First Filming Attempted

This is our first part of filming which went wrong due to a number of reasons.We originally planned to go to Hunstanton to do filming on the 26th of October,but unfortunately this is the only day which we could go and this is the day in which the weather was terrible, it did not stop raining and it was extremely windy.

Here is the map, this is the route which we took to get tothebeach,the reason why we went to this chosen beach is because it was close and the location was an area we we knew.

The main idea was to go up there for the day then hopefully get half of the filming done, but as shown in the video above it did not go to plan because of poor weather conditions.

However, overall I actually think this worked out for the best. By doing this we had an experiences of trying to do lip syncing, so when it comes to our actual final filming we will find it a lot easier to make the lip syncing work and look good.

Here are some of the photo's which we took during the day of filming.

Directors Pitch

Director Pitch/ Treatment For Music Video.

Name Of Artist: J.R.A

Title of Track: Closure

Genre: Acoustic

Terget Audiences: Age of 15-30

Outline of Ideas: What will happen?

There will be a vairety of different shots of a young male that is clearly up set about recently losing his female partner and wanting her back in his life. We will film the male character in a built up area to give more emphasis that he is lost and alone. We are having a mixture of performace based and narrative.

Intertextual References? What is it like? What should it remind us of?

What the actually music video is a typical pop video with a male character portaying his feeling through song about a girl which he has lost. The male character is just a sterotype of a young male which plays guitar being really emtional, also singing about a girl.

Locations

For the filming of the music video we have discussed as a group various locations to film in. We have decided on the locations of Milton Keynes town centre, also abbingdon park in Northampton Town. The reason why we picked these two location is because they have a really good varity of scerny, which is postive because it will make our music video a lot more interesting.

What Resoures are needed?

For the actual filming of our music video we need a camera, tripod, form of transport. We also need a car for the fliming because we are trying to do steady smooth tracking shots, by having a car when filming it would make the shot so much easier.

Key Shots and Special Feartures

· Low angle long shot of the traffic on the motorway from a bridge.

· Shots of male artist in open space out the front of Milton Keynes Central Station.

· Need to ensure that the artist has a guitar, however not in every shot.

Justifications of Ideas in Realtaion to Genre and Artist

The vast majority of the video is of the artist, who happens to be the actor as well. This is a generic feature of the genre which we are doing already, so it fits in well.
