Our Final Project

Changes to our music video.

We have only very slightly changed our music video. We have added a new flashback (the girl with her friends at school). We have also decided to reverse the clips near the end so it goes backwards. We have decided to do this because this will give the audience different interpretations and they can decide whether she did leave the house or not. We feel that this will create an interaction with our audience.

More changes to our music video...

Some more changes that we are going to make to our music video is we are going to make the shots a lot quicker, this is so we can build up the tension and keep the audience gripped to our music video.  We are going to show more shots of the band but also still show a lot of the girl as she is important in our music video.

Our music video...

We have encounted a lot of problems on the way of filming our music video, due to the bad weather and the nights getting darker quicker it has been difficult to film. We have had to choose another actor for our film as the girl who we casted as the main girl who has runaway, fell ill. This means we had to choose another actor for our film. We are going to re-film the girl running away because the mise-en- scene wasn't good because of the lighting. We have re-filmed the band because we felt that the band should be filmed in the girls bedroom as this is where most people go when they are depressed. We have done some flashback shots inside of the girl, we just need to finish the running away part. We have almost finished our website and our CD covers.

Filming

On the weekend we started to film our media. On saturday we filmed the band that is in our music video. We took lots of different shots so we have enough to edit with. On sunday we filmed the girl that is running away which is the main part of our story. We only have a few more shots that we are going to film that we will finish this week. We are starting to edit our footage. We are going to be using a different programme and not the Mac's because we think this will be a more effective programme.

About our music video...

I have been starting to think about how our music video is going to look like. I have thought of an ending for our music video and have been looking at examples for this on youtube from films to show how the ending will be like. I will continue this post tomorrow and upload the examples that i have found and will explain how our ending will be like.

For our music video...

For our music video after recieving advice from Mr Smith, I feel that it would be a good idea to include pictures of genuine missing people, this will then make our music video stronger and effective and will have a more realistic effect on the audience. I feel that the audience will then be able to relate to our music video more as running away and going missing is common in the world and in the UK. So our audience can relate to this.

Using an image like this, will make it more effective and we could also put a statistic at the end of our music video to make it more realistic and it will create that powerful effect on the audience.

Inspiration...:)

I found Nickelback's "Photograph" music video. I really like this video because the video tells a story. The lyrics are shown in the story. We want our lyrics to be shown through our music video. I also like the use of different settings that are used in this video, and the amount of different shots that are used keep the audience gripped and it makes it more exciting for an audience watching the video having lots of different shots.

Music video inspiration...

I have found this Video of Celine Dion "My heart will go on". Her music is classified as soft rock. I chose this song because the song tells a story and the story is shown through the music video. However in this music video the artist is shown and in our music video we want to make it a little different because we just want to show our story through the music video because we want our audience to be completely gripped to our story.

Our idea:)

We are making a music video, showing a story to the song. We are aiming our music video at people aged 16-50. We decided to have a large target audience as we feel that our music will appeal to lots of different age ranges. Different ages have listened to our song and it's popular with the different ages. The genre of music video is rock. We have decided to do aa rock video as we are both interested in the genre of rock and we both feel that the targe audience we have choosen will be interested in this genre.
