Test shots wih my camera

 

- This footage is all filmed of my video camera, by testing out different shots such as medium close ups and extreme close ups, indoor and out I believe my camera is suitable for to use for my music video as it looks very clear and doesn't blur when I move the camera quickly.-
- The reason why I'd rather use my own camera is that I have more free time to use it other then students that are borrowing them from college as they are very limited. My camera is also compact so I can easily take it places without much effort.

My camera/video camera

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is a 10.1 megapixel compact camera poised at the superzoom end of the market. It’s 10x optical zoom provides ample focal length for picking off subjects from afar, although with only 38mm of coverage at its widest point doesn’t push into the superwide superzoom territory.

There is a secret weapon on the feature front too – the HD 720p movie recording function is, whilst becoming a more commonplace feature on many stills cameras, something that’s not widely available as yet. Sony, being the domineering electronics giant it is, is certainly pushing promotion of HD products.

From my own use of this camera I'd prefer to use it from borrowing one from college as when I have used the video camera Iv'e found it very crisp looking and very in focus.

The other advantage of using my own camera is that I can have more time filimg as I can always acsess it easily.

Examples of Images taken on this camera-

My performer

This is Ellie, she is an AS media student currently studying at Wyke. I picked Ellie to play the main part in my music video as she is around the same age as my target audience (17+) and I believe she can easily be changed with clothes and makeup to match my idea of a character. My clothing ideas of having her in an oversized jumper, ripped tights and military boots she also does own which will make filming less complicated. It's also ideal to use her as my cast as she lives nearby so if re shooting is needed it's very easy to plan dates.

Things about her current style helped me choose her such as her being slim, having big eyes and being fresh faced.

Location of my music video

I'm going to use these locations as they are very scenic epically Hessle Foreshore. Although these locations easily show that they situated in Hull/Hessle I’m going to avoid certain parts of these locations such as the Humber Bridge so it creates a more professional and unfamiliar look to the audience. I'm going to use all outdoor locations as I believe the lightitng will be better as it'll be natural except for the beginning of the music video where I will be filming in a the performers house to show more about my characters personality.

 

 

 

Lyrics of my chosen song and how they suit my plot

You found a sweater on the ocean floor.
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and the smart one sit outside of their sight,   <-- parents are unaware of her drug taking
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.

Her father came from a poor background but made his way up to the top through hard work

 

-->Dad was a risk taker, his was a shoe maker,
You, greatest hits 2006 little list maker.

Heard codes in the melodies, you heeded the call,
You were born with ten fingers, and you're gonna use em all. <-- The taking of drugs and alchol
Interest in colors I discovered myself.  <--- Individuality and the rebelling of conforming to her parents ambitions created my characters personality which her parents don't approve of.

If your art-life is gritty, you'll be toastin' my health. <-- The affects of drug taking
If an interest in culture, you should be lining the walls,
When your birthright is interest, you could just accrue it all.

Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.

You can turn your back on the bitter world.    <-- Drugs are some peoples haven to get away from problems, in my characters situation it's her pushy parents
You can turn your back on the bitter world.
You can turn your back on the bitter world.
You can turn your back on the bitter world.Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.  <-- Her family have a reputation for pushing their children to much 'to be the best' and follow the family trade.
Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.

Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming
