Evaluation Q1

final poster

This is the updated version of our poster which have had many improvements made to them. Many of the improvements to our poster consist mainly of having the main image of Monet which is the same image that we use in our digipak but has a more psychedelic theme to it which makes the poster more attractive to our target audience. Also we have included the Spotify app badge onto our poster and used the same psychedelic image in the background and also the smoke that is on our digipak making the poster more alike with the digipak which is what we wanted. The fonts also match and so do the colours and the drop shadows that we used on the texts

Shooting schedule

Shooting schedule

We will be shooting our video in order of event that will happen in the video. Our shooting schedule will be to record all the outdoors scenes that we want to include first because they will take up a big bulk of our video and also to primarily film the scenes that we will be using a car for as it is important that we get them scenes recorded early in case anything needs to be re filmed. After we have filmed those scenes we will record the ‘party’ scenes in which we will be using the disco lights.

Lighting plans

Lighting plans

Much of the lighting that we will use in our video is natural lighting as we will do a lot of our filming outside. Using the natural lighting we hope to achieve the psychedelic effects on the video that we want and during the editing phases we can change the saturation etc. to achieve those effects as the main part of the video will be the postproduction and using the lighting in the video to create the different effects that we want to include. Another type of lighting that we will use is disco lights. With these lights we hope to achieve a sense that Monet is at a party by using these multi-coloured lights that will naturally provide an effect as they have many different colours such as red, blue and green, in which we will be able to develop on these in the post-production stages.

Costume, makeup and props

Costume and makeup design

The choices of clothing that we will make for our video have been chosen carefully with the genre and target audience in mind. We will use brands such as ‘Puma’ and ‘Adidas’ as they are the types of brands that match our genre of hip hop and rap via stereotypes of the genre. Monet’s pink Puma jumper and Adidas trainers will appear on our poster and digipak as the main photo of our artist because that appeals to the target audience directly so they know exactly the genre of music just by looking at our digipak or the poster. Monet’s makeup (our artist) will be very subtle, the main focus of our video will be on the psychedelic effects that we will be using. By using the subtle make-up, we think that it will be more aesthetically pleasing as she won’t be heavily covered in makeup because we believe that it doesn’t appeal to our target audience.

Props list

Mainly, the only props that we will be using is a car to film the ‘taxi’ scenes, a vape pen to be sued to create the smoke effects and disco lights that will be used to represent Monet at a party.

risk assessment

The main location we filmed at that was in need of a risk assessment was Congleton Park. The hazards we found were as following:

• vehicles
• ponds/water
• adverse weather
• uneven surfaces/mud

The vehicle issue was a risk for all three of us. This was because due to our focus on filming, our groups concentration was not focused towards the car park where we spent some time when gathering thoughts and ideas for what we planned to film. Out of 5, (1 - least risk and 5 being the highest), this would come to level 5 due to the severity of the consequence of being ran over. This was unlikely to happen due to cars mainly being parked and also we visited during the day so drivers were able to see us. Also, cars were driving moderately slow around 5-10mph therefore it would be easy for them to stop for us. The controls we put into place were one of us at all times was keeping watch for cars and ensuring the rest of the team were aware when a car was coming.

The ponds and water could have been a risk if one of us would have fell in but luckily, all water areas were guarded off with fencing so this came to a very low risk of 1 as it was highly unlikely for this event to occur. We filmed our artist walking across the bridge over water which was also guarded off so there was no risk. The controls we put into place, just in case was to avoid any water if we could.

Adverse weather was a risk for filming for us. It came to the risk factor of 3 due to the unpredictability of the weather and if adverse weather did occur, it would set back our filming schedule. We believed as a group it could be likely that it rained therefore the controls we put into place we to make sure we checked the weather for the day as-well as bringing waterproof clothing and umbrellas.

Uneven surfaces and muds was an issue due to the weather previously as it had rained. The risk factor of this would be 2 and we voted it as unlikely for this risk to affect any of us. If the ground was uneven or muddy, the events that could occur would be slipping or tripping. This was avoided as we made sure that everywhere we filmed was safe for us. We also wore practical shoes for extra protection.

Evaluation

We have also started to work on our evaluation for our entire music video. By doing this we have used Prezi to answer a question so that our evaluation is on different platforms to be shown on. We are going into a lot of detail with our evaluation now that we are at A2 because it is important that we use as much detail as we can as A2 is harder and requires that higher level of detail.

Poster

 Today we have been working on the draft of our poster. We have tried to incorporate the design of our digipak using the same colours and texts and effects on the text such as the drop shadow. We have also decided to use the same picture that we have used on our digipak to show that it is part of the same package.

If I were to improve the poster I would try and use the different colours that we have used in our video and also incorporate the different effects that we have used for example the split screen where there are more than one images of Monet and use that same feature in our poster as I think that it would make the poster look more psychedelic just like our video.

Digipak feedback

First Digipak

Anna - "I like the pictures of Monet"
"I don't like the fact that it has a blank space where the CD should go"
"Add more features to the background so it fits with the psychedelic theme"

Sam - "I like the black background mixed with the colour of clothing" "I don't like how the CD part of the pack is dull" "Could include more bling"




Final Digipak

Sam -  "I like how the smoke blends in with her hair, it is really well designed"
"Although the CD case has improved I aren't keen on the colour" "Overall I really like the digipak"

Anna - "I like how all the boxes are full and/or have some sort of detail in them"

"I like the psychedelic background behind the tack list and the inside cover and I like how the name of the artist is also in the inside cover to add more detail"
