Filming of the lead singer

So far we have only filmed the narrative side of the video. After looking back at the footage we took the other day at Woolwich of our band, we have decided that we need more footage of the lead boy singing on his own. By doing this we will create a good balance between the narrative of the video and the band/lead singer. The location of which we would film in. Luke wanted to film it on a black background in the studio however me and Gemma felt filming it outside would be better as it fits the mise-en-scene of the video appropriately. We all decided that filming Jamie singing by himself would be a great idea, this shows isolation which is a key emotion we are trying to portray as a conventional emotion.

Ancillary photography (location)

While Luke and I filmed the band shots in the industrial estate, Gemma took some images to use when creating our ancillary tasks. We tried to use different angles are surrounds so that the photograph is varied and we have more to work with. I have posted some of the images below:

Filming the band shots

On Sunday (22/1/12) we filmed the band shots for our music video. The location we picked was an industrial estate in Woolwich. We thought the location was suitable because it fits with the urban, isolated and abandoned theme. Another reason we chose the estate was because of the varied shots we could get from it, for example there were a few flights of stairs near so we used them for high angled shots. We were planning on using the dolly while filming but sadly couldn't because the ground wasn't flat enough, however we came up with another way which i filmed  which was me filmingh the band as Gemma's dad drove the car. We took shots of the band as a group but also separate shots of the members playing their instruments, Jamie (main male) also sang for some parts. Below are some images of what happened.

Ancillary task (magazine advert & lanyard drafts)

For my ancillary tasks i am creating a website in Adobe Dreamweaver. As well as Dreamweaver i am using Photoshop to create a music magazine advert and a lanyard. I have done three designs for each. The advert and lanyard drafts are below:

Ancillary task (website drafts)

I have decided to create four pages in Adobe Dreamweaver for my website. In total i have done three drafts each having a slightly different layout.

Storyboard

 This is the storyboard my group and i have been following when filming. By having a storyboard it keeps us organised, we also know exactly what we are filming so that we don't wait time. Of course if we get to the location and some has an idea, we film the shots on the storyboard then have a 'freestyle' section where recording other intresting shots that we think may look good. For example when filming the band shots at location there were stairs so we used them and got some high angled shots.
