Dilemma

Dilemma!
We had a dilemma during the Christmas holidays because the artist we are doing, Jessie J, had just released the music video for the song we are doing. However because her video is a performance where she is singing in from of a green screen we discussed that we should continue on to do the song because our video is more along the lines of a story as well as performance.



We looked at the video and saw that some of the dance moves were really nice so thought we'd use them but change them around and add more dances to them.

Diary Entry

During class we were told that we had to do a recky and a risk assessment which are photos of our locations along with risk hazards that might occur during filiming. We had to do these because it helps to analyse the pros and cons of the locations as well as solving the problems so that when it comes to filming we are prepared and have notified everyone of what the risks are.

Dilemma!
We forgot to talk to a bus company to hire out a bus for 1 or 2 hours so that we can film the opening of our music video so we looked up some places on the internet and found a website where you can hire out old fashioned buses so we called them up in lesson. I gave all the details of when we wanetd to hire the bus and the the man gave us a quote of £378 which was way out of our budget seeing as we are filming for our music video and we dont have money to spend.

Our office teachers over heard our conversation and asked us what we needed a bus for whichwe explained and they said they can help us out as Harris Southnorwood has contact with Mayday bus company near Vally Park, Purley which they hire out bus for trips. They said they can organise it for us and that the inside of the coatches look like the inside of the red London buses which they were suuccessful in by getting us a slot on Friday 13th January at 1:30, which was when all our crew finished 6th form and also they many that owns the place hired the coatch out to us for free which was a great relief as we didnt have to spend any money. Also on top of that the man said he will also pcik us up and drop us back with his mini bus.

However, we had a big problem as a few people including my parnet had an exam at 1:15 on that Friday so I had to go speak to the office teachers the next day to tell them the bad news and hopefully they could arrange another filming day which they did for Friday 20th of January.

Dance routines

We knew that when we were going to film on the bus we needed a dance routine which is also safe as inside a but there is a limit amount of space.

Diary Entry

In class recently I've analysed some of the camera shots and angles that I've considered using in my music video. The types of shots that stand out more are mostly medium and close up shots as they show the singer singing as well as her facial expression.

I've also looked ta the lyrics of the song and analysed the words that are used, looking at the meaning and how we can use some of the words and create a story from it.

Shot List

These are the main shots that we have considered to use in out music video, magazine and digi pak.


MEDIUM SHOT - is above the waist line and shows mostly facial expression and top half of the body language when interacting with others. This is also known as a social shot.


LONG SHOT - shows mostly landscape but gives the viewer a more specific idea of setting. A long shot may show the viewers the building where the action will take place.


CLOSE UP - this enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is also known as a personal shot.


EXTREME  CLOSE UP - contains one part of a character's face or object. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer.
