Shooting Schedule



This is my groups shooting schedule for our music video.

Track Permission

The email is to The Young Turk Records to ask if we can use their song 'Right Thing to Do' by SBTRKT ft. Jessie Ware. We need to ask permission from the record label because of the copyright laws of using and publishing a song that is not own by our group.

Album Cover Design

As part of our digipack we must create the album cover for our artist. Below I have designed two different front and back covers and have developed and created ideas that fit with our chosen genre and song choice. 'Right Thing to Do' by SBTRKT ft. Jessie Ware is an alternative dance track. Therefore both covers represent different parts of the conventions of alternative dance artwork.



This album cover front and back incorporated the convention of very club like lighting. As the genre is called alternative dance, it is played in places were people dance (obviously). Therefore we have developed that club idea and bought it into our artist look and style.



This album cover is slightly different. I've focused more on the artist by using a close up shot on both the front and the back. The artist face will be painted tribal like to give the audience a unique selling point. By seeing the paint they know it's our artist even if you just see the hand on the back of the cover. This quirkiness is conventional because all alternative dance artists are slightly different to just dance producers. For example if you look at the clothing style of MGMT this is a very clear statement of individuality. My initial idea for painting our artist came from Strategy an artist that alternative dance producers such as Dub Phizix uses on his tracks. I developed my own style of painting from the one below to create our artists style on the album from and back.

Locations


We have chosen three main locations to shoot our music video in. Therefore there and three main performance shots, where the artist will perform and lip sync to the song we have chosen.



This is southbank skate park. We thought as a group this location is very good to use in our music video and it's produces it's own low key lighting and it's very urban. This links with our urban theme of the video. Also the graffiti gives us a urban background. However we will be writing a letter to the council to ask for permission to film on the premises. Alot of our performance shots will be here.



Our second location is just normal everyday streets. We are more likely to film at night and see the artist lip sync to the song whilst walking. The street helps develop the concept of our video as it's about 'what happens behind closed doors'. Using an everyday street emphasizes the idea that no one knows what goes on behind closed doors and that people do weird and wonderful things when they feel no one is watching.


Finally a park will give us a contrast in lighting and mood for our video. The contrast will give the audience a break from the moody looking atmosphere. However this also ties in with our concept as the actors we use in the behind closed doors scene may be used in Nonsuch park showing how different they are when outside infront of people.

Talent Release Forms


This is the talent release form signed by Grace who will star in our music video. She has given her permission to star in our music video and will let us know when she is available.

Photo-Shoot Plan


This is our photo shoot plan, it shows when we are going to take the images and what we need to make these successful. We each have a role to play in this and we have decided on our locations and props we need.

Advert Design


This is the draft version of what our advert will look like. It will have our artist in the corner with paint on her face (her trademark). In the background and pointing towards her will be multicoloured lights (linking to the genre of Alternative Dance as she is in a club) and she will be the focal point of the picture. Above her is the name of the artist and the name of the album. Below these are reviews from professional reviewers or fellow artists. It then states when the album is released and underneath has ways of keeping track of the artist (twitter, Facebook and a newsletter). Finally the record label logo is shown in the corner with the fine print next to it.
