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.

Tweet One Pilots - Stressed Out:



           

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out

We're stressed out

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one

It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes we all would take the latter

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out

We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah

We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny

We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny

We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money

We used to play pretend, give each other different names

We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away

Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face

Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"

Yeah
