Organising and Planning

Today I have done a list of things that I needed to do. As I have listed them  in order on table below to make sure I have done every step of the task I have been asked to do.

Inspiration

Today while I was in class I watched 1 or 2 of videos from preceding years and one of the ideas I liked was from one video where they filmed a rise flowering. This means that I wanted to do the idea that I have seen on the music video that I have watch in the class. Also I watched a lot of videos on YouTube that some student that from preceding year put it on YouTube. So seen that I wanted to do with sadness; one of the videos I found was of emotional for the film Anything but not here.

Although I Have Looked at different music videos which help me to get an idea about how I am going to do my own music videos about the camera shot's that i will use also the sound effect and the anamation style.

Music Video Conventions Depending on Genre

During in the lesson i have done a research about the different music video convenstions and the genre of music as i have make my point view in blow.

Pop: videos are more often than not extremely positive, intense and high-speed swiftness which makes them attractive to a youthful audience. This means that if the lyrics and the rhythm of the music are sadder the entire tenor of the video will be brought downwards but it will still be fairly intense and the artist would almost certainly be in a more urbane outfit than if the video is more optimistic.

Ø      Intense and colourful locations and illumination.

Ø      The camera pans and zooms to catch the movement and feeling of the artist.

Ø      Close ups of the artist are used to show the happy feelings.

Ø      Artist or band performs in some way usually by actually lip syncing the words of the song.

Ø      Although there is routinely a dance series which exemplifies some of the lines.

Ø      There are not more often than not any tools currents not many pop or rock bands in fact play their own tools.

Ø      There are often many costume changes throughout the video.

Rock: the illumination and the location are frequently extremely dark charitable the music video a strange and on edge tenor.

Ø      The bands are regularly performs in their music video. Although their concerts are frequently extremely dark and the artists are regularly dressed in black, with manifold and dark make up on their faces adding to the stereotypical Rock/Metal look.

Ø      Sometimes there is a narrative which will reproduce the dark sad tenor of the music and the lyrics.

Ø      There is a range of close ups that also shows the main artist singing and other band mates the stage as well as wide shots of the entire band.

Ø       They also use Special effects those used sometimes.

Ø      The main thing that use their videos is that the editing which is the  speedy rated the shiny the difficult and the noisy and quick music

R&B: there are frequently a mixture of narrative and concerts and the entire band carry outs and previous times just the major singer. This means that the R&B music videos do have a narrative they are a lot quite representative and do not factually go after the words.

Ø      There is a range of close ups to show the major artist singing and other band mates performing as well as wide shots of the whole band.

Ø      The colour that used in the video changes this means that it depending on the words of the song and the rhythm of the music it can be intense, dark and sometimes black and white.

Ø      Those are used a special effects.

Ø      They also used a editing usually fairly fast paced depending on the tune.

Ø      There is band wears informal clothes.

Hip Hop: there are for no reason actually a sturdy storyline in Hip Hop videos this means that it is more about a huge social gathering with attractive women in insufficient outfits and lots of high-priced things such as devices. Although the colours that used in the videos are frequently quite intense this regularly highlighting all of the high-priced things like jewellery and brand named clothing.

Ø      As the location is regularly a social gathering there are often lots of people dancing and regularly current.

Ø      They also use a close ups which shows the artists possessions like high-priced jewellery and also to show their singing the lyrics.

Ø      There are mostly wide and long shots are also used so that we can see a lot of expensive things.

Planning

Once I had come to make a decision on some of my filming locations I needed to Production schedule revised a filming schedule which en suite around my entire book notes. However I sat as one and decided on when I could film each scene, also who would need to be present for each shot. I also decided to film over the  weekends. but acually i haven't decided when the date will be but im sure it will be from the 13th April 2011 to the 22th April  2011.

I then go on to diagram an editing schedule. As I agreed to edit the film in my spare time and I had to have the editing finished by the end of the 2010 so that I could focus on the other products, the digi-pack and the cover magazine also the website. For the 2 other products that I needed to produce, I decided to split a time for my self to finish creating my work on the digi-pack and the cover.

Although I made sure that I had a photographer in each pair person who is in my music video as the digital image stage management. Planning for this involved working individual as my research on my blogs and then coming up with an idea for the digi-pack which fitted the individual’s image and genre. I asked my friends to produce a series of images that I could be used on the digi-pack boards; as well I then asked them to email these to me so that I could edit these in Photoshop and bring together the digi-pack. Also I was in charge of the cover magazine to total an alike procedure.      

Brief

The A2 Media project I am required to complete one of the following three briefs:

 A) Create a promotion package for the release of an album, including a music promo video, together with two of the following options:
- a homepage on a website for the band;
- a cover for the release as part of the digi-pak (CD/DVD package);
- an advertisement for a magazine of the digi-pak (CD/DVD package).

B) Create a promotion package for a new film, including a teaser trailer, with two of the following options:
- a website homepage for the film;
- a film magazine front cover, featuring the film;
- a poster promoting the film.

C) Create the first level of a new computer game, together with two of the following options:
- a cover for the game's package;
- a magazine advertisement for the game ;
- a radio advertisement for the game.

I have decided that I would complete brief (A) ... a promotion package for the release of an album. Because I have choose that to create a website homepage for my music video, and an front cover for the release of the digi-pak, certain with my website making skills, and my creative skills of making a cover magazine as I have done my As level Media last year and creating the website which I have done it my As level ICT last year which I have created 2 different websites. So I am more familiar most of the task I have been asked to do.

I have also made sure that the best way to move towards the task I have been asked to do was to have as much as a participation in the original flank, as well as the technological sensible flank, adding my own thoughts and skills to each process during the in general making. My first task is to do as much research into the music video industry, so I have looked different ideas, styles and genres, which allowing me to found what type of music video I would like to produce. By thoroughly researching and searching the ideas of music videos and the websites also the covers of digi-packs, as all this will allow me to produce products relation to nowadays the public.

Location

For my music video I have considered many different possibilities and settings in locations. Getting the right location is very important because it will allow the video and the song to connect. Music videos are also used to market the artists and increase the whole general sales. However music videos are also used to connect with the audience. They are also used to get the audience close and more connected with more fans.

A location can be considered in many different ways and aspects. Social if is it the right location for the video this location will help improve the children music target market. The location of the music video shoot is going to be set at inside of college, since I can a up to date interior, which is relevant for the mise-en-scene.

This is a photo is of the curator of the college  and the  setting would be very good because it would allow the directors to control and minutiae all the environmental setting s like the weather light and even the sound.

cover Magazine

My cover magazine characteristic in lucky magazine, because this magazine promotes bands of the same genre as "Future History." However the following genres include; Pop Rock, etc. NME is also a well known music magazine; therefore it would make sense for my magazine advert to appear in here.

This is my final version of my magazine cover. I decided to use the pose of “sweet rush “smiling on the camera because it connotes the idea of them being tired from being on the excursion although, in the bottom corner I have used the "Let it go records" again with the black symbol to promote the record label, since the idea of a cover magazine is middle around promoting the artist alongside the record company.

Whereas the front cover that I have design before was different than the original one because the grey background stands out more as it contrasts against the black mise en scene. Furthermore, I decided on using this photo of mine opposite to the one of them squatting because this looks more professional; with as I was standing like this and also I was posture is striking as it takes up a majority of the front cover. My facial expression also looks lost conveying the theme of my song "Anything But Ordinary", alongside of the grey and black background love and passion which is suggestive of my genres character red text attract to the teenagers.

I also decided to use a red outline alongside the lettering of "Future History" to continue the running theme of red, and then I have decided to use a boarder as it looked good on it. Although I have decided to not have the building in detail as the mise en scene, because the plain black makes the feature of the grey background and my image stand out more strongly.
