shot list

Below is the type of shots and transitions we can include in our music video:

Close - up shot - this will show the audience the emotions of the character(s) and allows the audience to try and think how they think and feel in that situation they can try and understand thier emotions.

Wide angle shot - allows the audience to see the location of the scene and can gain an idea of the story line and an understanding of what is going on.

Over the shoulder shot - so the audience can see what the character is looking at and can see it from their perspective.

Zoom out and in - this can help to show something important especially when zooming in on something as it is something in particular that is being shown therefore important and the audience can clearly see this.

Cut from shot to shot - this is another transition that we can use especially if the pace of the song becomes quicker the shots can easily be changed from one to another using cut.

Panning - this allows the audience to seem as if they are actually there witnessing what is happening in a chosen scene helping them understand the storyline.

Fade in and out - this usually is a good transition to use between shots that are very simialar to each other or to bring in the first shot/scene at the beginning or fade the last scene out to black at the ending of the music video.

From the music videos that I have analysed all of them have included some of the shots and transitions above which made them effective and mainly helped the audience to understand the story and emotions of characters.

locations

Graveyard scene where the female character sits next to a grave. This is used to show the audience quite easily that the reason the lead character is crying is that her parent is dead.

Bedroom scene where the female is looking through photographs of her mother and herself showing that she is thinking of her memories that she has. Thus this allows the video to flow as it tells the audience that the next scenes within the clip are memories.

The kitchen scene where a memory is shown between the mother and the daughter thus showing how ill she was yet how happy they were.

The living room scene where another memory is shown yet this time the mother is shown to be even more ill but putting on a brave face for the daughter. It is also used to have the main character and her mother singing along with the lyrics.

The park scene where the female drops the letter from the book and lets it fall to the floor allowing the viewers to see the letter burn. This shows who died as the letter is signed by the mother thus letting the audience know exactly what happened along with the graveyard scene.

schedule

This is our filming timing for each individual scene of our characters.

Wednesday 20th October - filming small snippets of Sam and Danii. (This is the main scenes needed for our music)

Edit -

Due to our actresses we have agreed to film all our video next monday 25th october this will gives a whole day to film all the footage and reduce the risk of having our characters in different outfits and different hair styles.

Notes for the planning of our music video!


Artist- Carly Jones
Age- 15
Occupation- Student at Reepham high school

First I looked at “Empire state of mind” by Alicia Keys this influenced us as the music and lyrics are similar to thee ones in which Carly writes. When we first came across Carly we found her on www.woho.net.com , we listened to the songs she sung however they we all traditional songs from well known stars around the country E.G. Florence and the machine – Howl. We could not use this song as we were asked to find an artist who has written there own music and lyrics. Me and my group then went and spoke to her and asked her if she writes her own music and with luck on our side she said she did. When I first heard her music it reminded me of Alicia Keys Empire state of mind, just because of the tune and some of the lyrics. We were extremely happy when Carly agreed to sing for us as we can do a photo shoot with her and make our music video performance based.



Initial Ideas

• From hearing her style of music I really have a image in my head of her playing on a dark stage with nothing else around her bar a piano and her.
• Dress code – Black dress, very formal. The aim is to get her looking very professional.
• We have spoken to a make-up artist about doing her make up and we have also spoken to a hair stylist to do her hair for us. They have both agreed and are willing to help us through our music video.
• The location we have looked at is in the high school with the piano however the piano is NOT on the stage so we are using the recording music room with a long board placed around the room with a black sheet with small lights coming through which makes the scene looks more sophisticated and will make the scene more calm and will make Carly stand out .
• However this may change depending on how Carly feels as we want her to feel as comfortable as possible. E.G. She may not want to sing live she may want to lip sync.
• Another problem is we don’t want our video to be boring so we after hearing her song and analyzing the lyrics we will then decide whether we need more of a narrative based than performance.
