This is our music poster we have decided to use the 'cut out' effect, we believe this fits the conventions of a indie music video. It is important that we keep this theme across to the digi-pack so their is continuity. From the feedback from this poster we got told that the text wasn't visible enough therefore we went back and re did the text.

Music Video Intro

The link above is the link to our music video intro.

We decided to do a poll everywhere, so that we could decided what we need to work on with our intro. Here are the results



Summarise

After looking at the poll everywhere and seeing what the audience thought about the intro. This will help us because it means we will now take on their advice and hopefully make it better. The comment where it says "text is hard to read" we say this and made changes on it to make sure the text was more readable.

Cutting To The Beat


Cutting To The Beat
 
 
Below is the lyrics for Finn Riggins "Benchwarmers" song, I have analysed it and explained what concept and ideas that we will use in the final cut of our music video.
 
lip-sync- yellow 
Storyline- orange
Environmental shots- red 
 
All the kids on the bench don't double dutch -  Lip-synch sequence
All the kids on the bench don't hopscotch - Lip-synch sequence
All the kids on the bench ride their fancy bikes, - Conor on bench
ride their fancy bikes to the river - Pete strolls through the woods
All the kids on the bench lightin' bonfires - Shot of bonfire night
All the kids on the bench count the shooting stars - Pete looking into the sky smiling
All the kids on the bench holdin' hands down,
holding hand down on the bike path - dance, hip-hop style

All the kids on the bench wearin' blue jeans - shot of Pete walking across with blue jeans on
All the kids on the bench haulin' sweet dreams
All the kids on the bench movin' their feet - running tracking shot
movin' their feet, movin', movin' their feet extreme-close-up of Petes shoes
They all go oo-oo-oo-oo
shimmy to the left, shimmy to the left, shimmy to the right


All the kids on the bench slingin' jump ropes - shot of swing All the kids on the bench shootin' gumballs - Environmental shots
All the kids on the bench swingin' their hips - Environmental shots swingin' their hips, swingin', swingin' their hips - Environmental shots

All the kids on the bench cheat at 7-up - pete splashes his face in sink
All the kids on the bench hot at freeze tag - sees Conor and panics
All the kids on the bench got the breakdance
pop'n'lock-lock, pop'n'lock, pop'n'lock-lock - Fingers Clicking

All the kids on the bench battle thumb wars
All the kids on the bench with their smart phones -
All the kids on the bench with their crazy legs - environmental shot
slidin' with the moonwalk, slidin' with the moonwalk
They all go oo-oo-oo-oo
shimmy to the left, shimmy to the left, shimmy to the right

Style Of Our Music Video

Style of Our Music Video
 
 
 
 
We have many inspirations for our music video and we shall apply conventions that we previously saw in many different music videos and merge them together to hopefully make a very effective use of camerawork.
 
 
Firstly, one of our inspirations is Kieszas "Hideaway" music video. The reason being is because even though the entire music video is from a perspective of a long, simple tracking shot, it is put to good use and this entices the viewer to keep watching and it flows so seamlessly they don't even notice it is one shot. Even though we will not adhere to this convention, we shall utilise some of the ideas the music video had for pan out and body shots.


 In addition, another inspirational music video to us as a group was Duke Dumont and Martin Garrax's music videos. This is potentially the most important factor in our preparation due to the fact that like these two music videos we shall use animal masks in some of our main characters to create a sense of enigma and emphasize upon mystery to keep the audience interested throughout the music video.

In addition, there were a few films that inspired our production in terms of film usage. Amongst these were the horror film Seven. an example is how the camera pans out and deblurrs the background to reveal a character that the audience knows is shadowing the protagonist. We will use this type of shot to build tension throughout the music video.

In conclusion ,these along with many other fine examples of media will help inspire and shape the way we film our music video and incorporate many innovative features into it to get the best ideas and apply this to hopefully make the most creative music video that we possibly can. This reflects our overall dedication to this project, such as going out and filming again with this new concept after our initial idea failed, this shows our determination and tenacity in order to achieve what we want.
