BUILDING A MYSTERY STORYBOARDS

ONCE CAROLINE AND I HAD AN IDEA ON WHAT WE WAS FILMING. I WAS THEN ABLE TO CREATE THE STORYBOARDS SO WE HAD A PLAN TO LOOK AT, WHICH DEFINALTLY MADE FILMING THE PEICE A LOT EASIER AS WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHOTS TO USE AND WHAT WE WANTED THE FRAME TO LOOK LIKE. THE STORYBOARDS THEREFORE SAVED US A LOT OF TIME, SO WE COULD JUST GET STRAIGHT ON AND FILM. THIS ALSO BENEFITED OUR SINGER AS WELL AS SHE COULD SEE HOW WE WANTED THE SHOT TO LOOK, WHICH AGAIN SAVED TIME, GIVING US MORE TIME TO FILM.

Group Music Presentation

THIS IS OUR GROUP PRESENTATION THAT CAROLINE, MICHELLE AND I COMPLETED. THIS WAS HELPFUL TO US ALL AS WE COULD SEE WHAT MUSIC WAS POPULAR DURING DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS. IT ALSO HELPED US TO SEE WHAT GENRE OF MUSIC WAS POPULAR AND HOW AND WHY IT APPEALED TO THERE INTENDED AUDEINCE. THIS WAS THEREFORE GOOD RESEARCH FOR US FOR PICKING OUR GENRE OF MUSIC FOR OUR MUSIC VIDEO AS WE COULD SEE WHICH AGED AUDIENCE WE WANTED TO AIM IT FOR.

POP PRESENTATION

THIS WAS THE OTHER PART TO OUR PRESENATION. CAROLINE, MICHELLE AND I HAD TO CREATE A POP MUSIC TIMELINE. WE EACH TOOK A DIFFERENT ERE TO RESEARCH IN TO AND CREATED THIS TIMELINE. WE USED LOTS OF IMAGES AND KEY FACTS ABOUT THE PARTICULAR ERE TO CREATE THE TIMELINE.

THE END IS NEAR

WELL WE SEEM TO HAVE FINISHED OUR MUSIC VIDEO DESPITE ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT HAS OCCURED WHILST TRYING TO COMLETE IT SO BY FRIDAY EVEREYTHING SHOULD BE COMPLETED.



CHARLOTTE AND I ARE NOW PROUD TO SAY THAT OUR MUSIC VIDEO IS NOW OFFICIALLY FINISHED, WE MANAGED TO FINISH IT FOR THE DEADLINE AND WE ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE, DESPITE A FEW PROBLEMS OCCURING WITH NOT ENOUGH FOOTAGE, WE MANAGED TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM AND FINISH. WE CAN NOW FOCUS ON OUR EVALUATION AS THE ACTUAL MUSIC VIDEO IS NOW COMPLETED!

SLOW PIECE MUSIC VIDEO

THIS IS OUR SLOW PEICE MUSIC VIDEO THAT WE PRODUCED BEOFRE WE STARTED PLANING THE REAL MUSIC VIDEO.

FAST PIECE MUSIC VIDEO

THIS IS THE FAST PEICE MUSIC VIDEO THAT WE ALSO HAD TO DO. ONCE WE HAD CREATED THE SLOW PEICE WE HAD TO USE THIS FASTER MUSIC AND CREATE A DIFFERENT PEICE HOWEVER WE HAD TO USE THE SAME FOOTAGE FOR BOTH, WHICH WAS QUITE DIFFICULT AS WE WANTED THEM TO LOOK DIFFERENT. DESPITE THIS CAROLINE MICHELLE AND I MANGED TO COMPLETE BOTH AND ALL LIKED THE OUTCOME TO HOW THEY CAME OUT.

LYRICS + PLANNING

Musicology ... With guitar

Building A Mystery

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?

You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin

You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You're building a mystery

3 locations

1.church

First stanza (43 seconds):

view of location slow pan

/artist guitar depressed

cross- cross straight cantered angle for when the faith that died

Fourth stanza:

Musicology

Artist with guitar

flash points or summit

where there is no lyrics something needs to fill the space like a flashback of when she was with her boyfriend. Strong flashback for a powerful opening to the song. then cut to the church.

begining of the lyrics can be a flashback of her with her boyfriend. then once lyrics about jesus we can cut to the cross and canter it. before jesus came- zoom

when shes walking shes not looking at the camera

head down as shes depressed hair round her face- block out things around her

DIGIPAK CD COVER

IT TOOK A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO A DIGIPAK AND AFTER RESEACHING ON WHAT THE PROPORTION IS I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO CREATE ONE

IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO COME UP WITH A NAME FOR IT BUT AFTER DISCUSSION WE AGREED ON CRUCIAL ATTRACTION.

POSSIBLE ARTISTS

CAROLINE AND I HAD TO LOOK AT WHO WE WANTED TO BE OUR ARTIST.
WE KNEW IT WOULDNT BE EASY TO PICK, SO WE THOUGHT THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO RESEARCH IN TO A FEW PEOPLE TO SEE WHO WE THOUGHT WOULD BE THE BEST POSSIBLE ARTIST FOR THE SONG CHOICE.

LAST MINUTE FILMING

WELL EDITING STARTED GOING WELL UNTIL WE WAS TOLD THAT WE SHOULD DO MORE FILMING AS WHAT WE DONE DOESNT REALLY GO WITH THE LYRICS SO HOPEFULLY THURSDAY WE CAN DO MORE FILMING.
