Group conversation via Whatsapp


via whatsapp



During the weekend we finalised the music track we will be using for our music video, we agreed to use the song from hulkshare.
we used the audio from hulkshare because the ones on youtube have been edited, we will take more footage so that there will be enough for lip synching, if we do not have enough footage we will fade the song.

Story Board: Pre-production


As our treatment was successful I will start part of the pre-production plan using the storyboard.
I will be using this storyboard to illustrate the footages and the camera techniques alongside the narrative as part of the pre-production stage 

I will be able to break down each verse using our drawings and editing techniques notes on the storyboard.

 It saves time if we know what shots and angles are next and what actor or actress is in the video.The team will be able to know what footage goes next after looking at the visuals, it helps us to aim to our common action goals.

Feedback on The Treatment

Evaluation/Audience Feedback

Overall people didn't have much to say on the initial idea of the music video. For the club scene the audience suggested that if the club location does not work out we should consider having the location at a house to make it a house party.

One of the audience wanted to know more about the chase in the narrative of the music video. This shows that when we are filming we have to make sure that the idea of the chase (two males trying to get attention from a female) is evident.

There was an ethical consideration that we didn't think of which was one of our locations. Canary Wharf. We have to make sure that we get permission to film at the location if we still want to film there.
However we decided to have a different location, which is to film at one of the DLR stations such as Prince Regent Station.

Our main action is to make sure that the narrative of our music video is clear.We will implement this by having loads of footage at all the locations we will be filming at.

The focus group was useful partially. There was not a lot of criticism but the audience understood the concept of the treatment. We will be updating our treatment and post the final treatment with the changes from the audience feedback.
