Post 39: FINAL: Idea

FINAL IDEA

Our final idea hasn't changed from our planning stage. This means that we haven't adapted or reordered anything from when we settled on our idea for our music video, a couple of months ago. Our final idea is two sisters, in fact 17-year old twins, going away to a beach house/holiday house. They want to spend time with each other, cooking, walking on the beach, reading in bed, board games, shopping and other, perhaps, menial tasks and hobbies, but meaningful to them because they're together. They want to get away/run away because they don't live together or speak much. They spend the time at a beach house that belongs to their friend, and don't spend time on their phones at all. There are lots of interesting and cosy rooms to explore with the girls where they can spend their time. The props are minimal, except everything they use in the rooms, e.g. kitchen utensils when cooking or bedding, when sleeping. At the moment, there is no dialogue but it will contain foley sounds and this is time when filming to change our minds about having one or two lines of dialogue at the beginning or the end, depending how it goes on the day. They wear minimal make-up because we think they would if it were real life, and the cast wear their own clothes, so it looks natural. The song is called 'I'll Try Anything Once' by The Strokes. It's an almost somber song, with meaningful lyrics that we think juxtaposes the companionship of the sisters. To check out more of our idea, look HERE.

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next withou...

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or intervie...

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
