Filming 7/2/17

The walk to school sequence and poster shots were filmed today. The walk to school sequence was filmed just outside of the school grounds. As done previously I got everyone to do one take and then just have the protagonist in the shot. This is so that later in post-production I can make the band disappear but keep the protag on the screen at the same time

Locations (Music Video, Digipack, and Website)

For the music video I'm going to be using six different locations. While at these locations I plan to also take photos for the digipack and band website as this will make it feel like a proper promotional package rather than three individual things. Another reason is that I will have all the band members, so I should be able to get some group photos. The classroom/corridor scene will be filmed in school; the 'dark room' in a store room; band performance in the school hall; the walk to school/protagonist walking to be filmed near to where I live, and the bedroom scene at my house.  5 Ingleton Rd, Hasland, Chesterfield S41, UK | Instant Street View This is where I am planning to shoot the bridge/street scene, as it is a quiet location but has the potential to get a variety of shots. I could film on the top of the hill to get an establishing or a scenic background. It also has a bridge and a train line.

Best music videos of all time?

I've come across a few online articles when searching for the best music videos of all time, using ratings from NME, timeout and Billboard I've complied a short list of the music video that are considered to be the best of all time. Interestingly the music videos I've looked at are all completely different in concept and type.  Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Influence for the look of the video came from the 1979 film, Over The Edge. The band distributed out flyers two days before the shoot, asking fans to appear in the video. A radio station in LA (KXLU) also made a casting call for extras. At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version.

Initial Music Video ideas

I've started thinking about which songs that I can do for the music video task. I was think about She's Lost Control by Joy Division because I could imagine a narrative following a person that was lost control of their life. However I'm quite reluctant to make a music video for this song, even though it hasn't got one already, it's still quite a famous song and band, therefore I couldn't include a band in video and I like to idea of having both a narrative and performance video in one. Another song idea I had was Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice, I had a few ideas about this song but there is already a music video to it. She's Hearing Voices by Bloc Party is another song I am considering, as the lyrics are interesting and have a possible reference to the Matrix, which means I can include intertextual references in my video. There is also no music video to this songs,which is good and a narrative/performance video could work with the track. Joy Division -...
