Research Into Genre

Production Log - 11/9/14

In my media lessons I have continued working on my research and planning. This week I have focused more on the research side and set myself homework to complete 3 planning tasks. For my research work I began working on the research into existing labels where I researched many different music labels. Doing this gave me a much wider understanding of the different record labels. Secondly I worked on the research into an Artist. For my artist research I decided to use the artist who I am using for my music video who is Ellie Goulding. Researching my artist means now I know a lot more about her such as the basic facts to how she became famous and her different albums. Finally I created a prezi where I displayed the work I had done on the pop genre. I was able to research the different aspects of the pop genre in order to find out a lot more information. I also researched the social norms and cultures of pop music as well as giving background on the pop genre.

Production Log - 5/9/14

Throughout the summer i have been working on filming my music video. I decided to use Beth as my model and picked the outfits that she would wear very carefully so that it clearly linked to the pop song. The first location where I filmed was camden. Here i was able to find a graffiti wall and I had Beth infront of this. In camden I also filmed at the canal and on a bridge which over looked the canal. Due to camden being a bright location I had Beth wearing a bright yellow playsuit. I then done some filming inside on the sofa which looked very effect with the red pillows. Finally I filmed in London where I was able to go to the top of city hall to over look London and tower bridge. Here beth was wearing a girly dress which was sparkly and had her hair curly which looked effective with the location. I still have some filming to do which I will complete in the next month. I have also been working on my research and planning for my music video.

Filming/Editing Schedule

I aim to complete the majority of the filming during the summer period as most of my shots wil be outside and therefore I want to ensure I have the best possible weather to achieve this. Therefore I will aim to stick to this schedule:

Scene One: Cyprus

Filming – 12th August 2014, 5:30am

Editing – 8th September 2014. Editing will continue after this until the first draft of the entire video is complete.

Details: On this day, I would like to have achieved a shot of the sun rise. I believe that by filming this whilst on holiday I would achieve the best possible sunrise shot, rather than completing this in London where I could not garentee the sun. I will use a tripod when shooting this shot as The camera will have to be kept still for a long period of time whilst the sun rises and I do not want the footage to be shaky.

 

Scene Two: Camden

Filming – 2nd August 2014, All day

Editing - 15th July. Editing will continue after this until the first draft of the entire video is complete.

Details: The shots which I acheive in camdem will give me the bright summery theme which I am trying to achieve with the video. I will film in a range of locations across Camden, and hope to find a brightly coloured wall such as a grafifi wall. I will aim to achieve a lot of footage from different angles in order to make sure I have enough footage aswell as ensuring that when the video is complete it does not looking boring.

 

Scene Three: London

Filming – 29th August 2014

Editing - 8th September 2014. Editing will continue after this until the second and final drafts of the entire video is complete.

Details: Once I had filmed in this final location it may be that I do not have enough footage. Therefore Iwill plan to shoot in the studio once I have completed the majority of editing of footage I already have.

Scene Four: Studio

Filming – 4th Decemeber 2014

Editing - 5th December 2014. Editing will continue after this until the second and final drafts of the entire video is complete.

Details: My final location where I filmed was in the studio (black box room). In this location I wanted to achieve a range of shots of my artist including both mid and close up shots. In addition to this I will ensure that I shot from a range of different angles. Whilst in the studio I want to achieve shots of my artist performing as this seems most relevant to the studio location.
