Finished.
We have finished our Music video and our Ancillary tasks completely now, as you can see i have uplaoded my Cd cover and my magazine advert, but not the music video, this is because after we had burnt it onto our CD we had to put it on our memory sticks to upload at home, and then it told us we needed to change the file to a different type, as we gave in our video to our teacher on the CD we have no way of uplaofding it until after the weekend. On the upside, we are finished. And i am very proud of me, my group and all our hard work.

Editing
we began to edit our upload and edit out film, we began to realise that it was hard for all of us to edit at one time, so we decided as long as we where all there together helping with ideas that it didnt matter as much on who had the laptop the most. so when some of us where getting on with editing the other people where doing their ancillary tasks and so on. having new software was all a bit daunting at first but once we got using it it became very easy and we carried on using it.
here is some images of us editing our music video together;

Filiming.
ok so today we went out and decided we wanted to get the majority of our filming done this night as we would like to get on with out filming and ancillary tasks. so we went to our location and we did exactly that we filmed pretty much all we had to, we only had to make one more visit to film some extra bits we wanted to add in. Whoever was free did some filming to make it equal, (images yet to uplaod, coming soon).
Location, Props etc...
Ok so after going to tanas house and filming some footage in her house and in the surrounding streets, didnt go brilliantly, i mean we got footage but we didn't really have a proper plan written down, this is when the plan ( with the lyrics is planned out line by line in previous post) came into action. We decided as a group that the costumes should be changed for the characters as they where to dressed up and we wanted to dress down our video. The costumes are now as follows :
Sheila - April: Timberland sand colour boots, bright pink tights, denim mini skirt, Vest top and bringht pink puffa jacket, hair worn in a bun to one side, big hoop earings and alot of eye make up and over the top make up.
Georgina - Tana:(Overdose due to dads death) plain boots, jeans, top, body warmer, no make up except dark circles around eyes, hair pulled tight off face.
Jack/Narrator - Luke: as Narrator/Singer - indie look, checked top, hair to the side, plimpsoles and trousers. - as Jack: hoodie, a bit more rough looking with trousers/jeans and plimpsoles.
We found a location with a river, underpass, and a cycle track surrounded by trees, we shot most of our footage down there as it went so wel with our lyrics and our Mes-en-scene.
our props consisted of: a can of stella, a baby(doll), Drugs (in bag for deal), drugs ( tablets) and bottle of jack daniels for overdose.

Filming. BIG problem!...
Ok so today we went out with the camera to start our filming. BIG PROLAMO! we went out to film our video, or the begining at least and we was getting no where we couldnt get any footage we liked, and the song really wasnt working with anything we had planned. the shots where all going wrong. Funnily enough we was coming back from filming to go and research of another song, we was in the car and Jamie T - Sheila came on and me and my media group where all singing and had all these ideas about 'What if' we did this and 'What if' we could do this, so instead of saying what if, we put out plan in action and went back to planning for this song.
This is an image of the artist Jamie T
This is his album cover off the album Panic Prevention which is where the song Shiela is.
As you can see it is very busy and not focused on any one thing which is where i think we will probably change things when it comes to our CD covers but we will deal with that when we come to it.

above is the link to Jamie T's Video, however this is not his album version but we prefered this version as it was a little shorter and would suit our ideas better.
So these are all the lyrics that we planned out before we filmed -

Personal Identity Lessons
We have been learning about personal identity for our exam and how people can create a personal identity of themselves whether it be true or not. we looked at facebook alot and how people are stereotyped into being a type of person by how they type, or what they write about themselves. how often people are stereotyped is by what they wear, they are creating an image about themselves that gives others an impression. we spoke about social networking sites in detail and we learnt about how a social networking site works. We had a discussoin about Personal identity and went into detail about how people can be who ever they want to be through a social networking site/dating site or similar things as they have a barrier, people do this to 'fit in' or to 'stand out' people care so mnuch about their image and what people think about them that often there is a very big difference between the photos on someones homepage to what they look like in real life.
through social networking sites people can be whoever they want to be with out any one knowing, in a way i supose it offers a form of escapism for people. Like when you join the army, they shave your hair and you no longer have a name, just a number, and in the police force sometimes, you can loose your identity and be who you want to be.
People are often misled by social networking sites as people always take what they see as the first impression of someone and automatically brand them as a label or a 'type' of person.
A lot of media theorists such as Claude Strauss believe that new media such as the web is creating a different world where anyone can be invited into your lives. as the internet is updated so often it is so easy for people to find out current infomation on other people. it is so easy for people to create an identity of themselves as it is a blank canvas and you can change anything you dont like about yourself, as we all know in some situations this can be dangerous when people lie about who they really are.
As more and more people get internet phones they can get infomation even quicker than they could with just a computer or laptop as they can check what ever they want on the go. Peoples profiles on social networking sites say alot about that person and its that first impression that often sticks in peoples head.
The way in which people choose to present themselves on social networking sites says alot about people such as they way they type for example: if someone was to type a status on facebook like this : ii had Succh A Gd Dayy To0odaii. many people would label that person and they would come across as not very bright as they obviously cant spell/type properly, which is most probably not the case but this is what people will do. rather than if you use long words and type full words and type properly people will think oh that person is really clever when they could actually be getting the infomation and long words off of google.

we chose Hellogoodbye - Here in your arms. We have been planning our video.
we planned location, which was to use a friends house to begin with and then the surrounding streets, also outside our school and a shop. we then planned what characters we needed and cast the characters we had a 'Cool guy' (Conor) who is with the 'popular pretty girl'(april) that all the geeks want and a 'geeky boy' (Me) who chases the girl.
The costumes would be along the lines of this - Cool guy - branded clothing, jeans and a nice jacket, groomed hair and facial hair. The Popular Pretty girl - Blonde hair, a lot of make up, short skirt/shorts, lots of pink, nice car. Geeky boy - oversized glasses, bad hair, clothes all tucked in and trousers pulled too high, braces and long white socks.
the basic plan of the video was going to be from the geeky boys point of view and have day dream bubbles of what he was thinking, he would follow the girl and imagine himself with her only we would edit it to be the cool guy with her and the geeky boy is only imagining it.

We looked at a few songs on youtube of music vidoes, professional and amateur but this song stood out to us on you tube, and thought it was a good option because it was a clear song, with lyrics we can make a story to, its called Here in your arms and its by HelloGoodbye.
here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-KQ1tp_qOQ
and here are the lyrics - http://artists.letssingit.com/hellogoodbye-lyrics-here-in-your-arms-sknfc2n
and here is an image of the group 'HelloGoodbye'
as you can see from the image of the group they are quite quirky and different, and the genre of their music i would say is probably Pop, maybe a little rock/alternative.
from the video you can see that is has an easy story to follow and understand this is because the song is clear and the lyrics are simple.

11th January 2010.
My group is me, tana and april, we have decided today that we want to do a music video. we thought it would be the most interesting to do and would also suit us as a group, we believed we worked well in a group and we would get along. we got brain storming on ideas and decided that it would be better to choose a song you could hear the lyrics to clearly, so that we can have a story to it. we also decided we didnt want to lip sync the whole song but that a good video always has some lip syncing. we went on www.youtube.com to look at other music videos to see what was consistant and what was not. we also thought at first we should chose a well known song and then realised that probably wasnt the way to go about it. we realised that it is easier to copy ideas of a song if it is really well known as it is hard to sway away from the idea the original artist already got.
we have to have a promotion pack as well as the video, we all have to do individual CD covers and magazine adverts, they all need to be done seperately but must show consistancy.
we thought about the genre of the song and thought it would be best not to do a rap/r&b song as they are usually fast songs, therefore would be hard to keep a story to the lyrics.
