Shots- try outs

Here, we are trying out some shots and angles that would work the best for out first part of the music video. This is a long shot (because we can see the whole of Laura's body) of Laura walking towards the door.

We have done these range of shots to see which would work the best and from which angles.
Next, we are going to show 'try out' videos that we have also done. These are a range of videos that have been taken with 3 different cameras. My camera, with the 'burst' effect, creating lots of shots within the space of seconds, Shannone's camera that has also done a 'burst' effect and the school camera that we used for simple videoing.

Credits and titles

These are some ideas for the credits; we are going to use plain black t-shirts with spray paint across them.

 

 

Mise en scene

Looking at other artists and the 'Sound of the Sirens' themselves, we have decided to follow their foot steps and stay conventional to folk genre. We have decided to go for the girly and gentle look.

 



And the girly shoes..

The male is going to wear jeans, shoes and a nice shirt.





The white shirt- t-shirt will make the male actor and the female actor match so that the audience know that they are a couple. The jeans will keep a 'down to earth' look, making the song seem more comfortable and calm.


















Make up is going to be natural and pretty to stay committed to the genre and no extreme hairstyles!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Props

Guitar is going to be essential- but is not a problem because both me and Shannon have got one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location

We were thinking about having a location somewhere calm where there aren't many people about - possibly a field. The lighting in that lcoation needs to be natural and bright- on a rainy day, we are going to have to go indoors and play around with the lighting there.. We also thought that shadows may work well for this genre and lyrics to emphasize on the jelousy that is shown through out the song.

 
This is just one of the locations that we may use. This field is next to the "Fox Wood" in Lincolnshire.

 

We are however going to use Laura's house too ..











 

Similar artist

We have researched similar artists that specialise in the folk/ acoustic genre.

Emeli Sande



Emeli Sande is one of our similar artists becasue her lyrics are about love and have a certain message to put a cross through her songs.

Adele



Adele is singing about love and her songs are quite emotional. These two artists are similar too; The clothing is similar and the tone of this song is similar. Adele's balck and white video adds to the
emotional tone of this song.

Research and planning-practice shots

Our actors

We have taken these pictures to try out what we are going to do at the beginning of our music promo. The black and white colour scheme is staying because it emphasizes on the fact that it is not part of the actual music. Also, 96% of our target audience had said that they like an introductionary story at the beginning.
