Filming Evaluation - Day 3 (Music room)

For the third day of filming our evaluation we covered the question "How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?". We answered this by showcasing the technology used throughout filming the music video such as all the cameras, tripods and the gimble. We put together everything showing how it works but we didn't use any dialogue for it as it will be applied through a voice-over which will be done once we start editing. Again due to constraint on rooms we could only use another music room instead of the Phoenix theatre. Now that this is done we only have one more to go.

Audience Theory - Jeremy Tunstall

In class today we learnt about audience in the general media and we came across the audience theory created by Jeremy Tunstall.  His theory is the idea that all texts have preferred audiences as well as additional audiences which can be engaged. Here are some of the classes  of audience: Primary audience        Watching films in a cinema involves a primary mode of audience engagement as the spectator is immersed with the narrative.  So for your primary, target audience they will have bought the song/downloaded it and will consume your text in this way.

Your secondary audience may be interested, but they haven’t bought the single. Tertiary audience        Tertiary audience engagement is using the text as background media like ...

Music Video - Fourth day shooting

Image
On the fourth day of filming we went to my schools music department and shot in just one room in  which had all the technical equipment that we wanted to use and play with. This was a new scene we wanted to film so wasn't in our original storyboards. We wanted to use this room for a scene where Niah's supposed boyfriend in the video is making her the song. Niah wasn't needed in the scene, we just used one member of our team to act. We mainly focus on his hands fiddling with the dashboard other devices around the room. The difficulty was mainly in some of the movement in the shots as the gimble wasn't available so we use a shoulder mount instead using the cameras handheld. So scenes such as the boyfriend walking into the music room was hard as we wanted to follow behind him whilst doing it. Since it was a bit dark we also used some lighting from around the room and one of our hand held lights to cover the scene. Other than that it was mainly still shots of bli...
