of producing my media products. Although it was frustrating to be told that
something didn’t look as good as it could after I’d spent so long on it, I was
grateful for feedback. I found that as I spent a lot of time looking at and
editing my products it was always a good idea to get a fresh perspective on
something in order to keep me on track. At times, feedback also made me feel
better about my work; if I felt something wasn’t that good but got positive
feedback, it made me feel more motivated to bring all of my tasks up to a high
standard.</span></span></span></span><br />

class. After listening to each other’s tracks, we took it in turns to ‘pitch’
our thoughts and ideas for our own videos. Members of the group then offered
ideas on what they agreed or didn’t agree with, or how we could make our videos
more exciting or authentic. Some comments I received during our focus group a shown below in a short cartoon.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also asked my class to help me decide on names for the band, album and song. I chose a shortlist of my favourite and simply asked each person in the class which was their favourite. However, I had to make sure that I explained the genre of my band, so people didn't simply chose a random name because it sounded nice - it had to 'fit the job description'.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feedback was also invaluable when it came to creating my ancillary tasks. After creating a mock-up magazine advert in black, white and red I was told by more than one person that it looked to much like a 'Twilight' themed poster. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I began creating a new advert from scratch, looking closely at adverts from the same genre. Once I'd finished a few versions I asked for feedback on them. People were genuinely impressed with all versions but I just couldn't decide which looked the best. This was where the feedback got complicated. Everyone had different opinions on which poster was most effective, no one could decide on the same one.</span></span></div>

Generally people said that they thought the band name should be at the top so that you see it almost straight away, which lead me to changing it from the bottom of the poster to the top.</div>

I also asked people what they thought would be a good prize for my website competition. Most people said a meet and greet with the band, so I added this to my competition page too.<br />
<br />
I also asked for feedback throughout the process of editing my footage for the final music video. I am really glad that I did this - rather than waiting until I'd finished - as it was important for my narrative to make sense to the audience. After a draught screening it became apparent that my first edit was much too choppy with regards to the narrative; it just didn't flow. I shuffled a lot of my narrative footage around, putting in alternative footage and cutting other bits out. Although this was quite disheartening, as I'd spent a lot of tim on the first edit, I realised that I had the narrative in my head anyway and my audience were looking at it with fresh eyes and a different point of view. After completing my second edit I asked the same group of people to re-watch it. They agreed that this time the narrative made a lot more sense.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I had completely finished editing my video, it was uploaded to YouTube. I could then add a link to a status update on my Facebook and ask family and friends to give me feedback. It was really positive to see that people enjoyed watching my video and that they understood the concept of it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feedback from my audience really shaped the way that I thought about my products and ultimately how they ended up looking! I learned to go against my judgement at times and listen to what other people had to say.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ultimately record labels want to sell their artists
and the best way of doing this (especially with female artists) is to show them

Ideally I wanted to film it outside, but due to weather conditions and the difficulty of moving instruments outside, I decided that it would be much more sensible to film inside! This also meant more control of lighting, which - from watching Alternative Rock music videos - seems to be a crucial part of the performances.<br />
There were two main music video's which influenced the type of lighting and shots I wanted to capture.<br />
<br />
<b>30 Seconds To Mars - Closer to the Edge</b><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mLqHDhF-O28" width="560"></iframe><br />
30 Seconds To Mars' music video for Closer to the Edge particularly inspired my choices of lighting and therefore the shots I wanted to capture. Although much of their performance was captured onstage, I wanted mine to be more of a 'studio' shoot. The first shot that really inspired my whole idea was<br />

As the singer steps up the the microphone, we can see the outline of his face and hair. It adds a sense of mystery to begin with, the identity of the singer is somewhat masked, yet the shot is beautiful and dark. I really wanted to create a shot like this, although not exactly the same. This meant that I would need some decent lights and a room that I could make as dark as possible! There was only one place I could really think of that was suitable - the school drama studio. As it already had proper lighting, was painted black and had black-out curtains. It also had a computer in it, which meant that I could play the track straight from it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQwx7tOoD-Yy-T7s_fpV6iKtXXZIfFvN9n9LsV4TjZT9yDWYy9jLs6_TdrUs2TEnKEZbAmFQwC6I8bK0-t0_ruvNQYLfPy3u0D6svl9fp2n5cwxW1SlyGloiX6qtI-VseHde_u6jFQL4/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-25+at+13.07.42.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQwx7tOoD-Yy-T7s_fpV6iKtXXZIfFvN9n9LsV4TjZT9yDWYy9jLs6_TdrUs2TEnKEZbAmFQwC6I8bK0-t0_ruvNQYLfPy3u0D6svl9fp2n5cwxW1SlyGloiX6qtI-VseHde_u6jFQL4/s400/Screen+shot+2012-03-25+at+13.07.42.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Due to the build up of my track I wanted the performance to get more exciting throughout the video. It was decided that the band would all wear suits for the performance (luckily all of them owned one!). The performance would start of quite calm or 'chilled' and as the music built up, the guys would get more and more disheveled and sweaty. Of course, I didn't want them to get too worn out, as I wanted more than one take - so for the later parts of the performance I asked them to splash water onto themselves, so they appeared sweaty. I loved the effect the splashing water gave in the 30 Seconds to Mars video and wanted to achieve something similar. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When it came to the kind of band shots I wanted to get I looked at a video of You Me At Six performing. I wanted to capture some different angles of both the performers <i>and </i>the instruments. Close-ups were a must of the band's faces and the instruments - especially hands and eyes!<br />

None of the boys are actually in a band, they're all from my class (with the exception of the drummer, my brother), but their performance was first class. It really helped that they all knew how to play their instruments as it made the performance so much more believable. Dan, the singer, was really busy with his own work in the lead up to filming, so he didn't manage to learn all the lyrics to my track. This was easy to overcome however, as I printed out the lyrics and stuck them to a white board in front of him. After a few rehearsals and test shots we just began. No one really knew how to properly use the lights but we managed to go crazy with them, whilst I was filming and this was extremely effective.<br />
<br />
We took three takes initially of the whole song. I also filmed some of Dan on his own as he approached the microphone (30 Seconds to Mars style) from different angles. Once we'd filmed the first three takes, I asked the guys to go to the bathroom and splash water on their faces and we took a further three takes as well as individual takes of each performer. I am really pleased with the band's performance as they really got into it and used as much energy as possible without getting too worn out! Even I was getting worn out from trying to capture it all on camera! During and after filming I also made sure to take plenty of photographs of the band which would be used for my website.<br />

This means that I can drive to Kristie's whenever she has any free time such as after school and at weekends. Using her house as the location also means that costumes and props are easily available to us. For example, in the shots where Kristie is dressing up, we can go through her clothes to find appropriate outfits that fit my ideas.<br />

Luckily it was large and light so I would be able to get different shots from different angles. I did worry that Kristie wouldn't have a large enough mirror for the shots I wanted to get, but it turned out that Kristie had a huge mirror opposite her bed! She also had lots of fashion magazines which I would need for my shots, so we spread these out on the bed in preparation for the first few shots. I also wrote a list of all the extra props I would need to take to Kristie's which included things like a set of weighing scales and a bag of chocolate.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>After Filming</b></div><div>In all, I did several sessions of filming with Kristie. As most days I went after school, it didn't stay light for very long so these sessions were quite short. Kristie was perfect to work with. Before we started filming each time, I would explain what I wanted Kristie to do, or in some cases show her. She was really willing to do whatever I wanted, even when she had to do it over and over, so that I could get the right shots.

I felt that the idea of direct exploitation is a very sensitive subject and I would have to be careful with how I went about filming it, as I had some trouble with my magazine advert; as it implied nudity I had to be very careful about who my model was.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img height="569" id="il_fi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoFTi04HEy9avlZyhw2JbNeNkx_eXMgnMaBLByP0nBsfRwZ05K9g8xAL4tPmGtCOndn9snx4KDiKpYR-b7ccgIiIjldPlBChxvv-2qXVEgle6Z2IjaWr54eN_IIssp_UsPDH3PC9b7j4M/s1600/26737621.jpeg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="456" /></div>I went back to the drawing board! I had recently watched an in-depth documentary on Channel 5 entitled "Kate Thorton - Anorexic: My Secret Past". It focused on the actresses childhood and teenage years, when the pressure of aspiring to be an actress caused her to develop Anorexia Nervosa. Again, I was reminded of the Dove advert for their campaign.<br />
<br />
Using the combined ideas of how advertising in the fashion industry puts pressure on girls to look good and the development of psychological disorders, I will still be able to use some of my original ideas. This means that I can safely explore the controversies and won't have to worry about representing something which is too risky! However, I still need to be sensitive about the subject and how I use Kristie to portray Anorexia and the causes.<br />

She was really willing to pose how I wanted and was comfortable with the shots. She is also 18 so there are no problems with the suggested nudity. I needed to take some test shots first to make sure the studio lighting was correct and that the camera was focused.</span><br />

It proved quite difficult to find them as many 'rock' magazines such as "Kerrang!" didn't actually feature any advert for albums. I had a look on the internet too, though the more common adverts were for the pop and RnB genres. Through research of these adverts however I found that many share the same image as the album cover. I think that I would like my advert image and digipak cover image to be the same or similar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some album covers taken from 'alternative rock' artists or similar genres.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have decided to go right back to basics and think about literal ideas of my band and album name. Obviously 'naked truth' can be represented quite literally, what with the basis of my video I thought it would be a fitting idea.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinJiUjQV2WpC7mszM7r7Zb7L5Txouq3D3DYDLL3PDhqKBPeCLEBSyFmZKbnrejefNG6buXY34oRS0ZI-I1qlZdgrQyXAfa6xOzAL7EmqKteX5-jF3wOXUm5wZcYgoICZnuy5ZUGCWrnvs/s1600/51lNnCoDhDL__SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinJiUjQV2WpC7mszM7r7Zb7L5Txouq3D3DYDLL3PDhqKBPeCLEBSyFmZKbnrejefNG6buXY34oRS0ZI-I1qlZdgrQyXAfa6xOzAL7EmqKteX5-jF3wOXUm5wZcYgoICZnuy5ZUGCWrnvs/s1600/51lNnCoDhDL__SL500_AA300_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cover above also inspired me. I really love the idea of using a sign with the album name written on it. I really want to make two signs out of cardboard; one that says "Naked" and the other "Truth". I want them to be held over a woman's body, the first to cover her breasts and the second to cover her bottom half. Although she will appear to be naked behind the signs, she won't be.</span></div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05687783321870778119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900704968984437909.post-36911429421286608012011-11-13T14:09:00.000-08:002011-11-13T14:11:06.224-08:00Logos and Magazine Adverts<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After choosing what my band would be called a began to experiment with some logos which I could use on the magazine advert and the digipak.

Storyboard<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I've begun to really plan what shots I want in my video, I have found it increasingly difficult to log them. I started to create a storyboard, but I found that it took much too long and it was hard to decide which shots could go where. I just couldn't create a sequence of drawings. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then decided to have a look at shot lists. I created a template on Word which I could fill in as I came up with shot ideas:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Fo-KHrjotC7JZiAdnb9xAzSs4yo0LyXClBMgopHmGbAPJVaQXOfj42W8eVWIxRjz6tSvXVbNv1jIqqd6uUtbjhVh9raoeYFYcLWi6x_OMtoMVW5rsBZz_8OTeKx0hU8lE_1ZOO8XvjI/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-11-03+at+19.56.55.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Fo-KHrjotC7JZiAdnb9xAzSs4yo0LyXClBMgopHmGbAPJVaQXOfj42W8eVWIxRjz6tSvXVbNv1jIqqd6uUtbjhVh9raoeYFYcLWi6x_OMtoMVW5rsBZz_8OTeKx0hU8lE_1ZOO8XvjI/s640/Screen+shot+2011-11-03+at+19.56.55.png" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found it much easier using the shot list, because I want many of my shots and cuts to coincide with the beats of the song. This means that the shot list is precise and I can shoot efficiently. It can also be used during the editing process. To fill it in I listened to the music, looked at the lyrics and visualised what I want to happen at certain points within the video.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the shot list has proved really effective, however I also like to sketch out a shot here and there to see what it would look like.</span>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05687783321870778119noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900704968984437909.post-5031671988190413842011-10-28T06:57:00.000-07:002011-10-28T07:08:13.749-07:00Shot IdeasWhilst watching last week's episode of 'Casualty', a sequence of shots caught my eye. The storyline has been on-going based on a ex-prostitute, Annie. At the beginning of the episode Annie was visited by another of the prostitutes who wanted to warn her to run away before their pimp found out where she was. It turns out that the pimp found Annie's house and was waiting there when the other prostitute turns up.<br />
<br />
I thought it was interesting how the different shots conveyed someone being watched, in a sinister way. I'd really like to try and create the same effect within my music video!<br />

It is also important that I look at contemporary examples of young girls in music videos.</div>Alicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05687783321870778119noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900704968984437909.post-71334489443344784952011-10-14T08:38:00.000-07:002011-10-15T09:37:20.324-07:00Location Shoot<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I changed my concept, I have also changed my location ideas! I still want to use a forest, however I thought that if I filmed in the forest near my house, it would be very difficult to carry all my equipment up there. I also wanted some bedroom and living room scenes, however I did not feel that my own house would be suitable. This is because it's very homely and it's clearly lived in by adults too. I want Kristie's character to come across as isolated - and thought a flat setting would suit my video a lot more; especially a messy, uncared for one. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then remembered about what could be the perfect location. At my Dad's work, there are some unused portacabins which were used for training purposes - set up like grotty flats! Even better, there is a small wood at the rear of the portacabins. I decided to go and have a look at both locations, to take some photographs and in order to get an idea of how I could use them!</span></div><div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I think these locations will be perfect! I can set up the portacabins however I would like and they are suitably grotty! One even had a bed in that I could use. I also like the look of the woods, they seem to be slightly more sinister than the forest near my house, as the trees are smaller and more gnarled looking. </span></span></span><br />
