Production Entry 4

Now that all the additional research and planning is done all that is left is the final tasks of the music video and ancillary tasks. Parts of the CD are completed like the inlay and back cover while the front cover and poster are yet to be completed. As usual the video is a work in progress but we are now running out of time.

Teacher Feedback

Layson, your regular updates are useful and show good eveidence of work in progress with the production - a good improvement! However, I'm concerned that my previous teacher comments seem to have disappeared from your blog. Please look into this ASAP. In addition, you need to embed your Youtube address for your voxpops so that it can be viewed via your blog.

Vox Pops

This is the Vox Pops as part of the research and planning for my music video. Some of the ideas presented were used and thought about as well as incorporated into our original idea for our music video

Production Entry 3

The Vox Pops is now edited and currently being uploaded onto YouTube  to be added to my blog. Also the techinical equipment list and Record Label logo have been uploaded. Filming will continue even with current weather conditions, we will just have to incorporate it into our video while still keeping with the theme of our music video. This week as well as continuely editing uploading the storyboard needs to be uploaded.

Record Label Logo

This is the finished product of our Record Label: Base Records. Although a simple task using PhotoShop, the Record Label is an important part of the project to create a feel  of realism and verismilitude when creating both the promotional poster and artists album. The logo is created to be a more mainstream that is open to more genre than the grime/rap genre, like Hip Hop, Dance, Pop, R'n'B and possibly House.

Technical Equipment Needed for Music Video

All the equipment is required for the success of filming, editing and creating our music video:

• Tripod
• Hand Held Video Camera 
• Green Screen
• Photography Camera 
• Lighting Sets
• Steady Camera (Custom-Made)

(Not all pictures are of actual equipment that will be used but used for visual examples)

Storyboard

Production Entry 2

This week the music record label logo has been created along with a production logo and our group and artist have begun to experiment and use the green screen. Also the Vox Pops has finished editing as will be uploaded later in the week. The cureent focus of the group is toedit the current opening footage and next week work with the green screen next week to film further parts of the music video. Also there are still some external shots for the CD cover that need to be taken however current weather conditions have made this very difficult.
