Locations

We now have a list of locations of where we are wanting to film:

We have decided to use:

Marden Quarry: This is a forested area in Cullercoats. We have decided to use this for certain scene where the main protagonist is chasing another and also for the scene where the cage is involoved, with the Quarry being a forested area.

Train tracks: To film Abby on the tracks we will be bringing Abby's Dad along for supervision.  On the track we will be filming the meeting scene for Abby and Chloe.

Y Studios: In Y studios we will be filming the band performance.

Wagon ways Backtrack: To film more scene of Abby running.

Baltic: For the artist scene

Animatic Storyboarding

Today we are finishing up our animatic after cutting out all the shots and scanning them into

Adobe Premier Pro. 

We found that even after doing 109 shots many of them are short takes and we will need to take more shots for the rough cut. 

Anamatic video feedback

After receiving the anamatic feedback from our class we decided to make some videos of the most helpful feedback. From the anamatic we have learnt that we need to make the story line more clear to the audience. We also learnt that our editing was great and that it should be kept like that for the music video. We also liked how our audiences felt that the narrative so far suited the song.

Here are the videos from our target audience:

Anamatic feedback

Here is a mind map of feedback we have received from our anamatic. From it we have discovered that we need to make the narrative more clear. But we also have discovered positives saying that the editing is great and that it should be replicated for the music video. People also liked the dark storyline that we have created, even though they feel it needs to be expanded more.

Overall we are really happy with our anamatic and feel like we can now begin planning and filming our music video ready for the rough cut deadline,

Location spotting: Iona's House

 Iona's House is the perfect location when it comes to shooting the main protagonists scenes. The house is surrounded by windows in which we have decided would be perfect to dress up with candles in order to make the room look eerie to the audience. We have also decided to use the garden in some scenes, as Iona owns a fire pit, which we could use for burning scenes with the photos or scrap book. We will most likely do some rearranging in the house, moving the crosstrainer and dog chair. Overall we have decided that Iona's house would be perfect when it comes shooting some of the scenes in which portray the main protagonist as a creep and unpredictable women. 

Lead Actress

After an extensive search to find someone to star in the music video we have found our very own team member Abby to be up for the role. Abby looks the part for the dark role we want to portray through the music video. Also since we need someone who is avaliable when we are Abby being in the team should be avaliable most of the time.

Storyboard Anamatic

Today I finished our storyboard anamatic. I have changed a few things around, for instance I added more shots of the band and took our a few shots that didn't really make sence to be there. For example I had to take away one of the cage scenes at the begging because there was two in a row and we wanted to keep the cage a mystery. Adding more scenes of the band filled out the instrumental parts of the music video and all together pulled the video other and made a balance of performance and narrative
