Costumes Left To Get

Now that we have filmed a few parts of our music video, I am going to keep up to date with what we have done and haven't so that I know how many more costumes that are still left to get so I have made a list of costumes below that we may or may not have but that we need to film.

Fast Food Song - For this the costumes will come from Ebay and they will consist of print design t-shirts of the 3 different fast food restaurants. We are still yet to film this one.

Cha Cha Slide - We have the costumes for this dance routine already which are denim tops, dark (black) t-shirts with random print designs on the t-shirt and baggy jeans. We are still yet to film this one.

The Ketchup Song - For this dance routine we need black dresses, so we will ask our mums if they have a dress we could use but if not then we will have to go to a shop and purchase these items of clothing. We are still yet to film this.

Cant Touch This - With regards to this dance routine I need to ask someone if we can borrow their Mc Hammer costume as they have the exact costume. With regards to the rest of us we will wear tight tank tops and tight trousers (both black). We are still yet to film this.

Gangnam Style - This is the final dance routine that we will be doing in our music video and the costumes for this one will be the most trickiest as there is going to be about 20-25 dancers so we are going to have to find a costume for each to wear them for the dance routine. We are still yet to film this one.

Filming 3/9 Parts Out Of Our Music Video

Last week we finally started filming as we managed to gather the costumes together some of our dance videos. The costumes we managed to get were for the dance videos; Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, The Macarena and Justin Bieber - One Time. So these are the ones that we have filmed so far and with regards to organisation I have decided to split our production process into 9 parts, each part represents a dance video as well as our corridor scene. This way we can keep account of how many more parts we need to film. Now that we have filmed 3 parts of our music video we can move on to filming the other 6 parts; the corridor scene, Gangnam Style, Fast-food song, Ketchup song and Mc Hammer - Cant Touch This.

Also we as a group have made a decision to remove one of the dance routines from our music video, the dance routine is the Britney Spears song - Hit Me Baby One More Time. The reasons for us removing this video is because it is due to lack of resources for the costume as well as the time that we have in order to shoot our music video. However the main reasons why we have decided against filming this dance routine is that it would be too hard to shoot and wouldn't really fit in with the overall objective that we are trying to achieve for example this dance routine for the Britney Spears video would have had to be in a school corridor but our min guy is entering rooms, therefore he cannot enter a door into a corridor, it wouldn't work.

Editing Our First Piece Of Footage - Bohemian Rhapsody

Just above is an image of us editing the footage we have filmed. The footage is as you can see is our spoof version of the Queen music video Bohemian Rhapsody. We as a group decided that perhaps it would be better to shoot each person doing it individually and then add each of us in afterwards so that it looks better as you can see above. Our main editors Luke Shelley and Luke Hewitt will now match the miming to the music which will be a difficult job but nothing is impossible.

As you can see above we are able to move the heads around to position them how we want them to be positioned and this is good as we may need to move it around for quite a long time before we are happy with the final image.

This is how the final positioning will look, we may change this depending on how it looks within the final video but for now this is the final placement of our heads and as you can see we have done well to almost mirror Queens version of this so this is good for us.

Blog Feedback

This is my blog feedback I have been given;

All in all I think my blog is getting better as each time it gets marked I have less things to do in order to make it better so this is a positive. However somethings I can make better are;

• Dates need to be added to the posts
• Gather more audience research, perhaps another music video analysis?
• Add the storyboard to the blog with annotated lyrics and a brainstorm of ideas
• Finally scan through my paper flat plans of my digipack
