Filming continued....

So yesterday for the opening of my music video "when im falling down" I filmed the sunsetting, however it didnt really work as well as I wanted too... the sun didnt set quick enough and I was beginning to run out of film! So I might have to go and re-film this tomorrow.

The Big Evaluation, The questions:

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

How effective is the combination of your product and ancillary texts?

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

What else I have to do...

Tonight!
I am going to get some footage of very beaty "rave" type of thing, this will help even more with the instrumental pieces of my song which I was finding the hardest to film, a combination of this and the driving footage will fill up most of my intrumental pieces and ill just need to get human footage, so far so good!



I think the hardest part of this is going to be pieceing it all together so that it doesnt just look all jumbled up.

More Ideas and beginning of filming

As I was thinking the other day I decided that I wanted to have some more urban pieces in my piece, my theme that runs the whole way through is colour( Due to the song) So I was thinking about colourful things in life, then looking at some of my previous ideas I saw the lights of night traffic, it clicked that this could be a really good idea! I would set up my tripod in the front of my car but not so you could see any of the car and then film quite a lot, this would enable me to speed things up to make it fit the beats!

Costume of the main character

I want the main character to be very average looking, so the audience can almost relate to him, he'll be in very real locations so it would look strange if he was dressed in a way that's out of the ordinary.
Inspiration:

Actual costume was just a simple pair of dark jeans and a blue coat, these are the only parts of clothing you see on the character as there is not a lot of close up work etc.

Planning for the shoot- Filming location

Inspiration:

Bure River, Norfolk

Being so fortunate to live in Norfolk there are plenty of places to film because of the beatuiful coutryside, woods and scenery. For my video I am going to be filming here:

The only thing i am going to have to be careful of is mud!

Mood Board Before Shoot

Connotations of Chosen Colours

I thought I would just quickly explain the reasoning for chosing the colours that I chose for my album;

Green is a color that has both an up and down side. It's associated with the new growth of spring, prosperity, and clean, fresh air, yet it can also carry a negative connotation, in terms of mold, nausea, and jealousy. Throughout the ages, green has most often been considered to represent fertility, and during the 15th century, green was the most popular choice of for the wedding gowns of European brides.

Because Blue is associated with the color of the sea and the sky, blue has come to symbolize serenity and infinity. That's especially true of the more greenish shades of blue, such as aqua and teal. On the other hand, cooler shades of blue can have a tendency to cause feelings of sadness.

In terms of these covers i think the greens represent clean and fresh ideas and that the blues represent sadness.

Digipak take Two!

For this digipak I decide I would use an image that would relate to the video so I took and editted(mainly colours) of some tropical fish. This came out really effectively I think as it is a colour contrast to the rest of the digipak!

Magazine advert inspiration

I knew I wanted to do an illustrative piece for the magazine including little images that would be included in the video, this is the inspiration I used:

On part of my digipak I used an image of the band that I got off google pictures, because I don't own the rights to the image I cant use it, Therefore I will have to change the image to something else.
