2nd Shoot

  These are some images from our most recent shoot which i believe was very successful as the footage that we got was to a high standard as we were able to include things like a lens flare which creates an interesting look. When we started to shoot the sky was very cloudy therefore the fist few shots wasn't very well lighted however when the sun came out the footage we captured was fascinating. Also we were able to go to a few different locations as Charlie can now drive which has helped us greatly as we used his car to keep the camera steady and track backwards at a high angle whilst the main character was jogging. Also from going to different locations it keeps the audience more interested throughout the music video as if we shot in one location with the main character just jogging it would be boring for the viewers.

again, we attempted to get interesting shots and shoot it in a different way and we came up of an idea to shoot the character through the wing mirror of the car which is part of Goodwin Analysis as it is voyeurism/notion of looking. This was also where the lens flare was creating as the sun bounced off the camera and the mirror which gave it a good effect.

Overall, the footage that we captured on that day was very interesting and I am exciting to start editing the Music video as I think from the shots we have taken so far it is going to be interesting.

First Shoot

First Shoot

Last week we shot the running scene which involves the main character jogging around the streets and training to improve his fighting skills to be able to fight at the end of the Music video. The takes that we shot were very successful because I felt we organised ourselves and planned which shots were need to be taken. Nevertheless, whilst at the location i thought of some interesting shots which included using the camera to focus on an object blurring the character and then focusing on the character half way through then take. I feel this was successful as it added a different dimension to the scene making it more interesting for the viewers.

Also to help us in the editing side of the Music video we shot longer shots so we had more room to cut and play with which is important as it may force you to retake some scenes. Also we also shot the scenes numerous of times and in different locations so we had more shots than necessary for insurance as not all the footage may look good in the editing stage.




Above is a short video of what the location we shot the footage at looked like. As a group we thought about which location would best suit this scene as we could have shot it at a gym however we decided to shoot it on the streets in a working class area to show that the character isn't wealthy and is trying to do the best he can do with the resources he has. The location we chose to shoot at was Lovel Avenue as we decided we wanted the surrounding houses to be attached as detached houses seem to be in more of a wealthy area.

Digipak- 1st Draft

This is my first draft of my digipak with all panels together. Some panels need improvements and more designing such as the raffle ticket panel. I am going to analyse each panel separately and state which improvements are needed and what i like about it in a later post.

Track Listing

Track listing

- Hair of the Dog
- Club Foot
- I Hear Voices
- Never Knew 
- R U Mine?
- Naive
- Do I Wanna Know?
- Look Right Through

Above is the track listing I have chosen to feature in my digipak. Most of the songs above are taken from other Indie rock bands such as R U Mine? and Do I Wanna Know which are from the Arctic Monkeys. Also it has the song that features in our music video Club Foot.

Digipak feedback

Above is the audio feedback received from teacher. This has helped because I now know what posts I need to do and I need to put more detail into the production and how we planned it. For example, documenting how we came to the conclusion of what we were wearing in the photo shoot and why we chose them items of clothing. Also I need to complete the design of my raffle ticket which I am using Photoshop to do however I keep changing it because I feel that it could be better.

Also I now have more ideas concerning the images on my digipak as my teacher has suggested that the coloured images look good as the original photo rather than filtered. Therefore, I am going to test some of the original photos and use them in my digipak and see what comes out better. Also it came to my attention that I need to think about the background of my raffle ticket for example some sort of sleeve that it slots into.

Digipak Pitch

Above is the video of me presenting my digipak pitch to the class. I went through each panel individually describing what is going to feature on it and how I am going to do it. I still need to develop some panels including the raffle ticket which I need to design and need t think about how I am going to place it on the panel. Also I need to improve the design of the CD and DVD as it is too plain.

Music Video Animatic

The video above shows the animatic we created to show the scene order and to put images where they are going to feature in the song. This will help us visualise the sequence of the scenes better allowing us to make improvements where needed.

Storyboards

Storyboards

Below are the storyboards to our music video we have roughly sketched the shots for each part of the video. We have not written down the length of each shot because we will have a better idea of this information when we make our animation in final cut pro as we are putting each photo in the appropriate place a long with the song. We have plenty of shots returning to band performing the song as from our research this is what indie rock bands usually do in their videos.

London Images

London photo shoot

Below is a selection of the best photos we took of our london photo shoot. we used London bridge as a location to take the photo from because we wanted to have Tower bridge in the background as it's image is known around the world. Also we wanted this to represent that we originate from London which shows our background. We also captured some extra photos of us against a brick wall and others of us on the small beach on the river Thames to make sure w used our time in London efficiently. However, the only downside to this shoot was the weather as it rained heavily however you could argue that this supports the fact we are in the ndie genre as it is dark.
