More music video changes

The final music video will be about my main character - Vicki - starring in a music video. This means that I will have to film some extra videos that aren't scripted in my storyboard. These will include:

1. Before the song starts:

• we see multiple shots of a CD and someone putting it into a tv/computer
• the CD used in the video will be my ancillary text of a digipak
• we don't see the persons face whilst they are doing this
• once the CD is in it then cuts to a shot of vicki's face
• in the background we see the other ancillary text i will create of a magazine advertisement placed inside a real magazine  
• the music video will start playing

  2. at 1:01

• change the clip of vicki walking out of the room to new shots of her watching the video and reacting to it
• quieten the music so it becomes 'background' noise

  3. at 2:08

• change the clip of the car reversing down the road
• we see vicki reacting again but this time looking more sad (shows her decoding the message that was encoded in the video she is starring in)
• in the background we see photos of her on 'set' and during 'shooting' the video

  4. at the end of the music video she is watching

• the final shot will continue as the music stops and we hear someone say 'cut' on the DVD. the camera then pans out from the final shot to show the 'set' and 'costumes', 'makeup', 'script', 'camera' e.c.t.
• the video will then stop on the tv
• the camera switches to looking at vicki and pans out to show she was actually watching it with the second character from the CD - sam .

Filming diary

Today was the second time I filmed. I booked a camera out for the weekend and arranged to film with Vicki on the Sunday. This gave me the chance to film on Saturday, the parts of my video that I didn’t need to have anyone in. As one of the concepts of my video is that ‘We all want love’, I wanted to show that this may not only refer to just another person and so I went and filmed lots of inanimate objects to show that my protagonist isn't just concerned with love from another person, but also through things she already has such as the trophies, her jewellery and her phone and purse. Ultimately, this meant that I was able to film a wide range of shots of things such as those listed to be added to my music video.

As Vicki passed her driving test and got a car at the very end of November, being able to get her to my house was easy as she didn't need to rely on anybody else for transport. However, I wanted to film the shots where she is looking sad and remembering her relationship with Sam so needed her to be wearing dull colours as well as some red but as she didn't have anything suitable to wear, I organised the costume at my house once she had arrived. I am lucky to have two rooms, one of which is grey and the other is brightly coloured. This meant that I could also film her in the bright room too so I used the time I had with her more efficiently on the one day rather than spread the filming out over another weekend.
