Rough Copy

We have now begun to shoot a bit of our music video, and are carefully trying to figure out the right locations and cast, To make further progress in it. So our rough draft gives us ideas of how our final product will look, and also gives us a chance to make any changes to shots in which we want to use, any areas in which we think will need reshooting and also any additional extras such as props or additional lighting. So far our rough cut is going well and we are pleased with it we just need to feel the gaps to get an estimated final draft. The rough cut will inspire us to make our video more professional as the rough cut is just a guidline and is a way of helping us to do better. The vieod looks unprofessionally filmed, as that is the idea in what we wish to connect to the public, as they are a new group and we want to push that feeling through using our music video. we also came up with the idea of using a grainy effect which we all liked as it also looks quite ammature and a few of our shots have come out like it already and we really like it, it presents the idea of a new band through the shot types, being quite dim, and filmed in a way that it looks quite dim, we like this effect as it looks as if another member of the band have filmed it like they are practice shots, or someone has just found their tape and have presented it to the world. So this is how it connects to film Cloverfeild that i researched earlier by using the hand-held camera and found video footage.

The music video is also very jumpy and looks like alot of experimentation. At the moment we do not have a narrative to our video, it looks like a band just practicing on a normal day. so there are a gaps in a few places but we wanted to get the studio shots at first but now we were are thinking of having our just two of our band members to create the narrative. So we are using Gemma and Harry to be in young love we want to make their romance as convincing has possible to draw our audience in also to make our video look professional to make our shots look effective and powerful. Were not sure when this going to be filmed. It is difficult to especially due to weather conditions as, we want our outside shots to be light and quite sunny, and as it is the middle of december we haven't yet received one of those days. We are going to carry on filming and hopefully catch a sunny day. which is doubtful in the middle of winter.
