Recce Shots

This photograph shows the where the person would stand when acting in the music video with a blank screen behind her.

This is the tv screen which shows the background which has been put behind the person in the music video and it helps that it is facing the person in the video so they can see the position they are in when filming.

These 3 photographs are pictures of the camera used which helps get different shots. It allows you to zoom in and out and move it around.

These are the computers and buttons used to film and edit the backgrounds that will be used. We decided to test it out with this sunset background which is a video playing on loop. This means it would play through the whole song.

Recce Shots 2

This photo shows the screens for the computer which controls the green screen, it also shows how the girl is centred on the screen and the background for this session which we tried.

This is a side view from the left side of the green screen showing how the lighting is very bright and also showing that there is a screen for the actor to see how she is doing.

This photo is from next to the camera to show the different things attached to the camera such as a screen which can be used to show the lyrics to the song.

We decided to film some test footage in the green screen studio. These photographs show the background we tested with when filming.

Digipak Experimentation

My digipack tutorial was light trails and this was effective and relavent to my genre of pop. I found that this effect in photoshop could be used in our final product as this very much fits in with the genre of pop because it had a lot of colour. Through using this technique i have learnt to use the gradient tool and this creates light trails effectively and I learnt to manipulate the color of the light trails. I have also learnt how to use the different layers and how i can make one layer more prominent simply by moving it up the layers to a lower number. 

Green Screen Test Footage

This is the test footage we have taken using the green screen. We decided to use this to experiment and see if it would work with a background that we liked. The restaurant we are filming in is mostly brown colours so we decided to use a brown colour background as it wont look too different and odd in the video. The test footage looks ok but we decided that if we are going to use the green screen in our final video then we will change the background to something different to the one we used on here.

Reply From Krimo

 

Email to Krimo

This was the first email we sent to the owner of the restaurant we wanted to film in. Krimo owns several restaurants in the Hartlepool area and I was aware we may not be aloud to film here because it may be too busy so in the email I tried to sound as formal and polite as I could and get the point across that this was important and i was necessary to get it filmed as quickly as possible.

Inspirational Videos

This was one of our inspirational music videos, this was because this video




These are the music videos we have got inspiration from to create ours. Taylor Swift's tells a story between a boy and a girl which is what ours is going to do. The Saturdays' is filmed in a restaurant so this has gave us some ideas of different shots to use. Katy Perry's Part Of Me tells a story and Jessie J's has helped us think of ideas with the green screen with what to put in the backgrounds.

Audience Profile

The target audience for our song 'If You Can Afford Me' by Katy Perry would be teenagers of both genders. This is because it is a very upbeat song by a popular artist that would be typically aimed at teenagers.

This is Beth, who as you can see is a Katy Perry fan so our music video would definitely be aimed towards her. She is a 17 year old student who listens to mainly pop music. Whilst during college work and revising for exams Beth would have music on in the background. Her favourite pop artist is Katy Perry and she owns every album of hers. When she was at Katy Perry's concert she got chosen to go on stage and dance with Katy as shown on the photograph above.

On a typical day Beth would be seen wearing a dress, shorts, jeans etc. In the first photograph shown on this page she is shown wearing a blouse.

Record Label

This is our record label we created. We decided to call it Bright Star Records 

and the bright shooting star which is going through the name links in with it.

This was created on Photoshop in which we used light trails which fit it nicely

with the name of our label. Light trails are made by changing the gradient.

Audience Research Results

Initial Ideas

This was our initial ideas note board. We used the online program Lino which was a bit complicated to use at first but when a classmate explained it turned out to be very simple to use. The use of bright colours tied in with our genre of pop music and fit in well with the blog. The way the notes are spaced out so we can read them all without problems made the program a very good choice, it was also a different thing to use rather than just referring back to a simple word document.

Audience Research Questions

Audience research questionnaire from alice12345

This is our audience research questions, at first we attempted to use an online survey maker but in the end there were too many complications and we switched to a word document. This turned out to be the better option as I found this much easier to analyse. Also the people who answered the questionnaire found it easy to complete and navigate.
