on wednesday the 19th November we filmed ryan and alex, this went really well as we knew how we was going to set them out as we tried it with kirsty, so we knew what we was aiming for. we then filmed Bobbi and James,once again we shot this with good time! and it went well. last of all we had to film myself and Rhea. now we have all our filming done for our first section it is now time to start editing and putting it altogether! this will allow us to see whos going to be in the video by using the individuals being in different boxes looking at each other.

who's who?

here is pictures of who is going to be styled in our music video!




Ryan and Rhea




myself and Alex




Bobbi-jane and James

how its all done!!





To make our film that it can be we are using the final cut program this is to ensure that our editing is done with high quaulity this allows us to edit our complex filming.! Final Cut Express is a non-linear video editing application created by Apple Inc. It is the consumer version of Final Cut Pro and is designed for advanced editing of digital video as well as high-definition video, which is used by many amateur and professional videographers

Storyboard and animatic

wednesday 17th November!

our group got together to plan our scenes to do this we made a story board, which will help us plan our music video, this will make it easy to follow, as it tells us what camera shots we are going to us,music, editing, lighting .
once we done our storyboard we made out animatic.
Our animatic is created from each picture off our storyboard, once we drew the pictures we took a picture of each shot then placed it all together so it comes to one to make a story!

who to use?

wednesday!!
me Bobbi and Shantelle got together and planned our first part of the video as we need couples we needed to sort out who we are going to be using so before we even start filming we are going to have to ask about who wants to be in our video. we have asked a few people so far and these include Kirsty, Rhea, Ryan. Jack, Nicole.

survey monkey!

i have done a survey monkey so i can then see what people like in music videos what music they like this will then help gain more views for ours!

Test Runs!!!

on Wednesday Shantelle and Bobbi filmed a few shots of Kirsty looking in different directions, as we are planing to use this on the start of our music video but using 3 groups of 4.
then on Thursday myself and Shantelle started to edit the clips to see if our ideas would work, whilst sorting it all out we found out that we needed to make our footage longer with each clip as it will do more justice with the video!
editing this clip was the first time we used final cut so we had to start getting use to it at first it started out hard and got in a muddle but soon to find out it is quite easy!!!

Here is a video off our first attempt!!

the xx: islands




An absolutely gorgeous video So many intricacies and details that just add... something else, something indescribable.

My take on the video is everyone is living in conformity, creating a synchronized beautiful dance. Slowly everyone starts to think for themselves, realizing they don't love the person they're with, they don't have to play by the rules and eventually just drop out. The place sets on fire, creating chaos. WIthout conformity, there is chaos.

word-all!!!

this is our Word-all, this example shows the lyrics in the song, and which is most used in the song, so whatever word is biggest is the most used!



Target audience!!

we asked forty people questions about what kind of musicthey like and how they access music. These are our findings .

Are you male or female?





How do you view music?

ideas!

here is a few examples of things we might use in our music video

we may use this sort of shot as we are going to be using a lot of different people so maybe at the end of the video we could use this, to show who was in the music video









this image would come in handy in our music video and is a good idea because the lyrics say that bridge is on fire meaning he cant get over the bridge so no need to leave. we are also going to get a picture of a boy froze as it says froze by desire
