Preliminary exercise: Research and planning

-

 1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

Kehlani - Everything.


2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene. 

This video has a performance element which is really cool and simplistic as it was filmed during lockdown so it doesn't include much. The editing at the beginning is something I love the idea of the google search is so cool.

 
- I really love the bedroom theme idea
-Low lighting/Pink LEDS
-Not many people featured in the video
-Very simplistic                                                                                                         

 
-Again i love the simplicity 
 -Low lighting 
-The close ups in the beginning are also cool

3) Write your music video treatment (this is basically a script for your music video). You can find an example of a treatment here.

Scene 1: Camera slowly zooms into artist on the bed as she makes eye contact with the camera
lighting will be low and leds will be on 

Scene 2: Artist walking up the street twirling and happy (symbolising the person she loves is giving her everything)

Scene 3:Artist meets the boy she loves and they make eye contact and hold hands

4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative filmmaking but the same format can be used for any video project). 

Shot No.

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting.

Artist going to wear a dress on the bed scene (flowery dress) glam makeup 
Hair is going to be curly , low lighting going to have pink LEDs of to symbolise by artist is feminine 

Outside shots artist going to wear a black dress with straight hair and glam makeup , (dark lighting as its going to be evening)


6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange. 
 
Were going to film sometime this week 
I think I'm going to shoot on my phone as its easier to handle and take outside.
Artist: Amanpreet
I'm doing a simple shoot as it fits the song so as of now I don't think I need to arrange any aspects. 
Boy:Not sure yet

Sound analysis: blog tasks

-
  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClfDIu7C8SM Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Parallel and contrapuntal sound Sound bridges Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music Dialogue Voiceover Sound effects Within  this short clip of Stranger Things, there is diegetic sound of the female character breathing, this is significant as it is the only diegetic sound and focuses the attention of the viewers on to her breathing suggesting that she is could be frightened by the situation she is in. Also, the non diegetic sound of the tearing and the beating sound sort of like a heart beat of a living being again focuses the viewers attention on the sound because it was very loud and repetitive. These sounds are parallel to the clip because it suits the narrative but also contributes to the

Statement of Intent feedback and learner response

-
 Comments for AQA:   This is the beginning of a good statement of intent with clear potential to reach the higher levels if it were complete with added clarity/detail. There is a strong concept here which is clearly well thought out. The statement offers a concept that largely meets the brief but currently doesn’t address the print aspect.  Industry element is a real strength with discussion of a small independent record company. However, lacking reference to digital convergence for the higher levels. Media language elements addressed in places with reference to shots and elements of mise-en-scene but lacking the detail or explanation required for the top levels. Print brief element lacking – statement unfinished. Similarly, very little on how representations will be created. This is a key area holding this back from the higher levels. Audience element stronger early on but later seems unfinished.   Feedback:

Film poster analysis

  .BLADE RUNNER ANALYSIS    I think that this film is a sci-fi film due to the use of the colour scheme and the props. The use of the colours like white and green and a little bit of blue suggests that the film is going to be about a powerful man who is trying to save the world  from something evil(maybe aliens). The use of the close up shot of what looks like the main character can imply how he's going to be the main protagonist of the film and the person we see the film through (his perspective) That shot can also communicate his facial expressions to the audience as he looks a little distressed(due to him sweating) but ready to taken on whatever is on his way. He looks powerful. This perfectly enhances the stereotype of men being strong and powerful. He looks like hes doing a great job at what he's doing ,due to him sweating it illustrates to us an audience  that he's putting his blood, sweat and tears in.This movie seems to be set in 1980's. I can clearly see this i
