Video shooting - BTS Footage

This video displays all the behind the scenes footage of my group and I when we were filming. Ollie took most of the shots here so that the action of filming our music video could be seen. In this, it portrays that not only are we shooting the video, we had fun along the way. It allows us to see where whether we went wrong anywhere on the previous day of filming so that we could fix it for the next day.

Shooting/Production Schedule

Below shows the shooting/production schedule as well as the emails of each member in the group in case we needed to contact each other and tell them we'd be late or couldn't make the day.  We also had each others emails so that we could arrange the times to meet. Usually it was after school or on a Saturday, therefore, suggesting we just had to keep that day free.

From doing this, I have learnt that organisation is key when making a music video or any media text because otherwise, if we weren't organised we wouldn't have got our video shot and edited on time.

Costumes and Props

For this task, I made two pages of possible outfits that the cast would wear within the music video. As there are a wide range of choices of outfits that could fit music artist and the other actors around him. I had to narrow it down to three options for the main characters in the video. I have emailed this to the rest of the group and we will then discuss the costumes for each character as a group so we all come to a mutual agreement and create the best possible look for each person. 

I have learnt that as there is a lot of choice for the wardrobe, in order to get the best option, speaking to the rest of the group will help as we will decide which outfit will suit the characters best.

These are the main props that we will have within our music video. The reason I have chosen these props along with my group all have different reasons. We picked a guitar and drum set due to the fact that we are going to have shots of the band 'performing' and we would need instruments for them to play on to look like they're either processing for a performance or performing for an audience. Gel will be used for when Sean gels his hair back in order to look like a boy in a band as well as looking 'cool.' In the narrative parts of the video, Sean will have a cigarette in is hand to portray that he is a smoker, this is essential as it embraces the stereotype of a young lad in a band. He will also have his phone in the piece in order to look through it when walking, again, embracing the stereotype. The last prop shown on the page is the house number, 505. We will need this number to be shown as it is ultimately the name of a song, nevertheless, we are using this number to be the number of the house that the girlfriend lives at in order to link it together with the title of the song.

Casting

I created this image using Canva and put everyone on the page who will be involved in the film. We, as a group have chosen Sean to play our main singer of the band as he has the right look: brown hair, very defined facial features and this is one of the reasons that fans would like him as an artist and would therefore purchase the songs he makes. We decided to use the people in the group as we thought we looked right in terms of casting for the actors in it. Yasmin will be acting as main camera, nevertheless, when we have to shoot inserts, the other members in my group and myself will have a go at filming and learning how the camera works.
