Shooting schedule

Shown in the table above are the shooting times we plan to film our music video. We aim to film our video over the time period of only two days, however, plan to work hard and for many hours to get the filming completed. As you can see, both schedule times are at the weekend as we can get all footage recorded in our free time at the weekend and edit and put the music video togther during the school week and in media lessons. In addition, we have phoned a local gym to ask if we can film in their facilities and they gave us a time when it is least busy and so we adapted our shooting schedule to correspond with the times they said we could film.

Filming

                                                           Filming Our Music Video

Tomorrow our group is going to start filming our music video. We plan to film for the majority of the day and aim to complete filming over the weekend. We shall go to various different venues for filming such as gym's, parls and our houses so that we are able to make our story board images come to together. The video below is a video we have found recently of a USA weightlifter, Kendrick Farris. The video contains lots of short motivational clips of the athlete whilst he trains.

As portrayed from the video, many black and white clips are used for additional visual effect for the audience, the shots create great tension and makes the video more dramatic which would work well for our video too.

I have taken screen shots from the video of our favorite clips of Kendrick Farris working out. The camera angles and shots portryaed in the pictures below are the ones we plan to do similarly in our music video as we think the clips and shots would suit our music video and song choice well which is an important factor to consider.

Shot Ideas

To the left are the shot ideas we have taken from the motivational video of Kendrick Farris. As you can see from the screen shots of the pictures taking from the video, the blcack and white clips of the athlete training look great and would work really well with our theme. I particularly like the top left one of him doing Triceps Dips and the top right one of the Plate being put on the olympic bar. The fact that the shots are in black and white too makes the clip seem more dramatic and works better than a standard coloured clip. This is an example of where editing can vastly improve a clip.

Music video presentation

The video shown above is our Music Video Presentation to which we discuss: our song choice, concept, ideas so far, story line and the particular audience we target.

Poster Pictures

Poster 1 (Draft)

To the left is a picture of my first draft for my poster. The symbolic use of the silhouette of a boxer works well when layered on top of an original image of a boxer focusing in training. Although this is just a first draft, these ideas may be useful for helping me to create my final poster image. As these are not my photos, I can't then use these same photo's for my final album cover and so will take photos of my own with the same idea in mind. Also, the black and white colour scheme makes the image look more intense, perfect for a boxing theme.

                          Poster 2 (Draft)

Similarly to the first poster, I have used a background image blended with a foreground image to give the impression that one image is infront of the other. For the first poster i used a boxing silhouette to be the foreground on top of a picture of a man focusing whilst in a boxing arena. To the right, you can see my 2nd draft of a poster I have done where I have used a similar idea idea of using a background and foreground but instead of a silhouette for the foreground i have used an image of the band. This effect was made possible by the programme, Photshop. By using a picture of the band it portrays to the audience a visual image of the performers.
