REMINDER - 1st LESSON NEXT WEEK 3x Initial Proposals

This week you will be shooting & synching a performance video. Please ensure you look at the instructional video on the previous posts to learn the correct techniques and procedure for covering performance.

By now you should have chosen 3 songs from myspace artists or bands/artists you know personally.

You should upload these tracks to your individual blog and now create a PROPOSAL for the Visual content (include a commentary on your decisions)

Next Week in the class session you will be asked to discuss your 3 proposal tracks and present your concept for the video. You will then develop one of these ideas over the next 2 weeks in class to build towards your pitch.

What to get across:
3 x written initial Proposals for a music video for 3 different tracks

What to do:
Use images & as examples of anything that will help you express your idea or footage of anything that has influenced your ideas to make a poster annotated with comments and Key Words

See Sean's blog from last year as an example of a written proposal -

You could make your more visual with a poster or mood board

Comment on your ideas for:
1. The Concept & the Content -

What Theme will you work with? 
What will we see?
Where is the Drama/Interest
The relationship of music to visuals (mood/lyrics/sounds - editing, choreography, movement/animation, lip synching?)
Narrative/Performance or Visual?

2. Style -

What shots & camera movements
Editing effects
Colours
Costume
Setting
Lighting

3. Image -

How is your video representing the artist - are they in the video?


Look at examples of videos - focus on what makes them interesting.

Good Luck
Look forward to Seeing/Hearing your ideas
