Reason for choosing to do a music video.

There are several different reason why were have chosen to do a music video, firstly the group are great fans of Metallic . Mass knows the vocals to the song that we have chosen and knows how to play the guitar for the song, and Joe knows the drums to the song. This is one of the main reasons on why we choose to do a music video, a Metallic music video.

We knew we would find it easy to find suitable locations, and easy to get to, and we knew that we would make more progress ad complete this quicker than a film trailer.

We come up as a group with a final decision that we will do a music video, this is because we felt that it would take less effort and thought in to planning, unlike a music video a film trailer needs a plot, needs a script made, and would have to have a lot of thinking over it . So as a group we thought a music video would be more enjoyable and more fun filming a band playing their instruments while having a story scene to it. Also by doing a music video we felt as a group that we would be better off doing it, and the first day we come up with several good ideas, and will hopefully be in the video. We also felt to do a music video because we had the correct equipment to do a music video, mass had the guitars, Joe had the drum kit, I could provide loud music.

Myself and my group are very passionate about music, and listen to Metallic on a daily basis, making it easy to understand the song and understand how its played.

Re-shoot/Re-edit

During the process of producing our music video we filmed a lot of on the first time, and got about 30-40% of the garage scene complete. We went through the process of editing the garage scene and then realized we needed more film for the garage scene. So the after that weekend we filmed on the Monday. Once we did this re-shoot we went back and did the editing of the extra scene that we filmed. After this we where happy with the amount of film that we had for the garage scene.

Our next scene to complete was the woods scene, this is were Craig (myself) will be getting chased by the 4 Characters. This was the longest process of filming because we had to find what would be the best location, and this took time to get to. Once we had completed the filming in the woods, we realized yet again that we need to do some extra scene that we thought of after we did editing, so we went back to the woods to complete our extra filming. Once this was completed we went back and edited the new scenes in. This then made the woods filming complete.

Once we had all the film from the 2 locations we then looked at the film that we had, we then saw that some of the film was cut a little short, and cut a the wrong points. So we went back and sorted this editing problem out, and once we did this it was sorted.

Once we had our film from our 3^rd location we realized that some of the other shot we had where now to long to fit in the 3^rd locations filming. So we edited the 3^rd locations filming and put it in to place, once this was done we cut the film that was to long and made it shorted. Once this was complete our music video was coming on well and we after this we just had to fix small parts of the video up.

Once we rendered the film we saw that some film was out of time, and did not match to what could be seen and hear, So we opened up the video in the editing software again, and loaded the video on the side, we then paused the video at the point to where it was out of time, then went to the same time on the video and then moved the video along, cut the film, then made it stretched it to make it the same time it was before. We then watched the video of again and saw everything was in place and in time, so we then did the final render, and then watched that and saw it was in time, we then uploaded this on to YouTube to place on to our blogs.

Mood boards

Here are I have selected several different images of bands from the rock and metal genre. As you can see in the pictures the majority of the band members have long hair, and pose/play in a aggressive or relaxed style. This is due to the fact this is rock/metal genre and the dark aggressive nature to it. The dress code.outfits that is most commonly seen and worn by these bands and artists are black, short sleeve shirt, ripped jeans and sometimes a chain with medallions on them. Some bands or artists wear clothing that express their feelings, as well as their music style, these are the main elements that me and my group will be looking at aiming for our video, to make it as "metal" as possible. Our band will be wearing Metal clothing, i.e. ripped jeans, rock/metal shirts to portray. our band as a real Metal band.
