Editing and Filming Time Schedule

Filming and Editing Schedule.

Digipak Plan (Sketches)

For this we had decided to choose between two different digipak covers as we wanted to create a different style. We either wanted to go for a skeletal inspired digipak cover (idea 2) or a more modern-galaxy inspired digipak cover (idea 1). As we had developed the ideas of the second album more, it is most likely that we will end up doing something similar to this with the final digipak.

Magazine Advert (sketch)

For this we had decided to use The Vaccines poster as inspiration along with Lorde's album cover. This had allowed us to have a deeper look into what ideas we may have for the over all final piece for the magazine advert.

Locations

The main locations we have chosen are a bedroom, the hallway and a kitchen. Seeing as all of these are within a home, this will allow the overall sibling connection happen between the two main characters.

KITCHEN - My house. 

The kitchen scenes will happen towards the beginning/middle of the music video with making cups of hot chocolate and the sister leaving the other. As there is plenty of room in the kitchen, we will be trying to get a range of shots such as close ups and long shots of the main characters.

 HALLWAY - My house.

For the hallway scenes we thought that this could be used within the beginning of the video. We will also revisit this location towards the end of the video as we want to show the sister coming in from her night out. 

STREET- a quiet road.

The street will be used breifly as this will be used to show the main character/performer running down the road in a sense of panic for the other main character. For this, we will try to film on a dry day as we don't want to damage the equipment. 

BEDROOM - My House

The location will be used quite a bit throughout the the music video as this will be used to show relaxation and the introvert who is the main character.

Props List

We have decided on these main props to definitely be in the video. As we go along, we may add more in or take things away

Storyboard

This is a rough storyboard for our music video, we had decided that we wanted to stick with two main characters with a sibling bond which will relate back to the lyrics. One of the characters will be rebellious and the other will be more mature than the other character. We are planning to have the rebellious character get into some sort of trouble and then the main character save her, as sisters and siblings should. We will be trying to link this back to the song's lyrics as much as possible. 

Letter To Artist's Label

Dear Virgin Records,

I am a Sixth Form student currently studying Media and for a part of our course work, we have to create a music video, a digipak and a magazine advert. I am writing to ask if I am allowed to use CHVRCHES song "Mother We Share" and your company logo as a part of my coursework as I would like my overall coursework to look realistic and professional. This will only be used to make a music video to show how capable I am at making a music video. The music will be used for educational purposes. I will not be making profit from the music video. 

Thank you for taking time to read this letter,

Yours Sincerely, 
   Bethany Eastman

Moodboards

With this moodboard, it shows the different camera angles we were hoping to use along a variety of props, costumes and amount of people used within one shot. We have chosen styles of American Horror Story Coven, CHVRCHES (our main influence) and soft grunge. We will also want to use affects like using a projector within the performance structure. We will also want to use conventional props within the music video such as a microphone and instruments which are to do with Synthpop. We also want to include a sisterly bond between the two characters. We will also want to think about composition within the music video.

Health and Safety evidence.

With this, we have carefully selected the hazards to where we are planning to film our video. So the majority of the hazards we have chosen are outside in public where there is a chance that props or equipment might be stolen, lost or forgotten. We have also gone with typical and simple hazards such as tripping over the tripod which could lead to damaging the camera and other equipment. One of the main precautions we shall take when filming will be checking the weather before filming on particular days. By doing a risk assessment like this, it will make it clearer to to know what control measures we shall take when we do our filming of our music video. This will also allow us to understand how much we should take as we don't want to damage any of the equipment.

Analysis of Lyrics.

Mother We Share - CHVRCHES (Lyric meaning)

for this task, i had to listen and analyse the lyrics of the song "Mother We Share" by CHVRCHES. We have learnt that the song lyrics give off a sibling relationship vibe after analysing the lyrics compared to an ex-partner. After analysing the song lyrics, this has given me a clearer thought to what the music video could be about and what type of characters and the narrative structure could be about.

Initial Planning Ideas

Initial Planning Ideas.

"Come Together" - Echosmith

"Mother We Share" - CHVRCHES

With this task, we had started off to think  about the songs we could do along with the different and then done mind maps of the two main songs we could choose from. Doing the mind maps, we had also thought about what type of characters would be good within the video (e.g. a girl or a boy). Whilst doing the planning ideas, we had thought about the conventions of the genre we had chosen to do. We wanted to do a song with tempo changes and a good storyline which we could follow whilst filming.
