Shooting schedule

Here's our shooting schedule!

Representations in our video

In our music video we are going to mainly represent young males and the differences in social classes. We will hopefully show how working class males perform in life and how they take advantage of education and end up striving for short term rewards as a result. This will be a negative representation but also positive because it could probably make other young males want to not be like that. Its also going to be a stereotypical representation because we will show the illegal activities youths get themselves involved in and how it can affect their lives. Also there will be some gender stereotypes present such as females just being another form of pleasure for males and males taking part in risk taking behavior.  

crew, mise-en-scene and locations

As a group these are the things we think we'll need to help produce our music video

Props:

• Chair
• Casual outfits (hoodie, trainers, jacket)- what our actor will be wearing
• Dark room- will be used for the lip syncing part
• Mobile phones- for the narrative part of the video and also to play music from to help 
• Salt/coconut bar/paracetamol- these will be the fake drugs
• clingfilm- what we will wrap the substance in

Crew list:

• Opportunity sampling- people available at the time of the filming
• Me, Richard and Deon - we are the producers/directors/editors/actors
• Richard will be the main guy in the narrative part of our video and also singing as one of the band members
• Aaron K- he'll be the guy who our lead actor sells drugs to
• Extras- may need random people lip syncing as well so we have a variety

Locations:

• Camden town/market- where the main part of the filming will take place
• House- we will film the fake drug making scene here
• School- we'll need to use the drama room in school for the lip syncing scenes
  
  
  The mise-en-scene in our video will attract our audience because it's a place they're familiar with or have heard of (Camden) so they would want to engage further and see what our video is about. Also the song is quite catchy and flavorful with the sound of the orchestra from the Andrew Oldham Orchestra project. 
  
  

  

  The drama room where we will film the lip syncing

  The lighting in the settings are quite dark and the locations are simple. This creates a mood/atmosphere among the audience because it'll give the video a more serious tone and communicate a narrative to the audience.

Equipment list

The list of equipment we'll need and why?

• Digital Video camera- We'll need this for the duration of our filming as the quality of the camera makes the video quality look better. also if we use phones to film it might not be steady as we want because you cant mount phones onto tripods like you can with camera

• Tripods- As mentioned previously we'll need to attach the camera to the tripod so we can film the shots that need to be stable during the production stages. We'll also be using it in the post production stages to film our audience feedback and maybe evaluation question 3 which is the directors comments which we will do as a group

• Lighting- For the performance scenes, we will need a dark room preferably with stage lights so we can have the singer by himself lip syncing. Fortunately we have access to these in the drama room

• Mobile phone- in order to get the lip syncing and actions as accurate as possible, we'll be playing the music from YouTube from one of our mobile phones to help

• Apple mac computer- during post production we'll need the mac computer to edit our video and create our digipak/digipak advert

Our Storyboard

This is the storyboard for our media project! 

When we start filming there might be a few changes but for now were happy with it

Audience questionnaires & Analysis of results

This is the questionnaire me and the rest of my group produced. We gave out 20 copies to the people who were available at the time (opportunity sampling)

Below is my analysis of the results...



Looking at some of the responses, we will take a few into consideration and apply it to our music video such as having a narrative based video and showing the band/artist in the video at times
