In the studio

A photo when i was in the studio adjusting the volume for the song that we will be using for our music video. I replayed the same song about 10 times till we had a variety of shots (close up, long shot, mid shot and extreme close up) our acter Morshed did this by lip syncing and mimiking the lyrics .

Storyboard plan for our shoot

These are some of the pictures that we will be using to put forward on our pre-production folder. Its useful to plan first the type of shots and where and when we will be doing the specific shooting. For example in one of them we have a close up if our acters faces on a profile shot looking eye to eye which represents love and emotion between the two.

Treatment evaluation/feedback

One of the queations that was asked by the aduience is, if we were using one of our group members as an actor in the music video.

Taking into account we will be because we all beleive as a team that our gorup member Morshed will suit the role perfectly as his got some experience in acting himself i also will like to say that he will be an ideal charcter because he potrays a young adults looks for example, his facial hair, his hairstyle and his clothing choice will fir out character. we believe that he is also photogenic so every shot and every angle we take will be good.

Our teacher suggested to look at the music video of 'The Pharcyde' by The drop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co3qMdkucM0

This music video is a very useful example for how half of our music video will consist of, which is rewinds and flasbacks. In the Pharcyde the whole musiv cideo is based on rewinds and this is very creative and intresting as it draws the audiences attention because of the unique edit that it has which is rewinding but at the sametime getting the lip syncing right. This is a very good technique and we consider using this in our music video. Half of it will consist of rewinding with a narative and half looking at the audience. We plan to use in our music videos rewinds of smashed bottels, rewinding back to its original state and we also want to use a shisha pen which i think will look very cool in rewind.




Treatment

This our treatment. In this video we sell our ideas to our audience explaining what song we will be using and what type of shots ,where and when. This will also include actors. We will have a couple which has an argument and in result of breaking and this will be shown through through half narative (story) and half of the video actually singing to the audience. We will consider in our music video a variety of locations too, for example, the studio in the college and we can achieve this by getting permission from the teachers and when we do get to use it we will use a black back drop to set the mood of the video and be relative to the lyrics of the song. The length of the video will be about 4 minutes long and it will have a variety of shots. Our audience will mainly be from 15-25 year olds because thats the age group where you will experience heartbreaks and relationship problems as our song choice is about a breeak up. We will broadcast our music video on Social sites such as YouTube or Facebook and many more channels.

Annotation of lyrics


In this task me and my group mates annotated the lyrics in our music chose that we picked to see what type of shots we will be using and where, whether thats outside with maybe a long shot of the couple or an extreme close up of the male character to show the emotions on his face.
