Locations images for Music video

As part of our research and planning for our music video we were required to take pictures of the locations we plan to shoot the scenes.



One of the locations we will be filming at is 'Brockwell Park'  and we plan to film the scene where Alicia sits in the park and her male interest is also in the park taking pictures, as his occupation is a photographer.            

We chose the park as a location so that we can show Alicia's lost in her own world, singing and thinking about her love interest. We'll also shoot her walking down the pathway singing.

We have also planned to shoot some of the scenes in Carnaby Street, where we will be filming Alicia walking down the street with the street lights shining bright behind her. During this scene Alicia will also be bumping into her lover for the very first time, while he is handing out his business card.

Date:     12/11/14                                                                    Time: 3/4

Setting:                  Park                                                              Location: Brockwell Park

Crew members and roles:  Ashleigh – Cameraman, Joyce – Director, Chantelle - Director

Extras: passers by in the park

Wardrobe: casual (Trent coat, black jeans/trousers, white blouse, black shoes) 

Make-up: minimal and simple

Props:  newspaper or phone

Special effects: none

Potential problems and how you’re going to overcome them: a potential problem we could face is chantelle being unable to make the shoot. To overcome this we would film another scene that doesn't require chantelle’s presence so that we have footage. Another potential problem is the weather, if it rains for example we wont be able to film material, as ‘Alicia’ has to sit down in the scene. To overcome this we would check the weather in advance and make sure we plan according to the weather.

Animatic and Feedback

As part of the research and planning for the music video task we had to create an animatic which shows all the scenes within the music video and how they will look in the shot. We showed the animatic to the rest of the class and received feedback. Positive feedback and criticisms to help us improve in areas wheres improvement is needed.

WWW

• We were told that the animatic was clear and the story line was clear throughout which was a great comment for us as this is a major part of music videos in our genre. 
• Also the shots used were also clear and the meanings behind the reasons we chose the specific shots came through in the animatic.

EBI

• There wasn't a varied amount of shots so this limited the shot variety 
• In the animatic some of the scenes were unclear so it wasn't recognizable what was going on

We take on board all the comments given on the animatic and incorporate the ideas into our own to create a good music video.
