Teaser Trailer

Changes made along the way.

A few changes were made throughout the making of our music video. We changed the whole of the idea earlier on before making the first storyboard. The first idea had more narrative then performance, we didnt have the location to be able to film the ideas that we had come up with. Our new idea was to have more performance then narrative as we knew straight away the location we was going to use. The new idea that we are come up with filmed straight away after filling out the risk assesment. When we knew the location we were filming and the ideas that we had we then had to make the storyboard.  The storyboard had to be re done as the first storyboard that we had made it didnt have enough detail in and the pictures werent clear. We then had to re do all the storyboard to make sure it was clear enough to understand what each shot had shown.
The costume along the way of the perfomance based filming had to be changed as it was to casual, we had to change it so the artist looked more smart and formal.
An important thing that had to be changed was the photo on the gallery page within the website. The picture were really moody and looked like he wasnt ejoying himself. We then took more pictures when doing the performance based filming at the right location and this made it look more professional.

feedback.

This is some of the feeback that we got back from our presentaion to the rest of the class. We took this on board and changed some of the ideas that we had come up with.

Filming in progress

Filming

 When starting to film on the first day for our music video, we had difficulty because of the weather. In the location that we had planned to film there had been a flood by the river. Because of this Jack had to get into the river to be able to filk Nicks performance. This gave the performance base a good result as of filming due to the unique location.

 

Letter to Atlantic Records

This is a letter to ask permission out of respect to Atlantic Records and their ownership of 'Thinking Out Loud'. We asked in necessary to use the song for our Music Video.

risk assesment

This is the risk assesment of our music video that was created by Jack. this has analyzed all the risks that could happen within our music video filming.

Location shots

Storyboard voiceover

This is our first story board voiceover. We had to change this voiceover because the images of each shot werent accurate enough to see what was going on. All the shots are still the same and they are going to be drawn out again so that people can see the images clearly in each shot.

Website Development

Steal O Matic

This is a steal o matic of our music video. We took other videos that we had found that were similar to our own and put them all together. You will see during the steal o matic it shows the abusive relationship that will be in our video, also the solo performance, loving performance, and same genre. All these videos were from different music artists and videos.

Half way presentations.

7 day diary

Pete Fraser media talk.

We spent one of our Friday mornings talking to a Pete Fraser who gave us a lot of advice for our music videos, told us things we should and shouldn't do and how we would get the most marks. He told us a lot of information that we could add onto our blogs to make sure that we get better marks and try and get up to 100 posts.

Music artist interview & Images

When making a website we had to include different subjects that a music artist would have on their own website. For our music artist Nicholas Alexander we had a interview with radio 1 about the new album coming out in the spring 2015.
An interview was not the only thing we had to add to the website. We also had to add a lot of information about the music artist and how music was such a important thing in his life. Here you can see some of the images that have been included on the website of Nicholas Alexander.

Here you can see some of the images that are on the website that is advertising Nicholas Alexander as a new music artist. The images to the left is Nicholas Alexander himself with his manager Jack Jordan.








Here are some individual picture of Nicholas Alexander by himself. These picture were taken whilst Nicholas was looking for locations to film his music videos for his album, N/A. All these pictures are on the gallery page of the website created for the new music artist.

Self evaluation

Two great strengths

• Being able to make a new website form scratch for the music artist. It being appropriate and up to standard with the rest of the group.
• Having motivation within the group to get tasks done quickly but to good standard.

Skills that need to be worked on

• Not agreeing with other group members ideas.
• Being more confident in front of the camera when filming. 

Something you have learned from group members, that you wouldn't of been able to do on your own 

• Ideas that i wouldnt of thought of that git well with the song.

Any changes that would improve performance within the group

• Better idea that would work well with everyone in the group.

Group meeting tasks.

Half way through our music video tasks we filled in a table about how we are getting on with the group members we are working with, and how they are doing within certain tasks.
