Journal 6

Recently we have started our preparation for our retake of the exam from AS. We have done a practice exam and been doing refresher classes, but in our group we have been focusing on our location and deciding when to shoot our first scenes.

We have decided we have to delay our filming for a while due to the poor weather conditions, as they are not suitable as we are filming outdoors a lot. We will be able to film the indoor sections though, so we will be doing that in the near future.

Job Roles Within Group


Job roles


Director- Mike
I was chose as a director because we thought Harj and Dom thought I was best suited for this job. I will be able to use my knowledge to direct us and create a good music video.

Props, costume and lighting- Dom
We chose Dom to sort out the props as we thought he will know what is best to purchase for each scene. We will all pay towards things equally and all have the end decision of what to buy.


Location-Harj
We thought as a group that Harj should take on the role of location as we thought it would be something challenging for him to take on. It will be my job to find out all the information and contact members if we want to use something they own.



Cinematography- Mike- Harj
Me and Mike chose to do Cinematography as we knew what shots will suit our video. We will have to see which shot is best for the location and do our best in producing the best shot.



Editing- All
We will all take on the job of editing as it will be good for everyone to play apart in this.

Digipak Analysis



This is the digipak analysis that we had done and we recorded it on a green screen, so we can put the photo of the Boyz II Men digipak on it.

Google Calender


This is a google calendar our group has set up so we can all keep in touch and this will make sure we know what we have to do by when. This is a back-up diary, just incase someone forgets what we are doing on that day. We are going to try and stick to the calendar as much as we can and keep updating it regularly.

Photo Animatic

This is our photo animatic that we have made on Final Cut Pro. This is our final complete version. Our first copies shots were too long, so we had to cut some shots up and add a few more in, so it makes it more appealing for the viewers and so they do not lose interest.

The worst thing for a music video is if it seems as if it is dragging. Also, as we are creating a digipack for our artist, we need the video to be interesting so people will not only just want the CD, they will want to music video.

Audience Profile



We decided to make an audience profile for our artist 'Chanele' and we think it is very eye appealing and it contains a lot of information on the audience we are aiming for.

Music Video Brief



This is the powerpoint presentation that me and my group made and this about our artist and everything to do with our music video ideas.

The presentation includes a brief, information about the artist, location, the narrative and the target audience. The presentation is in rough detail of what we are planning to do, how and where.
