Poster First Draft

This is the first draft of my poster for the music video 'The Fray - How To Save A Life'. As you can see there is a variety of different factors that I can take from this poster and learn from not to use when I create my final poster. The image is focused which doesn't make it look professional so I will make sure that the image is focused properly in the production of my final poster making it more presentable to my target audience. What I do like about the poster though is that the title is set in the middle, at the top of the poster and takes up a lot of gutter space as well as being very eye catching to the audience so they're more likely going to want to have a look at the poster. I have also put 'The Fray' in a bigger font size to also make it stand out more so the target audience know what to expect from the song.

Florence + The Machine

Here I have deconstructed a poster made by Florence + The Machine. I have talked about all of the different effects that have been added to the poster and what affects this has towards the audience who look at the poster. It has been made really well linking towards the target audience of Florence + The Machine and not as much to people who haven't heard of them before. The reason to why they have done this is because she is a really well known indie singer who has had international tours so she doesn't have to make people know who she is as she is already really well known.

Editing Process

Below is a few different screenshots that I have taken whilst we've edited the music video:

This allows us to know how many video clips we have within the music video with them also being in order to the clip making it easier to edit the clips.

This is a image that has been taken from the video which is Jordan (our actor) who is looking outside of the video in his house looking lost and upset to show that he is upset.

This shows us how long each video clip is within the music video and when it changes to the next clip. It has meant that we have been able to keep up to date with our work as it has shown us how much of the music video has been recorded which has meant we have known throughout how much more has needed to be recorded in order to complete the video by the deadline which has helped our time management dramatically.

James Blunt

Below is some photos of Jordan (Character) who is going to be performing the main leading role of the music video. I have also added a photo of solo singer James Blunt to show the impression and sort of look that I will be trying to give to Jordan in the music video. This is because of the sub-genre 'Indie Pop' that the music video is going to be so taking ideas from a well know artist such as James Blunt has helped me gain more ideas into how to make the mise-en-scene of the video to the best of my ability.

Filming

Here is an image I took of Oliver whilst shooting a clip for our music video. As you can see we have used a tripod so that the clip that we record is steady making it look a lot more professional as the motion of the video is a lot more fluent and realistic to the audience when they view the video. This will also make the editing process a lot easier and quicker if the filming is done to the best of our ability as we will have to cut a lot less out of the video during the editing stages. The reason to why our actor is looking downwards towards the alley to help show more empathy and make him look sad and make the audience know that he is thinking about his dog which has passed away.

Semiotics - Media Language

Here I have used pixton to talk about semiotics and what I have learnt about semiotics. I have conducted research on semiotics as I thought it is important as it will help with the development of the music video as it will allow me to understand more about what is going on within the music video and help Olly and I in terms of what we need to do to make our music video more professional and appealing to our target audience.

Weather Conditions

This is a table with the weather conditions that we want to have for these places whilst filming our music video scenes there. The reason to why I have created a table for this is so that when we go filming we can film at specific places depending on the weather on that day instead of waiting a week or two to be able to film at a specific place helping our organisation. This makes it easier and helps us save more time filming as we will know where to film depending on the weather that day. The only problem we may have is that it could be difficult to make sure our cast wears the right clothing depending on the day so we will have to let them know early enough to stop this from happening.
