Final video

Responses from final video

hey guys, so I handed out a feedback sheet to 15 people to get an idea on how people thought about our video....

Overall, the responses were really positive. Everybody either gave us a 4 or 5 which is what we wanted to see!! We received a lot of positive comments on the cloning and that it was seamless, which is brilliant when trying to create a realistic music video!

First draft

Hey guys, so we're really excited to show you our first draft of our music video. We have asked for criticism and feedback from a range of people which I will share on my blog soon- so be sure to keep updated.

Personally, I feel very happy with this as we achieved the vintage, fun look we were aiming for, here is our first draft....

Target audience review- video half finished

Hey guys, so as you know we've started editing for our music video, however, we haven't finished just yet. We wanted a little bit of feedback on the work we've done so far, just to know that our target audience enjoys it- here's what two of the people we asked thought of it...

Risk assessment

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have just completed our risk assessment for our music video. Throughout our video, we do face a few risks, so we felt it was essential to carry out an assessment.

Filming process- 3

Hey guys, so a few days ago we filmed the Matlock bath scenes. We did gather clips outdoors, however, when we came to film inside the arcade, we didn't get permission to film. Here is a clip of our process

Instead, we have come up with the idea of filming inside a bowling ally which I have emailed before hand seeking permission.

We have also come up with the idea of filming at either Mine or Connors house of the cast playing board games; we'll let you know how it goes :)

Album Cover

So, we've done it, the album cover is complete, it's simple, yet effective. Another media student came up with the idea for the album name which is Anarchy, hope you like it...

Album cover process- 1

Hi guys, so we've started our album cover designs, I really like this idea, as it's simple and looks so good. We've added four character or 'foreigner' designs that feature throughout our designs, but I used serif draw plus to outline this icon. I then got a picture of the sky, cropped it, copy and pasted this, then mirrored it, so the sky looks mirrored. Although I mentioned we want to keep a consistent colour scheme of yellow and grey/black, this album features blue's and white, however, our band colours are yellow and grey/black, these colours feature on our merchandise and websites.

Storyboard

Hi everyone, so Me and Connor have finished our storyboard, here it is...

The drawings aren't very good at all, however, we wanted to give you a rough idea of what shot will go at what point of the song- be sure to check out the shot list to give you more of an idea of the shots we will use.

Band Name

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have finally come up with our name for the band. We wanted a long band name as we liked the length of the name 'Two door cinema club' and it fits well as our music video is a song by Two Door Cinema Club. Drum roll pleaseeee........

Ancient Pyramids And The Foreigner!!!

I really like the name of this as its something completely different. We decided to call it this as the group within the video will be 3 boys and 1 girl, so the ancient pyramids symbolise the boys and the 'foreigner' symbolises the girl. Hope you like it!!

Logo feedback

Hi everybody, so we recently received feedback from 10 individuals from our target audience, about our logo designs.

8 out of the 10 people we asked said they preferred this logo as it seemed more professional. One individual said 'they like how the wings blended in with the rest of the logo'. Me and Connor have decided that we will use this for our final production logo as most people who we asked liked this one more than our second logo design.

Logo's

Hey guys, so we've recently designed a two logos for our company. We're not too sure which one to use at the moment so over the course of the next few weeks, we will ask a few people who match our target audience which one they prefer. These designs were inspired by Tame Impala's album covers which I will link down below.

I really like this design as it keeps a consistent colour scheme throughout (yellow 

and grey) which I really liked. I thought it was very simple, as we don't want it

to be over the top, as its just the production name.  

I really liked the bright colours, I feel they contrasted nicely with the outlines of the two heads and the white writing of the 'Conabel Productions', it also caught the audiences eye which they then look straight at the two heads.

Narrative

Afternoon! So, Me and Connor have recently just done out pitch video which I've just uploaded, but I wanted to give you an insight on the narrative of our music video as it wasn't made clear within our pitch and we have altered a few things.

We aim to first start off the video with one of the charcters putting headphones in and closing their eyes to symbolise the following clips the audience is about to see is almost dream like. We're still keeping our initial ideas of a 'hide and seek' game and adventures but adding a twist.
We want to create the illusion that the character (character 1) is watching in on himself/herself having fun with friends, almost ghost like, trying to get their attention only to find that their friends can't see the character. We want to make the character confused that no-one can see them and make it seem like its real when really, its a dream. At some parts we may want to use a cloning technique so be sure to keep checking my blog for our practice of this! To finish off the video, character 1 would then open their eyes all for the audience to find out it was just a dream.

The reason we decided to change our mind was the original narrative seemed too simple and there wasn't anything significant that would grip the audience. We felt that the use of the 'ghost' effect would be more interactive for the viewers.


Attached below is Mine and Connors brain storm of our narrative, it took us about a day to come up with this, enjoy our hardtoreadcolourfulposter :)

Pitch video

Hey guys, so Me and Connor have just finished our pitch video, keep checking my blog for more about our narrative as our final plans have been made (and you're in for a treat)...enjoy

Copyright email to Glassnote records

Me and Connor have emailed the record company in order to receive permission to use the song 'Undercover Martyn' to use for our final music video. Here is the email we sent,

One page pitch

Here is mine and Connors one page pitch for our music video. This states our initial ideas and what we will base our music video on.

Song for our final music video

Hey guys, so I've finally decided who to work with for my final music video and the song we're going to do, me and Connor have both decided to do Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club.
I think due to the upbeat rhythm of the song, it allows us to have fun and experiment with different things, I feel that as its got a fast pace, we will have to use a lot of fast cuts and quick transitions. We aim to make the video using vibrant colour and a lot of lighting to give a happy feel. We do face a few challenges as we will be filming in winter, so we may have to add the vibrant colours in the pro-production stages. Here is the song we're making the video to....
