Letter to Students

We have a letter in which we will send to the students in the list which our head of performimg arts sent to us. It informs the student what we are doing and what we will like them to take part in.  The cpoy above is the one which we will send out to the students.

Green screen

We tried filming a green screen yesterday, however when uploading it onto the editing software it failed, it says that the pieces of film we used was in the wrong format. We are going to try again soon.

Extras

Seeing as me and Dan are not the only two going to be in the video, Dan emailed our head of performing arts for a group of younger students who is good at acting, dancing or both! He got a reply with a whole list of willing students who we can choose from.

Research into Websites

We have been looking at band/artists websites so we can get some ideas for our website design. We found out and looked into certain codes and conventions in which websites follow. Each website will have different codes and conventions depending on what they are promoting.
We found out that websites follow certain codes and conventions. When we create our website we will use a website called Weebly. We will create our website through the codes and conventions which most websites follow.

Things We need for our Music Video

For our music video we have thought to include other people that can use their skills from other areas to improve the quality of the music video. Antoher reason for wanting to get other people to do certain jobs for us is that if we have people doing jobs that may not be within our skill set we can focus more on making the video for our artist and concerntrating on the main task at hand. This can also give people and opportunity to get experience to help them improve their skills or even to put on their C.V.

The jobs we would like we have to do and need to sort out for our shoot include:
Make up and Hair artist of some kind

Actors to play both main roles and possible extras

Artist to help make props and paint the back drop

People to either help make or find costumes

People to help with odd jobs like controlling sound equipment who may be interested in a carrer with media

Equipment needed for our music video

These are things we need in order to shoot our video and to make our video.

1) We need a Facility to shoot our video, we need a setting which we can decorate it into however we want.
2) We need Two Digital cameras to film our footage, one will record the actual music video and the other camera will be used to record behind the scenes footage, We will use the footage to upload onto the computer.
3)We will need a microphone to record the audio side of the video, the microphone in the video cameras wont be powerful or good enough to record what we want
4)We need a set of lights which can be used to place behind props and the camera to change the lighting this will help to change the conventions of the video
5) We need to get a reflecter to reflect the lights around the set.

Nerd love

Dan posted a page on  facebook to advertise to people so they can be in our music video , Once we have enough people to take part in it we will get everybody together and tell them the plan for the music video.

'Nerd Love'

Out of Maisies songs we have chosen to pick 'Nerd Love', the reason for this song choice is because it is mine and Dans favourite song of Maisies.
Even though the songs are different we aim to use a similer idea of Scouting For Girls' love how it hurts video, We aim to use the idea of clothing and probs etc.

Rock Videos

Seeing as the most popular answer in The poll I posted was 'Rock' We will be researching into the codes and conventions into rock songs and what kind of thing happens in a rock video.

Bon Jovi - Its My Life

Research into similer products

This is one of the latest tracks by Scouting For Girls. We are going to make a video with a similer aspect of this one, with a 'Nerdy' boy as the centeral character. We are  basing the main chracter on a nerdy person like this video this is because we chose a song which will work well with the song we have chosen. However the song we are using isn't similer to this Souting  For Girls song.

Audience Research

I posted a Poll on Facebook to find out what kind of music people listen to. There was a range of different answers but the most popular choice was Rock music.
