Weather for filming

The weather won't be too bad when filming our forest scene with our one actor because the weather will help the lighting and it will make the scene look intense which is what we want to achieve. The temperature isn't too cold which will help with our filming because the effects of the weather will not distract us from getting the best quality out of the camera's.

Test footage

By going out and practise filming we have learnt how to make affective footage by timing the movement of the actor with beat of the song. We have also learnt how different camera angles should follow each other tom make a music video look for interesting

Creating a brand

Bastille's logo is quite unique because it's there's only a triangle and the name of the band underneath the shape. The triangle has different meanings but it's most well known is the three corners which is the christian faith, the holy trinity-father, son and holy ghost. Bastille's songs have a lot of different meanings but most of their songs are about death, relationships and religion. I believe that the logo for the band is black because most of their songs such as "Send them off" or "Pompei" have a dark kind of style which one songs narrative is being taking over by demons and the other is about someone who is trapped.






I chose the idea of hands praying to be part of my logo because some of the song meanings from Bastille are about religion of someones beliefs. i like the use of both hands used in prayer because it creates a powerful message and it also, creates some intensity because a prayer is used by billions of people that if it was used as a logo it would appeal to some people.

The logo below is from a tropical house DJ named KYGO. This logo is considered a hipster type of logo because of the 'X' which looks like various graphic elements (icons, initials, dates, heraldic symbols) that are placed around “X” sign. i am thinking about sampling parts of a hipster logo into to my own logo because because it's trendy and quite modern so it can appeal to a young audience. 

Below is a rough example of what my logo will look like but still needs improvements. What needs improvements on my logo is colour as it is quite dull and boring however, i will be changing the colour of the triangle to a cloud that will represent the artists personality. Another improvement will be including text in the triangle, possibly have one letter in each corner that will represent the name of the artist but i have not chosen one so far.

The name of my artist is called Midnight Preacher. I have chosen this name because it's a unique pairing of words and it works well with my logo because it kind f has a relatable religious feeling to it  because my logo includes two hands in a prayer.

Shot list

From this shot list our group can can now follow the steps to get some successful footage which the shot list will allow us to film correctly.

Locations and actor planning

We will have two actors in our music video, Jamie Simms, and Erin wilson. These two actors will be demonstrating the good and bad points of a dysfunctional relationship. For our music video we will include several locations fro many different scenes. One of the locations that we are having our music video set in is the drama studio at castle sixth form. The drama studio will include a lot of space where we can use the music video narrative to it's full advantage. The drama studio will be useful to use in our video because some parts in the music video will include some dance choreography which space is required and the setting will make the performance of the dance more realistic. We still need permission for the drama studio.








James's house will be used for many scenes for when we film the close relationship of the two characters in the music video. This part of the narrative will have both characters using there spare to hang out with each other and we chose this location because having both character looking like they live together make the video more realistic. The location is also useful because it is not set near the castle sixth form which makes the video quite dull and boring because local places are quite original. For this location we have been granted permission to use the house.





A forrest by the Mundy's is another location where we will be filming to create more drama in the narrative because the character will be lost and scared making the music video more intense throughout the narrative. The forrest location is also a useful location because it is a place where the character will be alone and the narrative is about the male character trying to find his ex girlfriend but he is lost and he doesn't know how to find her.














Learning comment: From this task we have now decided what locations we are going to use in our music video. We are going to use three locations for our final idea. we decided on the locations on what suits best for the narrative.

Storyboard

Learning comment:From creating this storyboard me and my group can now organise and plan our footage which we will now know what to do for each shot. We have also learnt that it's important to plan each shot in time with the music video
