After re-watching our music video pitch, Kris and I came up with some targets to focus on over the next few weeks and during the summer holidays.

 

*Too Many Ideas*

• Quite frankly myself and Kris have come up with too many ideas for one music video, over complicating it and making it have more than one overall narrative idea. This meaning the music video would have different styles and would not make sense in general. However it is best to have too many ideas rather than too little so luckily we are able to choose our favourite idea and work from there.
• We need to decide whether to create the more vintage style of video, the more symbolic and artistic filming or performance and studio work.

 

*Start Filming ASAP*

• We need to start filming as soon as possible generally due to the summer weather disappearing and the darker evenings approaching earlier and earlier so we are able to make good use of the day and the lighting available.
• We have a short period of time to film and edit our video due to our actors are more or less off to university or starting jobs, meaning they will be leaving very soon and will have less free time.

 

*Research Different Filming Methods*

• To create those exciting and interesting shots we need to do a little research on how to film the shot with the correct aperture, exposure, shutter speed etc.
• Find out how to create time lapse, with everything moving a lot faster in the background and the actor in the foreground in a more natural movement.
