Final Music Video

Final Magazine Advert (Harry)

Magazine Advert Draft 1 and Feedback (Harry + Charlotte)

Feedback

I feel you could make this link to the video more - it would not sell me the album. Take photos linked to the music video and make it a little more creative

The font has made it look quite childish and quite basic - consider changing the font

Use the research you have done to inform your product

Record Label info should be at the bottom of the advert

Does the image have to take up the whole page? Again, link it to your music video and digipak

We will use this feedback by making the changes you have suggested as we all want to get the highest mark possible for our magazine advert

Final Digipak (Harry)

Digipak Draft 1 and Feedback (Harry)

Feedback

Please add in another 2 frames - make it a six section digipak

The writing down the spine is the wrong way round and is too big for the spine

Again, change the font

Use the research you have done to inform your product

There is too much sky

I do not get the photo of the park! 

Link it to the narrative of the video - having a good time!

You need record labels etc on the bottom of the track listing, like real media products

We will use this feedback by making the changes you have suggested as we all want to get the highest mark possible for digpak

Music Video Rough Cut 3 and Feedback (Harry)

Feedback

A good variety of shots
The video tells a narrative clearly at the start
Good use of jump cuts
Still doesn't feel quite like a music video

Music Video Rough Cut 2 and Feedback (Harry)

Things that work well

Your narrative start off well and builds up quite nicely, but you need to push it further

The performance section is a little more dynamic

Things to improve:

Wobbly camera on sink section

some shots are too long - maximum of 3 seconds for this song really

Charlotte has her lanyard on in the lip syncing

Michael is not singing into the microphone

The visuals could relate to the lyrics more

Lip syncing is out in the second section

Framing needs to be considered more

Why is Callum still in it?

We will use this feedback to make improvements on our work, specifically the areas that are mentioned in the feeback. We are going to solve the issue of the lanyard by re filming the recording studio scene to make sure we have got good continuity. We will rectify the lip syncing issues by using the apple macs to make sure we can get it as spot on as possible.

Music Video Rough Cut 1 and Feedback (Harry)

Feedback

Positives

Some shots are held steady

The editing at the start is much better than the end

Even Better If

Lip syncing was correct - it is completely out - who is Michael?

Remember there is a girl singing the song too! You need a girl lip syncing

There were more people at the party or Callum and Charlotte are just doing fun stuff together

The narrative needs to be clearer - show Callum and Charlotte meeting up and having fun doing loads of different stuff - there needs to be more variety of things involved - running through a field, at the park etc

Need different locations - too much based interior

The visuals matched the lyrics! 

Shots were shorter!

More content

From the feedback we have been given above, in order to successfully improve our music video, we will need to act upon it. To do this, we are going to re-film the lip syncing scene of our music video along with adding more sections with Callum and Charlotte having a "good time" (e.g. running through a park, playing on the swings etc.)

We are also going to ensure that we shorten the shots in our music video so that it will feel more like a conventional music video. We are also going to film again but in different locations, namely a park and a green playing field.

Final Scouting Locations for all 3 products (Charlotte + Harry)

Location 1: Charlotte's House

We used my house as the setting for the first part of our music video, and also to shoot pictures for our digipack. We spent time looking over the setting and decided that it would be suitable for the products.

Location 2: Samuel's House 

We used Samuel's house as the setting for the second part of our music video. After discussing the location over a group chat and viewing images Samuel posted we decided it would be a suitable location.

Location 3: Recording Studio, Eastman Building

We filmed the lip syncing scenes for our music video in our schools recording studio and also shot the pictures for the magazine advert. 

Location 4: Great Leigh's Park

We used this as a location because there is a lot of items in this park that we can use to show our two actors having a good time.

The reason we chose these locations is that for the main part of the music video we will be showing our two actors having a "good time" and what better place to do it than a park because there's so many activities you can do in a park and this would link about what's being sung in the song. We chose the two houses as an introduction to our music video and the recording studio is being used to show the artist singing the song which is incorporating a performance element in our music video.

Digipak


For our six panel digipak, we are going to use a variety of shots to show them having a good time doing lots of different things. We are thinking of shooting in Great Leighs park and Chelmsford city centre to get photos of them having a "good time".

Magazine Advert

To link with the digipak and music video, we are going to get a photo in this park (pictured above) of both of our actors having a good time playing on one of the items that is shown in this park as it links with digipak and also links with the song name "good time" because there having fun on swings.

The reason we have chosen these locations for the digipak and magazine advert is because these locations link in with what is going on, during the music video and it's important to establish a key link between the music video and the ancillary products.

Final Props Information (Harry)

Headphones

We are using this prop to show the artist in the recording studio



Microphone

We are going to use the microphone for the artist to sing into while he is performing the song









Football

We are going to use a football in our narrative part of the music video to show how Michael and Charlotte are having a "good time" doing loads of different activities.









These props will help show our narrative because the football will help us visually show what is going on in the lyrics and the headphones and microphone will help portray the artist.

Final Costumes information for all 3 products (Samuel)

Character 1: Narrative_Girl

Black jeans, Converse trainers, Black scoop shoulder top, Blue tartan t-shirt

Character 2: Narrative_Boy 

Black leather jacket and t-shirt

Character 3: Performance_Boy

Blue shirt, Black leather jacket, Suede trousers, Brown boots

We have chosen these costumes for our actors to wear because in our view, this is what we think teenagers would normally wear and therefore, to suit our target audience of young people, we are going to have our actors wear these costumes.

The final chosen costumes for the digipak and magazine advert are exactly the same as we are going to take photographs for our digipak and magazine advert when we are on location and are filming for our music video.

Shotlist for Magazine (Charlotte)

We have done this to show what type of shots we are going to be using in our magazine advert for our product.

Shotlist for Digpak (Harry)

We have made this shotlist to show what type of shots we are going to use in our digipak and we have assembled them together and put them in a shotlist table for the digipak
