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.

Marketing

Hey guys! Today I am going to focus on the marketing of our company. Marketing is a very important aspect. Promotional strategies and marketing go hand in hand. Marketing our company and artists will involve different aspects of manufacturing, promoting and selling the artists and our company products to the target market. In order to benefit from audiences to the best we can, we have to first of all understand the target market we are entering. Having a solid and well-thought-out marketing plan can help you identify gaps in the music industry and provide feasible solutions for your clients. Understanding what our customers want and are missing is essential in the business. The 4 P's are the most important  part in the marketing process: Product - The product is going to be our artist herself, Sav (played by Eloise) and the album/music she creates. In many ways this can be seen as not only providing a product for consumers, but also a service, Music i...

Breathe Me- Final piece

We have finally finished our music video, which as you know we did to 'Breathe Me' by Sia, however Savannah our artist recreated it. The SaltSisters worked hard along with Savannah to achieve the look she wanted. The genre we went for was a combination of pop and indie, which I believe combined and worked well in the music video. I am going to upload the video for you all to see, so feel free to comment and give us any feedback, as audience feedback is key to growing and improving in this industry! As always the products never turn out as you picture them in your head, things go wrong, some things work better than others and you generate new ideas and play with different effects along the way. The shot list doesn't look extremely accurate now, however sticking to the original plan completely would be boring and we wouldn't have created the music video we have today if that was the case.We have conducted this task to the best of our ability and believe we have came ou...
