Locations

Skatepark 

This will be the second location where we introduce the caricatures and start the narrative of the day and so this will be filmed in the morning of one of our filming dates. This specific ramp will be used for a wide establishing shot so that starts the narrative of our two caricatures getting arrested.    

In the opening moments of the narrate one of our actors will have to slide down this ramp so we will meet to ensure that they have the correct footwear so that they do not fall over. we will also have to ensure that it is not filed on a day where it is misty or raining. 

The second and third ramp we use in the skatepark will be sets for both performance and narrative switching between and dropping them in as the story board shows. the second ramp will also be the one used for the smoke grenade scene.   

Pathway 

The pathway will be used for both narrative and performance. This will be the location we shoot the can scene and also some long shots of the drumming. We may also set up artificial light that will be in shot as if it was being filmed in a studio but a behind the scenes twist.     

                                                                         

Carpark

Although we have some other carparks in mind we have decided that we will defiantly be using this set for some of our video. This wide shot will be used in the same way as the pathway with the drums the same distance away from the camera. This set may also be used for the action scene where our character steals the car and is arrested. When using this set we will have to be carful of the general public trying to actually use the carpark.     

Also in the carpark, we found a very interesting place where we can film some of the performance where we set the drums on the small hill. we may also utilise some time-laps while in the carpark. 

prison 

For the scene where we need a prison set (the beginning and end) we have decided to use a very plane room. we will make the room (to the best of our ability) in to somewhat of a noticeable brattish prison. the actor will also be dressed in cloths to help the audience to recognise the straight away. 

Morty Drumming Practice

1st: On the first attempt i asked Morty to simply air play play the drums so that we could see how affective it was. the conclusion was that if we did any sort of close up shots then it is very obvious that he is not actually playing the drums. Although when not actually plying the drums it allowed him to put more effort in the overall performance this means that we may use this affect in the our music.

2nd: On the second attempt I asked Morty if he could simply play the song without the music in the background this was to check that play the song and that he didn't need the music in the background to get the right timing. He was able to do this with no problem at all and so this made me very confident about using him in our video.

3rd: In the final attempt i asked if he could make it look as if he was playing the song with it on in the background. He was able to do this with very little problems and once he got in time with the song it is very hard to tell the difference between forty and the drumming in the song. He also put in a convincing performance that we will need for our music video.

Learning comment
From this practice we have leant that Morty is more than qualified to be an actor in our music video. He can play the drums to a high standard while acting to convince you that it is his song. He also did a small amount of lip syncing which we did not ask for him to learn which only shows how ensued he is to be in our video.  

Finding an Actor

As we are now looking for our actors, one four close family friends happens to be in a semi professional band (Awakening Hyperia). We needed someone who had good stage presents, convincingly play the drums, met our genre age and very importantly have some experience in music videos. After a short conversation he informed us that he and his band were preforming at the Fleece Bristol. To get a better understanding of how he presented himself we decided that we would go along to watch. Although (in his band) he is the lead guitarist we were still able to get a very good and clear grasp as to how good his stage presents is. The lead guitarist is arguably the most watched part of the band and so he is not shot of confidence which is exact what we want. When it comes to experience he again dose not fall short.

  

As there band is singed by a record label the have already released a music video named 'Breath' which is on Vevo. After also viewing the music video it only reinforced the fact that we are going to use Morty in our music video. On top of this it also means that he understands the time and commitment that is involved in filming and so we will not have to worry about him waiting time or cancelling last minute.

Comment 
Fromm the inspiration board it has given me many ideas as to what sort of different things we can use in our music video. Completing this before our story bored will defiantly help if we become stuck or need a different idea of what will be in the shot or how we will film that shot.
