Change of Song

While planning our production for our Sia music video, we realised there were a few issues that came up and that the ideas we were having may work better for a different song. The issues we had came from the ideas about colour, as the practical side of it was very complicated and the equipment we have would not be able to capture the detail we would need for it to be effective and look good. Also while Lauren was trying to choreograph the dance, she was finding it difficult to do contemporary dancing though-out due to the change in tempo, and emotions. Due to this we found that searching for a slower, more emotive song may be a good idea as the dance would flow better, making the video more effective.
We now have reevaluated the ideas we had and how we can apply them to a different song in order for our planning to not go to waste, and for our final piece to be improved by the song. The song we have chosen  is  called 'Lost Without You' by Freya Ridings; it is a slow, emotional song about the singer letting her boyfriend go traveling.
This song has a better fit as Lauren's contemporary dance could be applied more effectively due to the song being more emotionally engaging.

For our media product we're planning to to use 4 locations: a studio, forest, beach and train station platform. This will provide our media product with depth and intrigue the audience.

We are planning to go to Bournemouth to get our beach shots as it has the view we want for our media product. We will use the Oxford train station, as some platforms are busy, but in contrast some can be out of use, therefore meaning we can get both hectic and calm shots

Feedback from production pitch

The feedback we received from our class was positive as they felt our idea was strong and we had a clear plan/ pitch too express the ideal music video we want to create. They specifically liked our idea that the music video will begin in black and white, and then develop in to vibrant colour when the chorus line "I'm alive" is sung, emphasising the change in the dancers mood from depressed to one of hope and happiness.  The class also enjoyed our mood board which we had created as they felt it expressed our ideas clearly in visual detail.  The other idea we had about colour was also highly liked, as we are planning to use strong coloured lighting to connect the dancer with different locations, for examples a green lighting will be on Lauren in the studio which will then be edited to cutaway to a vibrant green forest, showing one of the dancers memories. Overall I am pleased with the feedback as it gives me and the group confidence that our music video will be succe...

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your media product and ancillary text? This question requires me to talk about my music video and ancillary text, then discuss how they compliment each other, and how certain things may clash, and have not been effective. I would then continue by explaining ways in which I could improve my ancillary text to compliment my media more and make it more effective.  Ways in which I could present this is: Interview with director Interview with audience, asking what they think about conventions we used Video of me discussing the forms and conventions
