our music video. I would also like to have the actors to be chosen and knowing what they are doing. We need to make sure they are responsable and will be able to keep to the times we will give them. We will need to make sure that the conventions of the actors will be right for our music video and match the genre of the music. For the theme of music we want to do, we are looking for a long hair, natural looking girl , known as "the bath look". We want to be able to make her look a bit hippy and to be abkle to suit bright colours. This means we have to go window shopping and both decided on a girl that is right for our video. We will also need to use other actors in our video so they will also need to use the same style.
We also need to agree on different locatons where we will want to shoot. We will need to do a rough plan of the different places that we would like to include in our video and see if that is possible. In a few weeks i will hopeful be driving, so hopefully things will be a lot more accessable than if i wasnt. We also would like to keep the cost down as much as possible so we will also need to think about that.
I want to have the alocated jobs given to the group members which are only me and charley. But i would like it to be clear on what eachothers dutes are and to make sure we are going to be able to stick to them and not go off course leaving the other with a lot of work to be done.
I want the questionnaires for our pre production being long on the way to being finished. We will be doing this by using websites such as facebook, twitter etc. This would be a good way to give people a chance to complete the questionnaire as many young adults/teenagers are on the internet rather a lot nowadays and will be easily accessable. We have already used facebook to reach someones views. Gabby Aplin, the singer will be using the video as her official music video, therefore she wants to be included in all of the conversations. This is possible but we need to make an agreement that it also fits with the alevel mark scheme as we do not want to lead off of track. Anyway. She has sent videos from youtube over on faceboook to show the kind of style she would like to use and singers she uses as influences. This is very easy to do so we can keep track of everything online if we are unable to see eachother.
I would like to look at other music videos that are linked with ours and would like to analyse a few to see the sort of camera shots, angles and movements they use. Also using the colours and the actual people who are included in the videos. We need to see whether they use a narative or the videos are completely random. We need to also do this for album covers and posters as we also need to produce this as well for our anciliary task. I will starts off by making a variety of mood boards of which i think are bad and good and then analyse a few of them in depth and pick out good and bad aspects of them both. This will be a good start to our project i think.

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO.
As we have had a few lessons and out of school time to discuss what we are doing. At the end of last year we started thinking about our project and researched some videos on youtube of Gabby Aplin. As we are now A2 students our music video will have tio be top notch to be able to get into my good books. It will have to look very professional. To do this we will need to use a tripod to keep the camera steady. I also know a very trust worthy freind who is willing to let me borrow his top of the range video camera which also has filters that can be fixed to the lens which will give effect that i am hoping to get. We will use Adobe Premier Pro to edit our video which is useful as i learnt how to use it last year. I am very familiar with the different icons and how to use them and i am capable of producing different effect ont he screen.
My group have decided on a song called "Ghosts" writen and sang by Gabrielle Aplin. We would love it if she was able to act in the video as she would suit it perfectly as it is about herself, if not we will have to find someone very similar (we have some in mind). We have a specific look in mind for our actor, we would like her to have long hair with the natural look which will suit vintage type of clothing. (FACEBOOK LINK) We also need to make sure they are reliable and easy to get to. We will need to make sure they are comfortable infromt of the camera as we do not need any mess ups. We also need other actors in the video as we would like the video to involve a freindship ground. We arent really bothered at the moment about what they look like but later on in the stage we will think about it in more detail. One thing we have spoken about howvever is that they need to suit the same look as the girl we will be using.
The locations that i have researched are very close to where i live. Marshfield, a little village on the way to Chippenham. I will be going up to the village in a few weeks taking photos with a friend of mine. I will take different images of the different shots i would like to include in our video. I have chosen a lovely field, a bit like a meadow, with long grass etc. I have also got a mini cooper with a black outer body and pink seats and accessories. I think this will tie in with the video quite well. I will be driving by the time we start and i would like this to be a good part inthe video as nowadays cars play an important roll. As i also work on weekends in Marshfield so i will be able to shoot whenever i want aslong as the actor is free. I am the filmer as well so it will not be a problem. We will not fall behind.
In the next few weeks we will have to ensure all of the research is done and properly plan our storyboard and then go out shooting after that. Our research will include the questionnaires which will involve the public and will help us in our researching ages and genres. We will post the questionnaire on facebook, twitter, myspace and tumblr. Teenagers and young adults tend to use social networking sites a lot more which means that we will get some good answers in. This will allow us to get a range of people and different opinions. As i am experienced with the filming, it is more than likely that i will be shooting the film. I will probably also edit as i also have skills in that.
I have briefly starting looking at music videos as i want to have a rough outline on what sort of conventions are used and i want to get used to what they are like. Then, it might come naturally and it would be a bit easier. I have looked at the camera angles of the different music videos. I have looked at the colours and the costumes used for setting the scene and have looked at the narravtive scenes
We also need to look out for the ancillary task. We need to make sure that the film and the poster and cd cover all link together and all stay on the same guildelines. I will start to look at different cd covers and different posters and analyse them very in depth as i would like to make them look good. I am also very skilled on photoshop as i do photography and have skills of taking the photographs. I am also artistic so i hope that the finished product will come out amazing.

I think this will tie in with the video quite well. I will be driving by the time we start and i would like this to be a good part inthe video as nowadays cars play an important roll. As i also work on weekends in Marshfield so i will be able to shoot whenever i want aslong as the actor is free. I am the filmer as well so it will not be a problem. We will not fall behind.
In the next few weeks we will have to ensure all of the research is done and properly plan our storyboard and then go out shooting after that. Our research will include the questionnaires which will involve the public and will help us in our researching ages and genres. We will post the questionnaire on facebook, twitter, myspace and tumblr. Teenagers and young adults tend to use social networking sites a lot more which means that we will get some good answers in. This will allow us to get a range of people and different opinions. As i am experienced with the filming, it is more than likely that i will be shooting the film. I will probably also edit as i also have skills in that.
I have briefly starting looking at music videos as i want to have a rough outline on what sort of conventions are used and i want to get used to what they are like. Then, it might come naturally and it would be a bit easier. I have looked at the camera angles of the different music videos. I have looked at the colours and the costumes used for setting the scene and have looked at the narravtive scenes
We also need to look out for the ancillary task. We need to make sure that the film and the poster and cd cover all link together and all stay on the same guildelines. I will start to look at different cd covers and different posters and analyse them very in depth as i would like to make them look good. I am also very skilled on photoshop as i do photography and have skills of taking the photographs. I am also artistic so i hope that the finished product will come out amazing.
