Music Video Research

Location - 
Searching for a location, we had to think about what is going to suit our giving genre, 'Britpop'.
We thought about a field and dressing in traditional British clothing but that isn't relevant to our genre our my album cover. You have to take into consideration the BPM (Beats Per Minute) therefore our location has to suit our song and the tempo. We are thinking about using a dark room, and lighting it well with different techniques. A video that I want to try and light and edit like is "Life In Film- Sorry". This week we are going to head down to The Junction and see if we can use one of their studios to record our music video because it would be ideal because then we could solve our lighting issues as we would be using professional lighting and lighting crew. And if we fail to get The Junction as our location then we will try and use a room in the college which will allow us to use a smoke machine and our lighting which would also be borrowed from the college.


Props -  We will be using our own instruments for our performance. We will be using a Guitar, Bass, Mics, Drums. The cameras will be supplied from the college. The costumes will be supplied by ourselves, we had an idea to use the clothes we had in our Album Artwork for the Digipak. If not we will be following a smart style clothing from ourselves. Transporting the Drum Kit from 'over' is going to be our only problem but again if we could get The Junction then we wouldn't need to bring a Drum Kit. We are going to hire a smoke machine because we want to achieve the a great looking music video, also in this video the smoke really adds to the colour of which the film is shot in.

Schedule for this week - On tuesday I will be contacting the Junction to see if we can use the J3 (JUNCTION 3) to record our music video. And getting in contact with a company that will allow us to hire a smoke machine which we will be using. We will be doing some Advanced research on lighting just in case we cannot get the Junction as our venue. And just finishing off some final preparation before shooting our music video. For example, making a shot list a draft board of how we want our music video to look..
