The song we are using for our music video: 'I'll try anything for once' - By The Strokes WHAT IS DIEGETIC SOUND? – Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film’s world. Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame. ARE YOU PLANNING ON USING IT IN YOUR MUSIC VIDEO? – I think it has crossed our minds that it could look successful in our music video. Most successful in the opening or ending scene in my opinion because then you don’t have to overlap the song which can over-complicate things. WHAT SORT OF DIEGETIC SOUND WOULD YOU USE? – If we did decide to use diegetic sound we would probably do the sounds of the characters walking on the gravel on the beach or clinking glasses together when inside. This will bring out a more realism between the characters and make it seem not as staged as some music videos may look. However, this option may chan...

STORYBOARD To carry on from 'post 26: script, stage directions, plot outline' these are the current plans and storyboards we are looking at turning into our music video. Our plot outline is rough as we plan to go away for the weekend, at our setting (a victorian beachouse in Lowestoft) to have two camera people filming pretty much everything the two actors do throughout the weekend. Then, edit everything we have/that happens into our music video so it looks autherntic and natural. However, we still have some plot points, some important and some details we hope to capture.  Here is a table from post 26, explaining these: Then, we turned these into our storyboards, showing a more dynamic and realistic view of what we mean/what we want it to look like, not just simple plot bullet points. I am not very good at drawing, but i think it gives the gist of what we have in mind: LR

Planning - props We have no set props, but perhaps objects such as books, Kitchen utensils (such as mugs, teapots and so on) and possibly items of clothing that will keep us warm, for example; gloves, hats and scarfs. These props will be used with certain scenes within the music videos. for example the Kitchen utensils will be used within a scene that is located in the kitchen, whereas the items of clothing such as gloves, hats and scarfs will be used within the scenes that are shot outdoors. My group and I will not be buying any extra props as we have collected them as a group through family and friends.  The images above are taken from google images to show what sort of props we want to use for our final music video cut. As I previously said, my group and I do not need to buy any props due to the fact we all have items we have collected from our homes, friends or families. 

Planning; Costume and Make-up Defintion - ' a style of dress, including accessories and hairdos, especially that peculiar to a nation, region, group, or historical period. ... fashion of dress appropriate to a particular occasion or season: dancing  costume ; winter  costume .' The plan for our makeup and costume ideas are very similar. for example we want the theme to be very natural and simplistic. Therefore our cast and actors will be wearing minimal makeup and natural costumes. For instance, their own clothes and no outstanding makeup.  here are some pictures to show our ideas;   These photos were took yesterday to show and highlight what we intend to do within our final music video. these Images show natural clothing, as this was the models choice of outfit, natural makeup as it is very minimal and simple and finally natural lighting. All of the...

In our planning for cast and characters which we will be using in our media coursework we have narrowed it down to using Amelia (me) Daisy who are twin sisters in real life and in the music video which we will filming. We thought it would be a good idea to use real sisters rather than pretending to act that people are sisters so that the acting looks genuine and real rather than faking it. CHARACTER ONE: Name: Amelia Gilbert Age: 17 DOB: 10/01/00 Gender: Female CHARACTER TWO: Name: Daisy Gilbert Age: 17 DOB: 10/01/00 Gender: Female The characters that they will be playing is as similar to their normal life as possible. That they have a strong sisterly connection and are showing that through the filming techniques that we use. The setting that we are using will help bring out their true characteristics because we want to make out that the beach and house that we are going to film in was a part of the sisters child...

Are you familiar with the term 'setting'? I am familiar with the term setting and in my opinion, it means the place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place. So in our situation, the setting would be in a house near the beach. As that is where we are filming our music video. What settings do you consider 'setting' using in your music video? The time of day: I think we would film throughout the day and watch the daylight turn in to night time. This will help identify that we haven't rushed the filming process. We were also thinking about filming over the course of two days so we experience the early, frosty mornings and get that   effect on camera. We would also would like the filming to take place inside and outside so we can involve natural lighting as well as unnatural lighting.  How will they create a mise-en-scene? Fist of all, what is mis en scene? Mis en scene is the arrangement of the scenery, props, etc, o...
