Richard created a electronic questionnaire which we have been sending a link to our target audience being 16 - 24 and we are currently waiting for more of a response to get reasonable feed back which will influence our video.

Planning Music Video - Shooting schedule

This Schedule that Richard put together will give us an idea of time and how long it should take us to film, and what to do in those certain hours. The actual date of filming is not a hundred percent at this precise time but it should hopefully be filmed in the coming weeks.
I added a bit to schedule in Italics

Time Job

Planning Music Video - Plot

"And the winner is..." Band Members.
Connor - Lead Vocalist
Tom - Bass
Harry - Guitarist
Jack - Drums
Pete - Guitarists

In the video we have decided it will performance based. The reason we have decided this is because as the band is new and this is their first video we wanted the audience to get a feel of what the band is like. This video is essential as we want it to be upbeat and energetic, so it creates the right atmosphere that the band want to portray.

By having a variety of slow motion shots (which we will do in the edit) and closes up to medium shots, this will create rememberable image of the band. To keep it energetic we thought of doing many quick edits. However in doing this we thought it may get confusing so this why we decided to add in the slow motion aspect to slow it down in parts.

We did consider doing a narrative based video but the band felt that they weren't comfortable in doing that for there first video and thought that they would do a narrative based in video in the future. Also we struggled to find a good narrative to the song that would convey the right image.

Planning Music Video - Location

With not being allowed to film at the St Georges church, due it being closed. So we are in a bit of a hurray to find a location to film the video, we then had a group idea of filming in a wood, we got this idea from the video by Paramore - Decode but with a mixture of Futures - The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
On the Thursday 16th we are driving to a local wood, Bawdeswell heath, to see if it is plausible to use the location to film at. We are also thinking of the woods at Wells-Next-To-The-Sea.
