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.
