Coursework Planning

*****I WAS GIVEN THE CHOICE TO DO ANY GENERA I WANTED TO AND I HAD THE OPTION TO WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE*****


Coursework Planning



Practice Task (Lip syncing)

When we did this practice task we were given the choice to do anything we wanted. I decided that I wanted to do a one minute music video, as this would allow me to work on my lip syncing skills

I chose the song because it was an upbeat song and it had a slow but funky beat to it.
To keep the video stable i tried using a electronic gimbal. I think that from the results i received using this device i would like to use this device in my final music video.


Practice Task (Recreation)

To work on different shot types i decided that i would create a 30 second recreation of an existing music video, to do this is used the "Footloose" music video. This helped me try and stick to timings for the different shot changes. Below is the finished video, as you can see this is very similar to the original video.







Idea's behind the music video
I would like the music video to have two actors who are meant to be shown as being in a relationship together, i would like it to be made up out of a series of adverts, with shopping as the main theme. I want to cut between different adverts and use indoor and outdoor shots to confuse the viewers in an attempt to disorientate them. I would like to use "Marmite" this can be used to show the love and hate relationship between the two actors. This will give the music video a hidden meaning and allow the audience to try and uncover the meaning being it.

Initial plan
This is my initial plan for my music video



Website
I want to set out my website in a different way to a regular band website. I would like it to be more of a product web page to be within fitting with the product idea of my music video. This would ensure media convergence between the two, allowing the audience to understand that the music video is the same style as the website. To do this i could use pop-up ads on the website as this would infer the pushy sales techniques that are normally used on adverts. The entire website can be shopping themed, so the tour can also be shopping themed with shopping related names. For example the about section could be called "Nutritional information" as this would link to the video

Website photos
My website will have photos of the band members that links to the original video, this will help again with media convergence as it shows its the same people. This might also encourage people to want to watch the video so i will add a teaser video onto the website with a link to the full one that will be on YouTube.


Storyboard
To help me understand the different shot types that i need i have created a storyboard full of initial ideas, this helps me to understand which parts i need to film and also will help me when editing to know what order the clips should be in.









Risk Assessment 
Before i film i have created this risk assessment as it allows me to understand the risks that are involved and allows me to correct this before i start filming, this ensures better safety for everyone involved and helps the production to go smoothly. The first part identify's the risks involved with filming and producing the website and the second part is what measures i will take to minimise these risks to the actors and crew.
