What is your idea for the coursework at the moment?

At the moment the idea for the coursework is very vague and will definitely change loads. We haven’t really thought about the song all that much but we have decided that we don’t want to use the grime genre as we believe it would be too hard to work a music video into that genre of music. We have also decided that we will be using a song that we all like so that we can have four different views on how to film the video and what should be included in the video. If someone in the group doesn’t like the song, then they would become less involved and we believe that would reflect badly on the outcome of the whole project. We have been looking at different songs and reading into the lyrics to find a song where we can link both the lyrics and video together. When we decide on a song for the music video I will be shore to update this blog or make a new blog post on how and why we picked the song.

Who are you planning on working with or do you want to work alone?

In are group there are four people. Me (Jordan Rolf), Jordan Hayward, Jack Kirby and Luke Marchant. We decided it would be a good idea to work in this group for multiple reasons. Firstly, we all get on well with each other which means we will put in effort to help each other out with blog posts, filming and editing. We all also have our own special traits which we can contribute together to use in a positive manor.  For example, I have experience in editing and filming which is obviously very useful to use in media as that is what the subject consists of. We all have our own ways of contributing towards the team’s efforts which is exactly what we need to have a successful final outcome which is what we are all hoping for.

Where do you want to film?


Currently we are unaware of a filming location as we are yet to pick a song that we want to use. The location has to be dependent on the type of song we use as that’s part of the story. The location does a huge part in telling the story so it is important that we get that part spot on. I will update this blog post when we are decided on the location of the shoot.

(POST 56) - Evaluation Question 4

Arguably, the most important collective group of items in the production of media is the technologies that surround the production stages. It is crucial to have all of the correct forms of technology to be able to construct, research, plan and evaluate throughout the process. I believe the knowledge I have within technology that I have built up over the past few years of my life has given me an advantage throughout the production stages of the coursework. The combination of skills across my knowledge of technology, camerawork and editing have helped me to produce a much better post edit product. Within both the construction of and researching into the product we are building up to produce there was a varied selection of technology that we used to better are research. Firstly, we believed deciding on are target audience would be the best way to start out. We did so by creating a simple questionnaire on word in which we asked a range of age groups the same questions t...

(POST 28 ) - Planning, Casting and Characters

For the music video final piece we are going to have two actors who will take part in the main video shoot. The video starts of with the woman finding the man asleep surrounded by bottles on the beach. Clearly the mans life is in a mess so the woman takes him into her home and they get close to each other. They eventually return to the same beach where they both met on a date. Therefore we believe having two people who are already in a relationship will work or two people who look like they could be in one. For the woman role we were thinking of two people either Reya Muller or Georgia Bacon. We chose the both of them as they suite the role and would be happy to feature in the music video. For the male role we have two candidates as well them being Indy Holmes or Aaron Walker. Short Character Profiles Female role - The female character in this music video will play a supportive and caring role towards the man. She will show a clear amount of care and worry towards t...

(POST 34) - Planning - Directional Style

Is there a particular directing style you want to use? Examples of directing styles: Montage vs long shots where shots are longer and keeps the scene in deep focus which allows the audience to choose their points of emphasis. Also the mise-en-scene and the arrangement of the set is important in this directional style. Hollywood style where the aim is to make the audience forget the medium of the film therefore they use shots and cuts in order to make the audience seem like there is no technique. Finally they like to keep the video having a natural look to it. From this bit of research I think using a directional style can be helpful but at the same time as a pair I think we would use different parts of different styles so that we are using techniques that allow us to create exactly what we want therefore there is no particular style that we would want to use but we would consider using sections to create our own style to it. Are there particular directors you are inspired ...
