Release form

Release Form
 I needed to create a release form to make my music video more professional, it is also needed for the actor to sign so they have an agreement and understand that their image is only being used for purposes of my media coursework.

Album art

 I have done some background research into album covers, i decided to look up different albums to give me ideas in which type of album to create, as i have now decided that the theme of my song is 'time' i will be using alot of imagery that will symbolise time and movement of time. I have taken this albujm cover by James blunt because he uses smaller images to create a bigger image of himself, this is something which i would like to create, my initial idea was to take pictures of various different clocks then put them together to create a collage. In this album i like the idea of the artists face being merged from the pictures, this also uses Goodwin's theory of 'star in text' which is a good idea to use for advertisment if the artist is already well known.


This is another album cover which I think is appealing, i like the idea of the collage once again. They have made a picture from using parts of their face and and animal. Using an animal divides up the picture but also contributes to the theme of the album, the album is called 'Only by the night' and they have used an Owl to highlight the theme of the album as the animal is also linked with darkness and night. I also like the idea of having the artists faces and the animal merged as it includes both the theme of the album and the artists.
This is taken from the kings of leon album also, i like the idea of having a creative artistic way of illustrating the songs instead of just simply numbering them in a usual way.
I like the idea of this album cover the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has used, they have used an object which looks like scales, i  like this idea and i could use it in my own as i will also be using a clock which would replace the idea of the scales. I also like the idea of having a mouth, they may have used this to illustrate the idea of music which is coming from their mouth and their voices.

Story board analysis


I have taken some print screens from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers video and analysed each shot. I choose this video because i is a conteceptual video with alot of symbolisim and hidden meanings to their actions, i like this video because although it is simple they have managed to create further meaning. i have bullet pointed the camera description and then described the mise en scene, this was challenging because although what you see on screen my be basic and clear, the message which is behind the actions is not.

Animatic

After drawing out all my pictures and putting them together on a storyboard i needed to use premiere to convert them into a video, being able to put the pictures together with the sound shows me how long i expect my clips to be in the video. Once i completed this peice of work i decided that i needed to add more effects in some of the clips as they may be too long to have in my video of just one simple image of the actor singing, although i still feel that this is a good idea and adds effect to the video i feel that i should shorten it to a length that would fit with usual music videos and this would help it maintain a proffesional look. When i completed that task i decided to add more ideas to my video as having more will make my video look more creative. i also feel that this will benefit my video as some of the clips in  my video last musch longer than a conventional video clips should. Now i am able to compare my images to the time of the music and have a more precise fit with both images and sound.

Storyboarding

In this part of my planning I needed to sketch my storyboards out, these are all my images that I have thought of which I will be putting in my music video. Each image i drew out indiviually and themn loaded them onto photoshop, once i had done that i needed to describe each shot, i wrote i brief description of each shot, including the length of the shot and the type of shot.

All the images I have included relate to the lyrics of my music video, as you are able to see I have decided on a narrative music video, I partly chose real life filming combined with green screen to give a more unique feel. Once I have put all my images together I have more of an idea what my music video will look like. This is helpful because I have an outline of what the video will look like and now have my ideas stored in one place I can add more ideas to over time which I may think of in the process of making my video.
