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.
