Meeting

Today we had a meeting about the progress that we are making. We have decided that the lead that we got for our music video wasn't up to standard and thought to start filming all over again. I have volunteered to be the lead singer as i think i can do a better. Below is a little part of the film that we have edited. 

The lyrics for Im Sorry

These are the official lyrics to Amanda Lucas's song given by amanda lucas herself.


I've never been one for apologies
You know for me, they never came easy
But I'm, I'm gonna take full responsibility
For everything that happened between you and me now



I've had some time now that I'm here on my own
To see things clearly, to see what I did wrong
And I'm, I'm sorry that it took so long
For me to realize that you're where I belong now


So many words I've been dying to say
So many feelings that get in the way
So many times I've pushed off all the blame
But not today, you know I


I never meant to hurt you, I know I don't deserve you, I'm sorry
I might have took you for granted, but I can't stand it.
It's killing me inside
All the times that we tried and all the tears that we cried
Just know that I'm sorry, can you forgive me?


Why are thoughts of you all I can find?
Repeating scenes of memories, that explode in my mind
And I, I wish that we could just rewind
Back to when I was yours and you were mine


So many words I've been tryin to say
So many feelings that get in the way
So many times I've pushed off all the blame
But not today, you know I


I never meant to hurt you, I know I don't deserve you, I'm sorry
I might have took you for granted, but I can't stand it.
It's killing me inside
All the times that we tried and all the tears that we cried
Just know that I'm sorry, can you forgive me?


Manipulation was my favorite game
Deceitful and selfish is what I became
It's hard to admit but I think you would agree
You're better off without me


I never meant to hurt you, I know I don't deserve you, I'm sorry
I might have took you for granted, but I can't stand it.
It's killing me inside
All the times that we tried and all the tears that we cried
Just know that I'm sorry, can you forgive me?

Explanation of the mood board

I created a mood board because it allowed me to show what sort of emotion, colour and props i want to add in the music video. It also suggests some ideas on the setting and the scene thats we might include. It brings all the ideas together as one and enables me to have a view of all the ideas that i have come up with and add in other ideas.

Costumes and props

For our video we first had to sit down as a group and plan out exactly the emotions we wanted to create within the video. We decided to create a sad and cold atmosphere; therefore we suggested that the main singer should wear cold and dark colours and make it seem like a cold day. We also wanted the character to look informal and more casual looking to give the music video a more urban vibe so that the young audience can relate


We also used different props to make the music video have some character. We want to use a musical instrument during the video because it will add some character to the singer. we also thoughts its another feature we could add and make it seem that the character only has an instrument to play and is very lonely. we also came up with ideas of the character doing other actions apart from just singing. 

Moodboard

Im sorry- animatic

In our storyboard we drawer all the scene that we are going to do in our actual video. I have taken a picture from each clip to show all the frames that we are going to do. To make the pictures into an animatic I uploaded it on Final cut express. I also put the song in the background so that you can see the animatic going with the song.

Digi-pak: Kelly Rowland

Examples of digipak's

Today we looked at some examples of didgipak's and how they relate to the song. One example is the Vixens' digipak.

I know that my group have to design a didgipak of our own to demonstrate how to create a package and how a whole music video would be produced.

We have to create a six panel didgipak and a magazine cover linked with our song. 

What needs to be included on our digipak: front, spine, back membership postcard/ fliers, lyric section, disk impression and artist information/ section.

This is another example of a digipak. This is by Alert Hammond and his album Yours to Keep. This shows a six panel digipak with two different images. You can see that when you open up the digipak it creates one whole image. The first three panels are the front, back and inside panels. These images seem like hand-drawn therefore the use of handwritten font on the front works really well. However he Second three panels are a picture of a sun-set with the band members in the frame. This at first seemed to clash with the other panel but when i analysed it closer it seemed to work together. Both of these images create a peaceful and clam atmosphere, and the three rabbits in the first panels have been incorporated in the second panels as it has the three members in it. Moving on to the actual CD it seems to flow with the ideas of the sun-set and the three rabbits. All of the the three individual pieces have their own images but the ideas created are the same.

Organising

Today as a group we sat down and discussed where we were going to start with the music video. We decided that first we need to put our story board up and then start filming next week. We also talked about the props, costume, hair and make-up of the character in our music video. All in all we have made good progress and made clear what we are going to do.

Summary of the focus group

We conducted a focus group where the age of the individuals ranged from 15-17. They were all females so this could be a problem because we don't know what males would have said about the song. we found that this song came across as being emotional and sad, and it made the group feel sad and emotional. When i looked back at the clip i found that the body language of the interviewees where sloped suggesting that they where moved by the lyrics. From this we have concluded that the way we are going about to film out music video, is that we are going to catch peoples emotions and make them feel what the character might be going through.  

Wordle of audience research

Survey monkey

We have created a survey from Survey Monkey to gather some information on research audience about our music. We wanted to find out what sort of music people like and what they like to see when they hear a particular genre. You can see from the results below what people have to say. the people who took the survey were aged 16-20 and majority of them wanted to see singing in the video and all of them said they liked pop music. they also want to see relationships in music video and thats what we have done and most of them want to se girls in music videos.
