Inspiration

Some of the videos which helped to inspire us



The video above has helped to inspire as it tries to show a postive message through it lyrics and text, we believe that it has sucessfully accomplished this aim




In this much like the video above it has a postive message much like our own and this video has a very similar storyline to the one which we hope to also complete

Character Planning

We are going to have one leading singer in our band so we had to reasearch in to other bands which have a lead singer such as one republic or cold play by doing this we were able to evaluate videos and find outgenral elements of videos from bands like our own and decide whether this was were we believed we wanted our video to go or whether we would not conform to these norms   

costume and props list

things we will need to create our music video includes:

• suit for studio scene
• genral casual wear for terrys walking
• school uniform for myrin and his classroom scene
• finally i need to bring basketball type clothing for my scene on the courts
• a basketball

we chose these items of clothing so we could give our artist a different look. making sure if was not what you expect by wearing a suit but then some of what you do by wearing a possibly hat common to the youth of today

lighting training

Our group attended lighting training were they taught us different techniques. This is basic lighting known as three point lighting important basis for any real cinematographer or photographer. It was essential for us to know these different techniques as we found that lighting is extremely helpful in creating a music video and helping to give it that professional look. three point lighting consist of a key fill and back light.

we first looked at key lighting shines directly on the person and it is seen as the main light, the key light plays a big role as it can determine the strength, colour and angle of the shot.

The fill light shines on the subject from a side angle to the key and is often place lower then the key light this light helps to control shadows caused by the other lights.

the back light finally serves the purpose of highlighting the contours of the chosen subject. 

lighting training significantly helped as it helped us to get a basic understand of lighting and we were told when playing with the lighting we can become creative with our shots create effect such as silhouettes by getting rid of the key light.

Research: shots

our group did some research into various shot we could use through youtube and lloking at previous music videos

Permission

We emailed RCA records to get permission for the music video. we also found a fan site were they allow people to make videos and broadcast globally so we believe we would had already kid of been giving permission and were not crossing any copyright infringement

Location

Although some may not consider it as so important location is vital to any good production because it help the create the story especially in the case of music videos it is vital because the lyrics many times will come across in the location. This is why we did a lot of research in to our location.   

• Norwood Lakes Basketball courts
• Bus
• Classroom
• A street in South Norwood
• Film studio

these were good locations because of the exposure to light not just that but how we would possibly be able to control the light with the use of the different equipment (film studio) and the elements such as trees (norwood lakes) and how assesible they generally meaning that it is good for our media project.

"People use location as a language in films, and Quentin uses action as a language in his films. There's really not a lot of violence. It's more of an emotional beat than it is a physical beat."

Lucy Lui

This quotes shows the importance of location.
