Attleborough Boxing club

Last week I went to Attleborough boxing club to see if it would be suitable as a film location. I spoke to the head coach and manager, Jon who was very helpful and introduce me to someone called Levi Dennis, who has started full time training and is the same age as us.
He said he was happy to be filmed training at the gym but when I asked if he would be up for filming outside of the gym in his spare time he didn't seem so keen.

The gym itself is perfect for the type of location we wanted, with the gym and outside areas we can get lots of footage. One problem I did notice was that the lighting wasn't very dramatic and for a match low key lighting would be good to give the footage more of an edge. We will probably look in to supplying our own lights.
Jon also invited us to film at Connaught hall on the 19th of November when the club is hosting 18 bouts of boxing. This would be really good footage to use for the music video so me and Rosie are planning to go.

Final Plot Ideas (Preliminary Task)

This is our final plot ideas: The main character (a young boy) puts on his superhero mask and runs into his garden to get into his tent/den. The tent then transports him into another woodland world in which there will be others all dancing. In the middle of all the dancing and partying in the new forest the young boy will trip up/fall over in some way and as he hits the floor he will be transported back to his garden and outside the tent/den. The boy will then realise he's back home and may be greeted by his mother asking wheres he been (that scene will be dependant on availability of actors). We tried to keep our idea as simplistic as possible, this was to ensure that we didn't over complicate the meaning of the video which is simply just about the young boy enjoying himself in his own imagination when he has the safety of his superhero costume on.

Questionnaire

After publishing my rough cut I made a short questionnaire to get some constructive criticism to use to make changes before submitting my final cut. I got really good feedback from my questionnaire about my rough cut. There was mostly 3s and 4s for how well people understood the narrative. I was quite happy with this because the video isn't suppose to show the whole narrative but it's aim is to introduce the characters. My target audience felt that the video strongly fitted with the song, with most people voted a 4 or 5. I'm really happy with this and it means I have been able to recreate the emotion of the song in the video. Most people said they liked the way I cross cut between the two characters and the variation of shots. The general consensus was there was something missing from the video, a couple of people suggested a third element of artist performance that could link the singer to the audience; I really liked this idea and decided to look into it further. ...
