Actual locations and props used for music video

I decided to film the band members at Woodthorpe Park in Nottingham. At the time of when I filmed, it snowed, and this was good because it added to the mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

The other location of which I chose to film was in a dark drama room in school. This was also a good location of where to film the band members playing the instruments and singing the song because of the plain black background. the darkness of the room created and reflected the gypsy punk genre of the song.

Here is one of the lighting props in which I have used for when I filmed the band play the instruments in the drama room. The lighting was used to to shine on the band members as they were playing the instruments and singing the song. 

Throughout my music video I have used candles, this is what I have intended to used from the beginning of planning my music video. 

When it came to filming the band playing the instruments and singing the song in the black drama room, some of the instruments and props we had did not match what I had in mind for my music video. I wanted to have a microphone and stand for the lead singer to sing the song. I was not able to include this into my music video because we did not have it. So I improvised by not having a microphone and stand in my music video. Furthermore, the drum kit in which we had, did nit have the stand to assemble it together, so I decided to show the drummer playing the drums scattered around. In my opinion, this looked better then what I imagined it to be. I think that the drum kit looks better then it assembled together as how it would normally be seen. 

I also used beer bottles in my music video, this is what I initially intended to used for my music video. 

 

As I first planned it, i have included someone smoking in my music video.

Deleted shots from my final music video

Above I have put the clips in which I filmed but I did not include them into my music video for various reasons. The reasons to why I have deleted the clips from my final music video are listed below:

·         Clip 1
- Shows my chosen drummer for my music video playing the keyboard. I initially thought that it would look comical whilst filming the band members playing the instruments. However, when it came to processing and assembling the video together, I found that it did not fit in. Moreover, it would be confusing for my audience to understand because they may get muddled up with who the real drummer and keyboard player is in my music video.
- On the other hand, I have included some clips where the drummer is playing the guitar. At first, I was unsure on whether to keep the slip in, but from feedback that was given based on my rough cut, people said that it looked good but also included humour to the music video. They also said that it did not look out of place and so it flowed with my music video.

·         Clip 2
- I have taken this clip out of my music video because I did not want to show other of the band members to be seen singing the lyrics of the song. This is because I want my audience to be clear on to who is the lead singer of the band in my music video.

·         Clip 3
- Based on the feedback given and my own perspective, not many people liked the scene of where the drummer is shown smoking. Some said that if there was smoking scenes, it should have been the lead singer smoking because he is the main person of the music video. The other point in which the smoking scenes were unfavourable was because it was filmed in a different location and so it did not correspond with the rest of the music video. With this in mind, I have still chosen to keep some of the smoking scenes in my final music video but I have shortened it so that the clip is not prolonged.

·         Clip 4
- I have taken this out of my music video because it was showing the band members messing about. I have kept some of the scenes where it shows this because it adds humour to my music video.

·         Clip 5
- This clip I included in my rough cut, however, in my final cut for my music video I have take it out. This is because I wanted the music video to end with the lead singer blowing the candle out and not the drummer.

·         Clip 6
- I wanted to show all the candles in a row. While filming, one of the candles fell over and so this was not included in my music video because it was not what I wanted to show in my music video.

Feed back from Final music video

From the feedback that I have had from my final music video when compared to my rough cut, people have said that it looks more professional with exception to the poor quality of the video itself. They have said that once I took the moving Lego man out it instantly changed by grabbing the audience's attention, because with the moving Lego man, the audience felt that they lost interest because it was prolonged. From my final music video they have also said that the timing of the lip synchronisation is good however, there are some clips where it is off time, but it is not extremely noticeable. They have also said that the costume and location choices match perfectly with the genre and the lyrics of the song that I have chosen. Moreover, they have said that the band image that I have created is clear and corresponds with the genre of music and my target audience.

The final music video

Above is the final cut for my music video of the song Fiasco by the band called Edelweiss. I have taken aboard some of the critical feedback given from my peers and teacher. I have kept some of the clips which some people said they did not think it would; however, I thought that it worked well with my music video. Some of the clips in the music video I found that it became blurry. At first I did not think that it worked, but I find that it adds to the mysterious aspect of the genre of the music that I have chosen for my music video.

Plan for Digipack cover

Below are the templates in which I intend to used to create my Digi pack cover and CD design.
