Coursework: Preliminary exercise

 


1) State the song you have chosen for your preliminary exercise.

Waterloo sunset 

2) Choose at least three music videos similar to your concept and watch a clip or more from each. Make bullet-point notes on everything you watch, commenting on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene.

- Location
- clothing 

- similar shots 
- Overall ideas as that is the original 

- low key lighting 
- i'll film inside of a vehicle 

3) Write a short music video treatment for your extract (this is basically a script for your TikTok music video). You can find an example of a treatment here. If you are making your real coursework then feel free to use the treatment from your summer project.

 at the start there will be shots of a guitar and shots of my travel to waterloo station , ill then have shots of waterloo station and shots of landmarks of waterloo. the on screen video will match the lyrics that will appear on screen. The video will be about the artist in various parts of London symbolising his global appeal as London is a very rich famous and recognisable area. it will cut between shots of myself as the performer and the videos of london. 

4) Write a shot list containing EVERY shot you plan to film AND additional shots to create flexibility when editing (in a music video you will find you need FAR more shots than you think, particularly close-ups). These additional shots can be close-ups, alternative angles or something more creative. I advise using a simple table on Microsoft Word/Google Docs to set out your shot list - you can find an example here (this is from narrative film making but the same format can be used for any video project). 
shot 1 - close up of guitar in location 1 
shot 2 - close up of guitar in location 2 
shot 3 - wide shot of waterloo station 
shot 4 - medium shot of me performing
shot 5 - video of the Thames
shot 6 - shot of the bfi
shot 6 -  medium shot of me performing
shot 7 - shot in waterloo (3)
shot 8 - shot of waterloo (4)
shot 9 - shot of me performing 
shot 10 - POV shot of inside a London bus 
shot 11 - wide shot of big ben 
shot 12 - wide shot of London eye 
shot 13 - shot of me performing 
shot 14 - long shot of Battersea power station
shot 15 - closing shot of waterloo station


5) Plan your mise-en-scene: what iconography are you including to ensure your audience understands the genre and style of your artist? Plan your settings, costume, make-up, props and lighting. 

Setting - waterloo , central london
costume - average clothes i usually wear , similar to the genre i am using 
make up - none 
props - instruments, glasses
lighting - high key during the day and low key during the night 



6) Plan a shooting schedule that will ensure everything is filmed by the deadline. Include when, where, who is required, planned equipment and any other aspects you need to arrange




when  - start - 20/09/26
             end - 31/09/26

where - Waterloo and central London

who - Me and one more person to act as a cameraperson

equipment - phone and a zip card

sound feedback

  1) Type up your feedback from your teacher. the images were very good , The timing was very good , Good choice of music to accurately portray parallel and contrapuntal sound 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback. the music clearly showed parallel and contrapuntal sounds , the photos were wide ranged but were still relevant  3) Now  reflect  on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback. WWW: i thought the video had a clear contrast of parallel and contrapuntal sounds and a wide range of photos to clearly show the contrast EBI: I couldve used my own clips  4) L earner response: compare your own video against your evaluation of the  top three videos in the class . Whose did you think was best and why? How could you have improved your own video...

sound analysis task

  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Parallel and contrapuntal sound Sound bridges Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music Dialogue Voiceover Sound effects You also need to  highlight  or put in  bold  any use of media language. Sound Bridge - The Matrix diegetic   sound that the characters can hear for example the dialogue between NEO and Trinity also the music in the background is an example of diegetic sound  non diegetic   when the alarm clock goes off in scene one both protagonists   are unable to hear the sound  sound bridge   we first hear the alarm clock go off in scene 1 and it joins the two scenes together as in reality it was the start of scene two parallel   they seem to be in a club or party so t...
