Idea for Design of Magazine Advert

As the magazine advert hasn’t been properly thought about yet, I make my group take time out from starting the evaluation to all get a general idea of how we want our magazine advert to look like, we have came up with a simple but effective idea that would attract the target audience of the band.

Completion of the Music Video

Here is the First Copy of our Music Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItgwYGHGK7I

This is the first copy of our completed Music Video as after uploading it to YouTube I noticed that some of the clips haven’t been muted in the narrative and the performance. I felt this needed changing before burning it to the final disc to be handed in due it to being sound which was out of place in the video; the only sound that we felt needed to in the video was the key dropping. However in this version there are many unmated clips that we thought were muted such as the clip where I am calling Kieran as Chris was mimicking a telephone dial which can be heard.

As well as performance shots that have the track playing from when filming it, as we were playing the track in the drama studio from a CD player, and as it was a drama studio suddenly there is clip with the song echoing which isn't what we wanted to be unmuted.

Slow Progress of Digipak

The Digipak has been a task that has been going on for a while, and is making slow progress, and its the front cover which has made the no progress, although I have established which image will be used as it has come to the text I find this the more difficult part as there are many fonts that could be used, however finding the right font and also placing it on the Digipak Cover is proving difficult.

I think I have finally found the font that could be used for the song title as it is the same font as the lettering that is found on playing cards and as we have made the connection between the song and the playing cards I feel it would be the right font to use. I found the font on dafont.com which has many fonts that are there for users to download for personal use. The font I have chosen for the song title is titled “Slab Tall X” and is available to download for free from dafont.com.

I now have to identify the right font for the band name, but this would also be a band name/logo that the audience identify the band by. So it has to be artistic and need to link to the band more than the song as the graphic would be used for all of the bands Albums, and no just for this album of “Tonight I Let You Go”.

The Progress of the Digipak

When designing the Digipak I feel that the most important thing to get right is the front cover due it being the part of the CD that the audience sees first. So taken it into consideration I have been going through different edits to create the perfect front cover than will match the other shots for the Digipak to the front cover so the theme runs throughout.

For the front cover these are how it has developed (please note: the text hasn't been added yet to all front cover attempt and will be added when the final design as been created and agreed):

Attempt 1:
Although I hate this Attempt I felt it was necessary to include it to show the development of the Idea. There are many reasons I dislike this design such as the colours being too bright and the picture appearing in the background is too bold, and would need to be faded in more, which I then did the other attempts I created.



Attempt 2:

Attempt 3:

Attempt 4:

Attempt 5:

This is the only attempt that I decided to add text to while in Picnik, although the text works I’m not sure about the font and think there could be a better font for the band name which would also work as the band logo, and then the song title.

.

Attempt 6:

With this attempt I played around with the colour to see what the effects would create although it looks okay, and could be a Digipak cover I don’t feel it has that wow factor which is needed for our Digipak cover.

.

Attempt 7:

This attempt is the same colouring as the next attempt but without the picture appearing in the background, there is a white vignette applied which I feel gives a good affect the Digipak cover, also I like how the colour stands out from the white background and the text when included would stand out due to it appearing on the white background.

.

Attempt 8:

This is the attempt I feel would be the best to use for the Digipak, because it is pure white, which matches the colour background of the performance shots in the video as well as looks abstract with the picture appearing faint in the background which I feel gives more of an effect than Attempt 7 which is the same edit without the picture being put into the background.

As I feel this Attempt will go on and be the Digipak front cover the text font for “Tonight I Let You Go” and “theCOLOURS” needs to be found and added to the CD cover, and all the other panels of the Digipak should be edited to match this, so there is an overall theme going through the Digipak.

All of these images were edited on Picnik, a online photo editing site that I have used frequently in the past to edit my own photos, there are many effects that could be applied and as I was comfortable with the editing software I decided to use it rather than Photoshop which we had access to on the Mac’s we were editing on.

The next task is to get the correct font and add the text to the front of the Digipak, the text will be added to the cover in Adobe Fireworks, which is software I know how to operate due to having used it before and I am comfortable in using it.

How to get Audience Feedback in an Innovative way

There are possible ways that we could get audience feedback for our Music Video especially in an Innovative way, which would be better than a paragraph after paragraph of plain text.

- Filmed interviews, with a range of people from our target audience, asking then the same questions from a script to see how people views differ.

- Wordles, which is a method I used when I presenting the feedback I had from the target audiences favourite music genre.

- Creative graphs.

- Mood boards.

- Feedback from the band, which could be quite beneficial.

Idea for Digipak

In order to know what to take photos of when it comes to creating the Digipak I have planned what the Digipak could look like, and which pictures are needed. And it also enables me to had a design to work towards and hopefully create in a more developed manor.

Media Update

Over the past couple of weeks the tasks that have been completed during my media lessons were the editing of the film as well as photographing possible ideas and developing ideas for the Digipak that also needs creating. After a couple of lessons with three people crammed around the watch watching the editing happen we then spilt it up so that only two people were on the Mac and then the other was sorting out the Digipak ideas while getting feedback from the group members that were editing. We came to this decision as I was ill for one lesson and it was said that we progressed in the editing more than what we did with only 2 people rather than all three group members and as I had many ideas I wanted to try out for the Digipak I decided to go onto the Digipak while the other two group members continued editing. However to make sure that I still had input into the editing, when the Jack and Chris needed a third opinion I was asked and also at the beginning at each lesson I watched the video and commented on what I felt needed to be changed or adapted, them Jack and Chris would implement the changes if they thought it was necessary.



I think working this way has helped us to progress faster in the editing and then we also have progress achieved on the Digipak.

Storyboard of "Seduction" Shots

These are the beginning shots that will appear in our Music Video, we felt it was beneficial to storyboard that as it would mean when filming it’ll be more organised when filming the shots.

In total there are 8 shots were needed to be storyboarded. I drew the Green boxes and the man, while Jack drew the Female in Pencil so his ideas for position could be presented, as changed if I felt it needed to be, so it was a team effort on this storyboard to get the ideas down to help us in the long run.

Storyboard for Music Video

This is the storyboard that has been created for the whole narrative scene in the music video. We felt it was necessary to fully storyboard the narrative scene as it was the part we really needed to get right to make the video flow, although the Performance shot were just as important these would be easier to film without a prompt.

Filming Day - Monday 8th Novemeber

So it was the final day we had to film for our Music Video, it wasn’t planned to be as demanding as Friday’s filming day however this time we had to work around others seems we were filming at our school. We asked permission to use the stage for our performance shots a couple of weeks back and were told we were able to use it during lessons 3 and 4. However we also had to work around the English Exam which was happening in the School hall and stage which started at 9:00 that morning.

After arriving at school for the normal time and meeting the group in the common room through what then was form time, we discussed on where we could go to practise the performance and give the band members time to learn the lyrics and beat to the song etc. We also were able to practise the seductions poses and film the hair swishing shots within them two hours we allocated. During this time we also found ourselves trying to mend a bass guitar that we couldn’t fix so in the end it wasn’t used.

When it came to 11:15 we wandered over to the stage hoping that the exam was over and we were able to use the stage, and was told that we could only use the stage at 11:45 when the examiners had finished collecting the papers and sorting them, as we didn’t know what to do then we wandered to find a room that was free to use our time wisely and do some practising. However before getting to another room to practise we saw the drama teacher that gave us the permission to use the stage and as he realised we weren’t able to use the space until later on that day he offered us the drama studio to film in, although the background would be white and not black. But as a group we decided that a white background would be suitable and the studio would be better to film in as was well lit.

The filming of the seduction shots was done first to get it out the way and it meant that the music equipment could be transported to the studio while they were being filmed saving us time. Once those shots were filmed we went straight onto the performance and filmed it a whole shot throughout the whole song then got close up shots from different positions and angles in different parts of the song, in total all these parts in the drama studio had to be filmed within the two hours that we were given, and we also have to take the instruments back. The final shot that was needed to be filmed was the card shower, which we used four packs of cards for. We used the technique we used to test the card shower and we felt they fell in clumps and also the shot that we got wasn’t from the best position. So we picked all the cards up repositioned the camera and Rob came up with the idea of just throwing the cards up and letting them fall, as the drama studio didn’t have a proper ceiling so plenty of room to throw the card up and allowing them to shower over Kieran. We watched back the shot and we felt it was a success so we called it a rap!! Next step is to upload all the filming to the Mac and hope we have all the shots we need.

I felt that the filming days have been successful however they have been very tiring, however the editing is the next step as well as planning and completion of the ancillary tasks.

Filming Day - Friday 5th November

After the first day of filming the day has been successful, as well as being fun filled. Unfortunately the day started with a trip into school as we forget to pick up our camera at school the day before, so Jack got the camera from school and I came across him when I was walking into school checking whether the camera have been gotten. We got to Haconby before schedule as we planned to get the bus to Morton and walk to Haconby. However luckily when getting off the bus in Morton and meeting Rob; Rob’s mum pulled up and offered us a lift to Ben House, which was the location we choose to film at. After getting there a little earlier we went through the folder with the storyboards and shot lists and ticked the ones that had to be done and at which location. And as the weather looked okay we felt we should do the outside scenes first then come inside and do the indoor scenes as we felt it make rain later on in the afternoon.

.

Taking the dog with us, the first location of filming was down the countryside road where we took shots of Kieran running away and towards the camera, as it was a quiet road we were able to film without many cars needing to come through. Seems the shots we wanted were high shots, we had a stepladder with us and we took the same shot from different angles on two cameras, enabling us to decide later which angle would be better. We then went further down the road to film at the bridge where Kieran walks up to the wall and sits on it, legs over the side, and drops his phone into the river below. When getting to the location we decided it would be beneficial to get shots from in the river and of the phone falling towards the camera. So this meant that a person had to go down into the river, it ended up with four people in the river as a coat was needed to save the phone from actually going into the river. Although we should have thought of the risks involved with going into the river, the four guys went into the river helping each other and well we survived it, no cuts or bruises and just good footage (hopefully).

After successfully getting shots from in the river, we wandered to the next location, “The Hare and the Hounds”. While Ben and I went back to Ben’s house taking the dog back and getting changed into our costumes as we had been behind camera until now. And by the time we got back to the pub, we had cokes all round and the cameras set up to film as Chris asked the Owner whether we could film in there, and after not being that keen she accepted. After getting the shots needed in the littlest time possible so we didn’t disturb their day to day business.

After the morning of shooting after getting back to Ben’s house we got the Camera’s on charge and the Pizza’s in the oven and sat down and reviewed the day so far as well as states what had to be done. While going over shots that could be done we did decide to shot then that minute while waiting for the Pizza’s to cook, so the shots of Kieran walking out the door and leaving his keys behind was shot as we were reviewing what had to be done next. With nearly of the shots of Kieran running away sorting, while eating in between shots.

The next scene that needed shooting was the scene were Kieran walks in on me in bed with Jack, it was a risky shot to put into our music video however as a group we feel it’s needed as it’s a typical convention of a music video, and well it’ll either work or make our video awful, however it is worth the risk, in order to make a video with elements that other groups in our school have considered. Although the scene being awkward it was done successfully and looked fine when we played it back on the camera, it’ll just now depend on how it looks when edited and put into the video.

Seems it was getting into the late afternoon we finished the final shot needed with Kieran and allowed him to leave as he had work to get to and we continued with my scenes that had to be filmed. One problem we came across was that the Cappuccino with the heart added with chocolate dust didn’t work as hasn’t been filmed yet. It wasn’t successful as the heart wouldn’t stay on the top of the drink as the frothy milk that was on top was too liquidly and allowed the chocolate to spread across the top of the drink instead of staying in the shape of the heart. We will have to go back and film this shot when we can, which is hopefully soon.

Overall the day can be called a successful and the filming is only half way through as the “seduction” shots and the performance shots have got to be filmed and hopefully they will be an success too. Our group was able to review the day on our 4 mile trek home, were we talked about the day’s events and what went well, and what needs sorting. The cappuccino shots not working is a disappointment especially as it was tested to make sure it worked, however we should have used the same drink and made it the same way to enable it to work when we needed it to.

Testing Music Video Shots

This is a quick video which Jack put together showcasing two of the most complex shots, testing which way is the best way to film and best way to edit them.

The first shot that we tested was the card shower that will be included at the end of the video in the performance scenes, we tested different angles which we felt it could work in as we weren't sure which angle would work best so tested them, as well as testing which way was the best way to throw the card for the best effect. We looked at the different angles available and we decided the best way for the cards to be thrown was when to press the ends of the cards with the fingers until they shot out, which is the typical way you would throw cards when playing 52 card pick-up.

The second shot we tested was the hair swish, this would be included near the start of the video. We attempted this shot out to see what kind of lighting would be best for this shot. As well as the best motion would be necessary to create the shot we wanted. The letters and numbers at the bottom of the video when these shot are shown correspond to the different filter effects that Jack used when editing the shots in iMovie.

Performance Shots in the Music Video

For our performance scenes we haven’t fully planned the shots, and have only planned the final performance shot where the band finish performing and there is card shower. However in our structure we have planned where performance shots well be in the video. As a group we felt it would be easiler not the plan which shot would be used at each part, and instead film the performance as a whole band, then film it from different shots such as close-ups of the vocalist, guitarist or drummer and film the whole song in these shots, and then when we upload the footage onto the Mac use the shots we film look better in that part of the song, and as we would have the whole song filmed as a performance we would be able to put in any of the shots in where we have given space for performance.

Costume For Female Narrative Scenes

For the Female character, I feel that this outfit should be worn for her narrative scenes. It is casual however the short skirt and frilled waistcoat keep the image we feel is needed.

As I am playing the role of the female I purchased the clothing, which wasn’t that expensive; Skirt, £1.50, F&F Tesco; T-Shirt, £3.00 F&F Tesco; Waistcoat, £12.99, H&M; Flower, £4.00, New Look.

4Music; Intuitions

4Music – Music and then some!

The intuition that I feel our music video should be shown on is 4Music. 4Music is a music channel in the United Kingdom and was launched on the 3^rd of August 2008 and replaced The Hits. The channel has a web presence and can be found at www.4Music.com as well as a present on Facebook and Twitter. 4Music is owned by the Box Television Network and is the only channel within the network to be branded under Channel 4, as well as being the only channel in the network to be broadcast in widescreen.

The reason why I feel our music video shown be on 4Music is because the channel is available to a bigger audience as it is available for Freeview viewers as well as Sky and Virgin Media viewers with a audience share of 0.3%. As well as it being a well known channel that is advertised over its sister channels; Channel 4, E4, More 4 and Film 4.

4Music is also now he home for music and celebrity orientated show and comedies that were once aired on Channel 4 as well as exclusive shows on 4Music. The non-music programmes that are being shown on 4Music are:

Being... N-Dubz

The Simple Life

Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood

Bo’ Selecta

Balls Of Steel

Girls Aloud: Off the Record

Alan Carr’s Celebrity Ding Dong

The Friday Night Project

The Kevin Bishop Show

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

Shipwrecked

Planning the Storyline for the Music Video

During our half term our group met up for two days to plan the storyline and shots for the music video we were due to film in less than 10 days. During Tuesday we discussed the storyline, and briefly described the possible shots and where they could fit. While on the Wednesday we when in to much more detail and also tested some shots, such as the playing card shower to test if they worked and in which way they worked better. This would help when we film the shots as we would know the most successful way to achieve the best shot.

Testing of Subconscious Idea for the Music Video

As we decided to put in the idea of subconsciously having props on the set that would symbolise the heartbreak, we decided to have a hot drink placed in the video somewhere which had a heart created on top of it with chocolate dust which would then be stirred showing how the love which was between the couple has gone.

When planning the music video we decided to fit this idea into this part:

“12. Woman finds the key he has left, she goes to ring him. He’s running, rejects the call. He carries on running, her face when he rejects stirs her coffee she made”

To achieve a heart on the top of the hot drink, a stencil and chocolate dust are needed. I tested how easy it was to achieve the idea, and the attempt can be seen below:

The idea is rather easy to achieve and seems it’s tested, the stencil when trying to achieve the heart while filming and it won’t waste time when sorting out the heart whist filming.

Props List for Music Video

After going through the shot list, we wrote up a prop list, of all the props that are needed, we have also given a person a responsibly to get and bring that prop. As they have said they have the prop they are willing to lend or they can get the prop for the music video. The props needed are listed below:

Actors Required for Filming

In our Music Video the parts we require actors for are: Vocalist – Narrative and Performance, Guitarist – Performance, Poker Player for the Narrative, Drummer – Performance, Poker Player for the Narrative, Ex-Girlfriend – Narrative Poker Players (4, including Guitarist and Drummer) – Narrative, Mates House/Pub (Location)

After going through the options we had we decided to ask the following to appear in our music video; Kieran Gabbitus, Rob Slipper and Ben Robinson. And for the female part we thought it would be more beneficial if I was to act that part, as it would be easier to sort the costume and make-up of the female part for myself than it would be for someone else.

Cast List

Vocalist – Kieran Gabbitus

Guitarist – Rob Slipper

Drummer – Ben Robinson

Ex-Girlfriend - Lizi Howard (Me)

Poker Players – Rob Slipper, Ben Robinson, Chris Tyler?

Subconscious Ideas for the Music Video (Props)

After our pitch we had a discussion that lead to the idea of subconsciously having props on the set that would symbolise the heartbreak we felt the song contained. The first thing suggested was Jammy Dodgers, and we then came up with confetti that was shaped as hearts. I then when further into this idea and thought in a scene the character that is suffering the heartbreak could have a hot drink that has a heart shape on top, which could have been created by chocolate sprinkled on top of the drink. The drink could then be stirred causing the heart to disappear suggesting his love has gone for his girlfriend.



I feel that having some props that have a heart design or shape involved with it would create a deeper meaning to the parts of the music video and not all viewers may realise that it was intentional unless some props such as love hearts were used as it will make it seem a little “cheesy”.

Representation of the Characters

How the people in the music video are represented is something that needs to be taken into consideration. The facial expressions, clothing, body language and props all have an impact on how the person is represented. So all areas need some thought going into them. The non-verbal communication is important seems there will not be any verbal communication with the characters within the music video and all the areas of non-verbal communication need to be considered.

Non-verbal communication consists of the following:
- Physical Space
- Clothing and Appearance
- Locomotion
- Posture
- Gesture
- Facial Expressions
- Eye Contact
- Touch
- Paralanguage

Facial Expressions
Frown - Displeasure, Unhappiness
Smile - Friendliness, Happiness
Raised Eyebrows - Disbelief, Amazement
Narrowed Eyes - Anger
Blushing - Embarrassment

Eye Contact
Glancing - Lack of Interest
Steady - Active Listening, Interest, Seduction

Hand/Arm Gestures
Pointing Finger - Authority, Displeasure, Lecturing
Folded Arms - Not open to change, preparing to speak
Arms at side - Open to suggestions, relaxed
Hands Uplifted Outward - Disbelief, puzzlement, Uncertainty

Body Postures
Fidgeting, doodling – Boredom
Hands on hips – Anger Defensiveness
Shrugging Shoulders – Indifference
Squared Stance or shoulders – Problem-solving, concern, listening
Biting lip, shifting, jingling money – Nervousness
Sitting on edge of chair – Listening, great concern
Slouching in chair – Boredom, lack of interest

Physical Space
From Physical contact to 18 inches – Intimate space
From 18 inches to 4 feet – Personal space
From 4 feet to 8 feet – Social space
From 8 feet outward – Public space

I feel after researching about non-verbal communication it needed to be considered to create a more realistic and professional music video as especially as we would to show the ex-girlfriend trying to seduce the male vocalist and with a steady eye contact it would help portray this non-verbally.
