Picking an artist name

I used a name generator to come up with some names. I then conducted a survey using survey monkey to get peoples feedback on the names. The most popular was Jake Evans.
This relates to the theory making is connecting by David Gauntlett because the audience have participated in something online to create something.

Pitch

Health and safety evidence

This risk assessment will help me set up a safe area to film. It will ensure the safety of my performers and others around.

Planning for poster

My idea for the poster is to have Aidan sat in front of Kate. I am going to have Kate wearing fishnets continuously through my project to create a link between the video, digipak and poster. Although I am not very good at drawing, designing the poster has made me think about the layout and develop a clear idea.

Planning for Digipak

First draft:

Second draft:

 

Planning the digipak has helped me think about the layout and concept. I have decided to have a running theme of fishnets throughout my project.

Structure of my music video- Timeline

The timeline will help me when it comes to filming because I can think about shot types and develop my ideas. When I start editing the timeline will help me because it is the structure of my music video. I am going to use it as a basic guide and maybe change things depending on how the initial screening goes.

Analysis of song lyrics

Analysing the lyrics has helped me decided on a structure for my music video. This has made it easier for me to make a shot list/timeline.

Storyboards

  First draft for my storyboard:


By using this storyboard maker I was able to see how some of my initial ideas would look. So far I like the storyboard but I want to continue it on different software so I can experiment and develop my ideas.

This storyboard has given me an idea of the order of shots. The task will help me when I plan my timeline.

Filming/editing schedule

The schedule will help me organise my time and I can arrange filming times around when my performers are free. As it is on my blog my performers can access it easily to check when they are needed.

- Editing schedule put on after the 29th

Props list

I am not going to be using many props in my performance, I am only going to be using speakers and a mobile phone.

-I am going to use speakers at the start of my music video to show the start of my song is diegetic at first.
-I am going to use a mobile phone to show the texts being sent between my two performers.

Moodboards

Main performers costume ideas:



Record label ideas:



Narrative girls costume ideas:
These mood boards have helped me develop some of my initial ideas and made my ideas clearer. I decided to play a word association game to decide on a name for my record label. I then experimented with different fonts that look similar to to album titles and existing record label logos. By coming up with a record label I can now create a logo to fit with my music genre.

Inital planning ideas

My initial ideas are starting points for my music video. Throughout the planning I am going to add to and develop my ideas.
