Planning - Rehearsal Footage (35)

I felt that the rehearsals for the music video went very well and afterwards the cast seemed to understand more about what I wanted from them for certain scenes and how I wanted them to portray certain emotions at certain points. The rehearsals gave my cast the chance to understand how I wanted them to portray the characters and also how they should act together. Because my video is meant to be very emotional, the atmosphere of the video depends on how well my cast can portray a close father and daughter relationship and how devastating it is when the father finds out his daughter is dead.

By rehearsing the scene at Thetford forest I was able to find the most aesthetic and scenic routes to film my cast for the music video. It also helped my cast to understand what understand where I would be filming and where I wanted them to do certain things (walking, building a den and sward fighting with sticks)

At the field the aim of the rehearsal footage was mainly to see how the dogs would react with the camera as well as with the cast who they haven't met before. During the filming we found that the dogs were very well behaved and seemed to get along okay both with the camera and the cast. Rehearsing this scene really help the cast to understand what I wanted them to do with the dogs and how to control them best during the filming. It has also made me realise that on the day of filming I should probably bring more treats and a tennis ball so we can easily reward the dogs for good behaviour and keep them out of trouble and focused on what I want them to do

Audience Research (23)

What are you trying to find out in your research? In my research I am trying to discover many things which will help me in developing my A2 coursework. The main thing I am trying to discover is whether people still consume music videos and what the age range is of people who consume them. I am also trying to discover what other media products people consume and if they think that my idea for a music video is a good one or if i should change elements of it.  When conducting my research I went out into Wymondham town to ask people the questions as apposed to just asking people in the sixth-from. There are many strengths to doing this, the main being that it gives me more reliable data. In the sixth-form there are only students and teacher so just asking them my research questions limits the demographic response of my data to just students and teachers. By going out and conducting my research in Wymondham town it gives me a wider range of different people and thus widens my demo...

Practise task explained (1)

Image
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...

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks? In my personal opinion I feel that the combination between my video and ancillary tasks are very effective. Within all three of the products I incorporated the same photographs so that the synergy between the products were clear. One of the main elements of my music video was the father looking back at the good memories with his daughter through photographs which were hanging up in her room. Because of how important the photos were in the video I felt that it was vital to incorporate them into the ancillary tasks as well. Typically within solo music videos the focus is on the artist and this is then incorporated onto the cover of the digipack and album release poster too. However, due to me challenging this typical convention I had to use a different theme to link all my products together to create synergy, which is where the link between the photographs came in. When first looking at the title of my alb...
