Pictures of possible locations

This is where we will shoot one of the group members, sat down singing under a light bulb, similar to the shot in the Girls Aloud video 'Sound of the Underground'. We believe that using this bulb effect lighting will create an eery atmosphere to portray a secluded feeling the group member will experience, as this evokes the narratives of the lyrics being sung.


This shot is to show the type of shot we want of the man being held back and tide down by black duck tape.


This is the type of drum kit we will use for our group member to mime the effect of playing the drums, as our song includes lots of snippets of music instruments being played for a particular period of time. This shot will be displayed using the split screen effect.

Planning Blog Peer Assessment

1. List below the content of each of the posts (e.g. analysis of real music video). Are there any types of post that you think are missing from the blog?

- Good use of other video.
- Lots of analysis of other videos but could evaluate on how they evaluate to ours.
- Good call sheet.
- Good analysis of other videos and how things have influenced you.
- Call sheet is good and detailed
- May need more ideas.

2. Is there evidence in the blog that the group has:
Completed background research?
Organized personnel, locations and equipment for shooting?
Developed ideas since the initial concept.

YOU MUST GIVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES AS EVIDENCE

- Lots of good videos
- Good call sheet
- Well organized group
- Lots of background research- call sheet, style of videos.
-Video analysis /pitch mentions target audience
- Need shot list
- Need to analyse more (vague?)

3. (Your assessment question)

Improvements:
- Need to upload test footage
- Need pictures of props and other visuals of what will be in your video and will give a clearer image of what we are trying to portray.
- Add more ideas and make them clear by a shot list and locations shoots and test footage.

If you were to give this a blog a marking level, what would it be?
Level 4: Excellent planning 24-30 marks.
Level 3: Proficient planning 17 - 23 marks.
Level 2: Adequate planning 10 - 16 marks.
Level 1: Poor planning 0 - 9 marks.

WE GOT LEVEL 3,
but from the overall assessment we know how to improve it

Test of a test footage

here we are testing the split screen idea, we really like this and we think it will work really well with our music video as it grabs the target audience attention.
