Filming day 1

Today was our first day of filming for our music video, we designated the first day of filming to shoot the polaroid's, and we decided as a group that the location for these shots would be Matlock Bath. We spent approximately 3 hours at this location, from 12pm-4pm. From this we managed to shoot a range of burst shots from many different angles and background locations in order to provide us with a wide range to chose from when putting them into the music video.
Due to the fact these shots needed to be bursts, in order to capture every movement, we used my Iphone to take the pictures, this meant we didn't need to hire any equipment. In terms of props we just needed the artist in day to day clothes, which was pretty simple, Eloise wore a dress, coat, and hat, portraying herself as the average young woman walking through an every day environment.


Here is what we managed to film/capture:
We got 15 burst shots in total, these all conducted of approximately 150 photos in each shot which captured everyone movement. This proved very effective as it was the perfect look we had imagined prior to the first day of filming. By having such a huge variety of every shot we found this really helped us to portray the emotions of the artist when turning them into polaroid's.
The 15 different burst were all taken from different angles and locations around Matlock Bath, some of them featured the artist, and others with the main focus being the setting, the use of Mise-En-Scene ensured we denoted the emotions of the artist in a similar way to what the song is denoting.


We have planned the polaroid's to be a huge, and outstanding part of our music video, which is why getting such a huge variety of shots is important. The next process is going to involve individually turning each shot into a polaroid, and then cutting it down to a short clip, and placing them all together, which is where we will then add it to the music video. This process is going to be very time consuming and rather stressful as the pictures look the same, until played together, meaning ensuring we aren't repeatedly doing the same picture or missing any out will be stressful. However I strongly believe that this effect will pay off by the end of the process.


Below I have attached some images of the different places we took the polaroid's so you can all get the gist of what is happening.





I will be sure to update you on how the process goes with the polaroid's, and also update you on the next filming day! See you all soon.

Polaroid Practice Shots

Hey guys, so we've came up with our music video idea which is going to be including polaroid's, which means we need some serious practice with these throughout until the time of our main production. We had a first attempt just in school, we then used an app to give the images the polaroid effect, which I think worked well,especially for the first attempt. However we are still going to be exploring a variety of ways to give the effect to see which works best. This means we will be taking many more pictures in order to test what works best in order to create the best project for out A2 piece.

One Page Pitch Video

This is our One Page Pitch, where we have presented the ideas we came up with to our Media teacher 'Record company manager'  and faced many questions to see if he thought our production ideas are creative and of a good quality. By watching this you will be able to explore our ideas and get the gist of our production.

CD cover shots

Ok guys so we have been practicing shooting some CD cover shots, which we will then by photo shopping so we can get the real gist of what it entails to create a good CD cover. All the shots we took were on the same background, however they are all different poses, which was purposely done to represent different genres, and show how different genres present their style of music with certain iconic looks and themes. The pictures are listed below, I shall let you guess which ones go with what genre, feel free to comment lol;) On one of my next posts you will be able to see what we created using Photoshop, and you can see if you guessed the pictures to the genres correctly!
