Shooting Location Photos (draft)

Here are a few photos of locations we will be shooting at for our video.

Animatic

Here Is the animatic version of our storyboard. This process of using the images from our storyboard in video format helps us understand the duration of shots that will work, and also turns the stage of Ideas, into a real thing.

Here Is Our Animatic Storyboard.

Props and costume

For our video, Costume and Props are going to be vital key aspects needed when shooting our footage. Here is a list of what we'll need and what we will need the for...


Props; The props that we will need are going to play a huge part in our video, as we will need to use them to tell the story.

• Instruments. 

These are the main props needed for this video as they are what our band will be using to make music at the end of the video e.g. Guitars, Bass Guitar, Drums etc.

• Backpacks

The setting for our video is going to be in a school/college environment, so our characters are going to need to look as though they are students. By using backpacks that are commonly used as school equipment, the audience can relate to the characters being young musicians that are still in education.

• Folders

One of the scenes are of a characters folder blowing away in the wind and the papers flying everywhere.

• Watch

Another planned scene for the video is when one of the character looks at their watch to check the time.


Costume; Our costume will need to be in-keeping with the colour pallet choices we have chosen previously, but at the same time, stand out enough so that the attention is drawn to the character.
Dark clothing is our choice of costume with the odd lighter element drawing attention towards them. The main colour choices are most likely to be;

• Black's
• Grey's
• White's 
• Bluey colours (both light and dark shades)

Audience Reasearch

For audience research into making a music video, I looked at what fans of our chosen artist also look at both on Amazon and Spotify. 

On Amazon, I searched the album that our chosen song appears on Love And Death - Between Here And Lost. At the bottom of the page, there is a section all about other related bands who's merchandise have either been purchased along with this album, or are albums and singles by artists that are of the same genre.... 

Here are 7 other albums bought by customers on Amazon;

•  KoЯn - The Paradigm Shift
• Machine Head - Bloodstone And Diamonds
• Slipknot - The Grey Chapter
• Fear And The Nervous System Album
• Mushroomhead - The Righteous & The Butterfly
• Scar The Martyr Album
• Killer Be Killed Album

I also looked on Spotify to find related and most popular artists that are linked in with Love And Death...

Here are 8 of the related artists to love and death;

• Brian "Head" Welch
• Demon Hunter
• Project 86
• The Showdown
• War Of Ages
• Blindside
• Haste The Day
• We As Human

To conclude my audience research, I have made a survey asking our potential audience questions to help with coming up with ideas and give me and my group a bit of an understanding of what the people would like to see.

Story Board

It was now time to start putting Ideas together in the form of a story board in order to make it easier for us to get an Idea of the shots we will need, equipment we will need, and the length of shot that will also be needed.

It is also a great way for our group to see what we are aiming for rather than all of us having a different ideas, and the whole thing being a mess of un-readable narrative.
