Here is the production meeting agenda for shoot 2 where we will be adding in the narrative, as seen above we are adding props which add to our narrative and help convey key themes and ideas to our audience.

Shown above is the music video storyboard, showing the narrative of our music video. This will be used when it comes to filming our music video and will help us organize our narrative and help film paticular shots which will display this.

Our first shoot was completed at Delancey College Campus, I think it went quite well as we were able to experiment with shot angles and it allowed the performer to gain more confidence and improve his performing. We chose this location as we are using it as our location for our final video, therefore using the location to practice helped us to be familiar with the set up and surroundings. We practiced using a mid shot, a long shot and a close up. During this shoot we successfully experimented with camera angles, made sure the performer knew the words and ensured they were confident enough for our future video.

There are some targets for us to remember and learn from when moving on towards our final draft, these include;

• Use a range of different angles to make the video more interesting to actually view, at the moment we are just using a closeup, a mid-shot and a long-shot.
• Prepare our star by making sure he knows the words, and directing him what to do with the guitar
• more close up intimate shots should be used on the star, as we really only have 1 close up

In order to develop our star which will be part of the genre of Brit-Pop I decided to create a star image analysis which shows how stars in my chosen genre present themselves. It is vital to take inspiration from this and consider it when developing our star image. This is because we want our star to be comventional to the genre and appear and ordinary and extraordinary.

Overall I think the shoot went relatively well, our actor knew all of the words and we were able to experiment with some shots which we will use in our final draft. This rough draft was important for us as it made us realize the improvements we need to add when it comes to our final music video. 

Targets: 

-Smoother transition of shots 

-More variety of shots 

-More facial expression of actor, get actor to play guitar 

-Add some movement shots 

-More personal shots with actor

This is our Production meeting agenda for our first shoot draft, this will help us with our organisation and give us clear directions when completing our first draft shoot. This will help us when it comes to completing our final draft as we will be sure to remember all the important things we need for our shoot e.g costume.

This is our first test shoot, on this shoot we practiced with some camera angles that we will use in our music video. We took turns filming while Will acted as the subject, we then downloaded our clips onto premiere pro and edited them to our music. I think this test shoot went well, the angles we used were clear and we all worked together very well, our editing was also up to standard.

This test shoot would be even better if:

• We used more variety of angles and shots and played around with other camera techniques e.g composition.
• Added some more acting/narrative
• Shots of surroundings
• Put more detail/attention into setting (phone and books shown on table- distracting)

Shown above is out pitch for our music video, the slideshow shows the song we are using, the underlying themes, the narrative and performance,and Mis-en-scene. During our spoken pitch to our teacher we received 6 positive comments and 6 feedback comments. These included:

Positive

• Interesting concept and narrative
• Good use of setting
• Narrative and performance are combined
• Will show good editing skills
• Well known band, but a not so much a popular song

Targets

• Another actor or two could add more to the narrative
• Need more detail on props that will be used
• Mis-en-scene needs to be worked on more
• Finalize choice of set
• Good close up shots of the toys are needed to keep interest
• Decide on costume design

From this feedback we will take the targets into consideration and address them, after reflecting we will finalize choice of set, costume design and mis-en-scene. We also need to think about developing the narrative more whether that be with adding a new actor or with detail such as props and ideas of angles. This will help when coming to filming and developing our music video.
