Video blog 1 - what we have done so far

This is a video blog explaining what we have done so far in the pre production of our music video. This explains, who we will use for our music video (band members and narrative actors, aswell as who will be featured in the photographs for our ancillary tasks.) 



Our Pitch

This is a footage from the pitch we as a group presented to our teachers with our initial ideas for the project, it shows the research we carried out with to get started on the project as well as the development process through to storyboarding and using Adobe Photoshop to design our logo for Paramore. 

Story boarding

Working as a group we started story boarding for our music video Misery Business. This is a very fast up tempo song so we story boarded around 50 shots. This was a sufficient amount for our basic plan of the music video but we know when it comes to editing we should have about 200 shots. This was a very helpful exercise, as throughout the process we were brain storming ideas, adapting the story boards as we went through to get the shots that would make our video as strong as possible. I have scanned in a few of the story boards we have drawn up as well as two images of our group working in the process. From left to right Joanna Sibley (me) Georgina Kerwin, Paul Healey and Hannah Vandervennin taking the photograph.

Production schedule

We set ourselves target dates of when things have to be done by, so we are organised and know that everything that needs to be is done we created a production schedule. By using a production schedule we will be able to create our music video to the best of our abilities, by keeping on track with tasks that have to be done e.g. planning and research, story boarding, pitches, photography, filming, editing.
