1st Attempt of Filming

The Green Room
These images show the way in which I set up the green room before filming.
I used the standard three-point lighting system.
These two images show how to set up the lights:

   

 

Image 1 & 2 both show my attempt at this form of lighting. I think it worked really well as it created no shadows but allowed the artist to stand out against the green background.

What Went Wrong

The lights were not set up correctly therefore they created a shadow affect along the green screen. This would mean that when I apply the chrome key the green background would not fully disappear.

Health and Safety Grid

During my filming I carried out a Health and Safety Grid.

The grid consist of the following....

Hazards
Who is at risk
Controls
Severity of Injury
Chance of Injury
Risk and Control Measures

.

This is a key part to making a music video as it ensures the environment in which I will be working in is safe to use. Also it allows me to be aware and take precautions of any hazards which may result in people becoming injured during filming.

Animatic

Animatic

This YouTube clip shows the first attempt of my animatic. I used the images from my storyboard to the track of Clown and combined the two to create my animatic.This shows my animatic in which I combined my storyboard to the timings if my chosen song. This has been helpful when making my first music video draft.

Screenshots of Animatic

These images shows the screenshots of the making of my animatic. I used the software Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.

Firstly I saved the images from my storyboard as pictures which I could then use in my animatic. I right clicked and selected import which meant my images would be imported from my documents onto the software. Therefore I could drag my images onto the timeline which would allow my to add the correct images to the correct time frame.

Secondly I had to make sure the images I used fitted the correct size of the frame. In order to do this I right clicked on each image and selected 'Set to Frame Size'. This then allowed all my images to be the same size as each other as well as fitting into the frame size.

Thirdly I had to ensure the images were in time with the music correctly. To do this I zoomed in on each individual clip and used the blue dragged to make sure the timings of the transition from each image was correct. This is the hardest thing about creating an animatic but the most important aspect as it will make filming my music video much easier.

Audience Research Task 3

Questionnaire

10 Questions


This shows a blank questionnaire, which I handed out to my friends and peers. The aim of the questionnaire was for me to find out what I should and shouldn't include in my music video. I didn't ask for a name or age as I these results won't have been relevant. I wanted people to be honest therefore I kept the identity of each questionnaire private.

These images show the response from my questionnaire:

I have found this task very helpful and I shall break down the results to find what people want to see in my music video:

Focus Group

This video below shows myself conducting a focus group aimed at 3 people. These are my fellow peers and the reason I chose to ask these people is because they all watch music videos on a regular basis. Therefore these people are most likely to be my target audience so I need to know what they like and don't like within music videos. I asked six open questions so I could gain an in depth knowledge of what the focus group opinions were on music videos. I also kept the questions generic to all music videos as I am unsure what music video I am going to be creating.

This is the list of questions I asked my focus group:

1. In a music video do you think it is important to see the artist and why ?
2. What type of music videos do you like watching, abstract, performance or narrative and why ?
3. Laura Mulvey believed woman are placed in music videos to be viewed as sexual objects by men. Do you agree with her theory and why ?
4. Is it important for women to be a role model within music videos and why?
5. Do you think raising a social issue such as bullying, marriage and rape are all acceptable within music videos and why ?
6. Music videos commonly match the lyrics and the events of the video together. Why do you think this is and would it make you want to watch the video again ?

Online Survey

I have used a website called Survey Monkey to conduct another form of audience research. This is the link to my survey:

Analysis of Results:

I have chosen to represent my results via a video clip. Within the clip I analyse some of the results which were given to me and I start to construct my target audience from this.
