Story board

 These below are our story boards for a music video, it includes drafts of frames we used in the actual video, it was a fundamental basis for our planning. Using this we could remind us of what shots we needed to use.

Shot 1 - This story board starts with one an establishing shot of the area we were in. 'Loyds'
This shot was used to show the area we were in and the atmosphere around us.

Shot 2 - Is a medium close up of our artist HALO

Shot 3 - Is a group shot

Jays photography

Evidence for filming

Editing Process

Promotion

If we were to go ahead and promote oujr cd/music video, we would start of small because obviously we would need to raise funds, but for a low budget music video and cd like ours the inital steps we would take to sell our products would firstly be to sho the video to our friends and family. Getting feed back from people around you positive and negative is a start. I did this and got some feed back from friends.

If they like it then thats good, they could recommend changes that could make it better. I think the next step would be to post it on social networking sites such as facebook, instagram, twitter, my space,

We would also post in on to youtube for people to view

Progress at the moment

The stage we are at now is, we have all of our footage recorded however the sony hd tape operated video camcorder cannot upload to the macs due to problems with software and cables needed, Toff is doing all he can to get it uploaded, if not we may have to shoot our footage again with the artist.

Props and Equipment

Shooting a video in town using only one car for transport makes our props very limited to what we were able to bring.


Video Camcorder

We used a mates old video camcorder to shoot our Video, this is obviously needed because it is the most important piece of equipment that we will use for filming the footage and shots we need.


Tripod

At first we were going to use this but then we realised it was to stable and that rap videos have hand held video camcorders so this prop was scrapped. Using this would have ensured is a steady firm handling which is quite the opposite of what we acctually needed.


Lighting

The lighting we used was a little attachable light that fit on to the video camcorder. We also used the surrounding lap post which we relied on.


Apple Mac Computer

The apple mac computer also had a big role in our music video, this was used to edit our pictures for our album cover/back, poster and steels via photoshop. These were located in the media classrooms which we have to upload our video to to edit it. We also used these macs to access our blogs to update them with relevant information.



My Car

My car played a role in the music video. The headlights were used to create more off an effect in black and white. It contributed to the video.


Bikes and Skate boards

These played a large role in our music video. The front cover of the album included a skateboard and also it related to our theme. The bikes and skateboards which we were influenced by 'Stormzy' was a prop.

 We also used a portable speaker to play the backing track whilst we recorded.
