Reviewing the Footage

Filming Schedual

Filming Schedule

To inform both my actors of the filming schedule i wrote them both a joint email so that any enquiries could be handled quickly. likewise they will be able to see each others response which could further inform the other recipient on any changes in plans. This will make the communication process more efficient as I will not have to constantly update the other performer on changes concerning the other performer

UV Makeup Designs 

Design 1: Half Face Pattern

Whilst looking at different designs from the internet and general face paint ideas i decides to draw a simple template of the design i was going to practice before the Filming so that I knew what would look good considering this was the first time i was using UV face paint. 

I chose to use mainly swirls and rounded shapes so that it could resemble tribal face paint . This would be to give an exotic alternative look to my Music video that will also be used to resemble a club atmosphere using the bright lights. 

Under the UV light the design looked much better thank expected and really made the pattern more exaggerated which enhanced the Overall club atmosphere.  

 Design 2 : Full Face 

For my second design i experimented using a a full face pattern so that the face looked complete and still looked like a person rather than a figure with half a face.

Using a full face of makeup is also beneficial for the partiality of filming as i have more of shots and camera angles i can use. This means I don't just have to film from one side for the makeup to be appreciated.

Location Recce:

Location In Spain: 

Although finding locations in foreign countries was a bit difficult, the fact that i was going to my holiday home meant that i knew the whole town very well and knew exactly the type of places I am thinking  of filming in. I am also open to finding and experimenting in locations that I haven't specifically found but that we may encounter as the music video is meant to resemble a perfect holiday that the main character never got to experience.

Target Audience

Target Audience Profile:  

Nicole Stevens 

Age: 19 years old

I decided to display my target audience profile using a Intagram format as instagram is often used as a way to express yourself and to have the ability to tell your friends your interests and oppinions on things.

I also chose to display my target audience profile used instagram so that I can add pictures as well as commenting on these pictures as well as also showing that Nicole is fond of social media and is interested in mainstream trends.
If 'Nicole Stevens' was a real individual this is what her instagram would look like.

Genre Research

Genre Research 

Main Conclusions:

From my genre research I can take away the overall tone that is needed to make successful tropical house music video by my developed understanding for the need of vivid florescent colours, tropical locations and hot weather among many others. Themes of fun and holiday is also essential but I need to avoid making the video look like it is just a holiday I filmed rather than a music video filmed in an exotic country. Club setting are also key features that denoted vibrancy and playfulness through its iconic coloured lights.

Using this new knowledge I will create a Music video that will incorporate many of the conventions of the tropical house music genre

Three Types of music videos

Three Types Of Music Videos 

The music videos that I looked at were: 

Narrative: Justin Timberlake - 'What goes around, Comes back around' 

The music video focused on the relationship between two characters where they fall in love. As the song continues we see that the female character has been unfaithful which ultimately results in her death. The music video Does have a performance element despite being heavily narrative based where Justin is in a classic looking casino singing to a audience. 

Conceptual: Pink - 'Try' 

This particular music video is clearly conceptual yet it does follow a symbolic narrative. The narrative is expressed through contemporary dance which is a powerful use of movement to portray love and affection as well as hate. The conceptual element is the fact the story is connoted through dance which is a also accompanied by the use of paint splatter which is increased through the music video. 

Performance: Beyonce - 'Best thing I never had' 

98% of this music video is performance based and includes different locations and props. Although the concept is basic it still does portray a narrative by the outfit of a wedding underwear which symbolises a relationship and purity. The use off different locations also made the visuals more ascetically pleasing so it wasn't repetitive.
