Shooting schedule

13/10/10: On this day we went to Hitch wood, where we filmed the introduction to our music video, and shots that needed lip syncing, the mise-en-scene for these shots was in a woods so there was nothing that we could take away if needed, although in some of these shots we added features to the music video. "Your name is all over my note book", in this shot we used a note book with a girl writing her lover's name all over it.

19/10/10: We went to go and film at our location on this day, when we booked the camera out in school it had battery but when we arrived at our location and started to film the camera would not turn on.

22/10/10: We finished filming the rest of our music video on this day, due to a lack of resources at school we were not able to get a tripod so we had to balance a camera on a stool. We achieved the same effect that a tripod uses.

Location shots

The reason we have chosen to use this location is because we feel that the atmosphere of the location fits with the genre of the artist we have chosen. The tree's around the location give us a good use for mise-en-scence, we can also use them for interesting shots. Our idea's for house colours are natural colours, like brown, orange, and red. We want to use the colours of leaves to show these house colours When these location shots were taken it was at the beginning of autumn meaning not all the leaves had the colours we would have liked, we had to wait a couple of weeks before all the leaves had these colours.
The location also gives the feel that noone else is around, we wanted this in our music video because we wanted our artist to sell herself on her own image, and with noone else around it would be the perfect location. Overall i think this location is perfect for our music video

Location shots

The location for our video is local, we had problems with the initial place we wanted to film which was in a field, because the weather is not good at the moment we changed our idea from a field to a forest, we think that the fact that its in a forest could coincide with our music and visuals, the location gives and eery feeling to the video and the lighting is quite dark.

Our artist

The artist that me and Charlotte have chose, is a friend of mine, we chose her because she if convenient as she is local and will be able to work with us when we need her. She performs in pubs and bars locally and she is quite well known around our town. Her music is original, and fits what we wanted to originally do for a music video.

Film pitch and audience feedback

Our feedback from our film pitch showed us that the audience liked our choice of song, and the fact that it is narrative based, we will be doing a lot of work to match lyrics to visuals, as we think this will work well in a narrative based video. Suggestions showed that we should think of a star image motif to use in the video as this will label the artist.
