Production log Week1


Weekly Productionlog


What I have done so far is getting everyone's approval for being in my music video I have also made them aware what their job role will be in this music video. This does not really fit into my production schedule as it was not on there but it is a start to the making of my music video I don't think there was any problems as everyone I asked has said yes the only thing that could really go wrong is that half of the people drop out but apart from that there is not any major problems that I could identify. If this problem occurs i will just simply recruit other people for the role. My plans for the following week are to make my action script so we have a clear and descriptive idea of what’s going on. I have now started on my shooting script and i have done about 50 shots out of approximately 150 shots although  i am quite far away it is still helping me sort out what i need to do. In the future this is going to help the cast and I know what everyone and i are going to have to do. I have also colour coded my shooting script to show what days i will be recording on which will make this very easy to follow.

Extra Details About Presentation


I have some information about the storyline of the music video. There is a boy and a girl that are currently together and the guy is a player  and he goes form women to women cheating on his wife but to make sure that the music video would be appropriate I have decided to add a twist instead of the man achieving his goals at the end of the music video which is going home with the girl instead am going to have the three girls that he cheated with gang up on him and at the end the three girls go home happy with each other and the man gets left behind obviously in a bad mood but then another twist will occur and you will see the man getting a phone call from another girl he smiles at his phone and then walks off into the distance. I have decided to change the location to a better place because I was just going to film it on Chadwell Heath lane but i thought to make it more interesting I would film it on the streets of central London as it would pleasing for the audience to watch and its busy which would make my music video much better.


Strengths Of Presentation


I think the audience thought my strengths were the artist’s persona as it exemplifies how my actor is going to be seen as it also shows the type of genre my music video will be. I also think that my storyline was a good base to work from as it would be entertaining to watch I have now built other ideas from this base to make it much better. My ethnicity was mostly black and I thought this would be effective because most people who listen to hip hop music are black and this is why the audience thought this was a suitable decision. My music video was also clear which made it easy to understand as the music video was narrative music video this makes it interesting for the audience when watching it as allows them to follow upcoming events with in the music video. I also used a range of different shot types to make the music video appealing to the audience as they would not just be looking at one type of shot all the time.


Improvements Of Presentation


The audience thought I could have expanded on my storyline as it was very simple. I used their questions to expand on my storyline and come up with a new and better one. The audience also thought that I should have been careful with the voyeurism aspect with in my music video as I had to be sensible on how far to go with the voyeurism I have took this feedback and have adjusted some parts in my music video to make sure it is appropriate to watch as it is in control of the school and I can only take it to a certain extent. I also think that I could have chosen better locations as they were quite simple. I was planning to do part of the filming on chadwell heath lane but instead I am going to change it to an exciting place to make sure the audience do not get bored so I was planning to film it in London or somewhere with the same energy to keep my audience interested.


 Changes You Will Make To Music Video




I will be changing the storyline of the music video as I thought it was sexist in a way. So now instead of the girl going home with the man at the end of the night I will have her throw a drink in his face and storm off alongside with another women he has been seeing. At the end I the man will get a phone call from another woman and walk off smiling. I have also changed the locations as they were quite simple and not very interesting. I will be making these changes because I thought some of the ideas would not be appropriate for the viewers of the school and i also thought that it would be better and more interesting for the audience watch.

Analysing my song


Analysing Your Song



Lyrics for my song


                         she a problem you know one if you solve one the crazy thing thing thing she on one she may be drunk may be in love maybe a punk she may be the dove maybe not though I think you may be a punk I’m saving son make way though coz I’m craving some fun let’s pretend this is an episode of flavoured love baby crazy lady your looking kinda fadey you and I going home tonight later maybe I can’t help watch the way that you grove breaking out moves the thing that people pay strippers to do get low baby get low put your booty to the ground and scrub the floor yo we all came to party  but this girl right here look like she wanna leave with somebody somebody indeed not guaranteed that somebody gonna be me coz

shes getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it

its in the gin hippy flipping the spin chilling in the din when will it end never that all like gentlemen jack feminine women  you’ll find him bending them back follow him salmin badbing badaboom boom boom boom boom boom smack give me that its ever than that ima termine tha mack homie and that a permanent fact observing her back while she serving my sack ima serve it to zack town mr certain to that beat knock beat up like pox chicken finger licken  dirty stinking pimp in the box that’s me world class nasty freak and I’m making her say uh like a master piece

she got to getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it getting it low scrubbing it low scrubbing it

scrubbing the floor letting everyone know she  on she on she on she on she in the zone singing her song bouncing her ass backing it up keeping it going she on she on she on she on I’m just watching her wiggle and dance those jiggly things dont fit in my hands she on she on she on she on having drinks was part of the plan party and dance dudes tryna get in her pants she on she on she on she on.

Section 1 - Target Audience 


The target audience for this song is for people who like hip hop and party sounding music mixed together as you can hear from the beat of the song. The age boundary for this song would be about 16+ as i think that this song could be explicit for any ages under 16.

Section 2 - Analysing Lyrics

The  lyrics with in this song are quite explicit and due to the fact that is is a hip hop based song the audience would expect it to be this way. When you read the lyrics you will notice that the artist who is singing this song is talking about girls in quite a rude manner and this expected from this genre as girls seem to be a object rather than a human being. Some people may find this song rude and some may just find it normal because they are accustomed to hearing these songs by now.

Section - 3 Analysing music


The music makes the audience feel relaxed and cool  as hip hop songs do. It has a nice flow to it which will keep the audience interested this is just a song to relax to as it does not really have an illustrating meaning. I think the artists views on women are quite negative as he talks about them in a dirty manner so i think i would need to watch the way i portray the actor when making some of the shots


Section - 4 Analysing the tempo

I would say the tempo is at a medium pace this allows who ever is watching it to feel relaxed when watching the music video. The song is to fast and not to slow which makes it flow when listening to it. I would need to add a large number of cuts to make it match with the tempo as it is quite fast and i think it would go nicely with the song.

Section - 5 How would you visually communicate this in a video


As the artist is talking about a girl in this song I may have to include something to do with a girl but I would need to make sure that it is safe to watch. The setting I would place this in is in a club/house party or even outside I would have the actors wearing hip hop clothes and the colour scheme would probably be whit/red/blue and black because those are the colours you associate with hip hop music. I think I would include flashing lights if the setting was in the club to give it that sense of realness so it would look appealing to the audience.

Creating My Artists Identity

CloudJumper





Picture- Could not find a picture for this artist
Name - Pacc Artikal 92 
Record label- None

song- Getting low

Brief information:  lives in Toronto, Canada. This artist seems like an easygoing artist he would like the people to enjoy his music and hopes we enjoy it. This artist mainly publishes rap/hip hop music videos.










Samples of clothing i would like them to wear









I have chose these pieces of clothing because they are quite flashy and look like hip hop clothes. I have chosen mostly black clothing because that is what we see mostly in hip hop videos I have also included a red and blue jacket because that is what we associate with hip hop music there are also chains to show that this is hop hop music as well.



Samples of typography I would like to use for my logo




I chose these because these are hip hop based fonts. The one where you can see the mans head is what most hip hop artists do with in their own typography and I have chosen all of these types of typography because this is what you would normally see as they are meant to look quite cool and flashy.

Types of mise - en - scene



 


The mise - en - scene that we see here backs up what we see in a hip hop music video as you can see we have girls half naked trying to make themselves look attractive. We also have groups of men together drinking alcohol or dancing with girls and the majority of the men would be black

Samples of i colours i would use for artist identity 



      WHITE





Samples of imagery their songs evokes in your mind




I have chose these pictures because when i am listing to the song it makes me think that the artist is wearing all of these items especially because its to do with hip hop. You can see this is a hip hop video from looking at these images because they things like jewelry shades and expensive clothing etc and this is what we see in hip hop videos.



A photo of the person i would have play my actor in your video.


 I have chosen him because for one he is black and that is what the audience would expect to see in a hip hop music video I also think that he is just naturally built for this role
