Storyboards

Our group storyboarding

Amongst our group, we decided that storyboards would be a good way of planning our music video. Me and Nathan Oliver created the storyboards and we both coloured them in to stand out and look colourful and look like we put in effort as we believed this was an important part of our planning as we would follow this step by step guide of filming. We added in what type of shot this would be, the shot number and dialogue to make it clear for us to read.

Second picture analysis

Picture analysis

Photoshop images

On photoshop we edited photos and put in different effects to make the picture suit our genre. We chose this effect because we thought it would look good on our CD.

Images of our band,

In class we was asked to go off around the school and take photos of different images and our band in various destinations. We chose these photos because they are typical of an english boyband. This is because of the poses we are doing and the places we are taking the photos. For example the first picture looks like it is set in an urban environment due to the brick walls and the steps that we a a band are sitting on.The second picture is the four of us (the whole band) sitting on a wall with railings which is also an urban environment which relates to the UK grime genre. The last photo is of the band with a plain background which we are thinking of editing on photoshop for our CD cover.

Planning - Roles

We come up with roles for our group working out who the performer will be, the editor and also who will be filming the video.

Main Performer: In our music video Casey will be the main performer acting and lipsyncing the song of Example - Millionaire.

Second Performer: Nathan will be the second performer singing the chorus of the song.

Editor: Nathan Powell will be the main editor of the music video but we will all contribute with the ideas of what we think willl work.

Filmer: The person filming the video will be Tyler.

Planning - initial ideas

Our first initial thoughts was to do a well known American artist called Eminem. The reason why we was going to do him was because we all like his music and we all look up to him. However, we was then told that we could not do a song that already has a music video so we had to re think. We then also got told that it would be better to do a UK artist so we was thinking of songs that we could do and those that do not have music videos already made. We thought of a good UK artist who is known and we thought of a man called Example. Then we looked at his album list and went on youtube to see what songs did not have music videos and what songs we liked most. The song that we liked most was Millionaire which is a bit of the UK Grime genre. After finding the song that we liked we looked at other UK Grime artists like Example to see what kind of stuff they have in their music videos and then we looked at the conventions of a Grime music video.We then thought of good locations where we could film after looking at the lyrics and we came up of a idea of going to Brighton for our main location and also filiming in night clubs and inside someone's house as these locations would match the lyrics. The costume that our performer will be wearing will be hip hoppy with bright colours that clash eachother well so like the red and yellows with the blue or dark grey trousers with the leather jacket.
