Additional projects

For the additional projects i have deiced to do a CD album cover and also a magazine cover, to create these products i will need certain skills and programs, these skills and programs include: magazine design, photo shop, in-design and publisher. These would be needed for my additional products to be successful and also look professional.

Permission from the band

Amber spoke to a Friend that is part of the band Not advised, he had spoken to the publishers and we have now received permission to use any of the bands songs. We now as a group need to decide on a song that we all want to use.
After discussing this issue we deiced that we want to use ''Jane says left'' we felt that this would best fit the type of music video we wanted to create. We also decided to discuss some ideas for filming, these include things such as:

• Having a group if geeky looking people sat around a table acting normal, then when the music begins then start jumping around dancing, they will then be joined by 20 to 30 other normal looking people.
• Having a group of people jump into a swimming pool fully clothed.
• Having a Friend of ours do flips etc, around objects.
• Having short clips of the band playing in front of a crowd
• Clips of peoples feet, wearing high heals or nice evening shoes, panning across.
• Images of people passed out in a messy room surrounded by empty alcohol bottle's/cans.
• Finally having a friend of ours have a dance off with various other dancers

Here is an example of a video that involves people being passed out surrounded by mess and empty bottles:

Research and planning

For our music video we are hoping to use one of ''Not Advised'' songs, Not Advised are an unsigned band from the area of Southampton. To give us ideas on our own video that we are going to produce, we looked at some of Not Advised videos for some inspiration. Amber contacted a member of the band to receive permission to use one of their songs, we are waiting to hear back from them.
We have also had a few ideas about what to include in our video, for one scene we though that we could possibly use Amber's nans pool and have a group of around 30 to 20 people to jump in fully clothed.

Media Production

Hi, I'm Laura and this is my blog related to my college media coursework for A2 Media Production. The whole point of this blog is to demonstrate planning and research. I will start with the brief of the project, Me, Jay, Vicki and Amber have agreed that we will be producing a music video for our project. In order for our project to work we have to find some copyrighted free music to use within the video.

We have a few ideas for our music video that we feel would work effectively, these include ideas such as doing the video in black and white, we also had an idea of using Amber's Nan's swimming pool and getting a large number of people to jump in. We took this influence from the video, You're The Designers, We're The Deciders by not advised.
