Change of artist/model

As a group we have decided to change our artist/model due to a number of reasons:

• The artist was to difficult to get hold of
• the artis lived to far away
• Due to bad weather conditions (snow) we were not able to use our time effectively

However we found a new artist/model (Emily Lord) who fits the type of image/brand we were creating. She is a close friend of Lauren widdops and because of our impending deadline we have used her instead for our music video.

Below is a picture of our new artist/model:

Filming Music Video- 28/12/2009

On Monday the 28th of December 2009 our group started to film scenes for our music video.

Below is a list of the equipment and props we needed:

• Digital Video Camera- To film the scenes
• Digiatl still camera- to take location shots
• Tri-pod- To steady and hold the camera to stop the shaky-cam effect
• Tape- To record footage on
• Clothes and jewellry- For our artist to wear, the clothes and jewellry we used fiited the style of the artist/music and video (bohemian, eccentric)
• Other items- we also brought other oodd/everyday items that would look odd in our video such as a umbrella, dice, lights and a masquerade ball mask

We visited one of our locations (Darwen Forest) to film some of the scenes for our music video. Below is a shot of the location:

We filmed in a number of places in the forest and used many types of shots such as close-ups and establishing shots.

Below is a list of the roles each of us fullfiled whilst filming:

• Lauren Widdop- Directing where the artist should stand/types of shots, costume
• Lauren Pollard- Filming, helping with the type of shots we needed (angles)
• Hannah Tabor- Sorting out the camera and helped direct footage
• Muhammad Patel- helped with costume and with the music

We will take the footage and review and edit it.

The Ancillary Tasks

For the second part of our coursework we have to complete two acillary tasks to go alongside our music video. The tasks have to be authentic products completed within the required software packages.


For this task we will be working in pairs within our group:


Team 1

Lauren Widdop and Muhammad Patel


Team 2

Lauren Pollard and Hannah Tabor


Our aim is focusing on creating a brand which will support our main product (music video).


We have decided that we will be doing two of the tasks offered from the breif, the two tasks we have chosen to do are:

• A CD cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD package)
• A magazine advertisement for the didgipak (CD package)

to complete these we will be devising a logo for our artist and using it on both ancillary products, in order for us to creat a clear, distinct brand image for our artist. We will be designing both the CD cover and magazine advertisement using InDesign and Photoshop in order for us to achieve the look we are aiming for.

Film Plan- 12/12/2009

On Saturday, I will be filming at one of our locations with Hannah (another member of the team) as part as our music video project.

We will be filming in manchester city centre, we will be filming the busy city centre for one hour. We will be using that busy background setting to super-impose onto a green screen then we will film our artist in front of the green screen performing the song. We will be speeding up the background (of people shopping/day to day business) while she is still.

Below is a list of equipment I will be using while on location:

• Video Camera- I will be using the video camera to  film the busy shopping centre and will be filming the manchester carousel which is another location being used in our music video
  
• Still Camera- Hannah will be using the camera to take location shots in manchester to post on our blog
• Tripod- The tripod will be used to hold the camera while I am filming, we are using the tripod so we do not get shaky/hand held camera shots
• Tape- I will be taping to film tapes because we will be recording at least 1 hour and 30 minutes of footage
