Preliminary exercise: Research and planning


1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

One flow by Nemzz 


2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene.


The editing and style of this music video gives me an idea of what's going on inside the artist head I want to portray this in my music video and allow the audience to gain a meaning just from the editing. 

 


The editing on this is what I want to implement in my music video using the comic effect.


The performance and editing is what I want to use in my video this is a good example as the editing matches the performance and beat and has the audience attention. 



3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project.

I want a guy walking and showing performance using his body language to convey a meaning to the audience. I want to jump back from scene to scene using editing this can create a meaning to the audience.

4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative filmmaking but the same format can be used for any video project). 

medium shot of the artists 
close up of the shoes 
wide shot of the location 
long shot of the artists with a zoom
a pan/tracking shot of the artist walking 

5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting. 

I want to have a gritty style the artist is also gonna be dressed up in urban wear for example baggy and stand out clothes the setting i want is a gloomy dark setting preferably to be filmed at night. 

6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange. 

I will shoot on Friday and record using the schools camera

Mise-en-scene

  1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. CLAMPS . Costume Lighting Actor (placement and movement) Make-up Props Setting The Costume suggest that they are all old fashioned and that this is set in the late 1990s as they are all wearing suits or this may suggest that they are at a wedding or a party. The guy in the grey suit may be the main character as he is the only one in a grey suit. The Lighting is more so focused on the person in the grey suit which may show again that they are the main character. The Actor placement is one is standing straight up whilst the other actor is up against the car with his arms wide which may suggest that some conflict is gonna happen or the guy in the brown suit is scared and may try and run. Make-up there isn't that much make-up. There is some props such as the broken camera which may connote meaning that there was conflict just before it brok...

The British film industry: blog tasks

1 ) Write a one-sentence definition of what makes a film British. Films produced in the united kingdom   2) What is the difference between a Hollywood production context and production context of a British film? Hollywood studios have high budgets, a heavy reliance on celebrities both in the cast and crew and spectacle driven stories. Whereas British films  tend to have low budgets, character rather than spectacle driven stories and a heavier reliance on word of mouth and viral advertising. However  British films can be large budget, high concept films such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 or they can be character driven, small budgeted films such as Kill List 3) When did the James Bond franchise start? In 1962 The Eon series currently has twenty-five films, with the most recent, No Time to Die, released in September 2021 4) In terms of film censorship and graphic content, what began to change in British film in the 1970s a...
