Begin Production

Now we have completed most of the Pre-production ( little edits are needed) we have decided to begin our production.

We began back in September believing that we would be producing our project on a band called "Guilded Youth", however due to communication difficulties we were unable to use them.

However within a week we found a willing group that were local and had a gig that we were able to film a within a couple of weeks, "The Hype". After pre-production research into the band, we spoke to them and arranged that we could film them at Staunton school, in the battle of the bands competition.

However when making arrangements for the filming of the band at there gig there was a number of things we needed to take in to consideration before beginning to film, these included :

• How we are going to shoot the footage
• What type of camera angles we will need to suit our video
• Lighting in the setting
• What camera equipment we will need
• Stage setting (whether we are close enough to see the band)
• Audio (whether we can properly hear the band)

After considering all these items we choice are gig very persifically, we looked at all these items choicing what we felt was there best venue.

we decide on a venue and all met at the venue on the date of the gig to film.

Pre-production

It is January 2010 and we have almost completed all our pre-production planning. We began by looking at music videos and promotional adverts for bands such as Kings of Leon, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys as this is the sort of genre that interests us most. We found that these 'indie' bands contributed unique and individual attributes to their videos and music which would make it more interesting to the audience, gaining huge amounts of consumers. Also, our production team decided to produce a cover for it's release on DVD. This gave us the great idea of using the DVD to promote the band's upcoming album by filming one of their concerts to sale to a broader audience that could not afford or attend one of their gigs. This was inspired by the Kings of Leon promotion that we observed and analysed in our pre-production stage as it involved the camera diving into the crowd of a concert and found that it created an amazing atmosphere.

We are now working on our proposal. However, the amount of work that we can do on our proposal today will be limited because we do not have a band to work with as of yet. So we will work on the proposal as much as possible today and when we have reached our limit, continue to work on our pre-production.

Are proposal will be a write up of what we feel we wish to complete. it will include; what we intend to do, including th music video, preparation , poster and DVD cover. it will lay out what we propose to do, and the pre-producion will go into detail on how we plan to do this.

Our plan now is to start the production, including filming, photographing and editing. However the filming cannot take place till a later date as we have to wiat till the band is free.
