Planning Diary WIP

June/July/August 2017 - Quickly made a preliminary video to familiarize ourselves with the equipment and techniques we can utilize for our actual video. After we created our preliminary we then started to brainstorm ideas for our first music video idea. We initially thought of using the song Paper Planes by M.I.A and the video itself would be many different videos of things to do with summer holidays such as sunny beaches and resorts etc. But when we found out that footage for this would've been scarce we had to think of a brand new idea.

September 2017 - We started to brainstorm for a new idea we then thought about making a video where it contrasts the day life of a busy town to the night life. We then tried to find a song where we could execute this idea. We then settled for Kid Cudi's Day 'n' Night. We then began to think of numerous shots that we could do including driving around a busy street at various points during the day as well as some time lapse shots of different things (such as the scenery when driving to the town or me and Alfie in the car as we drive).

October 5th 2017 - Started filming, started off with some complications which resulted in difficulty in getting footage at first, this was due to Alfie's car breaking down on the way to the location. This meant our first time getting footage was unfortunately cut short. However, the following week we intend to go out and get the intended footage. This footage was very important for us as the night was clear and the seafront had all the lights on  which we needed.

October 12th 2017 - This is our first recording session at the location, we managed to get minimal footage last week, however this week is when we should get the bulk of our footage done. Also we intend to get more equipment for this trip this includes a Go-Pro, whilst we were driving last week we thought that a Go-Pro would be a very valuable asset to our video especially when filming inside the moving car.

November 2017 - We decided to film some more just to have a bigger diversity of shots. We added a new location to film in which hopefully makes the video a bit more interesting.

Codes and Conventions of a music video

Lip Syncing A common part of a music video would be the artist or actor within the video lip syncing during the song. Lip syncing is when the artist or an actor in the video matches their mouth movements with the lyrics to the song to appear as if they are singing it. This could be the chorus or random parts within the song. The lip syncing can be done at anytime during the song there is no codes and conventions which show that the lip syncing would commonly be done at certain points. Artist Appearance It is very likely that the artist will make an appearance during the video, this is shown through a small appearance like ed sheerans music video for A team. Or it could be an appearance like Beyonce in single ladies. this allows the viewers of the music video to recognize who the artist is and also if the video becomes a success the artist is more widely recognized. An example of an artist that does not appear in their music videos would be Avicci as he does not show his face in his...
