Planning Diary

Planning Diary

This above was also shown in my Storyboards section. It is the plan my cousin and I formulated on the first day of us shooting. This first timeline has changed over time however we have still used a similar one to the end of the product. As you can see, there is was a lot of uncertainty in the beginning. I used a lot of 'TBD' or 'Amalgamation'. The Almagamation meaning a group of a few different shots that I had not decided the subject of as of the beggining. However, now at the end of the project seeing the final product, it is much more clearer.

 There were a few different types of shots and locations that we wanted to use however found that we could not make it work or the location just didn't work out. There is a shot written on the timeline showing 'mini-golf' however this was one of the things which we couldn't do. I wanted to take a shot of a golf ball falling into a hole as the beat drops. I also wanted to do a scene on the beach with sparklers. However we had to move it and film this scene in the back garden of my Nan's house. We had to move it due to the fact we were unable to get to the beach on the day/time so it was much easier to just complete the scene in the garden. The supermarket car park was also an idea that couldn't entirely be completed. I wanted to film us messing about with a trolley in a supermarket car park. This also could not be completed due to the fact that we were not sure what time or what days would be best/least busy. It was also apparent that it would have to be at night and we could not scedule an evening to get there. A shot that did not work out was actually the original opening shot. It was going to be my character under the water in the bath who opens his eyes when the drums begin to play in the first two seconds of the song. This didn't happen because my cousin could not go underwater for the length of time. He also found it very difficult to keep his eyes open under there.

 Before even this storyboard the original ideas were actually a video shot in London, this using tube stations and big landmarks. It would have just been the character having fun at all the different places in the city. I wanted to do something like the video's below. I didn't choose to complete this idea because there wasn't a true storyline that could be followed. I also wasn't one hundred percent clear on what I wanted to do. It was easier and allowed for a better result by doing the music video as I have.

Textual Analysis - Toxic by Britney Spears

Toxic – Britney Spears Music Video Analysis The chorus lyrics of the song come from the other person’s perspective, in this case, it is the male(s) in the video. They’re essentially saying that Spears herself is toxic as seen in the video, however, it could also be taken the opposite way saying how Spears is killing the ‘toxic’ men. The line ‘Don’t you know that you're toxic?’ again could come from someone else’s point of view aimed at Spears but then could be seen as a rhetorical question or said by Spears herself to the male characters. The first line of the chorus ends by saying ‘I’m on a ride’ this links with the idea of the aeroplane, you ride an aeroplane. The lyric is linked with the video content. The entirety of the lyrics, however, could be taken in a completely different way and be a metaphor for the media. This song could be seen as a cry for help before her breakdown had fully developed. The media are toxic to those within the public eye, celebrities are highl...

Storyboards

Storyboards Original Timeline/Storyboard: Below is the original storyboard which was created on the day of shooting. We wrote this down to help us decided what scenes we were going to film and when. We ticked off the scenes as we went through and we still had a few scenes we weren't sure about/what to place at certain points. This piece of paper was really just an hour of us jotting down loads of different ideas and checking which ones we liked/worked best. We chose to cut up the timeline into different sections talking about the different sections, we wanted to be as exact as we could. Different Scene Storyboard: Next I did a simple storyboard just showing the different scenes I would be having throughout the video. Obviously this was done before the ending so not everything in the final product is shown here. I have included the main lip-synching parts however some of the orders of shots have changed. I made sure to include a variety of shots to make the video interest...

Intended Institution Analysis

Intended Institution Analysis Here is a Prezi I made including the institutions I think would publish my video. https://prezi.com/view/treUqiiORKPpfYaD0LQU/ As the genre of my video is alternative and rock, I think my video is more likely to be played on MTV Rocks or MTV Classics. These would be best suited to my video due to the fact that the target audience of my video will be watching these shows. These channels are more catered to the genre of my video. The TV schedule for MTV Rocks on December 6th 2017 As you can see, there are multiple different programs that Kings Of Leon and their songs could fit into. They could be included in 'Greatest Rock Videos of the century' as well as 'Rock Solid Playlist.' They may also do some sort of feature on the band as the ones mentioned in this schedule are ones of the same caliber.  The radio stations that may be more likely to play my music video are Magic/Magic Chilled or Heart. My parents listen to Magic Chilled...
