Our practise task - planning (4)

Image
Potential settings Cromer beach   Keswick Mill/Eaton marshes   Earlham Park   UEA woods Apart from the UEA woods all of the above locations have water which is another important aspect of the nursery rhyme which I wanted to incorporate into the music video. In the initial nursery rhyme ' Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water' because of this line I felt that it was important to include water in the music video as it was essentially the cause of Jack hurting his head in the first place. I plan to use most of these locations in the music video to help build up more of a story for the video and apart from Cromer most of them are close to where i live so it'll be easy to access them and film in the locations. Potential cast and characters  Jack - This will be the main character for the video and will also be the character that bumps their head which causes them to hallucinate memories from the past. To relate this vide...

Matt Pummell - POLARIZE  Good/bad - I thought that this music video was very creative and I liked how it transitioned from being in colour to being in black and white. I also felt that there was a good balance of lip syncing and narrative to the video which altogether fitted well. I felt that the many different editing techniques and camera shots used also worked well and helped to give a different visual experience to the viewer. Location - In this video there were quite a number of locations used to help portray the narrative. These included the street, a house, the woods, a field, a shop, a skate park and a tennis court. All these different locations helped to add to the narrative of the music video while not being too bold as to draw attention away from the 'singer'. Costume and props - Casual clothes are predominantly worn in this video like jumpers, jeans and coats. One of the main elements of the costume though is the hat which the 'singer' wears whic...

Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill  Good/Bad - I really liked this music video. It used both a liner narrative and lip syncing from the singer which I thought was very effective in the video as there was a nice balance of both. I especially liked how it would switch between showing Ed Sheeran as a teenager who was growing up and trying new things for the first time with his mates to him being all grown up and heading to see his old friends again. Overall I thought the music video was very creative as it combined both the past and the present of the singer’s life into the video and I thought that the video itself went well with the song. Location - The video was shot in Suffolk and many different locations were used around their to create the video. Boyton marshes, Felixstowe, Mildenhall stadium and Framlingham Castle were just a few of the locations used in the video as well smaller places like parks and pubs in Suffolk. The use of having all these different places hel...

Practise task explained (1)

Me and Rosie were randomly given a question and a nursery rhyme which we could use as a stimulus to create our music video. The question we were given was Should I get a tattoo? and the nursery rhyme we were given was Jack and Jill . These were the two points that we could use to help create a music video, and we could choose to incorporate either both or one into our video. Our initial ideas for this task is to use the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill as a stimulus for our music video as there seems to be more directions we could go with this than with the question Should I get a tattoo ?  Jack and Jill lyrics   J ack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper He went to bed and bound his head With vinegar and brown paper. After looking up the complete lyrics for the nursery rhyme i decided to do some research into the meaning be...
