Sixth take on Filming

A full day of filming was used here to capture the mise-en-scene of London. Not like the previous filming of London with the buntin and cobble streets here was a park, with famous landmarks in the background. This will be used in the opening of the song to set the scene. For the opening sequence the same location will be used but using different camera angles very much like previous music videos. 

Fifth take on Filming

This was a re-shot of our first attempt. This time we thought more about the mise-en-scene and visitied a local pier and captured many shots, of singles couple and also location. Many camera angles were used to capture the seaside retro feel.

Fourth take on Filming

Filimg on the white screen has meant reminiscient shots will look more angelic very much similar to Olly Murs original video:

With these shots Lens Flares will be incorporated to add to the retro theme and also give a professional look.

Third take on Filming

Using the woodland scenery will be for the reminiscient scenes of Fun and Love. We will liven the shots up with colour whilst editing to add the retro theme maybe using some of the styles below.

Second take on filming

Following the first attempt of filmimg Myself (Sam Robinson) and Faith Brackstone ventured to Greenwich and filmed scenes here. We chose Greenwich as it has a retro feel which complements the mise-en-scene . The london iconography; cobble streets, patriotic red, bunting, o2 and Canary Wharf. Our location scouting was perfect here as watching Olly Murs recent video the same backdrop is used with the bunting and street the two images directly above. At 1.20 on the video is the same location.

First Take on Filming

The groups first take on filming was to have the verse in the song:

Do you still pick up the seashells on that pebble beach?
Remember when that crab came up and pinched your feet
When that old guy gave us all those drinks for free
Do you still get knocked down by that Bacardi Breeze?

As we were unable to venture to the beach we decided to add comedy and have this verse performed on a green screen, and manipulate the background to look as though it was a beach. As you can see we have used a set-up so it looks 'fake' in some sense with the monitor being in the frame. However looking back on this footage it looked extremely amateur and did not follow the codes and conventions and have the right mise-en-scene to be Incorporated within the final video. 



Anciliary Task- Music Magazine

At the start of the project I was keen to create a music magazine, here above are three drafts which I created. However after research into promotion packages Magazines is not a typical convention and I have now decided not to embark upon this, even though following from previous projects this would be a strength it will not fit in with the promotion package.
