Prop/ styling list

 
When filming my music video, the props involved
were a 'love note' which my artist used to show
his heart ache.

Male Artist styling list; chinos, jumper, shirt and boat shoes, this was to create an indie feel. which shows a connection with the indie pop genre.

Ed Sheeran is a good example as he wears similar clothing to my artist.

Filming prep

Locations;
1) train station; Anya walking into train station
Shots used; establishing shot of train station, close up on Oyster card, mid/wide shot of inside of carriage window
2)princess park manor;Anya dancing on band stand close up shots to capture her facial expressions and wide shots to show her movement whilst dancing.
3)park; Anya and Taran holding hands, sitting on bench, chris then singing, whilst walking past them this is done at a wide shot to get all three characters in the shot


The dancing scenes of Anya is going to show that her relationship is going through her mind, I'm going to do this by using opacity editing, to find the relationship of them going in and out of her mind this will be happening whilst the main shot is still focusing on her dancing so it shoes her dance overrides her relationship with him.


Close up shots including;
Watch on wrist
Clock on the wall
Ballet shoes
Leads falling
Holding of the hands
Bulldog
Shoes walking

First time filming

Night shots on the 10th November 2013 at 6pm









The band stand where the main events happen, shows Anya the dancer as a dedicated dancer as she spends most of her time dancing and little time with her boyfriend as she finds it hard to balance her social life with her education. By videoing this scene it really shows how passionate she is about her sport, by using close up shots of her face I am able to capture her facial emotions.
Due to the lack of light in these shots I have had to reschedule to do them the following weak during the day as the evening was not supplying enouth light to caputrue a clear shot.

risk assessment

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking. These are very important as it will help you to ensure that if an accident occurs you would have assessed the risk and would try to prevent it as much as you can or reduce the damage.
 
location 1: Princess Park Manner
                                                      
The risks I could come across here are there may be broken glass or empty bottle's, so a lot of litter. Also I may come across dog walkers, so their dog could become a risk to myself and my artist. to prevent this I would make sure no filming is to be done near the broke glass and no harmful dogs are near
 
When filming at princess park manner I came across broke glass and empty glass bottles, we avoided this as we had assessed this before getting there, so we where able to film in an area where there was no risks involved. I and the artist was approached by two dogs whilst filming, but we were able to bond with the dogs, so no harm was done.
 
Location 2: School Grounds
 
The risks I could come across here are that the surface could be wet enabling someone to fall over, as there is a combinations of both grass and leaves. Also the surface is at a tilt making this a higher risk as its harder to balance, on uneven ground.
 
when filming on the school grounds, we came across many problems as it was raining the day before, so the surface area was wet, so we encounter many near falls, fortunately we were able to then film on concrete surface, so our stability was stable.

The music video pitch

The Pitch

My music video will include two males and one female, the male and female are seen as a couple and the other male is singing. In the scenes the singer does not engage with the couple, as he is shown in the background observing their relationship. 
The female is a dedicated dancer and she rarely has time to spend with her boyfriend, this causes strain on their relationship. This song really connects with the visual image as its saying you never made time which describes his feelings of her.
