Location and lighting.

I went to view the location last night and this is what I shall be using:

 

I have also booked out lighting from school as there are only very dim lights in the Cellar.

Filming with no storyboard.

As I have no proper control over what the band does whilst they are performing, I am going to research into filming with no storyboard.

Video Planning. Band, Storyboarding, etc.

After realising how unreliable my first band was, I contacted In Her Dying Memory (video below) to see if they would be intersted in filming for me. I was able to do this because I work for Mutiny Press (An online magazine) and I have interviewed bands such as Bowling For Soup, HIM, The Blackout and Chiodos, so fortunately I am in the position of being able to contact PR companies after I have previously worked with them. However, I would have to change the song as it would be better if they were performing their own song as they would be more comfortable and the outcome would be much better.



I then got a contact for a Metal band called Blessthefall (video below) and requested if I could film them for my media and do some back stage footage, aswell as filming them when they are on stage. They accepted. This shall mean that I will have a legit band, playing their own song, on stage whilst performing.



I shall have to be cautious when doing back stage footage of the band as some bands find it difficult to produce the right material such as Kings of Leon. They filmed the shots personally but they were useless and boring so all back stage shots in the video below are staged.


I am going to have to take this into consideration when filming that I might have to ask the band to do certain things for my video that they may not have done when filming previously.

However, a problem that may occur is that I will only be able to film the song once so I am going to have several cameras filming and film the whole of the set so that I can use the extra footage and fit it into the song that is playing.

Draft Music Video

Due to this being my draft I have not blurred out the offensive language as I am going to film everything again in a better location. Tonight I will start looking for another, more dedicated band and also a studio to perform in as I think that it will make my music video much better for the suggested audience.
 

The Hat.

This is a still image from my video that i have just screen shotted.
I am going to have to blur out his hat when I edit my video as this would not be appropriate to be shown on any music channels.
Although this is part of what would be expected from a metal genre 'costume' it is still not appropriate for me to have it shown through the video.

Filming.

I filmed yesterday (10/11/13) in a woods near to my village. We moved around the wood to try different locations.
I shall start editing tomorrow as the file type that my video is on is not compatible on the computer so I shall convert the file type tonight.
