500 Word Plot:

Main Task: Script

As this is a music video, for my script I have used the lyrics of the song, on the previous blog post I go step by step the plot of our music video, this is key points of the song which I wanted to highlight which was important in our media product or someone getting into the "wrong" gang/ the wrong influences. Normally I use slideshare in order to show my word documents, however I found it that my annotations do not come up so in order to show my annotations of parts of the song, I had to use a screenshot of my work instead. Also, this post would usually be uploaded in a word document, however the use of annotations does not enable this.

Main Task/Ancillary Tasks: Location Scouting Sheets/Inspiration

Location Scouting Sheets:

Initial Location Scouting:



Other Possible Locations:
1. On a double decker bus- this way we will be able to shot the first couple of rows of seating and not include others who don't want to be in the shoot- In order to shoot here we will have to email the bus company for permission.

2. Alley- this will be a local alley within Harlow so it will be accessible to both of us in the group.

Ancillary Tasks:
- For my ancillary tasks (magazine advert and digipak) I intend on using the location of the park to shoot my images - thus, the location scouting/inspiration here can be used for my ancillary tasks.

Main Task: Textual Analysis

Main Task: Time Analysis

JAWS - BAD COMPANY

The music video to Bad Company featured many jump cuts, meaning the timed analysis took quite a bit of time for me to complete. This video helped to inspire my idea of drug/alcohol abuse within youth subcultures due to the heavy featuring of the girl drinking throughout the video, and the use of editing that helps to portray this; for example, the constant over laying affect that is used throughout the video, hinting towards distorted vision and giving the viewer a sense that the girl doesn't understand whats going on around her. I also liked the setting of a desolate urban setting, and the sees of boredom within youth that this video suggests. Completing a timed analysis for this particular music video was helpful for me and my group as it helped us pick up on key features/shots/editing techniques that are used.

WOLF ALICE - FLUFFY

The music video for Wolf Alice's Fluffy combines a mixture of narrative and performance, this is an element that drew me into this particular video; it tells the story of two teens who are influenced by a youth subculture and begin to behave recklessly. This video helped to influence my groups reckless 'behaviour within youth' theme due to the consistent narrative throughout, the viewer is able to understand and follow the plot, thus feeling a connection with the video. The over laying affect is also used within this video, and the use of jump cuts between past and present is also something that I found particularly interesting, reminding the audience of how things have changed. The use of constant flashing lights towards the end of music video and constant jump cuts suggesting distortion and perhaps even drunkenness was an editing technique that my group had never considered, thus making the process of completing a timed analysis extremely useful for us.

PALMA VIOLETS - WE FOUND LOVE

Though throughout the music video for Palma Violet's We Found Love there isn't a consistent narrative, there are definitely elements that have helped to influence our music video. The use of red/blue colouring is an affect that is particularly influential to our video idea's, giving the music video a 'night club' or 'gig' feel to it with the use of filters. I also liked the constant use of the dolly, giving the viewers a first hand view of the reckless behaviour of youths, though this video does use constant jump cuts (like Fluffy and Bad Company) this helped show us that in order to capture the reckless behaviour of youths jump cuts aren't the only way that you can show a 'fast' life style.
