blog reflection- Week 7

This week was a good week for me and my group we was doing some planning today, this planning was involving the shooting schedule, this means that we had to plan each shot for example the location on where we are filming our music video, the type of shot as there are a variety of shots that we can use our music video to portray certain signs, for example we are using a lot of two shots in our music video this states that there is a close relationship between the couples casting in our music video. We have to also plan for the camera movement that we will use in our rap and RnB genre that we have chosen.

This music video will last at least 3 minutes the fact that we also had to introduce the music video this means that the video will introduce the characters before the music begins this is something we had to plan for on the shooting schedule. In addition to this we need to plan for the duration of the music video this means that we need to plan for how much seconds an shot is going to be because in existing music videos shots are usually changing to entertain and surprise the audience whether its an RnB music video of an Rock the change between shots need have had at least 100 to get the audience engaged with watching the music video.

We also had to state the characters that are going to be where on which shot. Lastly my group and I stated what is going to happen in each shot doing this gives people a brief breakdown on what might happen in the music video. the key concept we are focusing on is the narrative of the story how we will like to set it out and what we want where which makes this music video unique to the rest of the music video out there, the fact that we have to take care planning out each shot shows that we breaking down what we would like to come to of this music video, what we might change and what we want to achieve whether it is a narrative video or performance video planning needs to be in consideration.

Treatment 

This week our concept was too plan for our music, the first thing me and my group had to do was to look for the artist who made the song in this case we will need to d research the reason for this is that we had to make our artist a little different to the one who actually produced the song, this is because we have to relate it to the audience our there as well as to be different. the key concept that we was focusing on was what we need in order to film our music video as this will give us a brief idea on what we need. My group and I had a sit down and decided what our plot will be as well as how we will want to portray our artist. The biggest challenge was figuring out a plot for our music video because the genre of this is rap, which brings me out of my comfort zone as I topically listen to RnB. The treatment was broken down into our vision, targeted audience, logistics and technology that will be used 

Blog Reflection- Week 5

Beach combing 



Whitney Houston

This week we were doing some research into beach combing of different music videos, I had to do some research in to  music videos which inspired me the most, in this case I chose whitney houston, this is because her songs have inspired alot of people espicaially me, the lyrics in her songs mena smething to people e.g. i will always love you. people could relate to the song as it literally talks about how inlove you are with another person weather they ar there or not. This sing is particually menas alot to me because of the fact that I dedicate this song to my grandma as it was her favourite song. This woamn is inspiring because she is a strong balack woman as well as her selling lots of records and her being successful in life. the fac that she has been through hardship as well as us.



econdly Nicki minaji. I was assigned to say why the inspire me. I had to search up artist which inspire me the most and what they songs mean to me. I decided to chose these artist because the songs has influenced  me more as a child growing up and all of them have big personalities seen on social media such as looking at interview of them on talk shows. Th reason for me doing this research was for me to get an inside as an audience member how I would like my artist or artist to show to the audience,as planning comes near I would have to think of how I would like my artist to portray themselves. I have chose this particular atrsist this is because of the fact that her videos is very enetertaining in the fact that she thinkings out side the box with her music videos, also er vidoes are very colourful and always have somethng new to show her fans which is why i like her this is inpiring because she is an independent beatiful oung woman the varietry of her music videos are always differet and she is not scared to be diffrent from all the other artist out there today. Ncki minaji is inspitrinf not just to me but to her audience such as from 13-18 year old as someone of them might look up to her as an role model because she is an successful woman rap as we dont really she as much on Tv. on the other hand the fact that she she is inpitring to some on us some parents might not like the way she protrays her self on music videos which a comletly different story, the fact that she doesnt dress apporiatley in her music video some parents might find it offestive. To add to this she is also seen as a fashion statement this means that young girls will she the way she dresses as a good thing.

Risk Assessment

I am producing a risk assessment in order to get an idea on what difficulties we can get when making the music video, this is to help us with the risk that we are taking and what we can do in order to prevent these from happening to cast members of the group.  This gives a rough idea on what health and safety issue with filming, this is evidence of letting us know that we have taken not on the risk we could have.

Risk	Reason for this	Rating out of 5	Those at risk	The solution of fixing the problem
Weather	Could damage equipment in this case when dealing with elect devices	3/3	Everyone	We will need to check the weather before hand also if the camera gets wet we will need to dry it off before plugging it into the mains in case of eclectic shock.
Wooden Bed	When filming the bed frame may get in the way risk of banging your head	3/5	The cast members	We will need to make sure that someone is standing next to the people on the bed making sure they wont drop off.
Costumes	Things can rip; buttons can come off risk of hitting someone in the eye. In addition to this clothes being left on the floor when getting changed risk of slipping on them	4.5/5	The cast members	We will need to be prepared, make sure someone is in charge of clothes, also reminding people to tidy up after them self
Equipment	Can drop equipment on foot	3/5	The person filming, camera operator	We will need to make sure that we have a bag to put the camera in and give it to a reliable person to hold.
Car	People may think that we might have stolen the car, gas or petrol inside car risk of explosion if we are not using the car sensible	5/5	The cast members	We will need the owner of the car to stay with us at all times
Time of day	Could be a problem because of the fact that it gets late quicker	4/5	Everyone	We need produce a time schedule on when everyone is free before it gets dark. Need to have a mini meeting with all the team members
Dogs	This is because dogs are disruptive, some dogs are not trained or familiarized with new people,	4/5	Everyone producing and casting in the music video also predestines walking past.	We will need to make sure that the owner is around to keep their dogs in order
