Change Of Plan

As presented in our pitch Ceri and I were originally considering/basing our idea on using a Church as our primary location for filming. Due to setbacks with this idea, Ceri and I have decided to create still a performance video, however changing the setting to on stage with professional lighting. Many aspects of our idea remain the same; we will still be using "Bows" and "Freya Tamsin" as our dancers and artist, still be using the indie song "Take Me To Church" and will be using a church setting theme within the stage setting-we aim to achieve this by lighting techniques.

Our audience feedback was very helpful to us within making this decision, the problems raised especially about lighting in the Church, are all valid points which enabled Ceri and I to re-consider our plan. We are also not totally discounting the idea of the Church, who we are currently working with to understand what we can and can not film. The aim now regarding the Church is to look around the Church and possibly take some photos enabling us to gain authentic inspiration for the look we would like to create on stage. Our overall research and planning into the indie genre has allowed us to make this change without having to drastically change our idea. We intend for our video to benefit from this idea as we believe this setting change will allow us to create a more professional looking video. Ceri and I are equally as excited and enthusiastic about our new video, as due to our research we feel this will still fit to the indie genre and hopefully look effective.

5 Potential Songs

For this project I will be working in a pair with Ceri Lewis and before deciding on what song we would choose to use for our music video we shortlisted five possible songs. A clear theme between these songs is that they are all from the same genre of indie; we have chosen this genre as we personally have the most interest and knowledge in this genre. 1) Take Me To Church-Hozier A clear reason why Take Me To Church by the Irish, singer, songwriter and musician Hozier is a potential choice is due to the fact that both Ceri and I have connections with dancers who are experienced in performing this song. Due to their knowledge, reliability and their very professional and skilled talents we believe this would be an real asset to our music video, helping the video to look as professional as possible. We are also possibly considering having parts/all of the music video set in church, which would be an illustrative technique to create an very literal video. Also due to various connections

Lighting And Location Preparation

Image
On the 9th October 2017, we began setting up our location of the stage with the lighting we would like. We have chosen to film on the stage as this will allow us access to different lighting techniques, fits to the type of video we are hoping to create which is performance and is also practical as the stage allows for plenty of room for the dancers to perform. We have chosen to use the school stage as we have easy access to this and this is also a safe and secure environment for us to film our video in. The lighting we have chosen for our video is a purple lighting, with a stain-glass window projected onto the back wall and a spotlight on our artist. Ceri and I chose purple lighting as we feel this will create a moody and atmospheric effect however the purple is not too dull and will still look interesting on screen. This less bright colour of purple also represents the message of the song well, as the song is more of a slow/heartbreak song rather than a cheerful upbeat song. The pro
