Filming- done!

All my filming now is done with some extra material just in case I change certain bits of my music video, but also I have footage to play around with now to get what in my actual music video and most of my shots link in with the lyrics directly or indirectly. So now all of my filming is done its time to go back to school and start my editing processes by cutting down my length of shots or adding things in and taking it in professional and practical manner, and I am able to achieve the things I wanted to with the music video now as I have the footage to do it with.

Filming- done!(nearly there)

Today I was able to shoot near enough all of my music video as it was a great day for filming and my actresses were willing to do things I asked from them, and now I have my raw music video footage to use for my actual music video and fit it along with the music in the editing stage when I get back to school with it now and start editing and playing with it so it looks professional and looks good, but also makes it entertaining for my audience to watch as well as I will have to choose different editing techniques carefully so it looks modern and not childish. Just need to film the last shots which are indoors now and then my music video footage will be done.

Meeting with the characters- sorting things out

Today I am speaking with my actresses again who have been able to be in my music video and we were talking about what I want each of them to do in music video and what sort of facial expressions and things I need from them , also we have sorted out a date, which is going to be the Monday when we are filming the music video as its had good weather given out for the whole day which is great as the good weather is something that is very key in my music video, but even if the weather was bad it would still in anyway with the music video and link to the lyrics and Monday is a day where both of my actresses are free together so I can shoot quiet a bit of my music video.

What I am doing now ??

Now I have everything planned , I am now prepared to film my music video as I have my location sorted out and I have permission to use the house as its someones private property. I also have my actresses sorted out now so that I can film them in my music video, the props are also have been sorted out for my characters to use in the music video. The equipment I have now to to the actually filming of my music video. So I am prepared to film my music video, and if the weather will be nice it will be even better so now I am ready to go out and film my actual footage, and create a something that with be both entertaining but something my audience can relate to which will make the music video more enjoyable.

Props- Car

Another key prop I need to use is car which I have sorted to use for my music video as it fits in with the lyrics of my music video and it links with the happy ending at the end of my music video where my parent and teenage character will be driving away in the distance at the end of the music video and its happy atmosphere and it shows a link with the lyrics with the car prop. It will also make the audience a lot happier at the end, and it shows that characters have made up now and the audience will be able to relate back to it.

Props- the letter

For my music video I have got a letter I can use and also envelope that I will be using in the music video which is the turning point and very much a key item in my music video as it changes the whole mood of the video and also changes the characters approach and feelings and makes the video also change its atmosphere, but it links in the main theme of the music video the 'bad day' and it also links with the lyrics in the music video. It shows that my props also add humour, but also link back the lyrics in the music video so everything can link back the lyrics which is the important part of my music video. I also I have an idea in the music video to either show the letter that my actress is reading so the audience can see whats wrong etc, but I could also not show the letter and had some mystery to it but because my character will be upset so my audience can see the letter is something unexpected , and we are put then in the shoes of the character because she doesn't know what the letter is until she opens it, so the audience can see it from my characters point of view. So it gives me something to consider, and gives me some more ideas.

Mock up further on

This is my CD cover with added doodles and writ ting on it to make it busier looking and shows more of characters feelings as its on scrap paper or diary like and it shows doodles on there that relate back the music video with some of the things that are written to link some scenes etc, it also relates back to my character and how she is feeling in the music video, but furthermore it links and relates back to the my target audience as it quiet modern. Also this has come from some of CD covers I have researched, and I wanted to do something different from the original Bad Day CD cover, but its sort of similar because the original uses a scene out the music video which is something I am doing here but its something completely different.
