Production Diary

Production diary- As the months go by... September We've been given our mission! We've been researching songs without music videos already, that we personally find interesting I chose 'Cheap Kicks' 'When They Fight They Fight' 'Diamonds Are Forever' As me and my group partner charlotte liked the Generationals "When They Fight They Fight" we decided we would start making plans and thinking of narratives for our story board. We finished making the story baord within about a week or research and further brainstorming into the song. Myself and Charlotte felt it was important to embrace the feel of the 60's the song gave off so basing our inspiration for the band and style of the music video around that era really helps the flow of work within he group to prepare for filming. We have connected a phone up to the speakers in the main hall and played our song whilst I lip-synched to the song.Charlotte filmed by using a tripod. After some discussing as a class with Mr Anstee about research into our target audience, we have decided to gather together a focus group of around 3/4 people tomorrow in the common room, period 3. In which we will ask them some questions after they have listened to our song. We will record this discussion on one of our cameras then upload, and later evaluate the feedback so we can gather more information about our target audience which should spark ideas for us. Myself and Charlotte have met in gentleman's corner, where we had organised for Will, Jack and will to discuss and answer some questions about the song choice and ideas that entered there minds when hearing the song. 20th september 2012 - In this lesson we spoke as a class about 'Treatment' which we have to complete over the next few days. Rosie and me also came up with the name of our band 'Daisy and the dollybirds'. During this lesson we spoke about possible girls that would be suitable in our band, we chose and confirmed the husband James. Also came up with costume, hairstyle, make-up, location ideas. 25st september 2012 - Miss Brookes gave us a helpful worksheet today with 10 shots that we had to film during that lesson, so using one of the schools video cameras we used the schools locations where I filmed Rosie testing out the different shots and realising how difficult they are!
