One man band

For our one man band we want to make it a bit like the way Alex Goot makes some of his video like in his cover of "livin on prayer". Alex Goot plays all the instruments in this video and he sings in it, this is the style of video we want to do. However we are thinking about doing it in black and white to give it a bit of more an effect.

Location

For locations we have a out of school practice room, this will be used for the parts with Danny playing the instruments and singing. We want to make it look like a recording room style. However for the story parts of the music video we will still have to go location hunting, we have some ideas already such as arrow parks wooded area but we need to keep looking because this video will demand more than just two locations.

After half term

The aims after half term is for us to go through what we have done so far. When we have done this Liam will then go put the video in place with what we have done, then we will get together look at the first part of the music video and see if we need to improve any areas or if we need to redo any of the recording. If so we will then have to organise another time for recording, but we will talk about this the first wednesday back when we have a progression meeting.

Aims

We aim to have finished the first part of our video for when we come back after half term, or at least have a draft of the first part of the music video. Also for me and Liam to do a meeting to check our progress with the video and see if things turned out the way we like them. If its not how we expected we might have to have a rethink and change some details of the video.

musicians

we only want one musician, but its someone who has to be multi talented musician because we want a one man band. We want to video them playing the drums, bass, guitar etc. we think it will make our video a bit different if we only have one person playing all the instruments. I have asked Danny Bradshaw to do it because he is a very talented musician, he currently plays bass in a cover band and he use to be lead guitarist and singer of his old band. I think Danny is the right person for our video.

storboard

This is our story board so far, we know we have to add to this but it gives us a clear idea on how to start our video. 

role- find actors

It is part of my role to find the actors/ musicians, when i have got the right people for the job we can start videoing it. Also when we have them it will be my role to inform them what they have to do in the video.

roles- location manager

I am the location hunter for the group. I have been around a few places to find the right location, i are going to have to try and find a few places for this video because it demands multiple locations for it. I have already found some, we think as a group the woods of arrow park would be good.

song ideas

We are thinking about 2 song, one of which is a song called "sunrise" by our last night. The other is "one less heart to break" by patent pending, both songs go well with a mixture of a band playing and a story line. This is the sort of song we want because we think it will work better.

Group Objectives

As a group we need to arrange a time that we can meet up and talk about our ideas, after we have done this we need to decide what song we are going to do for our music video. When we have picked the song we can then create a storyboard, also we will have to create a logo for our production company

group and brief

The group is me and Liam, we both decided the best brief for us to do is a music video. We decided this because we both love music and it would be the easiest for us to do working in a group, also i know a lot more musicians than i know actors and that was a big factor in us picking a music video.

With brief number one i have to find an obscure song that most people wouldn't of heard of like a bonus track on a album or a song from a small band. These videos are very different popularity wise anyway. not because they are not as good as others they just haven't had there big break for them to get big.

brief number 10
for brief number 10 its hard to find examples, because of this i will probably end up ruling this one out.

with the research i have done i am mainly leading towards doing a music video. i found it easiest to do research for.
