Storyboard

 

This is our storyboard for our indie pop music video.

Filming delay

We met up as planned today to film the beach scenes but unfortuntely once we got to the beach it was raining and this prevented us from getting any good clips so we have moved filming till next sunday which will be the 11th of november. We will be making another call sheet with the information on for the next day of filming and hopefully the weather will stay nice!

Second Location (Featuring male)

There will be two locations featured in our music video. We are using the beach for the setting that will be featured in black and white and show Catherine's character looking back to her past relationship. The second location is going to be when we have Ryan's character in. This will be when we are showing Catherine's characters past relationship. We will have all the clips that are showing the past relationship in colour. This is to represent the happy feel of the couple. We have not yet properly looked into the location we will be using for this part of the musiv video but we are familar with the surroundings so we will have no problem finding a good setting. We are wanting to have somewhere with fields and a peaceful setting, this will link well with the beach setting aswell and tie the whole music video together.

Location

We have chosen to film on South Shields beach. We chose this setting becasue the beach is a nice pleasant beach with a light house and ruins near by. These will be good things to include in some shots throughout the music video. We are either getting a lift from a friend or the train/bus to the beach and we are going at no later than 10 in the morning because we don't want the dark nights being a problem for filming. On our location scout we found plenty toilets and food places nearby. We are going to get plently shots of the waves and of Catherines character walking around the beach, this will all give us some good short shots of the setting and represent the tranquil and natural feel we are wanting to get.

Our Logo

 

 

This is the first sketch we have of our logo that we are wanting for the digi pak and the album artwork. We are sticking to using the balloon as the focus of the locus aswell as the focus of the music video. We are wanting the red balloon to be symbolic to the band. We are going to have the bands name on the string as it gives our band a unique feel to others. We want this style of logo to be a kind of limited edition album digi pak and the advert. However on other things involved with the band the text will be more bold and simple as it fits well with the indie pop genre and makes it more of a boyish feel seen as though the band are boys. We are going to create this same picture in photoshop and it will have a cartoon style to it, when doing our research we found that this is quite common for the genre we have picked.

Beach location images

Last week Ellie went out to south sheilds beach to get some good pictures of the beach location we are wanting to use in our music video. The pictures we got show the beach and the sea itself which we are wanting to get some nice shots showing the waves which helps build the naturalistic feel that we are aiming for. We also found a nice path that we thing will be good to have the female character walking down when we first see her before she begins reminising about her past relationship. The beach is an ideal location for the mellow and relaxed feel that we want to portray seen as though a lot of people associate the sea as a relaxing place to be. Ellie also found some ruins at the beach and these will be very nice to include to give the music video a vintage old fashioned feel and also it will give us the opportunity to experiment with some interesting shots that we haven't used in past media projects.



 

When looking through the pictures Ellie got of the beach location we found this shot and the sunset gives the sky a nice relaxing feel and we were thinking we would try and include this in our music video at some point even though it is a still shot. However we don't know if this would be possible as it could effect our continuity.
