changes in my plan

Talent Release Forms

Below are all the Talent Release forms of which were signed by the actors and participants that will take part within our music video. We had to get their consent so then we have permission to feature them within the video.

Here is the original talent release form that was distributed to each individual:


Here are the signed forms:

Here is a peer evaluation for my planning section on my blog.

Photoshoot

We created a Photo shoot schedule in order to plan and organise our time efficiently. By dividing the components and planning it, we are able to clearly see what we will need for each shoot; we possible wouldn't of remembered what we would have needed without planning and scheduling.

Location permission

CD designs

Explaining these ideas:

• We had many ideas for the CD cover and the above picture shows some of them. The front cover will have the artists face (Close-up of the face and then cropped to half of the face) and then a brick wall background to bring a sense of urban, city life feel that the feeling of frustration brings. However, it also contrasts the artists calm and bright appearance within the music video and advert. The album title is the song title, which is conventionally to most artists and also the font is jaggard and scratchy to convey the sense of frustration (concept). 

• The spine is bright yellow, with he text 'Not giving in' and the artists name. This represents crime tape and the connotations surrounding that, such as crime and also linking to the police integration room in the music video. Also, the back cover incorporates the hitting of the punchbag, and we would have the song names shaped to make it look like its apart of the bag. Another back cover would be the illustration of the artist in the field, using a fast shutter speed (15-20). This would express the feeling of freedom this location gives, compared to the other locations. 

• Where the CD is placed in the cover, a clock would be used to represent the interrogation room scene, and the waiting that causes frustration and stress. It link with our theme of not giving in and the waiting that surrounds that. 

• This idea goes against conventions of dance pop CD covers, however, the idea behind it is because our music video contains so much emotion and stress because of our concept and we felt this represented the feelings well. The eyes are often said to be 'the gateway to the soul', because they are expressive and many emotions can be seen through them. This made us think about having the artists eye, and turning up the contrast to make the iris stand out-still keeping to the bright colours of the sub-genre. Also, we thought about replacing the iris with the field from the music video, or blending two locations together to create a juxtaposition between the feelings of calm and manic. 

Advert designs

How to create this advert?:

This advert will be created using Photoshop. It will consist of 8 layers. Each of the layers as follows:

• Background layer ( Fence)
• Layer 1 ( Main actor- Scott Wells)
• Layer 2 ( Interrogation character)
• Layer 3 ( Work character)
• Layer 4 ( Dancer 1)
• Layer 5 (Dancer 2)
• Layer 6 ( Punch bag and fist ( Opacity to be lowered))
• Layer 7 (black background to the writing)
• Layer 8 ( Text layer "NOT GIVING IN SINGLE OUT JULY 2013")

This design shows the conventions used in other dance pop adverts. Having the artists within the advert and also having a mid shot of them is a convention as it draws the attention to the artists and tells the audience their important and its their album/single. Also the colouring is important as the bright vibrant purple links with the upbeat tempo and energetic atmosphere, but contrasts the situations (the situations are represented by the actors in black and white, they connote the concept of the song-frustration of not giving in). The artist is in the same clothing he was in for the video because it was colourful and made him stand out and be noticed. The song name is bold and big to make it stand out, with the release date at the bottom. We would also include the logos for the production company, and other logos to promote companies involves with the production and publication of the advert. We would also have the name of the artist 'Rudimental' or 'Scott Wells', this would be bigger than the names of the song title, and also be in a different font because that is the convention-this is done to make the artists seem important and emphasis their status.

Shooting Schedule

We created a shooting schedule and then uploaded it using slide share. Producing a shooting schedule allows me me to organise my time effectively and also break down the elements, such as costumes, props, equipment;some of these elements I wouldn't of thought of without the schedule. It also makes me realise ethe things we need to organise for certain scenes ,that we haven't yet such as actors or equipment booking.

Track permission letter

This is an email we sent out to the contact the record label, in order to request the permission to use their track. Its important to do this so that we don't breach any copyright or legal issues that surround the song. We have to make it clear also, we are not using the song for any profitable reasons but for the purpose of our Media coursework.
