Record Company Logo

After discussing the record label logos on our lesson yesterday, we have decided that this logo works best and looks most convincing for our fictional record company:

Costume

After considering our budget, we have decided that we will both go home and select the most appropriate items from our own wardrobes, that would be suitable for Verity in our video. We will then experiment with outfits on Kayleigh to see which fit/suit her best and are most in keeping with our characters personality. The items we will try to find are those primarily in nude tones or floral designs and of an elegant and demure cut.

Filming Session Alteration

We have altered the date for our filming session from Sunday 14th to Monday 15th  because Kayleigh is no longer available to film on Sunday.

Digipak Template

Here is the template for the size and shape my digipak will be when printed.

Make-Up

The style of make up that we plan to use on Verity will be minimal and highlight her beauty and youth. The aim of the make-up is to make her skin look pale and clear and her eyes look large and innocent. We also want to give her a slight glow on her cheeks and subtle pink lips so she appears healthy.

Here are some examples of the make up style;

Shot List

Here are the shots of our video grouped together according to location, so when we begin filming we can film all the shots for each location in one. Under each shot are the lyrics or sound that is playing during the shot. Shots that are used more than once will have to be filmed repeatedly with the appropriate lip syncing for each version. Shots that will be used on multiple occasions at the same point within the song, we will simply film once and re-use during editing.

Record Label

I have created a fictional record label for our artist to make our product appear more professional.
Our record company will be called: Records 13
These are my logo designs:

After we select the best logo design, we will be able to include it on our digipaks and posters.

Filming Preparation

Our first filming session will take place on Sunday 14th October. We will be filming the outdoor shots so we will just need Kayleigh for this section.
The equipment and props we will need are:
- Shot list (so we know what shots we've grouped together)
- Outfits
- Ipod (to play the song)
- Portable speakers (for playing the song aloud outdoors)
- Camera and Tripod
- Original storyboards (can refer back to them if we need to)
- Camera (Take pictures of the filming in action)
- Hairspray, make-up, make-up wipes
- Blanket and Coat for Kayleigh

- Before going out to film, we will style Kayleigh's hair and do her make-up at my house in Broughton Astley since that is also our outdoor filming location.
- We also need to take a photo of her face proir to the first take so that we can retain continuity in her hair and make-up throughout the shoot.
-On the shoot, we need to take a warm and coat blanket for her as she will only be wearing a dress for the duration of the shoot and she will be cold.

Track Listing

1) Believe
2) Forever and Always
3) 13
4) Brave
5) Fairytale
6) Hey Sam
7) Black Horse
8) We Belong Together
9) By The Phone
10) Sorry Is Not Enough
11) Sleeping Alone
12) Window Pain
13) Forever and Always (Acoustic Version)

To decide on these track names, we looked at previous songs released on Taylor Swift's album and altered them slightly. We had to keep in mind that the names needed to fit the same theme and sound realistic to the genre. The album is called 'Believe' so we listed that as our first song, then 'Forever and Always' is the featured song that our music video is based on so we have listed that as the second track. The final track is an acoustic version; having the bonus track at the end of the album is a generic convention that spreads across all genres of music.

Video Camera

The video camera we will use to record our film will be a HD camera that we will hire from school; it records on a memory card which will be easy for us to transfer onto the computer to edit when we are ready. To keep the camera stable, we will need to hire a tripod from school; this will enhance the quality of our filming.

This Week...

This week we need to draw up our digipak designs and upload them onto our Blog.
We also need to start filming our video and organise a day where our main star Kayleigh is available to start filming the outdoor shots. We cannot start the indoor filming until next week because our male role Sam is not available this week. Sunday has the most promising weather forecast this week therefore we will aim to arrange filming for this day.
