My pitch/initial idea

Before I began to prepare and film for my music video I had to pitch my idea to my media teacher, I made a page of notes to refer to in the 5-10min pitch describing different aspects of the music video.



The song 'Wasteland' is in the punk genre so I researched the typical conventions of this genre, my music video is unlikely to have these typical convention that I listed above.

The aim of my music video is to show the toxic relationships in someones life, this includes their relationship and friendships at school. These friendships will be at school because my target audience will be 16-25. The music video will be split into two halves and then come together at the end.

I will develop a call list to organise when I will be filming over the next few weeks.

My band/artist will be called 'Static Energy' to link to the aesthetic that I am going for throughout my coursework.

Shot list

To make sure I am prepared for filming my music video I created a shot list detailing each shot I plan to shoot for the different sections of my music video. My music video has a handful of locations including school, the local woods and at home. My music video has four characters Millie, Emily, Sarah and Tom (played by Sam). When writing my shot list I tried to include different types of shots, I tried creating tracking shots with the shoulder mount for the first time. My shot list

Character profiles

My music video will have four characters, not including the artist. Here are some short descriptions of these characters explaining the choice of clothing and their personalities. The Artist (Isabel) The artist is seen wearing a yellow jumper in the music video. I chose the colour yellow because this colour is associated with happiness and positivity. The artist was once the girl in the narrative so this shows that the artist is happy now and is looking back on what happened unaffected by it. Tom and Sarah In terms of costume Tom is seen to wear grey clothing throughout the music video, next to him Sarah is seen wearing a bright red shirt. This could signify that throughout their relationship Sarah has had a strong amount of love for Tom but Tom has not, and Sarah doesn't realise this until things start to turn sour in the relationship. Red is also a colour associated with love. Tom starts to show his lack of interest and commitment to th...

Logos

One way I have created digital convergence between my music video and website is the use of my band's logo.  Here it is below: This logo can be seen at the start of my music video and at the top of my website. This repetition of the band's logo is important so that it becomes recognisable to the audience. I have also used this same font for the titles on my website to keep the continuity. As you can see in the screenshot above I also created a logo for the company that has signed the band 'Universal music', this helps to show that I carefully read and followed the brief, and if this was a real band then having the record labels logo would help their company also become recognisable and acknowledged by the audience. I also chose to use this font because it goes with the glitchy/disorientated aesthetic I have created in my music video and website.
