Music Video Feedback Questionnaire

Problems whilst filming

During our 5 hour filming session at Pirate studios, we had a couple of issues whilst trying to film. although the lighting provided was unique and interesting, its distribution was limited leaving some parts of the studio noticeably darker than others. for example the our drummer wasn't exposed to as much light as the signer and guitarist. to tackle this issue we all brought a multitude of different torches and lamps to try and neutralist the issue. it some aspects it worked but when watching or video back it still had room for improvement. However the grey scale effect that runs throughout our video helps to mask the lighting issue making it almost unnoticeable. Further more, whilst filming within close proximity of the drummer, we experienced a problem with the camera shaking for the vibrations of the drumming. To counteract this, each of us would alternate in cupping the cameras sides to hold it steady whilst we filmed. This method worked ultimately giving us a number of good shots that are being used in our final draft. Finally, due to the size of the room, we were limited for space and whilst filming. We had to be cautious about any of our equipment and belongings getting in the frames which proved to be a pain as it sometimes would limit the types of angles shots we wanted. to conclude, our filming session was a great success and the issue we encountered were minor and manageable not majorly disrupting the music video's process.

To- Do List:

Based on our feedback from the teachers, we have to film other scenes to give the music video a twist that will hopefully have the audience on the edge of their seats. We have been told that the music video so far was not thrilling enough and was very predictable, so as stated on the previous posts, we have had a brainstorm of ideas for how the music video could pan out and we will aim to film the best ideas and then choose the idea that is best suited to our music video to give it an exciting twist.


What do we have left to do?

• Film the performance part of the music video, with the band. ( Saturday 12th November)
• Film different endings to the music video (Saturday 12th November)
• Film flashback scenes (Sunday 13th November)
• Re- shoot some narrative scenes (Sunday 13th November)
• Edit the music video together (Monday 14th - Friday 18th November)

Spotted A Mistake?

From 2:18 to 2:22 on the draft music video, we have noticed that it doesn't really make sense on how The Hunter ended up right behind the man walking. Noticing it early means that we are able to re-shoot that scene in advance and edit into the music video. What we are going to do is, re- do the high angle shot at 2:18 and we are going to make The Hunter come around the corner so that when watching the final music video, it makes more sense to the audience how The Hunter ended up behind the man.

Filming Stage

We have completed half of the music video and edited it properly, we still have the performance side of the music video to do in the studio that we will use when all members of filming are available. On the draft version of the music video, there are shots of the performance scenes on the storyboard and we have used them in the draft music video so that you have an idea of what the final version will looks like, but it also shows that we know exactly what shots we will use in those scenes. So far the narrative scenes look really good and the visuals really match the tone of our song choice for the video.

Filming update:

We haven't started filming as of yet but we have already planned when the filming process will begin. We will aim to start on the 8th and 9th of October and film some parts of the song in the Yellow Bean Studios. We are filming parts of the music video in the studios and other parts we will film in a forest.  We feel this is a good time to start filming so that we have a little extra time to sort props and costumes and equipment out.

The Hunter - Storyboard Animatic

Click Here if the video is not loading correctly.

This is an animatic version of our storyboard. This animatic provides a visual representation of how our music video will go and how it will be edited.  From the creation of this animatic storyboard, we have been able to learn how we are going to structure our video. In addition, this has provided us with experience on how to use editing software effectively and efficiently.  Because of this experience, it has been able to provide us with the knowledge of the editing software we used (Adobe Premium Pro CS6).  

Storyboard of The Hunter (Music Video)

This storyboard provides a visual representation of how our music video will show shot by shot and how it will be edited. It includes shot times, props needed, description of what is in the shot and different movements that will be used in each shot. This task has taught us a lot about framing our shots and how timing will be used.  

Examples Of Other Texts

The videos below are the videos that we are taking inspiration from, for our music video.
We feel that the Chase & Status song is an inspiration for us because we really like the lighting of the song. It is in greyscale and we like the fact that it is minimalistic but it is eye catching at the same time.  This lighting also suits the genre we have chosen and it also compliments the song we have picked. Also from this song by Chase & Status we are taking inspiration from the performance of the band, they look very lively and passionate and we want our band to perform the same way because it will suit our song choice and also the genre.
From the song by The Shoes, we are taking inspiration from the narrative of the music video- our music video will be partly narrative based and we feel this narrative rom this song 'Time To Dance' will help us with the narrative that we want to in- corporate into our music video. We want to combine aspects from both videos into our own video and we feel that if we do it correctly, it will be a successful music video.
