Log Book 1- Tuesday 7th September
We made ourselves into a group consisting of three members, Tom Sarah and Emily. We all decided on the genre of the track which we wanted to have for our music video, we decided alternative rock. We needed a track that combined a slow rhythm as well as a fast to convey our ability to shoot at different paces with various shots. We all spilt up and tried to find a suitable song.
Log Book 2- Wednesday 8th September
We brought our song choices together and expressed our views on each. Making sure we all had an equal opinion. We got it down to three tracks which were Brand New’ Sowing Season’ Bombay Bicycle Club’ Always like this’ and Drake ‘Find Your love’. We decided to use Brand New so we could convey more emotion and it was the most suitable to our chosen genre
Log Book 3- Friday 10th September
We started to plan ideas for our video, listening to the track over and over we started to picture a scenario that could go with the music, We decided to combine narrative and performance based video to make it more interesting and this also parallels to the conventions of alternative rock videos.
Log Book 4- Monday 13th September
We gathered ourselves together to have a group meeting and started to decide how many characters we would like in our video. We decided on one main young boy and also checked with the suitable actor that they would be involved in our video. The story we wanted to portray was an alcohol addiction as it would relate to the lyrics. Lyrics such as ‘Was losing all my friends, was losing them to drinking and driving’ and other emotional based lyrics. We also printed off the lyrics and wrote the seconds each lyric started and stopped.
Log Book 5- Tuesday 14th September
We produced a letter to send to Brand New (The band) to ask for permission to use their track. As well as this we began on our storyboards, we got up to shot 15. We realised the storyboard would take a while to create as we had only reached 37 seconds.
Log Book 6- Wednesday 15th September
Due to the storyboard taking longer than we expected on our first sit down as a group, we decided to agree on the shots and split it up equally so the process of making them wasn’t as long. Making our group hold time efficiency and good group work, as we checked each other’s shots before making them official.
Log Book 7 Thursday 16th September
We carried on with storyboards; we managed to get up to shot 50 even with Sarah’s absence. However she managed to do two shots despite being ill, pure dedication.
Log Book 8 : Friday 17th September
Emily made the mistake of taking home all the shots (and Sarah’s illness) so with Sarah and Emily gone; Tom had to go it alone. He managed to get up to shot 80 which was 3 minutes and 8 seconds.
Log Book 9: Tuesday 21st September
We completed our storyboard it was a great relief as the storyboard is extremely time consuming. However, all worth the effort as we have a completed music video on paper!
Log Book 10: Thursday 23rd September
We began to film our storyboard. Which took longer than we first expected as we realised we needed a steady hand. We then captured our footage which took 10 minutes, we then realised we didn’t properly capture it, so another 10 minutes was taken to capture it again.
Log Book 11: Friday 24th September
Tom began editing the storyboard and getting familiar with the tools such as cut and stretch, making sure it was in time with our storyboard. Emily and Sarah worked on their blogs making sure the group’s work was up to date.
Log Book 12: 28 September 28th
Tom edited the storyboard up to 1.30 while Sarah and Emily planned the shooting schedule and researched gigs that were on up in London in which we could film gig shots and some of the street shots. We found a band named Young Rebel set who could provide us with a perfect gig atmosphere for our Music Video
Log Book 13: 30th September
Editing was completed of storyboard and we gathered as a group to watch it back, making sure it was on time and if any mistakes were made that needed to be rectified. There seemed to be only minor adjustments
