Diary Entry 7th October

Recently, we have been working on planning our album artwork for the digipack and the designs. I have sketched some ideas for the digipack which I have uploaded on the blog. I also done one photoshoot to try out some photo's with different angles and locations in order to play around with them on photoshop and see what I could possibly use for my cover. A video of this will be uploaded once I have finished exporting it.

I then went out to film and test different angles and shots. I also wanted to test some lighting effects such as natural sunlight and where its best to stand in relation to the sun. I then edited these shots to test reverse shots, split scenes, extreme slow motion and more.

I will be ready to shoot my music video with in the next few weeks and am very excited to do so!

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.
