Final Cut image

This what our final cut software looks like, we use this software to produce our music video.

Target audience

Veruca salt, never emailed us back which is unfortunate as we would of wanted their ideas and input in the music video that we were doing. So we have looked again at their myspace and sent another email. We have looked again at their myspace, to work out the type of people that would listen the the bands music, as we have agreed that it is quite niche as the song is quite old, but if people listened to the song to date then I think that people wouldn't believe it is so old. The type of people that we think would like this song, are teenagers who are into the indie genre, even though that our song is quite soft rock as well.

We think that the audience who would listen to our songs would also be interested in similar bands and artist like - Arctic Monkeys, Athlete, Black Kids, The Kills, The Kooks, Kate Nash etc

Feedback on rough cut.

We couldn't share our rough cut, to the class as we were having technical issues, but now it is up. Here are the questions we are going to ask:


Do you think that it is similar to our first idea, and the animatic?
Do you like the camera angles?
How do you think we should improve and what should we include?
If you saw more of it, would you understand - the continual of the piece?

So far,

Whilst we have been editing our footage, we have decided to use a black and white tone, through out the music video, apart from the clips of the male actor as we want him to stand out. We want to use a b&w tint so that it looks more professional and gives the eery effect we want. In addition to this to also make our music video more professional we are giving all our clips a black border.
Also speed up some clips, like the guitarist so that he is playing to the speed of the music especially where there is a large mount of just instrumental footage.

We have about 3 weeks until the music video has to be done, INCLUDING half-term. we have made a short list which things we have to do:
* film a few shots of us singing as a group
*the male actor and one of the singers, singing near him - seducing him.
*clip of when singer, sees the actor cheating - going to use a camera shot - like CCTV
*close up of the smashing of light bulb
* group shot of all four singers, performing in a cage.
