PLANNING: Control Of Location

The location as to where I am going to be filming my music video and having the photo shoot for my Digipak images is going to be against a white large wall in my house. This is so when it comes to editing it will be easier for me if the background is a plain white colour.

In order to control the location I have decided on the days that I am going to be doing the photo shoot and filming, theses will be on the 20th and the 21st of December. This is because we are on the Christmas holiday so I and my actress are both free to spend all of the days filming.

I have also decided that I am going to be shooting and filming on these days because my family are going for a three day break to my grans house. This means that there will be no interruptions or distractions from my family.

As the location is inside the weather will not affect the filming or photo shoot. This is a benefit as the filming will therefore run on schedule and will look very professional.

PLANNING: Justification of Digipack and Advert



PLANNING: Draft of Digipack and Advert

PLANNING: Director’s Pitch

Storyline
The story line for my music vidoe is for my actress to be standing in front of a plain white wall. Using a Over Head Projector OHP items, weather and many other things will be drawn on her or around her. These may link to the lyrics and other may not. As my vidoe is a hybrid which is a mixture of a conceptual and perfromance music vidoe.

Location
The location of my music video will be in my house against a plain white wall. All of the shooting for the vidoe will be done against this wall. The photos for the advert and the Digipak will also be shot in my house against this wall. This is becasue the images will be easier to edit if the background is all the same colour.

Props
The props that will be needed for my music video will the the actress; Steph langford.  a OHP and OHP writting pens.

Equipment
The equipment that I will need for this prodject are a vidoe camera, a OHP, OHP pens, and a tripod.

Dear Sir or Madam

For our 'A' Level Media Studies coursework we have to make a music video to accompany a song.  For our project we would like to use 1234 by Feist from the album The Reminder and are seeking your permission.

The resulting music video will not be used for commercial gain, will be hosted on a private coursework blog and also rendered on to DVD for the attention of our teacher and the coursework moderator.  Should we not hear from you to the contrary within 14 days of the date of this email we will assume that you are happy for us to use this music under a fair use arrangement.

Hello Chelsea,

Arts & Crafts only controls Feist for Canada, so you will need to contact Universal Music with this request, as they have the rights for the rest of the world.

Thanks,
Marcello

PLANNING: Mood Board

This is my Feist mood board. The board shows the artist in a relaxed way and then a few images of her in a foraml way. Which is reflected by the presentaion and the images on the album and single covers. The covers are complecated and interesting, as a auidence you can have a quick glance at the cover and see the main image, yet you can also study the cover as see more detail. This is shown in her latest album cover which is the image below.









At first look you will see the shape which is a 'F' this links to her name being Fesit. If you look closer you will she that there is an image of what we think to be fesit on the 'F'.

This is a good representation of feist as she is not your normal Indie pop artist as she has releasedsome in the folk and rock genre. The covers also show that an image of herself is her brand image. A image or some sort be it a photo, black and white image or an interpretation of her self is always on her album or single cover.
