For my first initial shoot I did my filming in Bishops Stortford

My second shoot for my filming I did in Saffron Walden, in the town centre and down a lane with a brick wall to film my model against

Audience Research: Other Artists Signed with Rinse Label

Here is a list of other artists signed to the same record label 'Rinse' as my artist Katy B. I will look in further detail at a couple of these as they are all of a similar genre and will target the same audience. From my research I plan to gain more research for my target audience and the for the genre of music I am working with.

Changes to be made

Today I have gone through my music video so far with my course teacher. We have made note on the changes I need to make to produce a final high quality piece of work:

1) Re-shoot the scenes in the town in day light, so that the lighting is better and not grainy.
2) Re-shoot some of the studio shots close up, as a lot of my scenes are medium shots.
3) Move some of the shots around so that the transactions fit with the drop in the music.
4) Constantly refere to the specification so that I can meet level 4 expectations.

Level 4 Specification 48–60 marks

There is evidence of excellence in the creative use of most of the following technical skills:

- holding a shot steady, where appropriate;

- framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate;

- using a variety of shot distances as appropriate;

- shooting material appropriate to the task set;

- selecting mise-en-scène including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting;

- editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer;

- using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set;

- using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set;

- using titles appropriately.

Editing....

I have after two weeks of starting, finished a rough copy of my music video, with all my chosen clips used to my piece of music.  I will now assess any changes or new set of filming I need to do to make sure my final product is of good quality and something that I am pleased with.

Studio Filming

I have completed my studio filming today in the Photography Studio at school, so I used the lights to add effect in the background to use for the chorus scenes to contrast with the scenes I have shot in the town. I will use video effects on these shots such as the timing and style.

First set of filming

I have done my first set of initial filming in town with three models, one of them playing the part of 'Katy B'.  Due to one of my models being late it started to get dark in the town I was filming in so therefore a lot of my shots are quite dark. My next shoot I am filming in the studio so I can have my model lip sync to camera and so that I can use the studio filming for the majority of my editing effects.
