Rock Music Poster Editing

 This video shows an extract of the process that one member of our group was going through whilst editing a practice album cover. They were trying to see if some of the ideas that they had for the cover would work and how they could go about improving their ideas. Whilst doing so, he found that the software that was on the tablet was very limited in terms of what he wanted to achieve over all and felt that it wasn't a successful software to use for the final piece. This meant that because he had had the practice on the software before hand, we were able to talk as a group and decide this wasn't the best method for us to use.This then saved time for us as we were able to way out the positive and negatives early on in the process.

Editing Post 3

For this editing session we had to finalise our second draft to our Rock music video. Within this session, we needed to make sure that all the irrelevant shots were deleted and no more clips of Liam were included at all.he clips that we did have of Liam had to be replaced with Lee. We then had to make sure that he did look part of the band and not an outcast.

We had to add in the band shots and make sure that the instruments synced up to the beat of the music whilst they were being played. This bit was hard as Lee had never played the guitar before and Kieran had in return never played the drums. This meant that they did not fully know how to play the instrument and so the syncing was a lot harder. However, because they listened to the rhythm of the song they managed to get as much in time as they could which helped when it came to the editing process. We also had the hard job of doing the quick cut shots between the different instruments when it came to the solo fast part in the music. We wanted them to alternate so that they almost flashed in and off of the screen. This would reflect a live feel to the band like they were playing on a stage for the audience. It would also keep the music video interesting so that the viewer would want to continue watching it.

Editing Post 2

Tuesday 10th December

For this editing session we had a lot to change to make our Rock music video meet all the requirements that were necessary to achieve a more realistic Rock music video. This involved cutting out the footage that we no longer needed or could use. We couldn't use some of this footage as it was either shaky or contained shots of Liam who is no longer in the band. It also contained shots of the wrong costumes and there for would not fit in with continuity. This then left us space to make room for more band shots which were missing in our first draft. This meant that our first draft did not reflect or meet some of the conventions it needed to and therefor this needed to be changed.

As we had recently filmed the new footage with the new band member, we were able to add this footage in and edit it together. Just by adding in this new footage we were getting a much slicker feel to our Rock music video as a whole. The new footage featured much clearer, still shots which contained more angle types that helped build up the atmosphere to the song.

When editing this footage, we made sure to cut to the beat and have all the lipsynching in time to the lyrics. This resulted on a cleaner, more realistic video as because of Andrews clear performance, it almost looked like he was actually performing live. We also made sure that all of the shots flowed well together whilst making sure that they weren't too long so that it no longer fitted with the conventions that we needed to stick too.

Filming Log 6

Sunday 8th December

For this filming session we managed to get all of the park shots done that we needed to film. As Liam had hurt his knee and wasn't able to film, we have introduced Lee as the friend that finds Andrew. We managed to get both of the band members perspectives of the meeting in the various angles that we decided to use.

Whilst we were editing and had made our first draft, we saw that the flashbacks of Andrew and I did not work as well as we as a group would of liked. As a whole, we decided to remove these shots and so when we went on our second filming shoot we decided not to re-film these shots and to just remove them instead. It also did not cut right to the beat of the music and so it did not flow well within the music video.This would then free up a little bit of time to make room for more band shots where we can include more lip syncing from Andrew. It also helps us stick to the stereotypical conventions of a Rock music video that are needed to portray this genre effectively. 

However, we did encounter a difficulty when it came to this filming session. As we didn't have the box for this filming session we have to make a reason why Andrew suddenly does not have his prop. We are now planning to film a shot where Andrew falls over and breaks his box. This will also link well with the idea that he is surrounded by bad luck that's coming from the break up. This will only be a quick shot, but it will explain a lot more about the story of the music video as a whole. 

Filming Log 7

Thursday 12th December

Within this filming session, we introduced lee into the band as the guitarist. This is because of the issues we have had previously which has lead to Liam being unable to film with us. Within these shots, we can see all the band together in their correct costumes. The area was quite cramped which helped portray the Rock genre to the piece. To make sure the mise én scene fitted with the Rock genre, we covered up the sofa with white blankets and different materials. We also made sure that the background was less family orientated by removing the family pictures from the wall.

We managed to get a variety of different camera angles to make sure that we really portrayed the Rock image that we wanted to get across. We got a variety of different camera shots of Lee on the guitar from various angles to show his image in a range of ways. Also we filmed Kieran playing the drums to make sure that we have a variety of shots to cut to the beat. These will be used to sync up the playing of the instruments in time to the music. Some of our most successful shots were when Andrew was looking directly into the camera lip synching. I think these worked well because he is engaging with the audience so you almost feel part of their band. This fits in with the conventions that are needed in a Rock music video.

However, towards the end our camera had filled up all of its memory which meant that we couldn't get a shot done that we would have liked too but was not necessary to our music video. We now know for next time that we should take more than one memory card so that an issue like this does not come up again. This way we can avoid any mis-hap from happening.

Overall I feel that the filming session went well as we managed to get everything done that we needed too.
We all worked well as a group,which helped the process of the filming session. This meant that we managed to set up the background and misé en scene quickly and efficiently. We also managed to get a lot of filming done in the time we had provided for us which is excellent.

Peer Feedback For First Draft

06/12/13

When we got our feedback back, there were a few points that the majority had said. I chosen these so that the group have a clear idea of what needs to be done.

Strengths:

The majority of the feedback said that Andrews performance was very good as he appeared confidence and had distinct characteristics. He was also clear with the lyrics which made the lip synching more realistic. Many people said that the storyline was clear, creative and the costume helped tell the story because it was conventional to the Rock genre.

- Performance + lip synching
- Costume --> Conventional
- Shot angles are good

Weaknesses:

- Not enough cuts between shots
- Some shaky, unframed shots
- More performance shots needed

Average Grade: D
Average Mark: 15
Average Level: 2
Most common mark: 20

A change in our group

We have encountered some issues to do with one of our band members, Liam. Unfortunately he has hurt his knee and so he will not be able to be in our music video anymore. Another reason is that he has had a hair cut as so the continuity will not be right if we still kept him in. This means that we have had to change a band member within our group. This band member will now be replaced with someone called Lee who we fill will fit the role perfectly and is willing to do so for us.

As we have had this change in group, we will need to re-film the footage that Liam was featured in as it would not make sense to still have him in it. This means that we will need to schedule a time where we can all get together and film everything that is necessary for our Rock music video. Due to this change, we will be cutting out the train shots for many reasons. One is the lack of time to re-film this footage and we feel that it did not flow right with the rest of the music video. We will also be cutting out the footage of Andrew and I; the flashbacks, as they took up too much time within the video. This meant that we did not have enough time to show any lipsynching or enough band shots that were needed. We also could not do exactly what we wanted with the flashbacks and together as a group we came up with the decision to cut out these shots.

Editing

Editing:

After each filming session, our group have been editing all the successful pieces of footage together to create the first draft to our Rock music video. The editing has mainly been done by Liam and Andrew so far but Kieran and I will take over soon. We have decided to do it like this as it means that the other group members can be getting on with other things that need to be done at the same time. It makes it so that we are not all doing the same thing at the same time.

In each editing session, we have tried to make sure that each cut is to the beat of the music. This is because it links in with the stereotypical conventions of a music video as a whole. It especially links in with the Rock genre as the majority of shots are fast paced and quickly cut between each other. We still have some long shots within our draft and we need to cut these down as much as possible to fit in completely with the conventions. 

Filming Log 5

 Band shots:

26/11/13

Within this filming session we set out to film all of the band shots that we needed when all of the band were back together. These shots were to be filmed at Andrews house in his front room and were to include all o f the band members.However this did not go to plan as much as we would have liked or hoped. There were many reasons for this misfortune.

One of these reasons was that we only had three members of our group present at the filming session and this included only two band members. This is because Liam, our guitarist, had hurt his knee and was having to be on crutches. This meant that he could not be present at the filming session and so in result of this he had to stay behind and edit the rest of the footage that our group had  filmed. As he was not present, we were missing the lead guitarist in our band and so any whole group footage could not be used in our final music video.

Another issue that we encountered was that one of the band members, Kieran, had forgotten to pick up his costume. This was because he was so busy trying to remember every other piece of misé en scene and the pieces to the drum kit that he simply forgot to pick up his own stuff. This meant that he was not in his proper costume for any of the footage that was also filmed meaning that we could yet again not use it in our final product. This is because it would not fit in with the continuity costume wise.

This is low, mid-shot camera angle of Andrew. This is the angle that we filmed one length of music to where Andrew can be seen lip syncing to the lyrics. As you can see, he has all the correct costume on and so the footage can be used. Within this shot he looks directly into the camera so that he is making eye contact with the audience. This makes it so that the audience feel more involved within the piece and so this fits in with the 'live' feel that Rock bands like to portray.









This is a shot of Kieran on the drums. Within this shot, he was practicing hitting the drums in time with the beat of the music.  This was so that when it came to the filming, he knew exactly when and where he should hit the drums so that it fitted with the continuity of the music. It also meant that he could practise being in the roll of a Rock band member and he could practise how he performed on the camera.





However, this filming session helped him get used to the idea of the drums and when to hit them in time with the beat. It also gave him a chance to really let himself go and get into his character a little more than perhaps he would have done at the beginning of our filming sessions. I feel this is because he is getting more used and comfortable to his character and what he would be like as a Rock band member. This also gave the rest of the group a chance to set up the drum kit as none of us had done it before. This included putting all the sheets and pillows down to help set the scene. We firstly encountered a little issue with the drum being set up as we did not know where it could be placed within the room. However, with a lot of discussion and moving the drum kit around, we found a perfect spot that it fitted into nicely.

Even though we encountered a lot of problems within this filming shoot, we did manage to get footage of Andrew lip-syncing to the song. This footage can be used within the music video as he had all the right costume on and the footage was in focus. We managed to film all this footage from a variety of angles so that when it is edited it will cut nicely to the beat of the music.

Below is a Prezi explaining all about our third filming session and any problems that we encountered,

Filming Log 4

Train shots:

22/11/13

For the fourth filming session,we needed to film the scene where Andrew meets his third band member.Within this scene, Andrew and his band member Liam end up missing the train that they needed to get on. However, they then find that their third band member has gotten off of at that stop on the train. This shows that in times of need, his band members are always there for him. The band members then greet each other and we can see Andrew is very happy to of seen Kieran. Liam then hands Kieran Andrew's coat so that they are all holding a piece of Andrew, showing us the bond between the band members.

We didn't manage to film the last shots that we wanted because the camera that we were using unfortunately ran out if battery. However, we did film this part on a mobile phone so that when we go back to film this part again, we know exactly where each individual was standing and what position they were in. This will help with the continuity of our piece. Luckily, we managed to get the footage of the train going past which was necessary for this scene. 

The rest of the shots that we did manage to get in this session were successful and ticked all the boxes which we set out to achieve. We had little interruptions from other passers buy and they did not mind being featured within the filming process. This co-operation from others meant that the footage that we filmed looked as realistic as it would be if you were in this situation. 

After this shot, the camera unfortunately died. This meant that we could not continue to film the footage that we needed to.Luckily, we have made sure to capture this image and keep it somewhere safe so that when we go back to film we have a good idea on the positioning of each band member. This will help a lot with the continuity of the piece.


This is footage where Kieran, Liam and Andrew greet each other when they spot one another.We then see Liam pass Kieran a piece of Andrews belongings so that they all share a piece to represent the close bond between them. We then see them walk towards the camera as they head off out of the train station in sync with each other and the band.  This whole shot is taken from a low angle to show the authority the band has at first. To begin with they start of right at the bottom but as they unite they end up walking in level with the camera.

First Photoshoot For The Monkey Mask

This Slide rocket shows the ideas and thought processes of this photo shoot.

Filming Log 2

The second time that we filmed we went out to do the first few shots to the 'kicked out' scene to our music video. The scene features Andrew being kicked out by Sophie and portrays the anger she has for him. To show the audience this anger, we can see Sophie pushing, slapping, chucking boxes and shouting at Andrew to get him out of the house. At the end we put we filmed shots where Andrew is shown on his own to represent the feeling of loneliness. He will then go off after, lip syncing the lyrics to the song carrying his boxes down the road. We tried a variety of different camera angles to try and find ones that hold the most emotion towards the piece. It was also useful because it shows us what angles would work better to view the action more.We also had all the props and costumes that we needed to make sure that we got the Rock lock and feel to our music video across. This included black skinny jeans and a rock top for Sophie. Andrew was wearing a smart blazer, white top and black jeans. They were both wearing black eyeliner as we feel that this is relevant to the Rock genre.

This is Andrew and Sophie in mid action whilst practicing the pushing within in the scene. We found that we had to re-take this shot on multiple occasions as it did not look as realistic as we would have liked. This image was taken from multiple images of the different practice pushes. You can see the rest of the images in the YouTube video below.

This is Sophie practicing slapping Andrew for our music video. this was practiced on a few occasions to make sure it looked realistic and like something that would appear within this scene. We also needed to see what angles would be appropriate in order to be able to see the slap fully.



 

This is a GIF taking clips from our shots that we had taken. They involve the boxes being thrown from different angles as we wanted to see what would look best.  We have also slowed down the clips to see how it would look in our final piece.This it to help us see whether it would work or not.





The YouTube video below shows two different 'pushing' techniques that we photographed. These were a practice to make sure that when it came down to filming the real footage I knew which technique is the most successful to push Andrew.

Filming Log Post 1

Band shots practice:

05/11/13

For the first session of filming, we went with the idea that we needed to do some practice shoots to make sure that we knew what worked well to lip sync with.  We also needed to see if the shots that we wanted were possible in the space and environment that we had to film in. This gave us a chance to make any last minute changed that were necessary if we felt that this space was not going to be enough for our Rock music video to achieve its full aim.

We tried a variety of different angles whilst Andrew lip synced to the song we are using. These were mainly made up of close ups and medium shots. This is so that we can see and decide as a group which angles and camera techniques look best. It also gives us the chance to see which camera angles reflect and link in with our genre of music the best.

If we feel that these shots were successful we will then use the footage for multiple cut away shots. As a whole we feel as if some of the footage we gained was quite successful within this filming session. We saw that some angles worked better than others and the lip syncing by Andrew worked well. This gives our group personal feedback to make sure that when we go to film the real footage we know what we can and cant do. It also helps broaden our knowledge and give us our limitations when it comes to making the final product.

Some practice shots from our practice filming shoot:

These are a variety of different camera angles that we used whilst filming the practice shots. We have tried to include all of the different angles that we first came up with when planning on our storyboard. This will then help limit down what we can and cant use due to how successful they were as a whole.

We feel that the shots from a lower angle are the most successful as it helps give the main band member more authority at this point in time. This can link back to the meaning of the song and how now that he is with his friends, he has gained more authority over the girl then he did at the beginning.

Post 16 - Track Permission Letter

This is the email we sent off to get permission for the use of our track. We have chosen to get track permission so that we are obeying by the copy-rite rules. This will make sure that our video doesn't get taken down from YouTube when we upload it for this exact reason. It also lets the company know that we have tried to contact them about the use of their music.

Post 13 - Photo-shoot Plan

This is our photo shoot schedule to make sure we know when all of the photos will be taken. This is so that we can make sure we have the appropriate costumes with us and all the props that we need for the photo shoot. It also prepares us in case the time table doesn't go to plan because other things come in the way and at least we will know that we have other slots that are available just in case. It also tells us the locations we will be in and what photos we will be taking whilst we are there. 

Post 15 - Talent Release Forms

Talent Release Forms;

These are our talent release forms which is a legal document in which we have all signed to make sure that there are no sudden dramatic changes when it comes to the filming. It means that now they have signed it, they can not go back on their word as they have already given out the permission that is required of them. It also states what days we will need them and where they are expected to be. They are also given information on what the production company is and who the producer is.It also gives us a little bit of contact information for each member of our company meaning that if we needed to quickly get hold of them, we could.

Post 14 - Location Permissions Letter

This is the permissions letter for us to use Andrews house for a few of our location shots. We have mentioned the days that we are planning on filming so that if they have a problem or are busy on that day they will know before hand. This will mean that we will have the information needed ahead of ourselves to make sure that we can quickly change the dates.

This is the other permissions letter which we will give out to the other locations as they are less specific. Below we have emailed our Morden Hall Park location just to ask if we could have their permission to film in their location. We are still yet waiting on a response and if we receive on we will screen grab and insert that here.  We have made sure that we mention we are a A2 group and the dates that we plan on filming there. This is so that if an event comes up and the whole place is busy, they can let us know.

Post 12 - Adverts Designs

These are the scans of our Rock album advertisements designs.We have all gone for slightly different looks to make sure that we have a variety to choose from when it comes to picking our final idea. We will choose a part from every advertisement to make sure we are including everyone's work from our group. We have gone for two Photoshop designs and two drawn designs. This is so that we can see how the different media's look and within the drawings we could be more free with our designs.We have decided to try and involve the iconic monkey within our adverts as this would become an iconic figure that people would recognise with the band.
Two of the advertisements are in black and white and the other two are in colour. This is because we are not yet sure which one will look better and will reflect our genre more. We quite like the effect that black and white has on the viewer and feel it shows quite a lot of emotion which is good for a Rock band.

We have chosen to stick to the stereotypical conventions of an advertisement by making sure that we include an image of the artist, the artists name, the album name and the release date. In my poster, I have decided to include the image of a monkey as it will become very iconic within the band and will be featured in everything. I have decided to place the band members within the middle of the poster because I feel it will then draw in the audience more and will therefore be more eye catching. In the final advertisement, our group will try to include quotes from other producers or companies to help bring across the real look to our album.

Post 10 - Shooting Schedule

This is the shooting schedule that we will stick too when carrying out our music video. We have jotted down all the equipment's and props that we will need for each section to make sure that nothing is forgotten that will lead into us not being able to film on that day. We have given ourselves extra time to make sure all the shots that we need are perfect and if we do need to re-shoot we have the time necessary for this. This will also make sure that we have enough time to get the editing done in the way that we want it and to make sure our video sticks with the stereotypical conventions successfully.

Post 11 - CD Cover Design

This is Liam's CD design and he has gone with our final band name 'The Bass Monkeys'. He has decided to use a monkey mask on the album cover. This will reflect the band name and their monkey icon which will be seen on various different items. He has also chosen to go along with a black and white theme because he feels it reflects the moods and emotions of a Rock band well. His design also fits in with the stereotypical conventions because he has featured the bands faces, band name and album name all on the CD.

This is Kieran's CD album cover idea. He has gone a long with the band name 'Three Way Mile' and he has titled the album 'Atlas'. He has predominantly used the colours green red and blue as he feels these are the colours that reflect the world/earth. He has also stuck to the convention as he has shown some images of instruments within each little design.

This is my design and I have chosen to go along with the band name ' Bass Monkeys' and the CD album name 'Triple Monkey Business'. I have decided to mainly use shots of the band and their instruments because in the Rock genre they are all about their music. I have then decided to have have a shot of each band member on their own and one as a group because I feel that it is important to recognise each member individually as well as separately.

This is Andrew's design and he has gone for our overall name 'Bass Monkeys'. He has decided to base his around lots of close up shots of the band and the instruments involved. He has used just the band name within each image so that we can easily change around each shot when it is necessary as we felt we needed one idea that we can use in many different ways.

Post 8 - Lists of props, Costumes, Make-up and Equipment

The Prezi below shows all the Mise en scene that I will need to successfully stick to the stereotypical conventions of a Rock music video. It explains the different items that I need for my character and why I need them. It also includes the images so that I can have a rough idea on what my outfit is going to look like. This is so that I can make sure it fits in with all the conventions that are necessary. It also helps me to remember what equipment I will need so that I do not forget anything on the day of filming.

Post 7 - Storyboards

These are images of our story board being held up by Andrew. This is to show proof of the original storyboard. It shows all of our shots in one place and to show our process through each shot. It also shows the original ideas and colours that we first came up with when faces with the idea of a storyboard.





These are shots of our final storyboard all pieced together on one piece of paper in a flip book style.We then photographed each image individually and put these into a form of an animatic video. This will help show the order of our rock music video and also gives us the chance to see if any of the shots do not work well together. We realised that some of the shots look quite long on the video but when it comes to the real thing they wont seem as long as there will be more action going on at the time. It has helped us to see the video as a whole and to help piece together what our final outcome could look like.

Post 9 - Location Shots

Location One:

These shots of the front room location where the band would be playing throughout the video and more towards the end. Instead of having this more homely look to the room, we wall dress it up in older, rustic looking blankets and pillows. This is because when we have looked at previous videos including 'Walk' by the Foo Fighters, at the end they have had older looking rugs and furniture to give the room a more Rock feel.  It is also a good size as its a medium size and that means that when we put the instruments into the room, it will look more cramped which it would is it expected in the rock genre. It is also situated close enough to where we would need to bring the instruments from meaning that it is suitable in many ways.

This doorway leads to the hallway which is where some of the shots for the band could be taken. This would give the shots a more secretive feel as it would be like we were peering at them practicing in their own environment and wont look so forced. It will also be a challenge to try and get all the instruments through the doorway. This could be a problem that we could encounter but we will try everything to best avoid this situation. This is also the door in which will be seen in the music video when Myself and Andrew will be arguing. This scene will involve him being kicked out and this is the area where the boxes will be thrown. This is the sort of shot that you will see in the background of the rest of the camera shots. As it is in the middle of being decorated, we feel it is perfect location because it gives the house a more rock feel whilst giving the impression that the couple had not finished decorating yet.

This is a shot of the outside of the house where the the 'being kicked out' scene will occur. It is a good location as it has the big open window which has a good size compartment that opens up which is a big enough to chuck the boxes out of. It also means we can have camera shots of his reflection in the window whilst shes looking out so they are both in the same shot. This will give this location a more interesting feel. It is also good because there is various places in which the camera can be placed to get the most interesting shots.

Location Two:

For this scene, we will have the shots of the guy continuing on with his bad luck by missing the train. We will film this at St Helier train station as it has an open plan which we can use to film successfully. We can use the stairs to our advantage as it means that we can have high birds eye shots of the guy and his band friend. This would make them seem slightly lower than us at the time due to the fact that he is having all this bad luck. Also we can have the establishing shot of a panning shot of them walking through the arch down to the train station area. 

 

Location Three:

These are the shots that we have taken at Morden Hall Park which is another of our locations. We have chosen to film here because it is easy enough to get to for all of us which means we can visit back easily if more shots are needed. It also suits the theme and genre of our Rock music video which  means it is a location which will meet all the expected conventions.It is also usually quite quiet which helps the filming as we will not get distracted or interrupted as easily by members of the public.  

This is the bench that the main guy will be sitting at when the flashback and bad luck happens to him. We thought that this was in a good place because it is surrounded by a lot of greenery which means we will have a lot of room to film in. It is also a nice place for the flashback to happen as it is surrounded by flowers and pretty gardens which helps build up the atmosphere. 






This is the path in which the two characters will walk off down to get out of the park. It will also be the way in which the main character comes in as it is a nice scenic route and gives way for us to have room for filming. As it is such a long path, it means that we can have a variety of shot types to help portray our Rock music genre.  




 This is the river which runs through the whole park. We thought that this would be a nice shot too include within our music video as it shows the pretty side to the park just before his bad luck hits him again.  

 

Post 3 - Song Details

For our chosen song we decided to use 'Learnt My Lesson Well' by the Kaiser Chiefs.

We decided to choose this song because we feel it will fit in well with the stereotypical conventions that we need to meet. You can also hear each individual instrument which means that when performing, we can have shots that will go with the particular part in the music.The lyrics are also easy to hear and learn so that when performing, the person lip synching will be able to do it in time with the music. This will also help the continuity editing to look more professional. As a group, we also like how the music builds up and slows down in certain areas which is needed to help build up the atmosphere. The song also has a live atmosphere to it which helps us to think of different locations we could use to film. The genre of this song is Indie Rock, this help us know what sort of costumes we should wear.

Post 6 - Concept

This Prezi shows the various locations that we have come up with when we first thought about the idea and concept behind our Rock music video. It also contains some cutaway's that we are planning on adding in throughout the video to give the piece a more clearer concept and storyline.

The  first initial idea plan for our locations that will be featured in our music video.

 

 

These are some of the ideas for our music video that our has group come up with. We have gone along with the concept that a girl and boy have had a bad break up and she is almost forcing him out the house . The way that we will get this idea across is by having the girl chuck out the guys things into boxes and out of the window. After this we have decided that he will go to a park with all of his boxes in hand and the girl will reappear there. We will then produce a slow motion shot of the guy being pushed into the some water by the girl. His band member friend will appear and help him out. He will later on walk with his friend to join the rest of his band. Here he will play the final section of the song and he will also get sympathy from the band members. This will link in with the lyrics as when we analyzed them this is the concept that we felt the lyrics represented. Throughout all the shots, the guy will always have his boxes on him as a visual element to the piece. It can also be used to connote with how the guy will be carrying the weight of the relationship.

Annotated Lyrics

For our music video lyric analysis we tried to grab the concept towards the song and interpret into our own way. By doing this, we have put our own personal spin onto the piece and come up with an original idea. Now that we have a good concept to go with the lyrics, we can begin to come up with the ideas that will feature in our final project.

Post 2 - Roles

Roles situated for each group member: 

Sophie Andrews

Director - My group felt that I would be a good director as I keep well organised, have good time keeping skills and aim high for my group.

Cameraman - I will be sharing this role with Liam as the rest of the group feel that we will be best for this role as we have had experience in using cameras.

Performer - I will be be performing in the music video as the role of the girl who kicks out Andrew from his house. I will only be featured in the beginning as this is the only time that my character comes into play.

Kieran Scannella

Lighting -Kieran will be in charge of lighting because we as a group feel that he is the most useful in this role as he has a good understanding on what looks best when dealing with this genre.

Drummer- As a whole we felt that Kieran would be good for this role as he has had experience in this role. When we did a class music video practice before hand, he took on his role well and effectively.

Andrew Ducasse    

Vocalist/Performer - Andrew will be the vocalist because he performs well whilst lip syncing and puts in a lot of effort whilst doing so.
                                                                                Sound -Andrew will be in charge of sound because we feel he will be good to help check for any errors that have occurred. This will mean he will be in charger of any back up music that is needed.

                                                                                Liam Glencross
                                                                                Cameraman - Liam and I will be sharing this role as we work well together and have some background knowledge into cameras.
                                                                                Bass guitarist - Liam will be on bass as our group felt it was a good role for him as we know he will put a lot of effort into this role. It is also quite hard as he doesn't originally play bass guitar so he will have to make sure he is hitting the drums at the same time to the beat.  



Mise en scene -Everybody will be in charge of their own costumes and make sure they have the correct props to go along with their character.

Editing - Everyone will be in charge of editing as we can all get  a chance to edit and gain experiences through the different types of software that we will use.
