Evaluation Question 4 (preliminary Task)

We used multiple different media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluating stage.
Firstly in the research stage we used mainly laptops/computers and the internet (specifically youtube and google images). We used this to firstly listen to the son and learn the lyrics, this was to try and spark an idea that could link to the song and its lyrics. We also used youtube to watch various other music videos from the same genre as the dafter dance so that we got a realistic idea of what real media products similar to ours looked like. We also used the internet to research possible areas in Norwich that we could use to create our media product.
For the planning stage we all used the internet and laptops to finalise research our locations. We also used phones to contact our actors and arrange filming times. We also used cameras to take photos of our final locations once we had been to see them.
In the construction stage we used video cameras to film our actual film along with memory cards to store our footage on. We also used tripods to stabilise the cameras and we used a drone and a go pro for some alternative shots. Whilst we were filming we were also still using computers and the internet to do regular blog posts about our filming. We then used adobe premiere pro on computers to edit all of our footage and to create our final media product. Furthermore we used a camera to take various potential photos for our cd cover and then used adobe photoshop to edit our chosen photo to create our cd cover.
During the evaluation stage we used laptops and computer sand the internet (in particular blogger) to continue with our blog posts and answer the evaluation questions

Initial Ideas

I have to so initial ideas, they are similar ideas but based around two different songs. I like to mind map my ideas because this means i can link parts together and getting everything down on paper before I start adapting it. One of the main parts of mise en scene that I want to focus on more than the others is camera angles. This is going to be important especially to show the change in perspective between the characters. It will also give the video an edge.

Song Choice

I've chosen to use Powerless by Rudimental as the song for my music video. This has been one of my potential choices from when I first changed my idea. I wasn't really sure whether it would fit or not but after I put it with my footage to see how they went together, I thought they fitted really well. I've divided the song into sections of the choruses and verses so that I can match my footage accordingly. The music video to this already contains a strong narrative as do many of Rudimental's videos.
