Dear Diary

Despite continuign partially with editting my music video, once again this has slowed down. I have my A2 exams beginning in early january, and have decided to prioritise them, instead of rushing my music video and as a result making it a much worse product. I still plan to spend a bit of time working on my media products however, and hope to begin work on my music video again soon.

Music Video Structure

Dear Diary

I have not had much time to work on my media coursework so far, with alot of my time being spent busily over the christmas period. I am currently only around 30 seconds into editting, and I hope to improve this soon.

Model Release Form 2

I used two models in the production of my music video. I got each of them to sign a model release form confirming that they will allow me to film them.

Dear Diary

My christmas break has just begun and I have been working on getting started with my music video. I have filmed the majority of my footage and am ready to begin editting. I plan to continue this process over the holidays and hope to have my first draft done  by the end of january.

Artist Styling/Costume Planning

For my music video, there is no set dress code for my models to abide by, however there is a certain theme that I wanted each of them to follow.

For my male character, due to the narrative nature of my music video, with him being a conventional 'uncaring' male, I want him to have quite a rough and equally uncaring look. I will request that my model wears a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms while in his house, switching to a pair of rough jeans when he goes out to meet the female character. I will do this because this will represent the attitude I want the audience to have towards the male character. This also represents the opposites theme that I will include throughout  my music videos production, with the completely differing attitudes of my two characters.

For my female character, I plan to have a completely different attitude towards the meeting, and as a result, her dress code will be more important to her. My selection of using quick cuts between the male character and the female character as she tries on different outfits will mean I will need quite a large selection of outfits for her to wear. I will leave this up to my female performer however, as it isn't very important what she wears as long as it's more formal and highlights her want to look nice when she goes to meet the male character.

I will complete another post once I have completed shooting my music video to highlight the dress code that we finalised on.

Music Video Plan

I decided to make a plan for my music  video prior to completing the storyboard, as I wanted to make my storyboard as accurate as possible. This document includes all the timings of what I plan to have happen in my music video and also lays out the main theme of the piece. It also includes a written form of my storyboard, in the sense of it showing what I will put on each square of my storyboard.
