Our Props list for our music video - 28/11/14

Our main character (Eoghain Kilbane) who will be portraying Sam Sparro will be seen in only one outfit throughout the whole of the video:

• Black suit trousers
• Black suit jacket
• White shirt
• Black tie
• Black smart shoes
• Slicked back, tidy hair
• Gold body paint (only at certain points in the video)
• No make up
• No jewellery

The mystery woman will also only be seen in one outfit:

• Gold dress
• Blonde/golden hair, neatly done up
• Gold shoes (heels)
• Gold body paint
• No jewellery
• Basic make up - face covered in gold paint

We will only be filming in one location, which will be a house. Other props include:

• Sparklers
• A bed
• Cup of water
• Gold paper stars
• Table

As we want our video to be as simple as possible, and we want the main focus to be on the two characters and their image/style, we're not going to use too many props that will make the video look too busy or steal the attention away.

Progess update - 27/11/14

In todays lesson, we had a look at the footage and started to edit. The footage we filmed on friday was actually really good and were happy with it, however, their are lots of stuff we want to change and improve, In order to improve our footage in tommorows period 5 lesson we are going to Christians to film more.

Filming first draft - 21/11/14

On friday, we filmed the start of our music video. We filmed at Christians house and Eoghain was our main artist who pretended to be Sam Sparro. We filmed Eoghain infront of a green screen the whole time because we had some good ideas of what CGI we could include during the editing stage of our final music video. The filming location is approppriate and works well,  we have a good understanding of what mise en scene to include, such as clothes and props within our music video to improve the proffessionalism of the video.

Dolby

max- you need a much better log of your progress in this project so I can keep track and help support- please upload a progress/production log for this last week as well as any other work you have been doing on ancillaries or filming.

Progress update - 07/11/14

On friday period 5. Ruby and I went back to Christians house to analyse potential filming locations for our music video. Most of our video will be filmed infront of a green screen, therefore, we need a large plain wall where we can hang the green screen. Christians house had many potetional filming loactions and he had numerous large plain walls where we can hang the green screen.

Improvements to my coursework

Haven spoken to Mrs Dolby during one of our lessons, I recieved a list of improvments that I could add to my coursework to improve the amount of marks I achieve:

• I need to look at the industry and audience in more detail - potentially create to more presentations on prezi, as this is a good way of me presenting the research that I have put in. 
• I need to go over a couple of sections about the music industry and produce more presentations and blogs to show that I have put in effort to research more into the industry.
