Next Video Shoot

Next Video Shoot

The next video shoot is scheduled for the 8th of march at Danson Park. We are filming in this particular area because this is the idea that we had at the beginning to do the narrative side of the music video in an open rural area. The shots we are looking for are shots of Niamh (the girl in our music video) walking through the area alone. These shots are going to be put in slow motion when editing. Furthermore we are also looking to get shots of the main band member (Harry) walking by himself,with shots in slow motion and them meeting up etc.

This is our first draft from our music video Of Mice and Men - Back To Me.

Next Video Shoot Plan

Next Video Shoot Plan

For our next video shoot we are going to be doing the same full band setting. However, for this shoot we are going to be doing different shots and using a different camera as well. The camera we are going to be using is the sony A6000. With this camera we will be able to put some of the footage in slow motion which is exactly what we want. 

First video shoot

First video shoot

last Wednesdays we done our first shoot for our music video. Within this shoot we got good band shots which is the core of the video. This shoot was very successful as the shots came out the way we expected and we particularly liked the fact that we could play around and experiment with the lighting board in drama so we managed to find the perfect lighting. In addition to this, due to the fact that the song comes under the genre of rock we needed a specific lighting which is dark, but still light enough that you can see the whole band and we managed to get this.

Video shoot plan

We planned to do our first video shoot for the band part of the music video. Within this shoot we are looking to get the core parts of the video, so this will be the intro and majority of the chorus, and also to get a few nice shots that can be fillers. We are going to be filming the shoot in the schools drama room which also has a lighting board so we can play around with the lighting and experiment and then decide on what we like best. For this shoot we are taking the drum kit, a bass guitar and an electric guitar from music. We will also obviously need a camera, but we are also going to use a steady cam as well. 

First digipack design

First Digipack Design

This is half of the first design for my Digipack which is part of our coursework. The top half which isn't filled in yet will be filled in with pictures of the band (The Watchmen). The reason i have only used the basic colours of grey, black and white is because these particular colours suit very well with my genre. Typically a Digipack would have a picture of the band on the front cover, however i felt to move away from that stereotype and break the mould a little bit by putting things on the front cover that can be associated with the rock genre or my band in particular. In addition to this point, this is only a first design for my digipack and im aiming to make at least three or four to have a choice between them. I may go around my class and ask people which one they prefer most and use that as my final one.
