Health & safety considerations

I had to make sure that none if my cast went into the sea because it was a very cold day when i was filming and getting wet while it was cold could have made one of my cast very ill.

I made sure i didnt put the camera down on the sand or let anyone drop it because if it got droppe in teh sea it would have broken the camera completely and if any sand/grit got into it it would have also effected in and could have even effected the tape i was using.

I made sure i took an extra person with me to look after the camera when it was not been used to make sure none of these events could happen.

Analysis of lyrics

Characters

first character:
James Cooper
18
wearing: coat, scarf, skinny jeans, plimsoles.

I chose James Cooper to be in my music video because he was the perfect image for my target audience. It would have been also esay to change his "look" if i wanted to by a chngae of clothes/ hair style ect. He always tunred up on time which i knew he would and wasd a very reliable source for the video.











second character:
Amanda Croft
18
wearing: pink toggle coat, leggins, scarf, hat.

I chose Amanda Croft to feature in my music video becuase she was also like James Cooper a perfect image towards my target audience. Becuase Amanda was 18 it was the same as my target audience i also knew that Amanda would not let me down when i planned for us to shoot and she always turned up the the correct clothes i asked her to be in.










Third Character:
Chloe Robinson (Myself)
17
Wearing: leggins, Ugg boots, white top, cream zip up jacet with a jacket with no sleves no top.


I acted myself towards the end of the video to have a slight change of character from Amanda and James. This was not too difficult but i did have to do some test shoots and keep checking them.

screenplay

one girls and one boy both aged 18, dressed modern to fit target audience.
Filming starts of with extreme close ups of three different coloured eyes then the song starts with some diaglogue, after this dialogue the cast begin walking down some stairs towards the beach. It then moves on to a varied amount of establishing and weather shots which appear through out my video. Because my video was filmed on a beach it was easy to film these weather shots due to being close to the coast. I made the boy in my video write the chorus lyrics in teh sand "you dont know me" because i thought this would look very effective also it goes really well with the beat of my song due to be an up beat song.

I want to use some weather shots in my music video because i think it makes all the rest of the shots flow well and breaks them up abit. I have taken these screen shot from the music video Faunts, i looked at a few music video which included a beach scene but theere was not many to look at. Another video i analyised was Colplay Yellow which is set on a beach in liverpool. It uses weather shots but not obviously, it has a man walking up teh beach and singing tot teh lyrics and in the background you can see the weather is cleary bad and raining.

Audience Research Evaluation

Audience Research Evaluation

The first question I asked my audience was of what gender they were of. I made the questionnaire equal by having 10 female’s and 10 male’s this way I would have a clearer idea of the separation by gender if any.

The second question I asked was on which genre/style of music they preferred listening too. Most popular was R&B second was rock then dance and last indie. I was quite surprised by these results as I imagined indie to be a lot higher then rock music but R&B been first did not surprise me when it was most popular.

My third question was if they preferred watching a music video with or without live footage of the band (voyeuristic pleasure). A lot more people answer yes they would prefer to see the band on the video set. I think this is down to the young adults wanting to take after/ replica their favourite bands.

The fourth question I asked was did they prefer a music video with or without narrative structure. The results to this question were quite close but mostly said with a narrative structure which I was surprised at because modern music videos do not normally have a clear narrative structure to them.

My last question was what they would prefer to see in a music video they were watching. I gave them a choice of 4 settings: dancing, Band playing, Beach or Clubbing. The most popular choice was band playing, then clubbing next dancing then finally a beach setting.
These results didn’t really surprise me because of the results from my third question.
