Last day of filming Re-shoot

After we had our teachers watch our 3 or fourth  rough cut, they said we needed structure for our music video, so we had to re-shoot scenes in Granary Square to add more structure and more footage. That day was very productive because we got numerous of angles, panning, tracking and movement, also different locations within the same area. 

Task 17 - Analysis of song choice

Edit sesh 1

Edit Session one included going through the footage and deciding which scenes and shots were good to use and which ones had to be deleted.

We decided on the footage that had the best lighting to ensure that lighting was consistent through out the entire video when it came to final production.
also we looked very closely at the steadiness of the footage and made sure that it was not too out of focus and made sure that it wasn't shaken too much.

we allocated and deleted the footage that we didn't need.

EDITING SESSION 4

EDITING SESSION 5

This is one of our final edits into our song, here specifically we are trying to dub out the inappropriate words from the song. this was quite difficult.
although we only had a few words to extrapolate, finding a sharp and clear cut was really difficult for us, and it meant having to go in and trying to get a clear cut of the sound exactly where it wouldn't sound bad or put off the rest of the lyrics and the lip synch.

After being shown how to dub on the software by the technician, we all used head phones to work out the best way to get the song to sound good after we manipulated it.

RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR ANCILLARY PRODUCTS (WEBSITE)

When initially searching for the artists, there is no actual link to their site as soon as google loads up, to find the website further research is necessary, this is also suggestive on the type of artists that they are, and the promotional tools that they use as seen they have a dominant use of social media rather then having a website for the audience to be connected with, this also shows that they are more active with their social media then with the website, this might be because it is more convenient for the artists, but also because it is where they get most of their audience attention and where the audience actually is.

Ancillary Work

The central image of this album cover are various diamonds layered out in scattered fashion. There is no font on the front of the album cover just the image of diamonds. the only text seen on the cover 'Parental advisory'. However on the back there is roughly 90% text and 10% image as Drake and Future feels as though the track listing that is the most important information the audience should be acknowledging. This is because they want us to pay considerable attention the names of the tracks. Each of their own synergy (Drake's OVO Owl and Freebandz Eagle) are included on the back cover of the album. The genre of the song or the rappers aren't linked to our artists as their music is totally different to ours, however the style of American rapping is similar so I thought this was suitable for me to look at Drake and Future's digipak for inspirational ideas.

Justin Bieber use the same colours 'Black, Gold and White' running throughout the whole package of his digipak. He is the central image of the album and also provides another picture of himself at the back as a technique to entice the young hard core fans as he already his looks can make them go crazy.

I really like that technique however as he is a pop singer it wouldn't fit the convetions if I was going to include that idea on my final digipak that I will submit as my target audience are older teenage boys and I doubt they'll want to several images of the artists.

Task 48 (ANALYSIS INTO SIMILAR PRODUCTS)

Central images are of Krept and Konan (K+K) looking onto a long road with a burning car, suggestive of the album name "The Long Way Home". Also brings images of a struggle, and might be indicative of the amount of time that it took them to get to the level of fame that they are at currently, such as being signed by Virgin EMI records.

The positioning of the artists is also significant to their names, Krept appears on the left and Konan on the right, similar to the way that their names are written and said. The choice of font used is a handwritten serif, in a dark red, this connotes the artists wanting to be a lot more organic, and relative to their audience, rather then being "perfect".

This type of text also goes with the type of painted image that is behind the text, there is a lot more image then there is text, this might suggest the importance of image to the audience and the type of branding that they wish to promote.
This might also be because a long time before they were signed, K+K used their faces as the most prominent form of branding and wish to to continue reaching out to that audience.

The back of the CD cover shows the list of songs that are part of the album. the text is a lot more formal capitals and is centred, going down in order of the amount of letters, tiered to almost form an arrow that points the audiences attention towards the road that leads us back to the title of the album, but also the recording label, which again is indicative of the struggle towards getting signed. The featured artists names are in a different colour to the song which suggests that although they are part of the song they are separate and independent from K+K

Summaryof a digipak

In lesson we discussed about Digipak's and Artists Homepages. A digipack usually has a close up of the artist at the front of the digipak to have a personal feeling for example Rhianna's Loud and Adele 25. Rhianna's Loud digipak followed her synergy of roses through out the album cover. It also had the corporate details and the tracklist.

We had a look at Adele's and Krept Konan website homepage. Adele's one was very updated, she kept it informal so it portrays a personal feel with out constructing a false persona. the homepage was very clean, had the latest topic at the top of the homepage and when scrolling down the second etc.  She also had links of where to buy her album from, videos and music , also her social networks.

Krept and Konan website homepage was very simple, they had their album cover as the background which kept it very organised and simple. They also did a type of line symmetry for the artist individual social networks, then also had little icons for their spotify, youtube and facebook.

summary of class discussion

In class we discussed different types of digipaks + websites. here are the following points that we discussed:

- the content of the images, for example Rihannas "Loud" album cover where there was a large image of her, and the rest of the synergy was made up of roses that was posted on the CD and part of the 3 section spread. This was significant to the image that she is producing for her self.
- we also noticed the size of the text that detailed the songs that were in the CD. we suggested that the smaller text connoted the importance to the audience , and artist. Next to the titles was a long shot of her, which was much larger then the text, which suggests that she is more important then the music.

Summary of class discussion around the importance and function of digipaks to music industry.

In lesson we looked at two digipaks from Rihanna's album cover "Loud', Adele's '25' album cover and Lady Gaga 'Fame the Monster' and how they displayed their artists for them to be branded. As we discussed the use of digipaks we learnt that there's a huge importance of using a digipaks because it promotes the artists and also gives them an image. For example Rihanna's album cover 'Loud'

Here we can see that Roses are used as part of her synergy, which is evident in the background of her digipaks and also shown on the two CD's that is provided within the album cover.

We also looked at the Adele's website, where we're able to see her tour dates, behind the scenes clip (Putting on make-up) before performing a little live performance (song from her latest album cover). She even provided us with

Summary of Digipak

Digigpaks are a great way to market the artist/s and a physical interaction with the audience. Digipaks have specific features they will highlight to portray the artist. They normally contain a 2 CD's as most commonly found and show a tracklist.

Some of the digipaks I have analysed are Rihanna and Krept & Konan. First of all both artists are in different genres, Rihanna who is mainly Hip-hop and pop while Krept & Konan are Uk rap and hip-hop. This is higlighted in their digipak as they will have different target audience.

For example here is Rihanna's digipak:
Here as we can see for the front cover of the digipak there is close up of the artist. This gives a notion to the audience who she is and reinforce the fact that the digipak is all about her. The font is very simple but sophisticated. The use of synergy has been used successfully, we can see the colour red is a feature which is omnipresent throughout the digipak. She also has a display of roses onto the CD.

Progress Review

How successful do you think your blog details the research, planning and construction stages of your music video?
i think the research section of our music video is top notch as i have done thorough research looking in different types of artists and their fan base. this has set me up to having a creative mindset of how me and my group constructed our artists 'Melz' and 'Joez'
Planning is great because our finished looks exactly how we want it to be suggesting we take a lot of time and effort to visualise how the music video is going to produced and how it will be percieved from the audience which i'm proud to say that we played terrificly. Thus we finished the music video in no time at all.
The production/construction of our music video is brilliant because we worked effienciently with the time and managed to finish constructing our music video well before the deadline which is amazing.
My individual blogging right now is 68 which i'm pretty happy about, this is becuase i'm to produced 100 quality blogs by the time my coursework is due therefore I plan on doing daily blogs.

Group editing and final changes

Outline of improvements needed before deadline

We showed Louisa and Marisa (my media teachers) the footage of our latest music video. They suggested that we should improve on:

The structure of our video; they said it was evident that we just put the all the clips on adobe premier and just cut it whenever we heard the beat. Whereas we should of structured with day scenes first and then add the night scenes afterwards which actually makes it visually better so we are appreciative that our teachers told us that comments. Thanks.

What me and my group are going to do before the final deadline:

For the first intro we're going to show establishing shots (day ones) in the beginning. As well as use cameos that are in the day aswell.

We decided to use day scenes until the flicker is heard where on the last beat on the flicker, we will then transition to the night scene.

Rough Cut !

Here is our rough cut of 'Melz X Joez - What Do You Want From Me from their Upcoming album !

Filming reflection (Canary Wharf)

We decided to film in canary wharf because the estate had put up christmas lights and location had begun to look quite appealing. however we found out that we didn't actually have permission to film in between the buildings. so we had to find somewhere quite and not get any company names in the footage.

After we reviewed our footage we found that there was very little movement and the camera was very shaken. To improve this we need to make shots that had a lot more speed in the tracking and had better framing. From our last filming session we needed to improve the lighting, so we used the Top Light on the camera, mainly because the light was white and was easier to focus on the artists.

The audience and marketing campaign is centred around the audience being able to relate and be close to the artists, so we used a range of medium and close up shots to produce this relationship between artist and audience.

I filmed this because we were alternating in turns when it came to filming, directing, and sound management. I tired to incorporate all types of movement walking back and forward to make the end product interesting. although it was cold I tried my hardest to make sure that the camera was focused and was steady.

As we were location hunting we stumbled onto a building that was lit up with blue lights, we thought that this was a perfect back drop and the area was well lit. Also we had a lot more ground to film on so we were able to move around more without going against the risk assessment criteria.

Filming (Millennium Bridge)

During this filming session, mel and Joseph performed the song underneath the bridge. This was mainly because we were all afraid of heights and we didn't want to sacrifice anything like damaging the camera or other people on the bridge as it was also quite busy. 

Curtis was in charge of the filming, and I (Bilal) did lighting and Music. My job was to manage the sound and placement of the music so the camera and performers were able to pick up the music. 

Overall I performed this task quite well and was efficient with the music, to improve I would put the lighting in a more useful position, because after we reviewed the footage we found that there was parts of it where Mel wasn't visible in the shot because of the lack of lighting, and other parts where there was too much glear in the glasses prop. 

These are my targets for the next filming session

RISK ASSESSMENT UPDATED FROM THE PITCH

Risk	Prevention	After incident protocol
Dropping the camera of millennium bridge	Make sure that the camera is   secure on the tripod/ fig rig Ensure that the filming is carried out with two people, one person making sure that there is no member of the public that is at risk, or increasing the risk of the camera dropping	If the camera or any equipment does fall off the bridge, we need to notify college immediately via phone and then follow the technicians instructions carefully
Being hurt/robbed/in life threatening danger	Make sure that the equipment is escorted from an outside location carefully, especially being careful in the dark not to go down quite roads or be loud and boastful about having any equipment. When possible making sure that the equipment is carried by more then one person to	Call the relevant emergency authority, make sure the persons parent or carer is informed of the incident, and then make sure the college is notified about the injury. If the equipment is stolen and no person is harmed, then we need to call the technician and follow the instructions he gives us.
Making sure the camera is safe from the wind/rain	Check the weather prior to filming and ensure that there is going to be clear skies and no rain. If the weather updates are showing nothing clear but it isn’t raining at the current moment, set out but use an umbrella.	If raining heavily and BBC weather updates don’t show a break to better weather cancel filming and adjust the schedule. If camera does get wet, remove the SD card while it is still functional, then shut the camera down and ring the technician, follow instructions.
Getting ill/cold	Because the filming is going to be done during the winter, we need to make sure that the costumes match the genre and conventions, but we need to be dressed appropriately for the wet and cold weather to ensure that there is no member of the group unable to film.	If anyone does fall ill then they need to inform the group via “watsapp group chat” to ensure that we can either film with out them or cancel filming and arrange another time. Take the necessary medical steps such as visiting the doctor or A&E if the situation is bad. Notify the teachers that you’re going to be absent.

My time filming the music video

This is a presentation of our filming days and how it went; including the good parts and the not so good things. I kept adding/updating to this presentation as I thought it would be more entertaining watching our filming sessions all in one slide plus it'll be more easier to read as well.

Analysis Of Digi pac

Reflection on progress.

So far in the blogging process, I would like to be honest enough to argue that actually I haven't improved since last year with my bogging. 

Although I do understand that blogging is a key component in the course work. I inefficiently manage my time, don't reflect on feed back regularly and don't add detail in places where it is deemed relevant. 

To improve and get my blog to the standards set, I need to: 

- Focus on relevant tasks, that are pertinent to the activity that we are doing. Such as filming, editing or evaluating work. 

- Need to improve my time management in order to make sure that I'm doing as much as I possible can in the time that it provided 

- Start to incorporate more use of technology, such as Prezi, Emaze, and video files via YouTube. 

I hope to implement these improvements before the music video deadline. 

UPDATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

We are trying our hardest to make the video mirror a real products campaign. Here are some of our latest posts and the reason that we posted them.

I regularly enjoy taking pictures with my group, and want to convey a group effort in our work. I also want the audience to understand that hard work we all put in to make sure the work is really good. This was found when I researched existing products and artists, this may be because it's a practical easy way to credit people that are involved in the production process through a picture and 'tagging' options. This ensures that everyone gets the publicity that they deserve equally. 

I found that it has become a large part of grime culture for the artist to become a large part of the post production work such as editing, this is because they want a sense of ownership with their music. We wanted the audience to be able to see the work that all of us were doing to make this product and be able to relate with us, as most of the audience are engaged in something creative. However, this proved to be more practical in terms of the course work, our teachers are able to track the progress and give feedback.

 

Questionnaire feed back.

Here are the responses from our research and my findings into a video.

(need a flip cam to record the video, rest of the blog will be completed at college week beginning 30TH NOVEMBER)

Analysis into target audience of Grime genre.

To ensure that I understood the target audience, I made a questionnaire to find out the most I could so I was meeting the requirements, and had the most coverage amongst the entire audience.

Here are some of the questions that I added and an explanation in RED to analyse why I asked it specifically.


1. What activities do you enjoy participating in? 
- to get an understanding of the types of hobbies or interests that they have, to make sure that we are relating to the audience, so they continue to listen to our music. 

2. What is your ethnicity? 
- this may lead us to understand the political stance that they may have, to make sure that we dont go against that and end up loosing audience members because of something we make social
- To understand the ethnicities of people that listen to our music, including that of other grime artists. 

3. What brands do you like to wear? 
- so we can add some of these to our costume during production and planning stages, and include relevant objects in our campaigns

4. What social media do you use?
- all of our campaign is digital, we have to make sure that we are reaching everyone and are releasing content or engaging with our audience to the extent that we can. Examples such as Instagram&Twitter. 

5. What technology do you use? 
- might be able to integrate our campaign with the technology that is most used for example we might be able to partner with samsung for an event.

Filming at Granary Square 27/11/15

 Due to our feedback from fellow peers and teachers. Our rough cut was overall a good piece however an issue that was repeated from most was that we had shots cutting in between night and day. Therefore we were advised to have the day shots first then have the night shots. We didn't have enough footage for the day shots so we had to go out filming. We decided to film at Kings Cross, Granary Square. Here's a few pictures.

Filming at Tinseltown

I really enjoyed this shoot especially because I got to have a cheeky meal. Bet your jealous! This shoot went really well. We were filming Joez narrative where he is at tinsel town with his new girlfriend. Watch out for this scene in the music video it is an exclusive. I filmed that day and I believe I got some good shots and angles and I'm sure my group would agree. It was nice to film since I was the artist and I didn't need to film any of my bits that day.

Tackling editing

Taking on editing was a real pain. Just getting the shots together was really stressful but as time passed by and the more editing there was. I felt like a natural. I really and truly have to credit Joseph because he was the one who was working the magic. We were able to put the base tracks and here displayed we were adding slow motions. I developed my skills in using premiere pro in further depth and I really enjoy it. I'm even thinking to get my own MacBook and continue this skill I have learnt.

EDITING/ ROUGH - CUT FEEDBACK

While we were editing yesterday 26/11/15, we asked our media teacher Marisa to see what we have done so fa. the feedback we got was the its going on really well just that our nights and day scenes should be separate so for example start with all the day scenes and let it flow through the song till the night scenes to add structure to our music video. So today 27/11/15, we are currently going through all our footage and selecting all the day scene and contemplating if we should reshoot more tomorrow morning (28/11/15).

Rough Cut feedback

Positive points from the feedback:

- Audience enjoyed the fact that we introduced the artists at the beginning, they found that it was quite effective.

- They also liked our use of locations and the range of shots that we have, for example specifically with the graffiti in South Bank and the sky scrapers in Canary Wharf. They also found that it fit very well in our genre and matched with similar products.

-they found that the costume and wardrobe that we chose, went well with the music and therefore works well with the genre.

Points that need to be improved:

- at many points in the rough cut, Josephs head is cut out of the shot and wasn't in the frame, to improve this we have already re shot some of the scenes and have corrected the problem

- the audience saw that we did end up producing shakey footage, which doesn't look appealing and isn't part of any of the codes and conventions of the genre, and therefor doesn't need to be incorporated.
to improve, we have decided to only use footage in the establishing parts of the video that is completely steady and looks more clear.

- they felt some of the artists establishing shots didn't work very well with the actual video and it wasn't smooth, to improve we have decided to follow the suggestion of moving that completely to the end and then beginning the lyrics.

Filming session 21/11/15

On Saturday we re- shot  the base track in Canary Wharf because their was problem with the framing. But we got it sorted when we filmed on Saturday making sure the camera wasn't too close to the artists face. Our costume changed because of the weather conditions ( a picture of the costumes below). The re-shooting will be our last filming session and we will now be concentrating on our editing and putting this project together !

Photos of the costume change:

DELETING SCENES

We have decided that we would not be reshooting the Millennium Bridge scene anymore and will would not be using it in the music video due to finding better locations for that scene.

NEW COSTUMES ADDED (AGAIN!)

Here's a slideshow of the new costumes added for our new locations we added

Filming Today - 20/11/15

Today we filmed in Carnaby street but in a side road called 'Marlbourough Court' and we also filmed in regents park. We had to film in two different locations because we needed to add more base tracks to our music video to shorten down scenes. Today was very productive because we doing cameo's of our artists doing their own verses separate in different location, then together in one location which was really good !
  We watched over the footage and we would not be re-shooting this scene.

Our costume today was a new addition to the costumes due to this location and filming being last minute. 

Heres a slideshow of Today !

Friday Filming - Kizoa Online Movie Maker

Evidence of filming - Monday 16/11/15

On Monday we filmed, one narrative scene and a base track in the evening. While editing we that we would need to re-shoot this scene because our artists 'MELZ X JOEZ' heads were being cut off so we had an issue with the framing.

Heres a lil slideshow of us filming on Monday:

Instagram Posts

We are trying to ensure that the PR and social media campaigns are just like a real product. We got to promote our artists and portray their activities to the fans therefore they will feel like they have a connection. We are trying to have an interactive audience.

Also shout out Tito who came to be our video, look at her in that picture, working the camera.

Feedback

This is a presentation of constructive feedback that me and my group take on board.

What went well - Wednesday Filming part 2

Filming in Southbank in a graffiti tunnel broke away from our normal riverside, city design and suave look. This was good because it showed another side of the artists 'MELZ X JOEZ'. This was a productive day because we done the full base track very effectively and quickly for the first time LOL! But it was a good time filming

Our costumes today broke away from the 'suaveness' because we felt that it would be nice to see an other side of the artist the 'grime' genre coming out at the end of the video. so we kept it cool with all black (Black jacket, black t-shirts and black jeans)

Also Thank You Rhiana Letts ( group ) on suggesting this location :) 

Here is a picture of the location: 

What Went Well - Monday Filming

On Monday we filmed twice, once in the mid afternoon and once in the evening. we filmed in the park opposite Saddlers well theatre were we done Joez's narrative scene, it was a really productive day because we got different shots and angles so when editing it would look awesome !

Secondly, we filmed in Canary Wharf. Filming in Canary Wharf was the best to be honest just because of the location and the building and how it looks especially in the evening. Also filming in Canary Wharf was productive because we got two base track sorted in two different locations and we enjoyed ourselves. The new costumes added went to plan. 

here's a picture of us and (Joez in a Blue denim shirt and Melz in a white shirt, both wearing the classic glasses you mostly see during the video)

Addition to costumes !

Since we have added more locations to our scenes we have decided to add more costumes to where in that specific location when filming. Heres a slide of the new costumes picked

PHOTOSHOOT SETTINGS

Today we done a photoshoot for 'MELZ X JOEZ' it went well we had loads of different shots. Some snaps of today

ADDING OF LOCATIONS

I (Joseph ) went location hunting last week Friday and saw some amazing areas in Canary Wharf near the Station and also a Tunnel in Southbank which is full of graffiti (A picture of the specific location not available yet),  so as a group we've decided to add the location to one of our scene to make a base track

EVIDENCE OF FILMING DAY 4

Yesterday, we filmed 'Joez's; house scene. It was a very productive day because we got loads of shots and cameras movements . Also the costume planning went well. We wont be reshooting this scene 

 

Also here's a flipgram :

What went well Day 3

DAY 3 WAS THE BEST DAY !!!

The weather was perfect lighting was perfect, we had to postpone day 2 filming to reshoot on day3 because of the weather. We completed a whole base track for our music video, we may go back to re shoot some couple scene just add some more shots and some camera movement. but day 3 of filming was the best. The costumes had us looking suave how we wanted to! still following our synergy monochrome. We are still scheduling when next we can film!
The costume we used we followed our synergy and the pitch, with our black roll up jumpers and black ripped jeans.  Here's a flipgram: 

What went well Filming day 2

Basically ...... BRITISH WEATHER HAPPENED !!! So we didn't get to film because when we arrived at our location the weather was fine, during the time of us setting up wet showers started to happen and it was too much for us to film in the rain, so we planned we would reshoot the whole scene which was meant to happen on day 3. Again, the costume went well as planned. 

What went well - Day 1 filming

On our first day of filming, we decided to film our last scene which is at the location of 'Tinsel Town'. we decided to film this first, because it was very easy scene to film.We kept the camera work to a minimal, because this scene will be in a spilt screen and it won't bee too long. But if we have changed our minds and want to tweak some of ideas we will just add more shots to this scene. 

The costume we planned went well, it was according to our synergy which is Monochrome. 

Below is a flipgram:

The key element that we are going to use all through out our work is going to be the costumes as black and white, also going to be used in the digipak and website here is an example of some of our costumes as a draft:

In the ancillary part of the production we are going to use the same font across the digipak and the website. again staying within the monochrome theme that we have chosen. 

I (Bilal) have personally chosen to use the London sky line to use the location as part of the synergy, and will find a black silhouette of the buildings. 

Industry - Curtis Laurencin

Industry

Virgin records is a British Record label owned by the Universal Music Group that formed in 2013 and we think Melz x Joez should be signed by Virgin Emi Records. This is because they are one of the best records label in  the UK and they have the funds to allow to us to make the music videos how we want it to be.

Which other artists are also signed to this label?

Krept and Konan

Lethal Bizzle

Kanye West

Kanye West

Lethal Bizzle

Krept and Konan

Would your song be available for internet download only?

No, as we're signed to a well known record label we believe that our song can be purchased on  itunes and the Android Store.

Will you be signed to a major or independent label?

Our artists is quite similar to Krept and Konan so we feel like our artists should be signed up by the same record label as them.
