This spreadsheet shows our audience research that we have collected by asking people to complete our survey. The results show that most of the audience are under 18, and listen to folk music, which is the genre of our music video. It also shows that most people like to read NME and buy music from HMV or Itunes.
We have created an online survey for our audience to complete. This will help us distinguish our target audience and find out more about them. We have asked basic questions that relate to our choice of work. Our survey will be placed below, feel free to fill it out, it would be greatly appreciated. :D Thankyou!
After taking plenty of photos last week and repeatedly filming Brady running around in a field, we are ready to start filming. We need to choose our best clips and add a sepia tone effect, and then reverse half of the video. The music video should be around 4 minutes, half of which being reversed. :)
On Monday we began filming our music video, we went to Herrington Park to film parts of the scene there. After trekking to the top of a hill, we filmed Brady and took photographs while we tried a few different techniques. The weather worked out well as we wanted it to be windy but still sunny. It was a productive day and we got lots filmed. On Wednesday we went to Seaburn Beach and and recorded more for our video. We managed to get a lot of clips of Brady standing by the sea and a few clips of the waves. It was quite cold but not as windy as we expected and because it was still sunny it made the clips look better. We will continue to film more next Monday and Wednesday to finish the video off then begin editing.
After discussing things in our group, we decided it would be best to use one of the members of our group as our female actress, the actress is Brady. After our search for a male actor was not as successful as we hoped, we had the thought of using Brady's boyfriend Nathan as the male. This means that they will both have a better connection in the video and they will be able to work well together with things being a lot more comfortable.
This is another inspirational text we found 'The Verve- Love Is Noise'. We think it fits with our genre well and is slightly similar to our other inspirational texts. I like the sepia tone of the image because it looks really detailed and interesting. The title and band name stands out well against the photo, and the font is effective. There is text below giving information about the album, the white looks good against the image, but it is slightly hard to read all of it, so white is maybe not the best colour. There is a limited colour palette but it works, because the image stands out a lot, meaning not as much colour is needed. Although this is a completely different layout to our flat plan, I think it is a good advert and we could produce something similar to this. I like the vintage effect that is running through our whole idea and this could fit in with the category well. Despite the advert being quite plain, it is very effective and I think it would work well if we produced something like this.
Here are some youtube videos we found that include the type of effects we want to use in out music video. These are similar to how we want our video to look.
