Performance Plan

-

Performance plan:

We will be cross cutting between performance and narrative. We decided that we are going to shoot performance first as it will require the most organisation. 
  • We plan to shoot it on the 29th of October- As it is a day in which all band members are free and have access to transport us to out location with all the props. No weather forecast check is required as this will all be shot inside. 

List of people involved: 

  • Luke Whittaker- Lead singer. Luke was chosen to be the lead singer as he has the "edgy" look that we wish to accomplish with the band. He reflects the style of the genre we wish to achieve. 
  • Hollie Wistow - Guitarist/ Camera work- We chose to have a female band member as to add diversity in that the majority of people involved in indie rock are males. 
  • Joe Godber - Guitarist -
  • Sarah Tennant- Camera work/ Lighting

Props:

Because our music video has a huge element of performance we decided to have a band. This meant that for props we had to gather instruments that suited our song hence the Microphone, electric guitar, drums and symbol. We wanted this to look authentic so used the real instruments that can be heard in the song:

Location:

We plan on using a garage as it will provide a metallic grungy backdrop for the band, corresponding to the indie rock genre. It will also enable us to use the lighting effectively as it will be pitch black and thus the colors of the lights will be very vibrant. In the garage there will also be a smoke machine which make the performance look more dramatic and professional. 



Costumes: 

Akin to the indie rock genre we have selected a range of clothing that will fit. Both males in the band will wear ripped jeans and boots, providing that "edgy" and effortless look. Alongside simple T-shirts and wrist bands. The female guitarist will wear a leather jacket, black dress and a choker to create consistency with the style.

Here is a rough sketch of the costumes the band will wear: 

Equipment:

  • Camera : Used to shoot our footage. We decided to use this camera due to its SD card port which will make it easier to transfer our clips over to premiere pro. It also, shoots in high quality unlike other shooting equipment available to us like a mobile phone.
  • Tripod: Used to stabilize the camera in order to prevent the footage being shaky. We will use this tripod as it is the one that fits the best with the camera, but also, has extendable legs. This means that we will be able to get a range of shots from different positions and angles. 
  • Lights: As the location will be dark we will provide our own lights, it has many different colors that we will use when shooting. These will be used to enhance the atmosphere of our shots and create a consistent theme.
  • Smoke machine: Use to create smoke to give the performance a grungy vibe.

EVALUATION QUESTION 3

EVALUATION QUESTION 3 "what have you learned from your audience feedback?"  The third evaluation question asks what i have learned from my audience feedback, so in response i record three peoples reactions to my music video, followed by questions to evaluate it and my ancillary products. As well as this, i conducted an in-class focus group from fellow media students on how to improve my music video during the final stages of the editing process. The sample that used worked well as the majority of them fell in my target audience demographic.  From the feedback, it was clear that my products have been successful in creating a recognizable band identity that is established between all three of my final products. As well as, those who watched the video and looked at my products were successfully able to deduce that it was a product of the indie rock.  However, it was found that there is some room for improvement that was suggested by my audience feed back...

Music Video Analysis

Music Video Analysis Additional Analysis:  You Me At Six- Lived a lie:  This music video is from indie rock band "You Me At Six", i have chosen to look more into this genre as it is the one i intend to use for my own music videos. Therefor, analyzing this will allow me too see the typical codes and conventions of the genre. Camera:  The video opening focuses on the lead vocalist as seen through a medium shot, which empathizes Goodwin notion of "Star Power" as he is the front man for the band and thus the one that audiences are more likely to recognize. The camera then quickly moves to a range of shots, with many extreme close ups on the lead singers face such as his eyes. It makes the video feel quite intimate to watch, as the singer seems to be vulnerable. Within the shots he looks sad or in pain. Allowing for those watching to feel more connected due to his emotion and vulnerability. The video initially begins in a studio as shown through the canv...
