Props

.A note saying 'Im sorry'- this is the note that her love leaves her with, and the only thing she has left besides her engagement ring.


.An engagement ring- this ring has the words 'I love you' carved into it, this is ironic in the music video as he doesn't mean it anymore and leaves her which is why she cant let him go because she still has prove that he loved her.

Editing

To edit my music video i am using 'final cut pro' on a mac computer. I have never edited before so i went onto youtbue to look at some tutorials on how to use final cut pro.

 
This helped me work my way around final cut pro and meant that when it came to start editing I was aware of what to use and how to do it, meaning I saved more time and avoided making mistakes.
 
 
These are some print screens of me editing my music video and some of the tool I have used and why I used them.

Shooting-equiptment used




Sony Handy-cam camera
This is the camera I used for filming. I found this camera easy to use for hand held shots and gave a clear recording with professional footage.

 
 
 



 
Nikon d40
This is the camera I have used to shoot the photos for my ancillary texts, I found that this camera gave professional looking photos suitable for my digipack cover and poster found in a magazine.

Shooting Diary

Shooting Diary

Sunday 23rd November-Today I shot a minute of footage with my model in two different locations, I went to Normanby Park to shoot and I also used a bedroom. When shooting I tried to follow my story board but found when I arrived at the location different ideas came to me and different shots looked better than the ones I had planned. I had filmed just before sunset and found that the sun setting created a nice background/ silhouette/ and a pan ( the sun glare was visible of the camera as in panned round making an effective filling shot)
Equipment used was a camera and a tripod, props included a note and a promise ring.


Saturday 31st January-When I shot today the weather was snowing so it affected the amount of time me and my model were able to go outside and stand in the cold filming, I also think it affected the shots I was able to get and the quality of them. I filmed in three different locations today, Normanby Park, bedroom and a car. I also refilmed some of the footage I got on Saturday 23rd November because I felt like the lighting was better.
Equiptment used was a camera and a tripod, props included a note and a promise ring.


Saturday 21st March-When I shot today the weather was cloudy but it didn't affect my filming. I made a last minute decision to film out a manner house as I thought this could help the narrative of my story and created interesting mise en scene in comparison to my previous shots where the mise en scene only included the woods and wasn't as interesting to look at. I filmed a lot more hand held footage today because I felt that my video lacked movement. I finished off all of my filming and now I can edit to see if anything needs to be redone or is missing.


Wednesday 25th March-After editing my footage I saw that I had two shots left to film but because it was short notice I couldn't get my model to help but it didn't effect it because she wasn't it the shots I needed to film so I filmed and used myself in the footage.

Choosing a music label

The music label I have decided to use is Syco Entertainment- founded by Simon Cowell and a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment(SME)




This is the label I have chosen because Syco focus mostly on young, pop artists which is what my artist would come under. Artists such as One Direction, Little Mix, and Ella Henderson are signed to Syco and I think my artist would fit into a major label because she is a pop artist and would appear in chart music.

Confirmed concept

 

 
The confirmed concept for my music video is a girl who is madly in love with someone who doesn't feel the same but won't let her go, he promises her everything but gets nothing. She has to keep chasing him and cant give up on him. She feels alone even though he is there.
The concept is to have my model waking up alone with a note saying 'I'm sorry' from the man she is in love with.she has to go and try to find him but she can't, she looks at the  ring he gave her trying to find whether it means anything. She goes to his house to look for him through the window but no luck. She looks as if she is going crazy and in the end walks away.
