Research:Costume Ideas




We took inspiration from many bands in the United States of America, away from more popular genres of music and performance art costume choices. Instead, we went for a more casual clothing design, seen in the same type of music genre that our song choice is from.

PLANNING: Location

We plan on having two different locations for our music video since there are two different sections to our music video: The performance and the narrative.

Performance:

For the performance shots, we plan on doing it in a studio since from looking at some other indie rock music videos, the performance is usually done in either a studio or on stage. We have chosen to go to Camden Roundhouse studios as it has a perfect design for the setting and also, it's very easy to get to.








Narrative: 

For the narrative shots, we plan on doing it in a regular house but as the narrative tells a dark and gloomy story, the house is going to be semi lit; with very low lighting but not too much as we still need to let the audience see the protagonist himself. We are going to one of our houses, specifically Michael's house, It has the dark tone and setting for the narrative.

PLANNING: Timeline

Timeline (Group 4 A2 2016/2018)

What will you film and where?

We will be filming a band lip syncing to the song. In the Camden Roundhouse Venue. We will also film a small narrative of a relationship between a man and his psychotic breakdown. This will be filmed at Etienne's house.

Who will you need to film and when?

We are going to get Etienne's friend who is a drummer. He's going to be featured as a member of the band we're filming. We'll need him on the day we start filming. Etienne, Michael and Axl will also be featured as members of the band. For the actors of the narrative, it will be Michael and Axl with Axl as the main character of the narrative and Michael as the character with the horse head. 

What equipment/scenery you will need?

We are going to need a few props such as a horse head mask for one of the characters of the narrative which we will buy on eBay. We will also need white Tic-Tacs which will resemble drugs in the narrative. The musical instruments for the band to play will also be needed. These equipment will be found at the location we're going to for filming.

Who will be filming?

For the shots of the band, there is going to be a rotation of all of us filming but for the narrative, Etienne will be filming.

Who will edit?

All of  us will edit once we have finished filming.

Will you need any permissions?

We will need permission for the song that we are going to use (which we have already gotten). 

How long will you spend filming/editing?

We will spend one week to film the footages for the music video and We will have two weeks to be editing the footage together.
