1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge the forms and conventions of real media products? I personally feel we conformed to real media products. Our main character is male, who relives the night before. We abide to the stereotype of youths partying from night to night, doing stupid things with their friends, only to repeat it later. However...
After showing various individuals (including the volunteers for the alternate version) both clips, I asked for them to report back to me on any feedback they had. This was done verbally and online. Eleanor Smith: "Although the narrative in the original clip is strong, the idea of a party really doesn't resonate with just the main character being alone. The second clip highlights...
Due to our issues we had, our shooting schedule was very varied and sparse. Harry filmed by himself (roughly a week before the due date) due to me and Rosie both being unavailable to get to his house, in which filmed by himself with Charlie and his friends to make the shots. This was successful however we only had shots of Charlie, and...
Alternate Version (starring Eleanor, Gina, Manny, Max and our main lead Charlie): After our final cut was published, Rosie and I felt bad about both the footage and the volunteers time being wasted, so after taking advice from sir we decided to edit an alternate version. In this version I tried to include both ours and Harry's footage, creating a linking narrative between...
Shown above is our final cut for our music video. The song featured is 'Last Nite' by The Strokes, with Charlie Frazier as our main lead. This was filmed by Harry at his house, and documents the events of our main characters previous night, shown by the various shots and reverse editing. ...
At the time of shooting these clips, we had minimal footage from Harry's end, so we decided to use what he filmed for a mock up. Although I had to shorten the song itself, I feel this was a fairly successful practice in preparation for our real thing. The narrative is fairly easy to follow, and the scenes look fairly realistic despite us...
Here is a collage of the behind the scenes images (mainly cleaning up after filming): To film this part of the video we used S14 (drama room) which had large black out curtains, so any school setting was less visible. Because this was last minute we only had a select few individuals, however the footage turned out better than expected and will hopefully...
Our finalised casting includes Charlie Frazier as our main character, who replays the events of the evening. The individuals in the background are left to Harry to decide as he is the one available to film that night. Update: Due to Harry only filming Charlie and having little footage for our due date, me and Rosie have cast Georgina, Ellie, Max and Manny...
Potential Album Cover 1: For this cover I went for a retro theme to match the songs era on Adobe Photoshop, and went down a comic book style cover. Due to the lack of quality in the image, I added a pixel effect to make it a more retro style, and make the images quality less noticeable. I then adjusted the brightness and...
During the creation of our music video we faced various issues we had to overcome. At the beginning of the project, our previous filming dates had to be changed due to Harry's personal reasons. After this we found it difficult to arrange another date as we were all busy judging by the time of the year. We finally found a date to film...
Part of our task was to create a storyboard: Our storyboard shows our narrative for the video, and how we plan to film in order matching the reverse effect we plan to put on in editing. Our end consists of Charlie back at the door, and then a quick cut of him on the ground (linking to the establishing shot) with 'the end'...
