Shooting Script

This is an example of one of the sheets of our shooting script. It shows the shot location, the actors and props required and the date we did the shooting. This is a helpful perk to have it kept everything organised and in line, this minimized errors and saved us time not having to re-film.

Story Board

These are a few shots of our storyboard. They show the different scenes throughout our music video. They also show the lighting, sound, mis-en-scene and duration of the clip. These storyboards will help us with our filming, because we ill have an idea of what we want to produce.

Codes and conventions of a website, Content

Content- Websites with factual infromation may look different compared to a site for entertainment, this may include factual websites, will have alot more text and information and will look alot more formal, rather too entertainment websites which will have alot more graphics and will be more graphalogically pleasing to the audience. There are different titles on different sites as they would be focus on only one type of information. We will be using alot of images which will link specifically to our music video and can be recognicable to our 'brand'.

Codes and Conventions of a website layout and Design

Layout and Design usability - Easy to use site with clear areas for naviation around the website. Grid System- Separate sections of a website to present information in small, easy to access segments. Centre of Page- Used for main content with navigation tools on the left and/or across the top of the page and links to more infromation on the right. Background and Font colour- Used to separate different types of information. Images- Used to illustrate as much as possible to add visual interest.

Weather conditions

Yesterday and Tuesday we decided not to film as it was the bes thing to do ragarding health and saftey and continuity. Thye whole local are and places we had considered to film at are covered in snow and ice, which has delayed our filming. But we are substituting this with working on our webpage and codes and conventions.

Analysing Music Videos - Ed Sheeran "A Team"

This is a music video by Ed Sheeran; this was one of his first major song releases. This is the artist which we are using for our music video, so I thought analysing one of his other songs and music videos would be beneficial to enable us to identify him as an artist and his genre of music. This song is similar to the song we are using because it is a Folk ballad. The song also is a narrative like our production, this song follows the struggles of a women’s life, and how she is a drug addict and will do anything for money. The woman is suffering in life and this video represents that, like our production it represents suffering. This song is similar to hits likeSuzanne Vega's "Luka" (about child abuse), 10,000 Maniacs' "Like the Weather" (depression) and Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" (alcoholism)", these are all songs that shade their heavy topics under a melodic canopy. The lightening in this video is a contrast of black and white; this is similar to our production again because we will incorporate black and white to emphasize the past. Ed Sheeran’s songs often follow a narrative; this is good for us because it means we can portray this in our production. The video also shows slow clips to elongate the story; this is very effective because it enables the audience to understand the narrative. It also incorporates fast editing to show that people are going past her fast, but she is just sat as if her life is coming to a stop. Overall this video is great, because it portrays a understandable narrative, which consequently will allow the audience to keep watching and connect with the song and video.
