Idea Test?

I had an idea that I wanted to play about with, but I couldn't really tell if it would work unless I actually created it! So, I told my little sister to do a few simple things to try and portray the concept. Ofcourse, this is not any actual footage for my final music video, just a test shot. There will be continuity errors!

Digipack Cover Draft Sketch

Here is an image of my draft sketch that I drew for my album cover.

Proposal

I will be using a current local underground group who I contacted to ask if I could use for my music video. They are a group of three young men all aged between 21 – 23, these will be my main artists within the video. I will also use some actors which I will hold auditions for.

For my crew I will be using myself as the director. My cousin, Wasim will be the main camera man along with me as he has experience in this field. I will also be using the help of my friend Jeffrey to assist me in setting up my scenes and helping me on the shoots.

The song I have chosen to assign my music video with is called ‘Believe in Me’ by Marvell. It’s a UK Rap song, with a slower pace than the conventional rap song and has quite a deep message. I have chosen to do this song because It works with the people I will be using and the fact that it has a deep meaning allows me to express my creativity in boundless methods.

I will be shooting the music video before Christmas 2011. This will give me enough time to re-film anything I don’t like in the original footage and also allows me enough time to edit my video exactly how I would like to do so.

For my shoot I intend to use 4 different locations. One location for each verse (3) and then one default, either studio or a good location shot which would show all three members of the group. I will need a tripod but will also be shooting a lot of free hand scenes for an effect. I will also use some shots of the group in black and white. There will also be shots of some actors who will be in slow motion once edited and I will use them to act out the story that the song is portraying.

Equipment that could be used for my music video

Last lesson, we looked at some amazing (and expensive) equipment that we have the honour of being able to use for our music videos. These equipment were industry standard and great to see and use first hand! Above I have posted some images.

I will be creating a music video because I think it will be the most intresting, i recognize that creating a music video will be a challenge for me, creating a magazine would not challenge me due to having photoshop skills from AS media studies. Creating a Music video sounds very fun and I will be approaching it with enthusiasm.
