Music Video Final Draft

Question 1

In what ways does your media products use,develop or challanged conventions of real media texts. 

This video explains how we have used conventions of real media texts in all three o our media producs, the music video, digi pack and the album advertisement.




Digi Pack 

The back cover of the digi pack consists of polariod photos of the artist and also some locations which we see during the music video. we chose to use the polariods as it sticks with the theme of indie pop which is a theme that rund throughtout the digi pack. Having photos on the back cover is typical for an album cover, the photos are either of the artist or something that links in with them. Also on the back cover the list of songs that are on the album have been included this is something that we would usually see on the back cover. Lastly, on the back cover we have included the record label th artist is signed to this is typical to a digi pack as the artist is connected to the record label.

Second Draft Of Music Video

WWW:

We included more shots of the wave projector to make sure they werent random and made sense in the music video.
We have included new editing techniques such as the overlays when the couple are lip syncing and he dissolve when the male artist faed away so Robin is the only one left.
We have thought about the mise en scene such as when we use the wave projector to link in with the kyrics of the song which are about water. Mise en scene has also been used when Robin is lip syncing in the mirror and there are pictures of her and the male artist around the side of it.

EBI:

Some of the shots in the middle of the video need to be in time with the music such as when the couple are walking togther and the shot of the feet walking.
We need to re do some shots to mak sure that it isnt shakey and in foucs or we could add the warp stabiliasation on them in post production. . Such as the shots when Robin is sitting on the grass on her own which need to be stable, the one when the couple are looking out over London.
We need to make sure tha the shots make sense and have been included earlier on in the music video aswell such as the silhouette shots.

Mood Board


We have created a mood board to help us decided what to pur on our front cover so that it represents our genre of indie pop and also the artists personalitily of being simple but also uniqu.


Ancillary Products- Digipack Plan



Digipack Plan
For our digipack we have chosen to use two colours which are blue and black for our main colour scheme however, we will also use othr colours like pink and white but only on the polariof pictures. We have chosen these two colours because they associate with the indie genre also they link into our music video which is called 'Shark' which consists of a variety of different blue based shots.

For the front cover we will have a picture of Robin looking to the side of the cmaera instead of into it. Robin will be in white and grey which contrasts with the black background. The title will be light blue writing with Exposure and Robin in different fonts.

For the back cover we will use the same font for the songs as we did for Robn which will also be in blue. We will include multiple polariod pictures which will be in colour, the background will also e in black.

For the CD it will be a polariod photo so where the hole is in the middle will be where the camera lens is. We have chosen to use a polariod camera because they are usually stereotypicaly associated with the indie genre and indie style.

The R which is the logo for Robin will be on a black background and will look like a light has come through it.

The last pannel will be Robin holding a blue polariod camera in her face which will be on a black background.

Editing Session 5-

Date- 2/12/16

For this editing session we filmed worked on our teacher feedback. One piece of feedback was that the mirror lip syncing shot was too long so to improve on this we decided not to cut down the shot as it was one of our bests we superimposed the male artists look the same direction as Robin to show how they have broken up. Another piece of feedback was to include a shot of the artists eyes moving faster and to the beat of the music. We did this by putting the two shots on top of each other to make sure that they are at the exact same position we then speed up the movement of the eyes so that they moved around the screen.

Filming Session 7-


Filming Session 7
Date-29/11/16
Equipment- Tripod, Fig rig, camera



For this filming session we filmed some filler shots to fill in the small caps between other shots. We filmed the couple holding hands, their feet standing opposite each other and their faces. While filming we came up with some new ideas add in our music video such as, we filmed the couple looking into the camera we then just filmed the female artist as we are going to fade out the male artists to show she is on her own. We also filmed the café scene which is where we see the couple sitting down together which then goes into the artist sitting on her own. Some problems we faced while filming is that there were a lot of people walking past while we tried to film some of the lip syncing shots so we had to refilm those.

Editing Session 3-

Date- 22/11/16

For this editing session we made the flashbacks and the present shots clearer to see so the narrative is noticeable. By doing this we made the present shots black and white, we have chosen to do this because when you think of flashbacks you thing of them as being black and white so we decided to see the colours round and make the present in black and white to show her sadness. We also added in some new footage we had filmed such as some London eye shots which we hadn't used used yet to show the couple having a good time together. This editing footage was to work on some our feedback we had gotten. We worked on making sure the reversing footage of the feet and the couple bowling were in time with the music. We also tried editing off beat with some of our shots but decided that we were going to filming some new footage to fit with editing of the beat.
