Mood Board

This is our mood board which helps create the mood, atmosphere and theme. We will stick to these motifs.

Shooting Calendar

This is our shooting calendar, which will help us be organised when filming so we all know when to meet up. It will help avoid confusion and keep us on track to make sure we meet deadlines.

Inspirational Videos

We like the use of the green screen and the editing in this video. We hope to base our post-production on this video as it looks clever and modern and adds interest to what could be a simple or even boring video if it didn't include these clever screen cuts and movement of shots. In turn, this will help keep our music video looking upbeat and interesting.     We like the theme and mood of this music video so we will get our actress to dress like this and will age the video to give it a vintage feel. The 50s theme would really fit with our song and it would give an interesting twist to what would be a typical modern styled music video. This is probably the most important inspirational video as we are strongly basing the whole mood, theme and style on the ideas taken from this video. This video has lots of camera's around the artist (0.26) which is something we are interested in looking into, we also want to use the idea of blanking out the screen then wiping it away to reveal our actress (0.30). We think this would add something different to our video as it isn't expected and wouldn't really follow the conventions of an upbeat pop song with a 50s theme. This video also shows the cameras in the shot (0.50), it also has a lot of attitude and personality which is what we want Jenny to have. We want to portray her as a strong female trying to break out of the stereotypical 50s housewife image, she brings a bit of modernity to the theme, this attitude is inspired by this video. Beyonce used this as inspiration for her Countdown music video, it isn't the main feature but adds another dimension to it, it is interesting to see two totally different ideas mixed together into one video. We used this video to inspire our dance. We like the way it starts off as just a rehearsal then builds up to look life a professional performance. We want to add elements of both, using the rehearsal theme but adding stage lights to make it look jazzy and important. This video inspired us because of its sharp editing techniques which match the thought beats (1.02). We want to make sure our editing skills are sharp and crisp to make it look as professional as possible, it also makes the video look attractive as it flows and suits the music. From this video we have taken the idea of the projection over the artist (2.14). We want to use this for the slower parts of our song to give it a dreamy, relaxed feel, also making it a complete contrast to the rest of the video. Again, it would also add another element to our video so it wasn't all just plain and simple performing and straight-forward lip-syncing. At 3.10 the artist is dressed as a nerdy school girl, we would like to portray our actress like this at times for a literal interpretation of the lyrics. We will also do this with the teacher and preacher lyrics.

Audience Research

This is our research to find out what kind of things people like in pop music videos. It will help us to decide what we do and don't put in our own video so hopefully it will appeal to a mass audience. We made sure to ask a range of different people so we get valid views and opinions and to help us create a video that most people will like, or at least wont dislike. We tried to ask a variety of questions which will help us decide when, where and what goes into our video, this helps us to make sure all aspects of our video are appealing and interesting to the majority of people who watch it.

Risk Assesment

Risk assessment from bronterachel

We had to make a risk assessment sheet to show we are aware of the risks and hazards when using equipment and filming in different places. This is to keep us (Rachel and I) and Jenny safe when filming and performing.

Audience Profile

Facebook assignment from bronterachel

 

We created a fake person who is portrayed as our target audience. We had to make her seem like a real person and make sure her interests reflected the kind of person we would expect her to be. We made a Facebook page which shows her interests and what she does in her spare time eg. going to concerts and seeing friends, we also made a playlist to show what type of music genre she likes. We see our target audience as being a teenage girl, so we made sure to portray her in a young and girly way.
