Planning Diary WIP

By
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.

Todorov's Narrative Theory

By
There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include: Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning. Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption. Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on. Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium). Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.

Evaluation 3

By
There is currently no feedback on our music video as well as the digipak and the website. The only communication we have with our audience is from a survey about music videos in general. We learnt that our main audience were teenagers that mostly all agreed that music videos made songs much better. This is good news for us, as we have picked a genre of song (hip-hop/rap) that generally appeals to a younger target audience Results also show that they thin the main purpose of a music video is to entertain, as a result, we have attempted to make the music video as entertaining as possible. We did this through trying to make it aesthetic as well as relatable. The survey also shows that people think aesthetics is also very important, therefore we tried to focus on some interesting shots in our music video to try and match what people think.  Results also indicate that our audience tend to enjoy both music videos with narrative and performance at the same time. As a...

Intended Institution Analysis

By
This is a post that explains what intended institution we will want to have. This consists of the TV institution in which we would like the music video to be presented on. A lot has to be taken into account when choosing the TV station, this would consist of the kind of viewers that watch the stations. For example it would be a bad idea to have the music video shown on a classical music channel when the target audience for the video is between 16-30 aged people. also the viewers of that channel would most likely not like the video so therefore it would get bad reviews and a name. Will and i have chosen to use the TV channel 'VEVO' to present our video as this is a well known music channel and the majority of viewers of the channel are within our target audiences ages. this would be a very effective channel to use as it would most likely get out to the intended audience and also would act as a way of getting the video some popularity and feedback from the audience.
