Shooting Schedule

Here is our shooting schedule that was drafted in order to help us decide where and when to shoot, furthermore it aids us in term of what equipment that we should bring along with just on the journey, so we are fully prepared when we arrive at set.

Other Locations?

777, Commercial Rd, LIMEHOUSE E14 -  Caird and Rayner:

 Caird and Rayner This workshop was built in 1869 as a sail-makers’ and ship-chandlers’ warehouse. It was occupied by Caird & Rayner from 1889 to 1972 and was never substantially altered, so the building retains its original cast-iron window frames and two double loading doors that open on to the Limehouse Cut.  Caird & Rayner were engineers and coppersmiths who specialized in the design and manufacture of seawater distilling plant for supplying boilers and drinking water on Royal Navy vessels and Cunard liners. 

Other places:

Waterloo tunnel
is now a designated legal graffiti area so anyone can turn up and get spraying


This locations have a sense of abandonment to them which would conform greatly to our genre, therefore it is currently in consideration to film in these locations. 

 

Location for our music video

My group member Georgie, came across a perfect filming location for our music video as it had a gothic feel to it and was full of mirrors around the home which would allow the aspect of self image. There is also a music studio which could be used to for our performance aspect of the video. As a group we have decided to use this property to be our main location to shot at. 

BFI trip

The trip to the British Film Institute was very insightful. We were shown various music videos which where inspiring and Chief Examiner Pete was there which was even more amazing. From the trip I took away the idea, that a performance was NEEDED in a music video. Therefore our group decided on this aspect greatly, as it was advised to do one by the examiner. We were shown A grade material which allowed us to see what kind of editing could be used. The trip was great and I had left with many idea's for my own music video.

Inspirational shots

In Blink 182- Feeling This, I particularly enjoy the performance aspect, the camera is constantly moving, and there are a limited number of static shots being produced, I would like to incorporate this aspect in my music video too. The video is a snippet from the the music video, I used a website called 'TubeChop'  which allows me to chop YouTube videos to the parts that I need.
          
                     

Inspiring shots - Band Shots

As the song is sung by a lead female vocalist, there is a chance to create a band of our own which is currently under discussion. However there are many inspiring shots that would look effective in our video such as epic band shots to introduce the new band and to add to the genre of Rock, with the use of guitars and drums.

Here are some of my favorite shots:

Top Boy Squad

I really like shots of the band, here are some examples from renowned rock band, Linkin Park with Chester as lead vocalist along with the rest of the band in the band ground. The use of mid shot, fish eye lenses and the canted angles creates a very rock edge to videos as I have observed. Therefore a great band shot is needed in our video similar to that of Linkin Park.

Starting to Storyboard

Following the Copyright Permission request, as a group we discussed ideas as a foundation to help us plan our music video. As a visual, Orla and myself started to storyboard to allow some sort visual imagery to guide us. On listening to the lyrics, there are many self image, religious and freedom connotations. The group discussed what our main aspect behind the video would be, at the current moment we are thinking 'self image' and what problems this can create. We have attempted to break down the seconds for different shots, however this is proving difficult due to the number of beats and where to change shots. The song was on repeat to allow us to come up with inspirational.

Copy Right Permission Request

As a group we created a Copy Right permission request in order to obtain permission to use the song we have selected for our music video. We did this so there would be no issue during our production, and to let the record label know that we had asked for permission before using the song.

Here is a screenshot of the Email:

 

Star Quality Theory - Richard Dyer

''A star is an image constructed (as any other aspect of the fiction is) from a range of materials- E.G. advertising and magazines, as well as films and music. -Richard Dyer

To a great extent leader singer of Black Veil Brides, Andy Biersack,similar to the rock genre Tonight Alive conforms with Richard Dyer's theory. As there are a lot of advertisements, twitter feed and Facebook posts. The band became famous due to MySpace, which attracted many young people who enjoy the rock genre, from there Black Veil Brides became very well known and now have won best song and album of the year.

Andy Biersack, the lead singer has been everyone favorite due to his funny humor in interviews and also being the original member of the band in 2007. Since then Andy has been on the front covers of many magazines and recently a billboard in Camden to recognises the release of their new album .

 There have also been many posters within the center of the magazine, also jam packed with interviews which keeps fans excited and up to date with all the band talk. Andy has made it to the 100 most greatest Rockstars, being one of the youngest and most recent.
