Chosen Song

Song Lyrics

You with the wide eyes, don't lose your courage
You swing your head high and don't be worried
Your heart's in a free ride, feel it beating
Caught in the headlights, climb to the ceiling

We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

You with the sad smile, don't lose your courage
Dance in the high tide and don't be worried
Your soul's in a wild fire, feel it beating
Dreams on a gold wire, won't you believe it?

We're all animals out in the dark
Got a feeling that we're all believing in
Not waiting for daylight to start
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
We're over the moon, over the midnight moon

We are going over, we are going over and over

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Over the moon, over the midnight moon

Narrative Theory

Shot Ideas

I have made a mindmap of some ideas I may use in my music video. I have decided activities the couple may do in the music video or places they may end up and also added a bit into the storyline of the music video with what time that part will fit in.

Character Theory

Advertisement Update

I have decided to disguard the advertisement I was creating as the photos and layout did not match the way I wanted it to look. I plan to take new photographs of Lucy and Ellis and start a new advertisement based on a style model.

    Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die" advertisement is very simple and does not have a lot of writing on it. It is not overcrowded and has a very limited colour scheme. My photograph inspiration comes from the duo who sings the song of my music video. They have an urban romance vibe to them which I like and their photographs show this, which is why I am using them as inspiration.

Editing Practice Task

A group of us decided to do a practice of editing to a song by The Stone Roses called Fools Gold. We gathered a bunch of clips from films and TV shows and put them together in a comedic way to create a compilation video.

Advertisement Progress 3

I was looking at the album advertisement in a magazine for "lungs" by Florence and The Machine and it states the different ways you can get the album.

I have decided to use this in my advertisement as it looked too plain and dark. The white of the text brightens the advertisement up and again I have used a similar font.
I have created a mock up version of my advertisement however I have decided I will not use this as my final advertisement as the photograph mise-en-scene does not work well with the genre and the duo. I decided that the font is the font I want to use and decided this because of the test I did with this mock up.

Editing the photo

 

I have put the photograph onto an A4 size page and changed the brightness and contrast on the photograph as I felt that it wasn't quite right in the original version.

 

I have also changed the levels on the photograph as the lightness and darkness looked off.

 

I also used the spot healer tool to make sure there was no shadows or small spots on the faces of the models.

 

 

Using a convention used in the Panic! At The Disco advert I looked at, I made my image part black and white and part colour. I felt that the green background of the tree was too colourful and clashed with the orange of the hair and top of my female model.





Original photo I am using for my Advertisement

This is the unedited photograph of which I am using for my magazine album advertisement. I plan to edit it on photoshop and then add text for the advertisement I am creating.




the photograph reminds me of a photo of the actual duo who sings the song I am using below.

 

Photos that did not work

 

I am posting a few of my failed shots from my photoshoot for my ancillary tasks.

 

This shot doesn't have a high resolution as the camera was on the wrong setting. My models are also not in the centre of the bridge and Ellis' hair is in his eyes. I would have probably used this shot if the resolution was higher and the wind wasn't a factor.

The lighting was way too light on the day of my photoshoot. I also got a lot of shots of Lucy and Ellis caught offguard therefore about half of my photographs are unuseable.

I like this shot however Ellis' face is too dark and Lucy's face is too light and has a shadow on it. This would have worked if it was easily fixable using a brightness tool on photoshop however it would not work too well.

This is the first shot I took of my models offguard. I like this shot but again the resolution was not high enough at that point therefore it is unuseable.

Headshots

 

I will have two actors in my music video. I have taken headshots of them.

Album Advertisement Flat Plan

 

I have created a flat plan for my advertisement after looking at different advertisements for other albums.

Advertisement Analysis

This magazine advertisement for Kings of Leon includes the name of the band as well as then name of the album and tracks which will be include in the album. Typography used in both the name of the artist and the name of the album which share similar designs, this shows a general theme on the advert. The name of the album is also in a similar colour to the main image which makes the advertisement consistent. In a smaller text the poster displays some of the albums content in a white font, this makes it stand out from other text on the advert. OUT NOW is also in red, again making it stand out from the rest of the text. This helps it easy for the audience to point at relevant information which will be helpful for them.
The album title “Only By The Night" seems to link to the choice of colours in the photograph. The title of the album suggests darkness which is reflected on the poster through the dark colours used. This again gives the audience an idea of what will be on the album cover. This advertisement cleverly uses parts of each member of the band to construct a image of a bird or owl which also suggests night time as owls are nocturnal and their time is mostly at night.

Permission of Song

I have tweeted the artist of the song that I would like to use for my music video and am awaiting a response.

Ancillary Tasks

The options for ancillary tasks are below.

I have chosen to create a digipak as i have experience with editing on photoshop and will be able to use this programme to create this, whereas with a website it would be extremely hard to HTML code a whole homepage for my duo. I have chosen my second task to be a magazine advertisement as I have experience in this and have used Photoshop often and created something similar in AS Media last year.
