LOCATION CHANGE

Due to issues beyond no ones control I had to change my location, I am now filming in Lee's (male lead) kitchen rather than my Nans. This actually works to my advantage as I had a problem of wanting to smash plates but not being able to smash them indoors, however, because Lee's kitchen leads to both his front and back garden I can alter the shots to follow him - by a tracking shot-  into the garden where he will smash the plate.

PRODUCTION UPDATE

Filming Date: 16th & 17th November

Location: Nans Kitchen

Who can attend: Myself and Lee.
                               Nicole has other commitments all weekend.

I have booked a camera and tripod out from Ray - our media technician - and plan to film the bulk of my music video with the male cast member. The Kitchen scene appears significantly throughout in my planning and therefore by filming these scenes I can understand whether they are effective and hopefully can use some of them for my final music video.

ADVERTISEMENT

How existing artists promote their material and how I would advertise my music video to promote it and get feedback.

Advertisement is key when producing a media product because if the product is not advertised to the audience then potentially they do not know of its existence. Exiting artists choose to promote their new material via the internet on sites such as Veevo and YouTube, others tend to promote their albums on the television with adverts. These adverts contain the product in direct form giving previews to certain songs on the album of can be the backing track to an advert form a different media product. A new way of advertising has become popular on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, with artists giving previews and teasing their fans with new material.

Alt J's song Fitzpleasure is used to accompany a phone advertisement. This gets the song previewed to a mass audience and may fuel a wider audience to view their existing material. This way of advertisment allows the audience to seek the bands song in full and preview other existing songs and albums.

The Kooks chose to advertise their new album 'Konk' via the television with the main focus on their new popular single at the time of release. This appeals to a mass audience as the audience will preview the song and will create recognition with band and the album.

 

The Social Media is used frequently by artists as they can appeal directly to their fan bases on popular sites used frequntly by their audience such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Taking the material to the audience aids the promotion of upcoming releases and tour dates. Social Media sites are a great way of interaction between the artists and their fan base and allow the audience to feel apart of the bands journey through the music industry. The Social Media is a factor I will consider using to get feedback on my music video once it is created.

CAST MEMBERS

Nicole Dray - Main Female

Nicole is an ex Wyke College student, however, she is now attending a dance course. Having known Nicole for several years I am aware of her confidence and her ability to act and perform, because of this she will be an ideal cast memeber for my music video. Having suggested takeaway after filming finishes, she was willing to take part.

 

 

Lee Coyle - Main Male

Lee is a student outside of wyke college and has interest in the indie rock music genre. It is this reason as to why he would be a valuable member of my cast as I can relate to his other interests when choosing costume choices and iconography. He also was willing to take part in my music video when I suggested takeaway after filming.
