Feedback from our Audience Research

1. Female: 5
    Male:4

2. 16-20 it was the most common age group.

3. We asked them what is there favorite genre, pop and indie was the most popular.  This is in our favor because we are making a pop music video.



















4. casual/simple/laid-back was the most common personality type.

5. Ed Sheeran was the most common. This shows that we are targeting the right audience and this audience feedback will really help when we are making our music video.














6. Our most popular choice was Ipod

















7. We found that the storyline and the meaning behind the video was a common factor that applied to people in music videos.

8.

















9. The elements that most people expect to see in music videos was dancing, attractive people-voyeurism and bright colours.

From this audience response we are able to know what our target audience likes and wants in a music video which helps us get more ideas and aspects that appeal to the target audience.

Planning 27/11/13

In today's lesson we finished off audience research, shooting schedule and the deconstruction of the lyrics. As a group we think that the meaning of the song is that he is trying to get his lover back and compares himself to a devil and her to an angel. Suggesting that there is good and bad in a relationship. We planned the days we are shooting and prioritised what we are going film first. From audience research we gained information which we will use for our music video for example, what appeals to them.

Shooting Schedule

We have created a shooting schedule for our group CANZ Productions. This schedule will help us when we are shooting because as a group we know the location of the filming and the description of the filming.

Meeting 21/11/2013

Today in our lesson we researched locations for our film we discussed what park would be best for the filming in order to get the right shot and also what layout of the kitchen/living room would be best. We also discussed the times we could shoot and we are going to create a shooting schedule for this. We organised when it would be the best times for our actors and actresses so we know when we can film them.

Time Planning

Today we wrote down and discussed all of our free periods in school. We found out that we all have free time on Wednesday's after school which mean this will be our main time to film. We discussed that we will also film during Media lessons and on weekends.

Storyboard

In the two pictures below you can see the storyboard which our group has created. It shows roughly all the shots that we want to include in our music video and gives us a greater understanding of what our product will look like when we make it. We can now make a schedule of what shots we need to film and when we are going to film them.

Permission To Use 'Love Me Again'

We posted a message via Facebook to Island Records (the label John Newman is signed to) to ask for permission to use his song for our music video.

Group Planning Meeting

Today we completed various tasks as a group such as the storyboard, questionnaire and moodboard. This has given us a chance to discuss properly as a group about what we are going to do for the music video and what works best.
Now we need to finish off the storyboard and give people our questionnaires to see what they think about our ideas.
Overall it was a good days planning.

Mood Board for Our Music Video

This is the moodboard for our music video that we are going to be making. It brings in all the ideas we have for the video such as the settings, the lighting, the costumes and the characters. It also shows the smoke machine that we may be using on the stage.
It brings in the idea of the audience and the stage and how it may look.
The smashed vases show what we want to be able to create. We want to smash a vase and film it in order to rewind it to make a reverse effect.
Overall this moodboard will help us to be able understand our ideas more.

Storyboard

  In today's lesson we started to make our storyboard for our music video. We looked at our chosen song lyrics to see what kind of shot will suit most with it. We also Brainstormed more ideas about what we could do in the term of the camera movements, the lighting and the audience. We also finally got our cast all set and decided.
