Poster and changes to narrative

India who is in our group created a poster for us to use within the narrative promoting myself as the artist for an upcoming show. Aaron will be putting the posters up with me in the flashback scenes which therefore shows how he knew about the show so that the audience can understand his appearance at the end of the music video.
We have also made some slight changes to the narrative aspects of our music video. 
The changes we have made are:
  • The break up of the relationship will no longer be shown by Aaron just walking away as we thought that this would be unclear to our audience.  Instead Aaron will be shown at the bus stop waiting for his bus to go to University which therefore shows why they had to split up as the female artist (me) wants to carry on with her singing career.
  •  So Aaron knows about my show we are going to have a scene where Aaron is putting up posters around the town with me to promote my show which links with the ending of our music video when Aaron walks in on me practicing for my show even though we have broke up.

Filming Notes

Tuesday 11th November
We plan to start our filming on this day during our media lesson. We are going to film the flashback scenes due to Aaron being available to come in to Ludlow for filming as we need both myself and Aaron to be in the relationship scenes. At first we were unsure whether Aaron would be able to come in due to a football injury however he is well enough to come in for filming.  We hope to be able to film in the following locations:
  • The castle green and around the castle
  • By nice and colourful houses in the town








Friday 14th November
During Fridays lesson we aim to film the scenes of myself in the drama studio. The scenes we will be filming are the performance aspects of our music video which represents the present. Due to us filming in the drama studio, the weather will not affect us. We need to ensure that we have a guitar or it will be difficult to film the scenes in the drama studio as this prop is very important for the performance scenes being used the whole way through.  If we can't film in the drama studio due to the guitar being forgotten, it will be difficult to film any other scenes due to Aaron not being available to come in as he has school. One of the people in our group is unable to come in due to having a cold which means that there will only be India available to film as I will be in the performance scenes of the music video.



As we feel that Tuesday and Friday will not be enough time for us to finish filming we have arranged to meet on Saturday 22nd. Saturday should allow us to get all our filming done as we will have more time then we get during college.  We plan to film in the following locations:
  • By the river
  • In the town and by the jewellery shop
  • Whitcliffe
  • Mortimer forest
We will ensure we check the weather nearer the time to see if its going to be possible for us to film or not.

Time Management

I am nearly up to date with all my work however I still have to finish my costumes and props, post on performers and post on choreography which I aim to have done by the end of this week. This week my group are also going to do our filming. We don't think its possible to finish all our filming within our media lessons so we are going to meet up on Saturday the 22nd as we are all available to finish our filming. We have a Facebook group so that we can all arrange to meet up and who is bringing what to the lessons as well as any problems we may have.
