Reshoots

This video contains the clips and scenes which needed reshooting due to errors in filming, this process was important in making sure the video was to my standards. Reshooting took time but was vital in making the final piece look the way I intended:


Bloopers

Below is a video containing errors in filming, these were cut out during editing. I aimed to use a lot of footage, therefore when mistakes were made it was not an issue and could be easily resolved. More footage is better than less footage:

Rough Cut 2

Below is my second rough cut, the clips in the video are clips I will be using in my final product, the scenes are not in order and it has been randomly placed together. The intention of this rough cut was to view whether the audio (music) went well with the video. After viewing this rough cut I found that the song went perfectly with the video, and once it has been edited to my preference it shall be a successful piece. Although, I found this practise was very vital as it made it clear to me that I needed to use cross cutting in my final music video to keep the audience interested and engaged throughout the video and not the use of one continuous scene:

Rough Cut/Practise Video






This is my rough cut video, however it was more of a practise video and it was a chance for me to get a feel for using a camera and shooting scenes and seeing what goes well together, in addition seeing what doesn't go well together. I felt this practise was useful as it lead me to just focus my main video on Brighton beach and cafés and not adding extra scenes; which I tried here.

Style of video

After research of the style of video that I want for my final product I noticed that I liked the style which reflects the 1960s era and similar years. One particular artist I have noted is Lana Del Rey; majority of her videos have the same style and vibe and I feel that this creates consistency in her music and I feel it goes well with the music and videos, I wish to use a style for my video which is similar to hers. Below are some examples:

Style of video in the same band

I plan on mimicking the style of this video, it reflects the 1960s feel and this is what I am aiming to recreate and this is the same band for the song  (The Velvet Underground) I am using so this will aid me in trying to recreate a similar product.

Main character's make-up


Here are a few images of my main character’s make-up that I have decided on, the red lips and dark eye make-up was a popular trend in the 60s and I have tried to recreate that look.

Indie Music Video Questionnaire

As well as handing out physical questionnaires (as seen in the image below).  I have produced an online questionnaire (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/73XP3YB) for people to complete, therefore I can collect data from both aspects to aid me in creating an indie music video with the correct codes and conventions.


Indie Music Video Questionnaire

This my the questionnaire which I have produced so that I can gather information on what constitutes an indie music video, with the responses I collect I can cater my music video to fit in with codes and conventions of an indie music video.

Target Audience

This PowerPoint outlines the target audience my music video is aimed for, I believe it is important to have a clear idea of the target audience to help me cater for this particular intended audience and live up to their expectations for my music video.

Influence Video 1

DIIV - Wait
I was influenced by this video because I like the mise en scene and the lighting which is used throughout, I think it gives a 1960s feel and it links back to the codes and conventions of indie music which is what I am aiming to replicate.

Influence Video 2

Legend (2015 film)

I was influenced by this film because I like the mise en scene and the costume which is worn by the female character (Emily Browning), as it is a 1960s based film it mimics the 1960s clothing perfectly and this will inspire the costume used in my final product (music video).

Mood Board of location 2 - Brighton beach & pier

 
For another location I have decided to use Brighton Beach as Brighton is my main location, also I feel with my 1960s theme the beach would be a perfect location to tie in with the theme. In addition, Brighton's beach has a very retro feel to it and I feel that compliments my theme well.

Mood Board of location 1 - Cafes



For my location I have decided to base my music video in Brighton, the reason being there are many cafes/restaurants with a retro/vintage vibe and I think this will go perfectly with my theme and this will make the music video look more realistic. I plan on putting a filter over my final product. So, I believe this combined with the retro cafes will capture the 1960s well, which is my main aim.

Mood Board of make up inspiration - Twiggy

https://www.flickr.com/photos/134622234@N05/shares/aQ6s0c


I have decided to base my music video with a 1960s theme, therefore I need the makeup and costume of the character/characters in the music video to reflect the 60s vibe, therefore I researched make up ideas from the 60s and I came across bright lips, thick eyeliner and long (false eyelashes) and my main inspiration for make-up is the iconic Lesley Lawson, best known as Twiggy. I plan on reflecting this make up style in my final product.

Introduction



Welcome to my blog. My name is Kayleigh-Ann Cole. I am currently in year 13 and starting my final year of coursework for Media. This blog will compliment my final post of my music video. This blog will include the ideas and planning and execution that will coincide with the final product. This blog will consist of many elements; research, planning, analysis and evaluation. I plan on incorporating all of this to maintain the high grade I received last year.
