Organisation

After many different messages on the Social Media Site 'Facebook' with my cousins in a group chat we have finally arranged a date for the filming of m music video for 7 Years. I feel as though I am now organised to film and also by getting this date I will now get all the props needed to film and hire a camera off one of my teachers. After talking to my cousins (Who will play the happy family) in video I have been suggested a film called 'Moms List filmed in the location where I want go so I will look into the film to get some different shot ideas and location to make my film look professional.

This is the final storyboard (Include picture) which I have created. Hopefully, From this storyboard it includes the type of basic shot which I want to achieve also the timings of each shot and because I am not filming in my hometown I need to hope that I get the exact timings of each shot perfectly otherwise I will have to take all the actors back down to the film place and this will not be ideal as I want to start the editing.

Drafting and Planning

I have created a storyboard with a second by second breakdown on how the actual final piece is going to look. As we can see here I am using a variety of different shots and angles to get the best out of my music video. From the original we can see that he has gone for a much different narrative than mine but the shots which are used are similar to mine. I have changed the storyline from the original because I wanted to do something unique and hopefully show a different side to the song. I have researched different A2 music videos to this song and ones similar but none of them really have that close of a connection. Overall, my storyboard is going to help me when it comes to actual filming of my moving image project as it will help my remember how I waned the final piece to look.

Drafting and Planning

 This is what I have created so that I can easily keep track of what I have done and what I need to do. This is basically my checklist for my whole entire video.
As you can see I am noting down:
  • Cast
  • Location
  • Costume
  •  Props
In my lesson tomorrow I am going to add to this checklist so that when I am get down to filming I have everything I need. I need to be this organised for my video because of the location. If I miss a certain shot or something goes wrong while filming I will not get the opportunely to do it again this is because of the high demands for the cameras which we are using and also of the long journey if would be to much to make my actors make that long journey again

Organisation

As my previous blogs show I am going to Clevedon to film my footage for my music video. I wanted to ensure that I am as organised as possible when shooting because I only have the camera for a limited amount of time. I have sent an email out to all the actors in which I wanted my music video to feature and also I am going to sort out their costumes very soon. I have been looking into the weather down there so that I can easily portray the things I want to. I have been looking into shooting on Sunday 4th and Monday 5th of December but I might have to rearrange that depending on other people shooting scheduled but also whether I feel prepared enough in myself because I only get one chance to film so it has to be good.

Drafting and Planning

This is an example of me using my social media account Twitter of a way of getting feedback and maybe even ideas from some of my peers. I have received positive feedback from this tweet including:
"Great Idea Paddy, Think they will work really nicely together,"
 I really hope that I can make the 2 work together. To achieve this I will use a wide variety of shots and angles and hope that it looks professional. I will use social media accounts like Twitter and Facebook to try to get feedback and ideas for the final piece.

I am going to use the song 7 Years by Lucas Graham for my music video with the story line. As shown in previous blogs (Previous Blog ) I was hoping to use the song Jamie T Emily's Heart but then after we did a pitch to my peers we realized that it wasn't appropriate. Therefore I have  used the same story but with a different song. As you can see I am going to start the story in a different way. As the song states throughout "Once I was 7 years old" I am going to add another characters. I am going to use a 60/70 year old man to start off the video. He will be shown looking back at a photo of his childhood and it will take him back. The end shot will then be him with a tear in his eye and emotional about the 'story from his childhood' which he has just relived. I believe the end result will be successful. As you can see from this A2 video of the same song I have been heavily influenced by they are completely different.
