Health and Safety awareness of Our Filming

In our video we are going to smash up a clock, we have thought about the risks of this and we are going to do it in a controlled environment taking precautions so both the group and others around are kept out of danger.
We are also filming near the river so will also have to consider safety here as well. This is why we have checked the weather conditions which are meant to be sunny for the day of filming reducing the risk.

Planning for Filming lesson

In this lesson we are planning for filming, above is the weather forecast for the day we are filming so we can adjust what we are filming to the weather. Below is a picture of us beginning our ideas for our locations, shot types and narrative.

The scripts 'image'

we will style our singers image on the scripts image, as it fits well with the song and gives a strong base from which to build the rest of out stars persona for the ancillary products.

I would like to carry on developing my knowledge in all aspect do to with media both technically and theoretically. But also improve my ability when it comes to editing.

3. what are your ambitions for your music video project?
I aim along side my group to produce a successful video which looks good make sure we are organised and have enough time to edit it properly and not have to rush our project.

example of a time-lapse

This as an example of the sort of time lapse we would like to use for our music video. However we would have one person stand still for the duration of the time lapse, creating the effect that time is moving fast, which ties in with the title and lyrics of the song 'Live Like We're Dying'.

music video project pitch write-up

throughout our project,particularly the video, we are going to focus on a theme of time, such as clocks and a time-lapse. also for the album cover we have considered the use of either a sepia or black and white filter. For the magazine advert we had the idea of a clock (unsure if analogue or digital) ticking down until the release date of the album advertised.
