Wednesday 09/09/09 - Meeting 1
Me and Chris could not agree on a particular song for our video. We sat down and listened to alot of songs within the music genre we had decided (rock - metal). From this, we began considering a Megadeth song - "Trust".
Thursday 10/09/09 - Meeting 2
The class sat down and each group took turns to go through their current ideas. With the use of feedback, everyone was helped to further decide or develop upon their original concepts and ideas. Suggestions were made and possibilities were considered and all in all, people were able to add a bit more detail to their plans. Miss Brookes elaborated on my boundaries of the useage of clothing (for example erotic clothing within the genre). After discussion, me and Chris agreed to use "Trust" by Megadeth song for our video. We are now beginning to form our concepts and ideas for the video around the song.
Friday 11/09/09 - Meeting 3
Chris had looked into whether or not "Trust - Megadeth" had a video already as we could not find one on youtube when we looked, however we had heard the mention of a video. Chris had found that a video definitely did exist and saw it but told me it was not anything special or well known. After discussing this with Miss Bond, we decided to continue with the video regardless. We started looking into other videos we liked the ideas of. "Eat You Alive - Limp Bizkit" was one of these. We liked the idea of how the song began in the video with it coming from the perspective of a girl tied up in a chair, with the camera blurring into focus to give the impression that she had just been kidnapped. We are going to continue looking into videos.
Tuesday 15/09/09 - Meeting 4
We were already aware that we might jeopardize marks for picking an already existant music video. Because of this, me and Chris decided to come up with an extra alternative for a video each. His song of choice was "Megadeth - Addicted to Chaos", a song relatively similar to "Megadeth - Trust". This mean't that we would not have to alter the video too much. My song of choice was "Pantera - Walk", another song of rock metal genre. We have plans for using an abandoned house in Kelvedon Hatch which belongs to a contact of Chris'. All three songs could have videos that would benefit from the usage of a run down house in the middle of no where. We are now beginning the process of getting all the songs lyrics, seeing how they line up with time and we will shortly begin forming out video story boards.
Wednesday 16/09/09 - Meeting 5
Alex is absent today. It has been confirmed that 'Trust' is the song we are going to do. Chris started on the annotation of the lyrics of 'Trust.'
Thursday 17/09/09 - Meeting 6
The entire video narrative is decided and the lyric annotation is complete. I wrote a letter to the producer of the original 'Trust' music video asking for official permission to still use the song.
Friday 18/09/09 - Meeting 7
Chris rung the owner of the building we wanted to film at but the price and hours he offered us to film were impractical to our schedule and insufficient. I went away to research into other locations for our filming and contacted one of my private contacts about a particular piece of property that looked very promising just beyond South Weald. Chris also agreed to this location and showed alot of interest. Storyboarding begun today.
Monday 21/09/09 - Meeting 8
After finalizing some of the details about our new location - a derelict nightclub located just off the motorway past South Weald, and confirming permission with my contact, we have decided on the members of our music video (band member-wise) and are discussing a date to begin filming. We still need to cast the part of the protagonist/villain/captor in our video.
Wednesday 23/09/09 - Meeting 9
We completed out risk assessment and continued work on our story board. We have thought about the potentially scheduling our first filming session in the next 2 weeks, likely to be Sunday - 4/10/09.
Friday 25/09/09 - Meeting 10
We have decided the date of our first filming session to be sunday 4/10/09 and are eagerly awaiting it. We know what we need to bring (drum kit, 2 electric guitars, bass guitar, 4 members of band) and are planning forms of transportation. We would have planned the shoot for the day after tomorrow of sunday 27/09/09, however our drummer has recently been in hospital for an operation and is still recovering.
Tuesday 29/09/09 - Meeting 11
We begun our filming schedule for filming this sunday. The plan is to focus on the performance side of the video, showing the band playing together. Chris (acting as guitarist) will arrive with Andy (bassist) and the bass guitar, an eletric guitar and the drum kit. They will arrive before myself and Matt to set up the drum kit. Me and Matt will meet them there with drum sticks (2 pairs, to be safe incase one set breaks) and the other electric guitar. All is planned and we await sunday.
Work completed on animated storyboards. (Link of story board needed)
Friday 2/10/09 - Meeting 13
Wednesday 30/09/09 - Meeting 12
Planning for the day of filming. Chris is going to pick up Andy and the drum kit on Saturday night, Andy is going to stay over Chris', we go to the location in the morning and set up the drum kit. I am going to pick up the tipod from Lila tomorow and Matt will meet me in the morning and we will arrive at the filming location together.
Sunday 4/10/09 - Meeting 14 (First day of filming)
When Chris and Andy arrived they inspected the premises and set up the drum kit. When myself and Matt arrived we begun filming, starting with shot 5. We filmed all the bands hots used in the introduction, first verse and first chorus.
Monday 5/10/09 - Meeting 15
We uploaded the footage from out first day of filming and begun choosing our favorite takes. We've decided to start filming again on
11th October. Steven Wager's dad will supply transportation for Chris, Fiona (our actress) and the drum kit. In exchange for this Me and Chris will act in Steven's music video.
Wednesday 7/10/09 - Meeting 16
We have confirmed that we can get transportation from Steven's dad and Fiona is avaliable. Today we chose our CD cover and band name: 'Blood of Heroes'
Thursday 8/10/09 - Meeting 17
Today we focused on updating our blogs. Chris called Andy who will call him tomorow to confirm if he is definitely avaliable for Sunday.
Sunday 11/10/09 - Meeting 18
Today focused primarily on filming the performance/drama based scenes. We had problems with a lack of time to film and unpredictable weather.
Tuesday 13/10/09 - Meeting 19
A lot of shouting and argueing about the previous meeting. Chris was concerned about the quality of the footage filmed and felt as if not enough time had been allowed to film. I felt as if Chris was deliberatly ignoring any suggestions. We went thorugh the footage but were unable to upload any due to problems with the software. After viewing footage on the camera I thought it looked pretty effective and useful afterall.
Friday 16/10/09 - Meeting 20
Continued work on the blog and planned what was expected to be our final shoot to obtain our final bits and bobs of footage for the performance side of the video.
Sunday 18/10/09 - Meeting 21
Third day and final day of filming up at the site. After resolving our problems about the last shoot, we arrive with positive attitudes about finishing this video. Our positive attitudes held through even when we discovered that several of the bolts needed to support and hold together the drum kit had not been brought. We used our fine enginuity and quick-thinking initiative to replace the needed bolts with bendy twigs and sticks to balance and keep the drum kit in one piece. All remaining footage needed shot.
