Things that come to mind when i think of The Colours digi pack

Target audience

When we come back from our holiday we are going to get an audience to view our music video and help us see where we went wrong,where we went right and what type of audience they think our video will appeal to. I think that our music video will appeal to teenage girls and boys who are perhaps in a similar situation. The reason i think it'll appeal to teenagers is because teenagers have these issues with the other gender and tend to find them selves in complicated relationships as a process of learning, A lot of teenagers take relationships seriously and this is why i think our music video is something teenagers can relate to. I also think that as we are teenagers ourselves we influence the way they think and behave and i think being a film made by teenagers is more effective than it would have been if made by adults.

Finished music video

Colour ideas for Digi pack

Update of what we are doing.....

Today we realised that we have almost finished our music video, We just need to add in more transitions. Our music video seems to be in time with the music and we have also edited the love interest and the lead singer singing certain lyrics as if they were speaking them they are in time with the music and look really good. Thursday we went out and filmed the lead singer (Chaise) passing out to add more sense to out plot of the music video, We also filmed an hand held point of view shot. Chaise held the camera and moved it around as fast as he could to make everything in sight look blurry this was to achieve a drunken effect as earlier on we see him making his way into then out of a pub. We are now just going through the music video and putting in things such as transitions and effects. I hope to include some screen grabs from out editing soon.

Purpose of music videos

Today i was flicking through music channels on TV. I watched a few music videos and noticed that there are actually so many different purposes of realising music videos.

There are ones promoting new films and wanting to reach out the the public who like the particular song so they see the film and example of a song promoting a film is Paramore Decode. This song has been composed especially for the film Twilight. The video includes scenes from this film to encourage the public to want to see the film or if they have seen this film it encourages them to maybe buy the bands single.

Here is the music video:

There are also music videos that promote musicians new singles such as scouting for girls 'This ain't a love song'. These music videos are either done in a documentry style or illustrate the lyrics of the song. The purpose of this music video is to "sell" the single as much as it can if people can see the song visually then they may like it even more.

Then there are also music videos and songs that are calibrations of two artists singing together to promote one another. One is usually trying to help promote a new artist. This is a great comparison to media as it is just like a cross convention as it is two people working together to make a positive.

Here is an example : B.O.B. has worked with Rivers Cumo in order to help them noticeable to the public.

More filming

On Friday we filmed a flash back dream scene. The idea came to us on the day as we had a whole week of snow and we thought that it is very rare and so we wanted to work around that and add in a scene involving snow. The best idea we came up with was this whole flash back dreaming idea. When we edit the scene i mentioned putting it in black and white because it separates fantasy with reality and also represents the past to preset day. The day after we filmed a scene where Lexy rips off all the notes that the lead singer had left around her room saying "tonight i let you go"/its over to make her aware their relationship is over however we also thought that perhapps this is in her head because she is angry that this has come to an end. Originally we were going to show him decorating the place with notes however James felt that this would be best. We took a few different shots rather than keeping it the same and now we only have one more scene to add in to our music video so we hope to meet the deadline.

Changes made due to weather

Due to the weather conditions we haven't beeen able to film much. This whole week has been full of snow and so today we decided to make a list of all the things we could include in our music video to make up for loss time.
Here is the list:
Other scene ideas: From “loveless fools believe…..”
· (Tonight I let you go/it’s over) postick note
· Documentary (band cheering him up, show the other side of his life distraction from what is going on)?
· Fans wanting autographs
· Speed up editing of girls making a banner for the band?
· Press scence interview (flashing cameras smiling )
· As it has been snowing we thought we could create a Flash back in the snow and then make it look like the flashback had been rewinded before he wakes up to show he is waking up but waking up to reality of this present day.
