PICTURES OF US USING PLANNING DOCUMENTS TO FILM







These are the pictures that were taken in mid process of me and my team using our planning documents. Helping us create our initial idea which we drew on the storyboards to a reality. As we had the planning documents it made the process of filming so much easier as we knew what we were  filming when and the type of shots we had to use

FEEDBACK FROM CLIENT


My client wants me to add these important improvements to make my music video perfect:

-  Put the bits of MC Moses and Jonah clowning around and dancing towards the end so people take   the music video seriously.

- The pace and quickness of the editing must be getting faster throughout the song as the beat and pace quickens

- Edit all the green screen shots, be consistent and creative make sure the colour's and animations are not random and fit into the video and song.

-  Use the warp stabilizer effect on the all the shots that are shaking and are not stable for example the first shots of MC Moses and Jonah getting out of bed.

-  Have a variety of different shots in the music video not only the cutting of the green-screen to green-screen shots

I will use this feedback to make my music video perfect and meeting all the requirements of my client.

ROUGH EDIT



We have started creating our rough edit, this is rough as we have not managed to film everything yet and still need to film a few shots before we finally have all of our footage. So far our rough edit is looking good, it is looking both creative and eye-catching. The rough edit is a good time for us to mess around with our footage and to try new things to see what does and what doesn't look good. I feel that editing as a pair has been very beneficial for both me and my partner, the reasons being are that we both have creative ideas, therefore, we can share those ideas with each other and put our ideas together to create even better ones. by putting our ideas together and sharing them we can create a really creative and exciting piece. Another reason being that, we can both look at things differently, and we can both spot mistakes or areas of improvement which maybe the other wouldn't see if they were to be working by themselves. When we started editing, we realised that we didn't have many different shot types, therefore, we had to go and start filming some more footage where we used different shot types and camera angles.

FILMING MY RUSHES


Filming my rushers so far has been excellent but at the same time very challenging and pushing my ability's to the max. For example, getting the lights in the perfect positions so there is no shadows behind the artists as this will ruin the green-screen effect when edited and changed. Also getting the lip singing in sync and perfect with the song, remembering the actual lyrics, booking equipment, the set, people to be in our music video. 

There were many problems we have had to overcome so far in the making of our music video but all in all it has been very rewarding seeing what we have done so far and is exciting to see what we are going to have in the future

EDITIED VOX POP FILM



This is my Vox pop me and and my partner Daniel created about our target audience and what there interests are so we can make the best possible advert we can.

Wednesday, 8 October 2014

SUMMARY OF MARKET RESEARCH

Advertisement Placement

After conducting lots of research on advert placement I discovered that the best channel to broadcast my advert is Channel 4. As the people who fit into my target audience are always watching Channel 4. 8.9million people view this channel a month 52% who are young people.


Competitor Analysis

Through the research I have done I discovered what best attracts my target audience through looking at many websites and picking their best bits and there not so good bits. I would use lots of bright colours and pictures cartoons epically as this attracts the eyes and is interesting. I would make navigating around my website simple and easy to use so it is not confusing. Also I will add ways of connecting with social media as my target audience are very into this. I want to add an interactive section to my website for example games as my target audience would enticed by this.


Existing products

By watching and analyzing other anti-bullying / Bullying Awareness adverts I have found out that my advert needs to be very factual and full of information on what to do and how to stop it and where to go if it’s happening to you and who to contact extra. Also I want my advert to be a bit humorous like one of the adverts I analyses I think it would go down really well with my target audience and it would attract them to watch it and show there other mates which would raise our profile as well.

PROPOSAL
Prepared by
Anthony Nazz – Nathan west






I am going to be composing an exciting, energetic and fun music video for the song ‘Touch’ by the artist Shift k3y. The music video should be approximately 3 minuets this time could very well vary due to the amount of footage we will shoot. The purpose of making this video is to promote the artist also it is a visual representation of the song. The target audience for video we will be making is boys\girls aged between 12-25. I will be targeting these people by making the video energetic, fun and exciting by cutting shots very quickly, using lots of different bright colours and having lots of things happening. The concept of the music video is getting ready to go out and having a really good time and then going home and spending time with someone special. We intend to represent the artist to come across very cool and stylish and the type of person you want to hang around with. I will be filming the music video on location which is my house. We will transform the downstairs of my house into a nightclub and the upstairs will be a normal house so we can get ready. There will be many props that we will be using such as our costumes of a smart casual nature, the disco ball, music player, cups, drinks these are only a few items we will be using. The people who will be in my music video is the too artist which will me and Nathan also we have 5-6 random people in the make shift nightclub. There will also be two special girls who the boys will fall in love with. The technology I will be using is green screen, camera and music systems this will cost nothing as I shall borrow it from the school

Orginal vs Final (IDENT)


My final ident is mostly the exactly same as my original planning with the first shot is still being the close up of me squashing the ball together in my hands preparing it to be thrown. Also shots 2-5 are still me about to throw the ball through air, also the ball still hits the wall and then makes 'The Grid' logo. However I did make a changes to the section where the ball is traveling through air, I made it more humors and fictional through using green screen so it looks like the ball is traveling in the air also adding fire on the back of the ball so it makes the ball look like its traveling at a high speed through the air. I thought this would entice my target audience more than filming a ball fly through the air as that is very dull and boring. It also gives my channel a humors identity.
