Ideas

In our music video we are planning on using an evil clown mask as it will emphasise the fact that the video will have a 'crazy' feel to it. We got this idea from various things but the biggest influence was the music video for The arctic Monkeys' 'Fluorescent Adolescent' (below) which has many clown masks in it. We thought that this was effective and stands out from other music videos.




Another video which was also very popular and starred clown masks was that of the Holloways for their video 'Generator'. This video also caught people's attention and became very popular during summer 2007.

Hi guys. Still need to see more from you Ruby. Also need you to post some of your planning. You could upload the experiments you've been doing with the camera and final cut to show your planning process. Get your storyboards, locaions shots, props/costume, film schedules up here to show your progress. You should now only be blogging outside of lesson time and you should be filming this week so that I can advise you of what to work on over Xmas. Don't rely on cpaturing all your footage over Xmas in one shoot, you'll probabaly need at least 3! See me to discuss.

The Prodigy Confirmation

Since we decided to use 'The Prodigy' as our band I had to send them an email for their consent otherwise we wouldn't be allowed to use them due to various copyright reasons. Below is a copy of the email i sent as well as the record label 'cooking vinyl's' consent.

we are going to do editing like this video when Tony Gordon is all distorted because it will suit the theme of song and the video
