The DVD.

For an added extra task we made a sticker to put on our DVD. Again we have taken inspiration from the film Dreamgirls where some stills taken from the film are shot from behind the three girls with lights above and infront flaring into the lens of the camera. We used a photo taken by Chelsea on the day of filming but there were certain things that i wanted to have adjusted to the image to better suit our other media products and achieve some intertextuality. I wanted to darken the whole background of the image because you could see the school tables, fire exit signs and by darkening the image it just simply made the image look much more cleaner and less cluttered. Also i wanted more lights above the singers which was something Chelsea knew how to do. On the original photo there was only 4 lights but Chelsea photoshopped in four more and a lens flare in the middle.

I am pleased with what we achieved because although it isn't as aesthetically bright and beautiful as the dreamgirls image it covers it in a much more simplistic way.  Ours is alot duller but our background wasn't nice to look at so in my opinion it had to be taken out which is different from the original as theres is much brighter but it appears as though they had far many more lights at their disposal. Similarly they both have a glow around the artists which is one thing we strived to make right, so therefore based on these positives about the sticker it is one of the production items i am most happy with. 

Girls Aloud. The Promise.

When thinking about the music video and whether to use black and white to encompass the notion of it being a 50/60's Motown music video. For a modern band like our own we found the Girls Aloud, The Promise video for some inspiration. I think it is good because it has both colour and black and white. We knew we were going to be filming at the school stage but we had some difficulty deciding on a suitable backdrop. I noticed this video and how clear it was whilst being black and white. I like how the lights surround the band like a frame which is something we considered to do but couldn't source the resources. We also discussed about using sparkly dresses to reflect the lights but due them being costly and again difficult to come by due them being somewhat out of fashion. This video is also where i got the idea for the pan across the singers as i thought it worked well to represent the three singers as a band and also to add some movement to the video and not letting it be completely static. Using both elements form this video and Chers original for "The Shoop Shoop Song" and other texts i believe that we can successfully achieve a good video.

Cher Star Profile.

Cher, Cherilyn Sarkisian, was born on May 20th 1946 in California, USA. Cher began her rise to fame as a session singer in 1963 after building a close relationship with Sonny Bono who worked under music producer Phil Spector in Hollywood. She sang back-up on many records before becomming an established solo artists such as The Ronnettes "Be my Baby". She then went on to release two solo singles in 1964 under different pseudonyms Cherilyn and Bonnie Jo Mason. The signles did not have any severe impact on the record industry and did not at this stage thrust her into the limelight.

Before being known now as the world famous "Sonny and Cher" the pair were called Ceasar and Cleo. At just 19 Sonny and Cher released their first album in 1965 which contained the smash hit "I got you Babe". The duo then went on to release strings of singles that charted reasonably respectuflly and returned to the Billboard top ten with their song, The Beat Goes On. In the 60's the pair featured on many American TV shows to promote themselves and their music. Later in 1965 Cher released her first solo album and two more in consecutive years. They were reasonably well recieved in both sides of the Atlantic and were frequently produced by her friend and eventual lover Sonny Bono. Riding on the success of Chers solo ventures and the duos success, Sonny arranged for Cher to be in a few fimls but unfortunately bombed at the box office.

In the first half of the 70's, Sonny and Cher appeared in a range of own branded television shows on CBS. One of their shows "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" was extremely popular and achieved 15 Emmy nominations across its run. In 1971 at age 25 Cher released another solo album entitled Gypsies, Tramps and Theives and a single of the same name reached number one on the Billboard 100 chart in America. Her next solo album Half Breed released in 1973 which certified Gold and also garnered another number one single. In 1974 she realesed another solo album called Dark Lady which was also the name of her thrid solo number one single. Cher then went on to win a Golden Globe for her performance in The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour but what followed was a bitter public divorce from Sonny Bono and their partnership both privately and professionally  ended. Cher and Sonny went their seperate ways in the television industry but did reunite for their acclaimed comedy show but due to Cher's pregnancy she pulled the plug. Cher then later went on the marry musician Gregg Allman.

From the late 70's untill the 80's Cher relesed many solo attempts but they were misses in the music industry. Throughout the 80's Cher reinvented herself as a serious actress and went on to star in many films and television series. For her performance in the 1987 film Moonstruck she won herself the Academy Award For Best actress, Golden Globe and Peoples choice award. She aslo had many other nominations for her performances in Mask and Silkwood. In her return to music after 5 years towards the end of the 80's she made three highly successful rock albums which showed her diversity as an artists. Her biggest hit of this period was "If I Could Turn Back Time" which charted successfully in many countries across the world.

In 1990 Cher starred in the film Mermaids which she also sung the son "The Shoop Shoop Song" for its soundtrack. She also released an album named Love Hurts which had more success in Europe than American with it being number one in the UK for 6 consecutive weeks. A cover album was released in the late 90's titled Love Can Build a Bridge which contained the Euopean hits "Walking in Memphis" and One by One. She again starred in numerous films and television but was struck with the death of Sonny Bono her ex husband in 1998.

From then on Cher relased her popular and critically successful album Believe which she won a grammy for and which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. In 2000 Cher was awarded a Life Long contribution to music award from the World Music Awards embarked on her farewll tour and signed on to a residency in Las Vegas where she performed 200 shows over 3 years. Recently she has just finished her residency and starred in the film Burlesque and is planning an album comback.

Day Of FIlming.

It was decided that we were going to film the narrative for our music video on Friday 25 March. Chelsea and myself spoke about adding a narrative after talking to Miss Smith during our free time and also from the audience feedback given to us in class. Due to the two of us going forward with this independently and after making the preparations for the shoot it was found out that not all four members of the team could make the shoot. Molly and Zoe were all notified of the shoot but could not make which is understandable due to the short notice so we carried on. We called on three of our friends to be in the video. The location was in Chelsea's bedroom and i sourced some props in the form of vinyls, an authentic 60's radio and some original 60's books just to use in the background. We followed Chelsea in two cars as her house is not local to us to make it to the shoot together and successfully. Upon receiving the production schedule for the shoot the times, location and props and costume for the cast were all there in writing. As mentioned in an earlier post i took inspiration from OutKasts "Hey Ya" video and the film "Hairspray" for the narrative. I liked in these how the cast and/or viewer were watching the music video or television programme that was featured in the music video. I initially wanted to do this also but couldn't source a 60's television so instead opted for a radio. This worked quite well i think as we set the narrative as a girls pyjama party where the three girls were getting all dressed up listening to the radio and vinyls, having a good time. Also there is three young girls in the narrative and three lead adult females in the band which worked well for continuity and a sort of link between the two. Although when we reached the shoot we fell behind schedule a little because we found ourselves having a lengthy discussion over some food and drink. Although we quickly got ourselves together and Chelsea and I prepared the room the girls got into costume and did their hair. After the room was complete, Chelsea helped with the hair. When we began filing i took the role as director and Chelsea was in charge of the camera although we talked to each other about appropriate positions to film the shots we had discussed and drawn up. Overall i think it went well because we achieved our goal of filming our narrative and it looks like we have filmed some good footage from viewing the clips back on the camera. As the deadline is nearing Chelsea had said she would take on the editing as she also has Adobe Premier at home.

Making The Team Aware of The Narrative Shoot.

Here are stills taken from my phone and Facebook showing the details that were given to people taking part in the shoot and information for members of the team.

     

Week 12

As we continue to finalise the edit it became apparent that a few shots were not as steady as we once thought. I'm not quite sure how this happened as the tripod was placed on a flat surface away from where anyone was standing. There was one particular pan across the singers which was really shaky and not acceptable to be submitted. The pan shot was difficult to achieve on the day of filming anyway due to lack of space on the stage and no dolly and track. Although these would have been advantageous in getting a more successful shot we improvised by walking across in font of the singers trying our best to keep a still wrist. So to overcome this i took the clip home on a memory stick to edit at home. I converted the file into MP4 and uploaded it into iMovie, i know a simple software but it had what i needed. The software has a button which allows iMovie to analyse the clip and stabilise the video. I did this and although it made some difference it wasn't extensive but still it has made the overall aesthetics of the video better. Aswell as doing this we continued to work on the DVD cover and magazine advert.

The red squiggly line shows what parts of the clip have been stabilised. 

Week 11

Since returning from half term it has become apparent that time is upon us and that any work that hasn't been completed for the production by now has no dedicated lesson time. This to me doesn't seem to be too much trouble as between the four members of the group we have enough time out of lesson to complete said tasks. In lesson time we have split into two sub groups with one working on the DVD cover and menus, etc, whilst the other works on the magazine article. The group was told first lesson back that the editing had been completed and that only some colour changes were needed to be made but we were unable to check because of the schools computer technicians removing a vital piece of data from the computers which allowed us to edit and view the work. Fortunately this was solved by the end of it. With Zoe leaving many times in her frees, assuming she hadn't finished the edit, Chelsea and i went to the editing suite on Thursday to finish the edit. I was there for one hour long period whilst Chelsea for two. It was clear to us that although the whole video was finished it wasn't of a particularly good standard, for example there were some parts out of sync, a small segment without any video or music, and some dubious cuts where the audio would repeat itself. Also we discovered some unused footage that is perfect to replace some other shots which are either not perfect or have unwanted material in the background for example. Our teacher Mr. Shepperd helped us sync the song which at some points he found to be a peculiar feat as it became apparent the singer was out of time on the recording ever so slightly which made a simple task reasonably difficult. After this we placed the additional material that we wished to add into the correct positions to tidy up in another session. We also identified areas where shots lingered which we felt needed to be adjusted.

Also this week Chelsea gave me some work that she needed to upload to the blog but she didn't have a scanner to do so. I took the work home for her, scanned it and emailed it her back.

Magazine Advert Research

It was Molly ans myself that were charged with creating the poster. We firstly didn't have any ideas between us but this didn't stop us trying new things and i think we worked quite well together in doing so. We stumbled across the perfect idea by some choice wording into google which ended in us finding the Motown party poster on the right. We were immediately drawn to this and began to copy it. It was however me who finished in my frees as deadlines drew closer but none the less i feel Molly was still integral into the decision making and overall look of the poster in the end. Again there is many similarities in our ancillary texts and main task which was something as director i pushed for at the initial first meeting and something which i am pleased we managed to achieve. As you can see we have used images of the three female singers in the shape of the Motown "M" and added a Motown logo and the bands logo and song name as an advertising tool. I tried to achieve the same if not similar colouring as the original but couldn't i think because of me lacking copious amounts of technical skills in photoshop although what i knew was enough to create many layers and shapes that masked out the complete photo's that were used as i used three in total to achieve the desired effect. I added the Motown logo as at the time we believed we were going to have one on our DVD cover also. It also acted as a suitable replacement for the "good kids" symbol seen in the poster on the right. I am again pleased with the outcome of this piece as i didn't think i would be able to do with how little i knew about photoshop but ended up creating an almost exact replica of the original. Also i like how we have used intertextuality at some point across all of our products. One small problem we faced was that the school computers didn't have the font Chelsea used for the logo but we simply transferred my work onto a memory stick for her to do add the logo at home. 

DVD Cover Research.

As mentioned before we found it difficult to find original material from the Motown era and so we had to use secondary sources which were modern day representations or primary sources such as still photos and accounts. When researching an idea for the DVD cover we didn't really find anything too suitable for the mentioned reason so ours is somewhat of an original idea. There are some elements from modern day DVD's that suit a Motown genre like the image of the three girls but our photo is a sort of behind the scenes candid photo with the back-cover having a photo of the 60's styled microphone. We also included a blurb on the back which described what was on the DVD and the special features. For some added professionality we also included a "exempt" from age restriction symbol and a barcode. On both the spine and front cover there is the name of the bands in the font that was designed by the teams designer.

Here is some examples of what i could find that relates to Motown and from the two on the right you can identify similarities that show the band as the main focus of the cover and that both contain the bands names. Below is our DVD cover. 

Questionnaire Answers & Information.

Here are some results that we found out from recieving our questionnaire.

- Largely we targeted the age range 16 to 24 because of the people we knew and accessabilty for people to complete the questionnaire. We aslo had some results from the age range43 + to a convenience hand out in a pub. In the age rande 16 to 24 we had a near equal spread of sexes bu the age range of 43+ came from mostly males.

- The genre of music question had largeley scattered results as obviusly each person has their own preference. This then resulted in many people leaving the written question about what to expect from their chosen genre as not many people could identify genre conventions.

- A small proportion of the 43 + males said that they would employ a cover band but there was little interest from 16 - 24. This supports our idea of the ages growing with the music and being able to identify with the band and their music because what they sing will be something that they can remember from their past.

- We largely found that recommendations and previous viewing would influence a potential customer the most but as the promotional material has yet to be made they do not know what advertising tools we have to use.

- Most people who answered the questionnaire thought that promotional material would be influential to their decision making it was professional looking and of a high qaulity standard.

- It was also noted that a large proportion of people how were sampled agreed that a Motown orientated band would be suitable for many functions but not all, particulalry Weddings and Work Parties. Younger people who were surveyed did not seem to dislike the idea but were not overtly confident about it.

- It was agreed that at most functions the employer would want their function band to be formal.

- For question 12 regarding the includion of a narrative that reflects the lyrics was largely left blank.

- Again the final question about a music video being more appealing to watch with a narrative than without had few answers but it was noted that many suggested that it would hold interest longer than being one or the other.

Week 9 & Week 10

During weeks nine and ten the group has been working on editing the footage that we had previous collated by naming the shot and take. Zoe is the editor of the main task and during lesson time i sit with her and Molly and Chelsea who are editing the V.A.M. Im not quite sure what i am supposed to do at this stage in production when it comes to the edit because Zoe has told me that she wants to follow the shot list and storyboard to complete the task and then work together to make some changes which is something i am happy to do. I think Zoe is very competent and independent at editing and she doesn't seem to have any problems so other than sitting with her to answer any questions she has i don't fully know what else i can do to help. However during the edits i ask how Zoe is and how she is getting on, if their is anything i can do to help and i would say when answering she can be a little incoherent and give me "yes", "no" and "fine" answers which is a little dis-heartening because i'm only offering to help, but at other times i have spoken to her out of lesson about the task and she has helped be help her by conveying her answers more eloquently. I emailed Zoe a copy of the Shot list and storyboard for her own personal use which first failed but after speaking to her during school i found i had a slight mistake in her email address so all was easily corrected. It was made known to the group that members from the band and/or their representatives would be coming into school on Tuesday 15 February to see what has been done so far. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend because of having a previous external appointment, which the group are aware of, so both Zoe has access to the shot list and storyboard and i gave Molly my hard copies incase they are needed during the lesson to edit. I am confident that the band will be please and satisfied with what has been achieved so far although it must be stressed that the edit isn't finished and it is the first cut.

Adding A Narrative.

With the possibility of adding a narrative now looking feasible i have thought of the following idea. My idea for adding a narrative involves the music video that we have filmed being watched on a TV by a small group of people preferably female, as if the music video is actually being watched by and audience of fans/ viewers. The basic plot is that there is a living room with a sofa, table and television in 50's England to keep it in theme with the video and to have a continuous time frame and aesthetic feel. The group of people will all rush into the living room heckling such things like, "it's on" "turn it up" suggesting that The Harmonettes are extremely popular and world famous. When the video begins on the TV the people begin to get excited and the camera pans into the television for it to then be shown like an original video. When it finishes the camera cuts back to the living room to the audience staring at the TV in silence with a stunned look on their face. A slight pause lingers before the group scream and heckle with excitement that they have seen The Harmonettes video for The Shoop Shoop Song in homage to the sort of scenes you get at behind the scenes footage of live shows where screaming girls line the walkway to the stage entrance.

Here are some examples of similar work that has inspired me for this section of the video.





What i like about these videos and what id like to use our narrative if we do film one is how detailed the mise-en-scene is, however this will be difficult for us to do. I also like in both of these videos the audience/ characters or even both are viewing something of a performance. The audience of the OutKast video are shown watching a television as part of the production and then the video cuts to the performance. Also in the Hairspray video we can see two of the characters watching the Corny Collins Show in television and racing to get home to finish their viewing. I want to re-create this notion of watching the performance as an outsider and then being brought into it. In our production i want to use it as a narrative tool where the viewers can be brought away from the performance to view the narrative. I also want to use the narrative as a way to introduce the performance based part of the video.

[UPDATED]
We did decide to add the narrative after lengthy discussions about the positives and negatives in doing so and also taking into account comments from audience feedback. One difficulty we had was sourcing a authentic 1960's television set so we opted to use a radio instead we can achieve the same effect but just by hearing the song and then being introduced to the performance, plus i was able to source a 60's transistor radio.

Illustration, Amplification, Disjuncture.

Aside from genre there are three other factors than can determine the outcome of a music video. These are illustration, amplification and disjuncture. 

- An illustration music video simply put illustrates the lyrics of the song in a visual format. It is straightforward and used to show a performance and/or a simple narrative.



Britney Spears' video for Circus i think is an illustration video because it has many literal connotations to the lyrics plus the song is called "Circus" and the location is a circus tent. Her lyric "Im like the ring leader" is supported by her wearing a top hat and tails and later taming the lions which is traditionally done by the ring leader. Also she often sings "Spotlight on me" and this is supported by her soley being lit by a spotlight and/or her being infront of the light with it strobing into the camera. She also sings "the dancefloor is my stage" and then goes to perform a dance in the circus ring as if it were a stage.

- Amplification, may use both performance and a narrative. The music video amplifies the lyrics and music through the directors creative approach.



In the case of Rihanna's Disturbia video i think it fits into the category of amplification because of its use of mise-en-scene, cinematography, costume and make up. The song is quite dark lyrically and so is the video with many jump cuts creating jerked movements. Most things in the video are out of the ordinary and there is alot of black with the only light being streamed from the background. 

- Disjuncture music videos are completely abstract and have no obvious link between the artist, lyrics and music. Unlike amplification disjuncture music video's do not retain any links to the song.



Adeles Rolling in the Deep music video i think is disjunctured because there is nothing in it that supports the lyrics and music and also for a country song it doesn't contain many of stereotypes that would follow. She is sat in a room singing and there is also a contemporary dance which doesn't support what the lyrics are saying. 

Week 8.

On the day of filming before Molly had left she asked me to let her know how the filming went, so as requested when we had finished sent her a message reading the following.

During the week at school we began uploading the footage and editing. In our groups we split up into two small teams where Zoe uploaded and began to edit the music video and Chelsea and myself did the same but for the DVD extras, Molly was unable to participate because of an exam. At the start of the editing process we filed through the footage and labelled each clip with shot descriptions and take number. As we planned to film our crew interviews during school hours due to there being not enough time to film we didn't have masses of footage to categorise.

Later on in the week during one of our classes theory lessons the class expressed some of our concerns and feedback about the task. I believe that this discussion has been very beneficial to us not only giving us some confidence in our projects but also many solutions. Some concerns that we raised about some projects, ours included, was that to meet our clients requirements we made a performance video with no narrative and it was mentioned that many of the most successful music videos have a strong combination of narrative and performance. With the band members having busy schedules it was brought to our attention that the narrative didn't have to involve the band, this gave me an almost instant idea to pad out our video and make it more inviting to watch. Also for out clients we could supply a  performance video only but for our coursework we could edit a further version that incorporates both. Although i had much doubt about the project before this discussion i felt a little more relieved that our group wasn't the only one with these problems and that their our feasible solutions to meet the criteria and to an extent s production that i would personally be pleased with.

Day of Filming.

Sunday the 23rd of January was our decided filming date and confirmed by all members of the cast and crew before hand so that everyone was prepared. As previously mentioned this was a rather inconvient date to film due to having exams the next day i believe this could have been avoided by not having an early internal filming deadline. At the production meeting during the week it was decided that i would drive Chelsea and Connor, who came to help film and set up, to the location. We arrived within ten minutes after the arrival time on our production schedules due to diverting to my hosue to pick up equipment that would have aided Chelsea in her photography shoot. On arrival at the hall, the previous group who was filming were the only ones there so we were sat around just waiting for the band to turn up. However their instruments had all been left set up from the previous shoot so little needed changing apart from placement on the stage and a little tidying. All the team were present and ready to start but without all seven members of the band we couldn't begin and i thought i was best appropriate to talk with all of the members of the band together about the shoot instead of individually. After much debating and delays the lead singer, Kay, turned up. Eventually after being there for near two hours the band returned from where ever they had been however we were still left waiting for the two female back up singers. Upon arrival the band began practising a wide range of songs that they knew. I don't think that this was wholly professional of them as in a real world situation this would be one thing a band or artist would not be doing and if they were it would be the song the video is to be made for. This was not beneficial as i was trying to discuss plans for the shoot with the singers and which also increased the difficulty to communicate between each other. I chose the shots to represent the band as equally as i could which was one thing that was requested by the band. The set up of the shots was a little time consuming and again the band felt the need to play between takes but i already knew what i wanted and where i wanted the camera to be placed because of the detailed storyboard and shot list that i had made in preparation for the shoot i just had to shout or move around around to let the cameramen know where to be. Overall i don't think this project has been my best and do believe i could do better. I think i was prepared enough in what i wanted to achieve but the shoot felt very lack lustre and i don't think my heart was in the project 100% as the music, genre and band are something that i am not passionate about and there were also many little details that were missing for me personally to be satisfied with to make the project a glowing success.
