Creating our Storyboard

After completing the research into music videos we have now decided to start planning properly for our own project. After writing a plot for the project the next task was to start creating a storyboard to show in detail every shot we are planning on placing within our video. The video filmed by George only shows me producing the storyboard as this stage is going to be a long process to get every shot within in the story board and then to add the details in writing once the drawings have been scanned onto the computer so that there is no problems such as not being able to read our handwriting.  We are aiming to get this completed in the next couple of weeks once we had put all the information about the transitions and audio to be added on top of the music we are using. We plan to have the drawings on their own to be completed by the end of this week so we can go over them in pen and add colour in order to scan them onto the computer. Once we have finished all of our work in this area we will place the storyboards onto our blogs and then start with the shooting script and location scouting.

Improving our green screen skills

This video shows use using the new green screen that our school has ordered after some polite persistence by our media group. Its not the best quality because we did not iron the chroma key sheet before using it. This means that if we use an iron before using the screen before using it we can get a professional look, if we use a better camera though.

The reason why we are using this is we are thinking of using the chroma key when we are making our music video, yet we will defenitly be using it when it comes to evalutating our prodject at the end of the course.

Green Screen Update

After having our subject teacher order the green screen so we could further the techincal ability of our music video and coursework. It has now been delivered to the school and we have just had a look at it. We will be putting it together sometime in the not too distant future to break it in and see how it can be used to further our grades.

Presenting our Initial Ideas to our class

To get some audience feedback we needed to pitch our ideas about what we wanted to do with Maisie Mae'ssong. We pitched three different ideas about how the story could flow but as our audience commented in this video they were really similar although our teacher backs us up when he says that because we can only use this one song given to us by the artist and the story that it is within the lyrics its hard to come away from those ideas. He also mentioned how normal the exam board dislike videos being shot in school as too many people do this although this time it would be an exception.

Overal our audience leaned as well as me (who is almost completely off screen the whole time) that pitch 3 was the best idea. We believe that we should take these views and take it with us as we move closer to filming our video.
