Storyboard

There is a problem with the storyboard software i am using so i will have to copy it onto a format that will be able to be uploaded to Blogger which i will do tomorrow.

Possible Narborough/Huncote Locations

Here is a flickr link to my account where i have uploaded a few of the better photos that i have taken for possible locations around narborough for our music video, Originally i had around 50 photos and between us we have narrowed it down as on flicker we can only display around 20 higher quality photos before my account is full.

Flicker(Our Possible Locations)

Storyboard:)

Sorry for the massive delay, we have been working on our storyboard and the storyboard should be up within the next few days we just have to add the last finishing touches to it.
We are starting to think about when we will be filming our music video, we just have to speak to the band and see when they are available to start filming. The pictures will up also within the next few days. We will also anaylise these pictures in detail.

Photos...

I have now just seen the photos that Rhys has taken, and they will be uploaded soon. We will be taking some more photos of the photos we have chosen, so we can show the different angles. We are now starting to think about the different locations and what shots we can use for them. We do need to take a few more photos because we want loads of different shots in our music video to make our music video more exciting. We can now continue with our storyboard because we now have an idea of the locations we are using. The locations we have chosen, link with our song because we have chosen places where the places and the shots can convey the mood of our music video. We have chosen quite dark closed spaces because the mood of our song is quite depressing and we want to keep this mood throughout the song to make it more effective and so it fits in with the mood of our song.

Storyboarding...

I havn't been blogging much at the moment, because i have been working on our storyboard. Our storyboard will be up soon. Rhys has taken the photos and I am going to have a look at them and i need to see some of the locations first before I can continue our storyboard so I know what the girl in our music video is going to be doing. Our pictures should be up within the next few days. So we should know the location by the next few days. We have loads of different locations to chose from. We are going to be careful chosing our locations, because we want them to convey the mood of our music video. We will be posting pictures and storyboard soon.

Yesterday...

Yesterday I didn't post any blogs, as i was working on our storyboard. We will have this up shortly. Rhys went out yesterday and took some photos of possible locations for our music video. These will be up shortly too.

Plans For Tomorrow...

As I can get home tomorrow for around 12 O’clock I think that I will be able to get out and find some possible locations and I will be to take some pictures of the locations that I feel that would be a good setting for our Music Video, once I have taken these pictures I will be able to upload these photos using Flicker and then I will give brief overviews of each setting and why I feel that the setting would be a good location to use. I will try to take a variety of shots in each location and experiment with different angles shot distance and lengths.

Help with Story Boarding...

Dynamic Learning A2 Music Video Guide Exemplar


I have found this document on Mrs Hammond's blog, this document and this is really going to help us with our story board. as it will help us present our ideas in different ways. As we have just started our story board we can use ideas on here to help us. Once we have finished our story board we will upload it on our blog. This will help us to ensure that we can get our ideas across in an effective way. Not only will this help us with making a story board  for our music video but it will also help us with filming our music video.

Today...

Today we have started doing our story board and we are starting to think about the camera shots that we are going to be using in our music video. Once our story board is finished i will upload it on here. We are starting to think of possible locations that we will film our music video. I will upload the story board  once it is finished and explain it in detail and we will have the pictures of the locations up soon.

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.

More about the band "Midnight hour"

After just posting that blog about the video i watched that is similar to the song that we have for our music video. I did some research on this band and found out that they are an unsigned band just like our band. This could be helpful because we can see how they promoted their band. They do have a Myspace page, this could help us for the layout of our website page.

Similar Song To Our Music....

I really like this song that i have found, it's about running away. The song is called running away. Unfortunately this song doesn't seem to have a music video. So I have just uploaded it purely for the lyrics and the sound of the music. I feel that this song is very similar to our genre of music because there is only one main singer and we have only one singer in our video. I am going to do some more research on this band and find some more music video that will maybe give us some inspiration for our music video.

Sterotypical We May Need To Convey...

I have just had a look at this clip of the "Royal Tenenbaums" and it's a very graphic clip and we don't feel that we want to show the graphic side, but a lot of cases of people running away have a suicide case. We don't want to show this but we want to be able to show why our person in our video has run away, where she is running to, what has happend to make her feel like this. We can show this through flashbacks. We are going to have a non-linear narrative. We are thinking about including pictures of genuine missing people at the end and different statistics to make it more powerful and emotive.

Website Creation Software Ideas

I have been thinking about the website creation software that we could use to create of bands website and I have looked at a few different pieces of software, some of the pieces of software i have looked at include

• Interspire Website Design, I feel that this software is very simple to use and easy to work with but i feel that if does not have enough features to create an effective opening page to a website, i also think that the cost of the software at $395.00 for the standard edition is too steep for a new band to be using and I feel that realistically they would probably not have to funding to use this software.
• Serif Webplus 10. I have looked into the features of this software and it seems that it would be very capable of creating a decent website for a starting band, and for only $9.99 it would be an ideal product to use for a new band that needs a start up site i feel that we could use this then eventually move to more advanced software to create a better site.
• Macromedia Dreamweaver C4. I have looked into this software and i feel that this software would be a very good investment as it is a very adequate website developments software and we already have access to this software also so it would be a good way to start with this software then improve software if we ever became mainstream. I also feel that this software would be the best to use as we already have a good knowledge and understanding about the features and how to operate this software so i feel that we could implement the best site to our ability using this software.

More Website Analysis

Snow Patrol Website

I have just looked at the website for snow patrol and again I have found it uses a three colour Palette and that the colours all contrast each other very well making all of the information stand out. I think that this is a very good tactic as the dark background makes the text stand out and the audience will be instantly drawn to the information. I fell that we could take idea and mould it for our website not Necessarily have the same colours but the same idea of having one main background colour then two contrasting colours for the text, I feel that if we did this type of layout then our website would be very effective because all our text and information about the band will stand out to our viewer. I also like the music playing on top of the site of the site as it gives the viewer a taste of new music from the band and upcoming tracks it also gives the band chance to see which of their songs are played more than others, this is a good idea as they can see how to aim their music at their audience. I feel that we could do this also as being a new band if we played our music when the website is opened then if the viewer just happened to stumble upon the site they might hear the music and possibly like it, this could then end up the viewer looking further into the band and possibly buying the song E.T.C.

My Video Research

Tonight i have done some music video research and i have looked at a wide range of rock styles of music and their music videos. Artists that i have looked at consist of Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Metallica, WhiteSnake, Green Day E.T.C. and while looking at all these different groups i have noticed that not one video i have watched today has there been a whole video consiting of actors, there has always been shots of the band in the video to promote them. I feel that this may make our music video very different as we plan to have the whole video consisting of actors to tell our story and not any shots of the band. I fell this would work as the audience may not get to see the band but they may get into the story and keep watching, this would then give the band more advertisement because if they enjoyed the video and the music the audience would then go and research the band

More Music Video Research

This video i have researched is the song by Green Day 'When September Ends' again we feel that this song fall under the softer genre of rock and we also like it again because it tells a story throughout the music video. I like this videos especially as it is a very gripping video if you watch it as it has a very contradicting start and end. The start of the video has a young couple spending time together and both of them are happy, and as the video progresses the male is recruited into the army and, the effects that the army has on couples.

Cd Cover Idea...

Morning:) As we have both been looking at Greendays video "Wake me up when september ends" I decided to have a look at their album cover. I like quite a lot about the cover. I like the simple cover scheme. The 3 colours stand out and it instantly draws you in. The picture is has no band members on the cover and for our CD cover we want to be able to have a abstract picture because we think this will attract our audience more. However there are some things that i don't like about the picture. I think the picture shows blood and we don't want violence on our CD cover but the colour scheme we may use.
