POST FILMING VIDEO DIARY POST FILMING DIARY ALL This is our Post-Filming Diary. So, before going into each shoot, we had a clear understanding through planning, mind maps and general organisation of what we were going to do. We played to our strengths of what each of us were going to organise, meaning we all had responsibilities, so we could get the best possible outcome. We also planned our shoots according to the weather, dates and times and each other’s lives. We took it into consideration that we all have to fit in around each other. To begin with, we also thought the most efficient way to get all the filming done to our highest standard possible was to have three shoots; 1. daylight outside shots 2. daylight inside shots and 3. night time shots. For this to happen we had to plan ahead, looking at the weather, outfits, and props before so that each day went smoothly. I think one we thing we did really well was work as a team seeing as nobody was doing more than anothe...

EXTRA AUDIENCE RESEARCH When thinking about our idea, we have decided that to re-inforce our plan by interviewing 4 women about their relationships with their sisters and how they think it has changed, may change and how its portrayed in the media.

HERE'S THE VIDEO:

FINAL SONG CHOICE What artist are we using and which song? We are using the song 'I'll try anything once" - The Strokes. We think the song will go really well with our concept because even though our idea has a happy feeling, the sombre tone of the song will almost juxtapose the video. This hopefully will be successful in challenging the normal forms conventions of music videos.  BELOW ARE SOME MORE THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS: When “Last Nite,” the second single off the band’s 2001 debut  Is This It  dropped, it signaled a sea change in music. With pop-punk slipping into irrelevance and rap metal sliding into self-parody, rock fans were hungry for something new. That something was The Strokes and many garage rock revival bands that rose to prominence in their wake. The band’s first proper music video, the Roman Coppola directed “Last Nite” captures everything that made the band an early 21 st century sensation; their impeccable but ragged musicianship...
