Location Photos

After the trip, we were allowed to explore central London to find locations for our music video which we will use in our Recce. Our main one was near Waterloo, which had a graffiti tunnel, this is our main location which we will use for our video as it is visually unique due to all the art that is there, this could allow for very creative shots which would make our video unique and appealing.

Media exhibition trip

We went to a music video exhibition at the Strand, called the 'Infinite Mix' which showed off different types of music videos made by artists. They were presented in a creative way and provided some inspiration for our own music videos. 
There were conceptual videos that were visually interesting and unique, this gave us inspiration for the type of shots in our video. They were all very experimental which was fascinating to watch, one video was in 3D and had very impressive shots that complimented the 3D.

One video that was of particular interest was the Kendrick Lamar one, as it fits the genre we chose and the video was a mixture of narrative and conceptual themes. Presented on two screens which shows different perspectives of the same thing which is a creative way to tell a story. The video featured varied locations that represented the genre well and creative camera angles and shots which is something we want to incorporate in our video.

Team Meeting: Storyboard progress

Iranadas will be drawing the storyboards while the rest of the group will plan the shoot and discuss shot ideas.

Video Pitch feedback

Class Feedback: the song itself was well received and was seen as a good choice as well as the case studies  we used, the conceptual elements were also seen as an interesting idea. However there were some concerns about the locations, as Sky Garden is hard to get in and places need to be booked in advance, so we should maybe use other locations if Sky Garden doesn't work out.

Overall, the pitch was strong and our plan was organised. To improve further we could have included ethical issues that could arise as that allows us to fix any problems that could interfere with making our video.

Annotating lyrics

Chosen Song

The song that our group (Aaron, Spencer, Irnadas) have chosen is 5am by Logic, it is a rap song and we all enjoy the genre, it allows us to make a performance based music video, however we could also add narrative and some conceptual elements, we will start planning the video by annotating the lyrics.
