In this post i have another podcast that is up-to-dating you about my production and hopefully you have a better understanding and insight into my music video and what i want to get out of it as a result. Well anyway her is more explanation in this podcast:
Hope you now have a better understanding of what is to come
Originally i wanted to use a white rose for the music video....
However, after filming with the white rose and playing with the lighting a white rose seemed extremely dull and un-romantic. Therefore i decided to have a 'change in plan',which was to switch the white rose to a red rose.
I changed the colour of the rose because the red rose was more vibrant in colour and had a nicer flower within the light. Furthermore it was more romantic and more sensual to use the red rose as the colour gave it meaning and more passion between the two characters, which is what i wanted to portray with the my music video.
Hopefully the audience can see the message I'm trying to portray with the rose and much prefer ed rose effect on the music video, to see what happens you will have to watch the music video which is coming soon. Hope you enjoyed my post.
Interested in a real life story i went to watch the film 'The Impossible' with main characters
Mother Maria played by Naomi Watts
Father Henry played by Ewan McGregor
Oldest son Lucas played by Tom Holland
Middle son Thomas played by Samuel Joslin
and youngest son Simone played by Oaklee Pendergast
'The Impossible' is based on the real live events of the 2004 tsunami on the 26th of December in Thailand on boxing day. This story starts with the family taking a vacation from Japan, in Thailand, however they are an English family. The family are taking a holiday for the Christmas period, getting away from reality of work and bills to have a nice break .
However their idyllic holiday is brutally interrupted on boxing day morning the 26th of December 2004 , when a huge unexpected tsunami hits their beach resort. However after everything that happens the family survive.....but do they stay together, watch the film and you will find out for yourself.
This film has some gory images and if you can stomach devastation and a little harsh images its a great film to watch. Its an overall heart warming story that is a bit of a tear jerker for the light hearted, hope you have a chance to watch the film as it truly is an eye opener.
Below is the trailer of the film 'The Impossible'
Hope you enjoyed my post and got a chance to see the film 'The Impossible'.......
In this post i'm showing how far i have come within my filming and prodction, this by showing the number of shots i have done and the series in which i have done them, i haven't completely finished filming however i plan to finish within the next couple of weeks...
Hope you enjoyed my post and no have a better idea on the path i want to take within my music video, also when i have the last shots filmed i will post them up for you on the production plan.
In this post i will be looking at types of music videos that contrast to Demi Lovato's 'Give Your Heart A Break'.
After looking at many different types of music videos i found a few new artist releases that are the opposite to my music video. The first is 'Your Body' by Christina Aguilera
This music video is a contrast to 'Give your heart a break' because in the music video 'your body' its more about rebelling and fighting back by breaking others guys hearts and making them feel the pain that the main character feels instead of sorting out the situation.
Christina in this music video is showing her female dominance and showing how she is not going to be played by any male, because she can play them 10 times harder. Its impowering to females in the sense that she is showing them that they have power to control men and not let men control them.
The next music video is 'One More Night' By Maroon 5
In this music video Maroon are showing the dysfunctional relationship of him and his 'Wife', 'Girlfriend' and 'Babies mother'. You can see from the music video that there is a false sense of the relationship and it’s not real and they put up with each other for their child.
At the end of the music video when the lead singer is left on his own because his wife/ girlfriend has packed up everything and gone, he doesn’t seem to bothered and says "I don’t know, whatever" showing that any chemistry between the two characters has truly disintegrated.
As you can see both of these music videos are an extreme contrast from my music video because in my music video my main character Francesca is showing how people can be wrong and have to appolgise for what they have said and done when their wrong. However in the music video's above are showing strong woman and dysfunctional relationships which can't be fixed.
Hope you liked seeing the types of contrasts you can have when it comes to music videos and the way the artist feels about their life and other people within their life.
In class we were looking at screen tests as it will assist us when it came to filming for our final projects, which mine is the music video. A screen test is when the director goes out to a location similar to where they are going to film the final project, and do shots of scenes they may incorporate within their music video or any other project they may be taking on when it comes to filming.
I took on the task of screen tests for my music video to give me some shots and angles which i may incorporate into my music video.
I had to consider many factors when it came my screen tests i had to think about the location and the limits i had when filming. For my location i had to use a wooded area within my school and my friend Sophie was a fit in for my actor and from this is could determine what shots i may use. For the screen tests i used 'Mr Brighside' by The Killers as i did not have my song and i wanted to play around and experiment with my screen shots and the editing for them.
Any way below is the final piece, i hope you enjoy...
Just to warn you i only did a small amount of filming when it came to my screen tests and only included the clips which i thought were most suitable and fun for when it came to my music video, and i have only around 50 seconds of clips. However i have left the rest of the song on the video just in case you wanted to hear and enjoyed that's why the screen goes black. Hope you enjoyed my screen tests is only a small glimpse into how good my final music video it's going to be.
In this post i want to keep you up-to-date with whats going on within my media production and all the stages i have completed and need to complete. I will be posting podcasts about my production and how it coming along, below is the first inside into whats going on within my production.
