What I intend To Do During The Summer

During the summer I intend to film most of my music video as I’ve already planned what I want to do inn my music video and how I’d like it to look like. By the time we come back to school in summer I plan on starting to edit my video and make it into a smooth transition between the two parts I am splitting my video. I plan on filming in London for half my music video and hopefully I can film the other half in another country. If this isn’t possible for me to do I’ll have to think up another idea of what I can do for the other half of the music video.

I plan to go to as many places as possible for this video. I intend to show all different types of people. This would include gender, ethnicity and social class. I intend my video to have somewhat of a meaning but also be fun at the same time. Going to as many cities and towns as possible will help me with my goal to get in as many different people in the video as possible.

The Journey

This week I started going through songs i wouldn’t mind listening to for several months. I thought about the genres i usually listen to, but this was hard to choose from seeing as i listen to quite a few music genres. Taking into account that I didn’t want to have a sad slow song playing i chose to use a Chris Brown song. Choosing the song allowed me to have a variety of ideas on what i could use and do with my music video. With the current news that I might be going on holiday i had the idea to show a journey and have a change of culture in my video. However if i don’t go on holiday this summer id have to change half the ideas I have for my music video. This video pretty much depends on me going away for this summer. Planning ahead i asked my media teacher if I would be allowed to take a camera with me during this summer just in case I did go away. A fault with my plan is that I generally have no clue on how id film on the camera. My skills are more limited to an iPhone camera...this should be interesting. I’m hoping I would get taught how to use the camera in order for me not to mess up the footage I’d like to take.

I’m looking forward to seeing my ideas come to life. If all goes to plan this video could be meaningful and emotive yet not too sad because on the choice of song. I looked at magazine adverts for digipaks which games me ideas of what conventions are usually seen in the magazine adverts. Conventions such as; the title of the CD, name of the artist, having a similar image as the album itself, when the album would be released etc.
