Friday 21 December 2012

Production Log

As i have shot some footage on the green screen i find that taking the green screen away and backing the background very hard however i will have to do this is having bits of green on the sreen will not look professtional nor will it look good.

Production Log

okay so the idea now for my music video is now me walking the i look into a window where i see a dance class, they are danceing (shown in balck and white) having in a good time ect. i think walk away from the window and walk into a room. this room in my imagination, so the room is comeply balck and lights come on and i stard dancing just as if i was on stage, then i relaises i was just imangeing my self and then i smile to my self and walk off.
through this video i'll be using my different colour froms which is balck and white and colour, i will also be adding special effects to some parts of the video along with slow montion and speeding up.

Production Log

okay so i have done all my research takes whihc is a good sign, i have also done my digipack which i think is really good as it in the theme of my music video thereofre fitting in nicely. i think im on good track as i have been working through all the assigned talks and and i have filmed alll my parts for my msuic video

Friday 7 December 2012

Front and Back Covers


these are the drafts of my CD cover, there is a coloured lighting effect which continues through out the Digipack to make it seen as it it were the lights as if it were a stage therefore having a link to my music video

Wednesday 5 December 2012

1st draft - front cover

This is my 1st draft for the front cover, i think its good because of the effect on image the lighting and colours, though I do think its missing something but I'm not so sure what its missing.


3rd draft - inside covers

this is my 3rd draft and I thing this is the one I will be using I think it looks interesting yet still holds that elegant touch just like my music video, also the I think the use of colour is very eye catching.


Research About the Bandthis is the research I did on the Band of my choice of song, however as in Bollywood most songs are apart of films and have music directors I have research about the music directors of the song and film.

1st draft - magazine advert

This is my 1st draft for my magazine advert I feel as all the text is on one side of the page and seem some what incomplete however I do like all the texts I have used and I really like the the blue spot light at the back.

Production Log

I have created a table with all the task that I have completed and all the tasks which I need to complete this helps me keep on track with what I have to complete and manage my time affectively.

1st draft - back cover

this is my 1st draft for my back cover, still needs a lot of work so I will be editing this one, i would like to keep this cover quite plan to balance out the other pages as they are quite filled and have more going on in the area.

Tuesday 27 November 2012

Production Log

I have created a list with everything that I need to do before the Christmas holidays.






Production Log: new idea

with having me in the music video can be a boit odd this is becuase i have the other girl for the grey scale and me for the green screen however in the gry scale footage the girls face is showen and this would be confusing for the auience and in the grey scap part the girl is shown and in the colour part i am shown.

therefore i have to change my idea, i will make it as if i was looking through a window seeing her dance then i walk away and open a door on to a stage where i dance this would be a better for me as i would be able to dance and show my head with out confusing the audience.

Sunday 25 November 2012


after all the foot I had taken I then tried putting it together randomly, I did this as I was want some experience with putting things together therefore I used Windows Movie Maker to create this

Friday 23 November 2012

Production Log

okay so I have a small problem.. my dancer has no bailed out and will not be dancing for my music video anymore  this now creates a problem for me as I have half of my footage with her, and I only had a few more hours of filming with her to finish off my filming. However to over come this I have asked a few friends to be in my video but none of them know how to dance, I then thought to my self I know how to dance why don't I be in my own music video this would help me as all I would need is some one to film with my direction which shouldn't be a big problem as I know what I wont to see in my video and I my friends are willing to film.

Thursday 22 November 2012

Production log

I have done some filming on a green screen, i have put all the shots i have taneken ad made a small video showung the rawfooting  which is untouhed and will post on my blog through youtbe. i will be removing the sound from the shots and placing the song which i am doing for my music video.

The filming i have behind the greenscreen i think isnt good at all and may not use all the it but may take a few seconds out of it. Im not happy with the footage i have taken. i asked my teacher on advice on what i should do as i find it very hard to film someone dacning this is beccuase when i go in for example to take a shot of her hand for a second it would be in one place and then would move when i start filmimng. My teacher suggested taking  different and larger camera, which was used for filmimg documentary, he showed me how to use it and i think it would be much better for me to use that camera.

Wednesday 21 November 2012

2nd Draft - inside covers

this is my second draft yet I fin that it is very boring and doesn't have anything interesting or exciting however I do like my text and the image so I may just change out the way its laid out.



Sunday 18 November 2012

1st Draft - inside covers

this is my first draft of my digipak however due to the change in my idea I decided to also change my design for my digipak, this is the inside covers.

Editing software



so as I have no knowledge about Adobe Premier I thought it would be useful for me to use a tutorial to help me use the software. I thought that YouTube would be the best place to look for tutorial and I came across this video. This is video is the 3rd part of the whole tutorial I found this one the most useful as it goes through the different aspects of the software

DigiPak sketches

i have made a rough scatch of my digipak

this is one of my ideas of the front cover of my digipak

Lyrics

My song choice is Tujhpe fida from a film called heroine, however as its a Bollywood song taken from a Bollywood Movie the song is in Hindi  therefore I have sumerised  what the song is about and why I wish to use it as my music video in a small document I made.

Developing of my Idea

I was talking to my media teacher the other day and he suggested an idea which I thought would be actually be very interesting and I will be trying it out. The idea is still the same however have using a girl and following her journey to the performance rather than a group as whole, I think this will give my music video more meaning and would keep my music video more entertain for the audience.

Tuesday 16 October 2012

Production Log

So.. i have been working on the written part of my planning, i want to get all of that iut of the way so i can out all my foucs and concentration on filmming and edidting my music video, i have a whole week in which i was to competelt all that i can.
i wont be able to film beucase due to the half term there is no dance classes however when the dance starts again i will be filming from 2-3 hourse which would be in the course of 2-3 weeks as i have 1 hour long dance class each friday.

Over this half term i will need to think about the coustomers i wil need for my final performance which is very important to my music video.

thats all so far ...

Tuesday 2 October 2012

Production Log

So i just showed my teacher my raw footage and he is please, he siad it looks professtional which i am happy with. I have come up with a narrative for my video. So im a going to have one person who cant get the steps write, she work very hard and feels like an out cast from the group, she wwant to be the best and therfore practices alot, then finally when they all perform and she successeed with her dance and becomes apart of the group.

i now need to start with my planning, and story bored my idea.

Contact with band/ artist



on this slide share i have uploaded a screen shot of my email to the diretor of the song that i would like to use in my music video, i have taken i print screen of the email and i have also sent the email as well.

Raw Footage

okay well after filming I wanted to see what it would look like for real however as I don't have Adobe Premier at home on my laptop I thought I will use the next bes thing which is Windows Movie Maker. So I put in all the footage that I took then edited it a bit, change the colour to black and white and added in my song. This isn't the full song as it is 5 minutes long though the clip does last for around 4 minutes. Overall I am very happy with it because what I saw in my head I can now see actually happening though i do have a long way to go.

Final Idea



this video is me speaking out my idea to sum up music video is some what like a documentary and shows how a dance group gets ready for a performance, this includes them learning the step, practising, not getting the steps, having a good time etc, all of which will be in black and white. halfway through the song it will then show the actual performance and this will be in colour, the camera will be around the dancers to involve the audience and make them feel like they are performing along with them. This part will be in colour.

Bollywood music videos

Bollywood

In Bollywood music videos it is very rare to see a real life band or an artist who is singing the song this is because most Bollywood songs are a part of a film and therefore the actors in the film will be dance to the music and lip sync to the words.
In music videos in Bollywood are not always seen to be joyful and dancing and filled with colours. There is a verity of different type of music video, the most common is a love story which is seen in through one song, a dream sequences. Bollywood music video tends to show the emotion with a character is feeling at the time of the film.
This music video shows a love story between two people
Aaja nachel: o ray piya 



















Aaja Naachke: ihsq hua 


Vicky Donor: Pani Da Rang




This is a music video showing a characters emotion
I hate luv stories: bin tere 




Some music videos are to promote the film sometimes the song video is a part of the film however this is not always the case.
Heroine: halkat jawani



Delhi Belly: Bhaag DK Boss




Those how compose and sing the song tend not be in the video some instead the main production artist or the singe is present when promoting the film. However the norm India is to release the album from the film a few weeks before the film as this helps to advertise the film. Main stream film will have director the main actor in the film and possibly the producer of the film. Something the actors dance to a song which tents to the song which makes the album poplar.

As this image shows just the director and the main actor of the film to promote the film and music launch of.

Production Log

okay so was just watching tv and an idea stuck to me, why dont i have a videos showing how the song was made for example show the dancers rehersing, and havuing fun, showing what happenes before they go on stage, this could be in balck and white the right at the end show all the dancers on stage just about to dance then the music video ends there. i think this would be very differnt yet a fun cool interesting concept. however it would be hard to shoot as i would need my dancers to be completly natual to make the video effective.

Prop list


Wednesday 26 September 2012

Production Log

I have a few songs which I'm thinking about using for my music video;

The first song is Twist from Love Aaj Kaal


second is Marjaani from Billu Barbar



Influence


these clips have influenced me in my music video, they all have a lot of different aspect which i think is effective, I have also looked at the different camera angles, mise en scene which i would use in my music video.

This is a song form the film 'Aaja Nachle', this song is apart of the film however it has not narrative or concept and is purely a performance video.


this is a music video called 'Mashallah' this music video again is purely performance based, however music video is trying to advertise the film. the film is apart of the film 'ek tha tiger' however it was only used for advertising as the misc video was shown at the end of the film with when showing the credits


again this video is just a performance video, and is a part of the film 'Agneepath'



this is music video is in the film 'Ekk main auk ek u' this film starts off with a nattarive however this is due to the fact it was in a film, however a minute into the music video is becomes a performance video.


in this music video at the beginning the child is saying to the actor 'please do and 'item number' for out film Challar Party' (the term item number means a music video for promotion purposes) form them on the song is just a performance.



at the beginning of this song is apart of the film once the music comes in is the music video, this is a purely a performance video. taken from the film Band Baaja Baarat


This music video as again another performance video, this is the song im thinking about be doing.

Magazine ads

In Bollywood, most music videos are a part of a film therefore a music video the best way to attract people to watch the film as the music video is the USP of a film and also has been. This means that on the film posters an image from the music video is used. This not only promotes the film but also promotes the music video. There is a music video from the film ‘heroine’ directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. Here is the music video.






And here is the poster of the film with an image taken from the music video. It has a signature image from the music video which the star of the music video, when people look at this they will recognise the song.



 Another film is Band Baaja Baraat directed by Maneesh Sharma have followed the convention of Bollywood by having significant images from song on posters to promote the film and song.





Here is there music video from Band Baaja Baaraat 


Another film that has done this is Aaja Nachle






Images that I have found have been placed in the magazines, newspapers and posters to help promote the music video and the film. this is one of the codes of the Bollywood.

Research into Possible Equipment Choices


This is a video I made about the different equipments that I could possibly use to make my music video, digipak and magazine advert.
Overall I have said that I will be using two different camera; a cannon's DSLR and a nikon's DSLR which will allow me to take high quality and professionally pictures and footage. I will be using a tripod to assist me when I'm using the camera. along with professional flash lights. to put together my digipak and my magazine add I will be using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and for my music video I will be using Adobe primer

Production Log

Another thing I could do for my music video is have an english song with indian dancers and indian dancing, I have a few songs in which I could do this however the loactions is the key thing which I dont know what to do, I want my music video to be different and good at the same time.

Production Log

There is a great music video with narrative from the song ‘dil mere’ it’s a fun, romantic music video with effects, I was thinking to copy the music video and change the song. The song would be jugin ji. This would be challenging for me as I don’t know how to use the software which will allow me to put effects on however I think this could be successful.

Production Log

I was thinking about showing a few friends having a good time and dancing in their dance class, however there is no narrative. However I will be doing a lot of research and looking at music videos to help me.

Production Log

For my music video I know that I have a dance group with professional dancers willing to participate in my music video, however I am struggling with finding a right song and idea, I was looking at the music video ‘marjani marjani’ from the film billu however I don’t have any locations in which I can film.

Production Log

Another thing I could is do something similar to what is done in the video of jugin ji, it is very simple and what have to end the whole thing very well. The video is in once location and shows the main singer and other co singer, dancing around and singing along, its very simple and it would be very hard to shoot once I get the right distance and angles.

Tuesday 11 September 2012

Production Log

For my music video I am thing about doing a performance video, on the song HAS HAS - DJ SURINDER, I have a dance group which are ready to in the video. I was listening to song and just came up with an idea why not film the dancers while they are in the dance studios and show them having fun, I think it would be quite interesting to see however this is just an idea I will need to think on who the video will be aimed at and how I will shoot it. I think it is a good idea but I will need to improve on in.

Monday 13 August 2012

Production Log

In calss we were having a group discussion about music videos and someone pointed that it is very hard to create an idea which is orginal, therfore top  make life easier we can copy an exsiting music vedio. i love the video to HAS HAS DJ SURINDER RATTAN FT. JOGA SINGH & METZ N TRIX i think its really cool and fun. however the location would be very hard.
there is also the video from teh film cocktail which i think is Yaariyaan as i like the concept however it will be quite diffictult

Wednesday 11 July 2012

More Ideas

i have been thinking about what i should do for my music video and i had an idea of a love stoy or a story about lossing a friend. so have a male in balck and white with a black background and a sharp light. this would be who the sotry is about. then i would show flash back of him and his friends and what they had cross cutting with the the prensent where all the friends are not together and not having a good time. i am not so sure if it will work but i will need alot of preperation and developing.
