PRODUCTION DAY PLAN

 

Introduction

On the 30th September we were given a day off timetable in school, and were allowed to book equipment to experiment with techniques and technology we plan to use in our coursework. To make sure we used our time effectively and tried out all our essential shots, Clementine and I made a plan on how to spend the day. Typically a school day is made up of 5 lessons, so we dedicated each of these hour long periods to a different technique. 

We had a few shots that we knew we wanted to try out:
  • A spinning transition to represent the characters two personalities
  • Capturing a reflection in a puddle
  • Using editing to make the reflection in a mirror not match the movement of the character
  • Using a projector to display images over the character for dramatic effect
Keeping these techniques in mind, we made a structured plan for the day, designating an hour for each shot. For shots that would take less time, we designated time to review the footage or reshoot anything that wasn't successful. We left the final hour to begin editing, so we could try out the mirror shot. We also planned to use the opportunity to try out equipment we hadn't used before, such as the crane.

Inspiration

We used certain pieces of inspiration to choose which effects we wanted to try out for our music video, and prioritise them within our schedule. Several of these ideas were used within our pitch, and were shots or techniques we wanted to try recreate within our video.

LOCATION SCOUTING

Image
  Introduction Clementine and I were looking for two key locations for the music video to take place in. We drew inspiration from scenes in Fleabag (2016) and Taylor Swift's music video All Too Well: The Short Film (2021). We decided on filming the two parts to our film in a kitchen and dining room, and in order to film a shot we had in mind they would have to be connected. At first we considered using the school cafeteria as a location for the dining room, as it could be made to look like a restaurant setting, however we realised that in order to have the characters arguing in the kitchen it would have to be filmed in a home environment. Our main requirements was somewhere dark with warm lighting, so we could create an intimate dinner party scene. The clear next step was to evaluate the rooms in our houses. Inspiration Kitchen ...

GENRE RESEARCH

Image
  Introduction In order to understand our target audience and the conventions of our genre, we did some research to better prepare us for the task of creating our music video. With the help of interviews conducted to discover our target audience, along with sources online, Clementine and I determined that the song we selected fits into the 'alternative genre'. This a broad definition with various sub-genres, despite online sources varying, 'Under the Table' more specifically fits in to 'alternative pop/rock'. Origins Above are some artists that are considered alternative. The alternative pop/rock genre was originally influenced by late 1970's punk-rock, and is a term used to refer to music that is distinctive from mainstream or commercial pop or rock music. Merriam-Webster defines alternative music as "music that is produced by performers who are outside the m...

DIGIPAK - FINAL PRODUCT

Image
  Final Product To create the final product we combined all the edited pages and placed it onto a digipak template, as if it were for an actual product and we were going to print it out. On the left is the template I used, and on the right is the final product. In order  to show off the final product, I also edited the images to show what the final digipak would look like if it was printed off. This was done using an app called sketchbook, which is intended for digital drawing but I discovered it is also very useful for manipulating images.
