Lighting And Location Preparation

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 projection of the church window will add a literal and illustrative technique by representing the Church element in the song.

Below are photos of the setting up of the lighting and stage:

Pop Taylor Swifts music video to her 2014 pop song "Blank Space" follows the conventions of telling a story, so a narrative music video.

The female is portrayed to be very feminine with perfect make-up and hair and often dressed in dressed and lighter colours. The video is presented to the audience through the viewpoint of Taylor/character and links to the theme of the song. For my own music video I will take inspiration from the way a narrative style as been used, as I feel this is very effective in conveying and relating the song and the narrative this brings to audiences. As a narrative this keeps audiences engaged and interested until the end of the video.

Twitter Feeds

Ceri and I decided to create Twitter pages for both our artist, Freya Tamsin, who will be starring in the music video as our main singer and a page for our dance duet, Bows. We have decided to create Twitter pages for both our singer and dancers, as they are both play an equally important role within our current video plan. By creating Twitter pages we are able to make our artist, dancers and music video more realistic. In today's modern culture many people within the music industry have their own Twitter feeds, allowing them to have a more interactive relationship with their audiences. Twitter is also a very common way that artists release information about their upcoming work, as this will reach very wide audiences. Within "Freya's" Twitter page we have used a photo of her as her the icon photo and then a photo of a crowd at at concert for header. This would clearly demonstrate to audiences that this Twitter page is for an music artist; the photo we have used for ...
