Construction: Update
So far, this is the shots of the music video that we have put together, the video shows the beginning, though we're not certain of adding another scene into the music or before it, and also at around 43 seconds the sequence ends and shows other scenes we had completed filming for but should come later in the song.
We have all but 2 sets of filming left to do, the performance scene which we had some issues with but seem to have resolved, I will go into more detail about this in another post after refilming.
We also have to reshoot the fighting/breakup scene as the way we filmed it included a mirror behind one of the actors and we aren't sure of how it looks, and the angle we decided to film at meant that the light from the window, though we shut the blinds was behind the actors creating a dull image.
By the end of next week we should have ALL of the shots finished and it will just be a case of fitting them together.
Production Schedule 14th-20th
This week because of exams we will find it difficult to find time to film, however the weekend seems the perfect time because all the people we need will be free on Sunday.
Therefore on Sunday we will be filming:
Scene 1: Break up.
Scene 11: Big Bad Wolf.
Scene 13: Mirror Mirror.
For these scenes characters will need every day clothing and also their flash back costumes as the first scene is a current day and the others are memories.
In addition to this I need to use a wolf mask.

This week.
This week there are numorous things that need to be done to work on the project, specifically the ancillary tasks.
I need to continue research I have been doing and document by scanning the digipaks I have found at home and wish to use as analysis.
I also need to look at the corresponding advertisements / posters for the same albums as I can then look into the way they are linked and similar, and also find the differences I need to include.
For the production work we need to make a new time table for this month and next in which all of the filming needs to be completed.

AFL: Blog Reflection
Within the class I have had another person look at my blog, to see what works and what doesn't, what I was told was that the multimedia aspect of my blog was good, however the number of posts I had were limited, this is probably because rather than update with small posts I save things up and make them into one long post.
We also looked at the criteria needed for research and planning, and looking at the Level 4 section, to make my research and planning up to that standard I need to:
We also looked at the criteria needed for research and planning, and looking at the Level 4 section, to make my research and planning up to that standard I need to:
- Have some more research into my potential target audience
- Show the storyboard in still form
- Possibly add more research into existing products
- Research my responsibilties and explain how I am completing them more clearly.
Directors Edit Scenes two and three.
As soon as we finished filming all the shots for each scene I have been quickly editing them together so that I can see how they link and make sure that we don't need to refilm.
This is what I have so far:
This is what I have so far:
Exsisting Digipaks - The Lumineers - Self Titled.
Front and Back
IMAGE:
Black and white image of a small girl. As this is their debut album they themselves aren't recognisable so it isn't important they are on the front. The colour scheme stands out as it is very simple.
TEXT:
Album Title and Artist Name:
Both the same, debut albums are often self titled to make a name known.
Track List:
Simple in one font.
Production Info:
Small and at the bottom.

Existing Digipaks - P!nk - Funhouse.
Front and Back
IMAGE:
Shows the artist, she's depicted on a carousel horse which relates the album title. She's showing a lot of flesh, something she's almost got a reputation for, but also it attracts people to the album cover.
The background is bright stripes you would probably associate with a carnival or amusement park, and within those 'pink' is repeated.
The image on the back similarly shows the artist in little clothing and it has an old style feel about it.
TEXT:
Artists Name and Album Name:
Important for recognition, are the same size as each other and by comparison much smaller than the image of the artist.
Track List:
Varies in fonts but only a few still used, and they stick with the carnival, circus theme.
Production Info:
Small and to the side/ bottom along with the logos of the companies involved.
STICKER:
Known singles on the album, font on the sticker larger than the album name font.

CD:
Another image of the artist, bright against background.
Exsisting Digipaks - Newton Faulkner- Rebuilt by Humans

TEXT:

Artist name:
Important for potential buyers, helps recognise whose album it is.
Album name:
Again important for potential buyers, helps recognise the album.
The album name follows from his debut album 'hand built by robots'.
Track List:
Lets audience know which number song is which, also important for in stores, helps identify singles and well known songs that may encourage someone to buy it.
Distribution Info:
Small as it is not the most important to all audiences. When made, who by and copyright info.
LOGOS:Produced by, companies involved in making the album.
STICKER:Mentions a coiple of singles to encourage buyers. Bigs up the album previously released.

Repeat of the silhouette of the artist.
Video Blog 1- Scene 2.
Above is a video blog of my thoughts on the experience. I plan to do these for every shoot we do.
We filmed up the stairs where the arrow points, I also labelled the shop as Retro as that it what it now is.
The satellite view of where we filmed.
Narrative Overview.
The music video will be based around the idea of fairy tales. The iconic objects or characters being a way to spark the main characters memory into looking back at her past, which after this she regrets. The main character begins to understand why her relationship began to suffer and the fairy tale element hints at what was previously what she thought was perfect (like a fairy tale.
Each memory will show the relationship between the main character and her fiance from the point they met to the point they broke up with each flashback getting progressively more upsetting for the character.
I have constructed a basic list of the memories and iconic fairy tale items and characters we will be using as the plot for this music video.
