Interviews

We have asked several teenagers a set amount of questions detailing information required to find out what is favoured within our target audience.

Questions:

1. How old are you?

2. What genres of music do you listen to?

3. How often do you listen to music?

4. Do you attend live music events?

5. If so, how often do you attend these events?

6. What hobbies do you have?

7. If you had £100, what would you spend it on?

8. What social networking sites do you use?

9. Do you download music? If so, what website do you use?

10. What music promotion are you most drawn too?

Shot Types Research & Storyboarding

Shot Types Research
To gain more of an insight into my shot types, I will watch several different Indie Music Videos that show both the band performing in the video and a narrative to the video if it has one. Whilst watching each video, I will stop it at most camera changes and take note of what angle and shot it is and see what effect it has on the video. I will also quickly sketch out each shot that I think is intresting and that I could use in my own video so I will use for both my storyboard and later on use in my filming process.

For the running part of our filming, I have looked for Music Videos which involve people running so I can see which is the best way to film and how to film it.

Jack Peñate - 'Second, Minute Or Hour'

In this video, the running is constant so the camera is always moving. For our music video however, we won't have any constant running as it is for our narrative and therefore we wont have to film it with the song playing unlike this video where the singer is in sync with the song.

This was filmed with a motorbike driving in front of the runner and is really quite smooth with this. We won't have this ability however and our shots would therefore be quite shaky and bumpy if we were to have someone running backwards whilst recording the main runner going towards them.

The Sunshine Underground - 'What You Like'

This video has some really good edits to manipulate some running shots look faster and longer than they actually are. The cuts are going to be really influential on our video as the song is really upbeat and fast so we want to use shots that will go with this. The running sequence is very short in this video, but it really shows what we are going to try and achieve.

Fortune Drive - 'My Girlfriends An Arsonist'

Looking at this music video, we are going to try and use the same 'shake' of the camera. We are also filming in the same room as this, so the shots we use with a tripod will also be very similar but without the zooming in and out that this camera uses a lot of.

Fortune Drive - 'Recent Advances Volume 2'

In this video, we really like the quick cuts that are used in between each shot. This is something that is used quite a lot by these type of Indie/Rock bands and therefore we will try to emulate this in our editing as we are using a song with the same genre as this.
