26/06/17- Today we had to research songs that we wanted to
do our music video on. We wanted to choose a song that was simple but also a
bit challenging. We decided on the music video for Ariana Grande’s song ‘The
Way’.
27/06/17- We decided today that the music video for the song
by Ariana was going to be slightly too challenging for us to film at school,
this was due to their being two lots of filming at one time and we felt that we
didn’t have the proper tools to be able to film and edit this correctly. Therefore,
we chose the song ‘Live Forever’ by Oasis, this is because we felt that this
music video would be a lot easier for us to film and edit within the deadline
that we had been given for this task.
28/06/17- Today we created a list of all of the props that
we need for the music video, this included: axe, shovel, rounded black
sunglasses, all black outfit, chair. We also created screen grabs from the
original music video for the 30 seconds that we are copying.
29/06/17- Today we started to film our music video, we
managed to film the parts of the music video where he was singing in front of
the bush, where he was playing the guitar and also some of the close ups of him
singing.
03/07/17- Today we managed to film the last few bits of our
music video, we filmed the shots with the axe and the shovel in the
surroundings of our school, this was lucky that we found an area which matched
the original video quite well and we didn’t have to travel very far to film it.
We also managed to film the shots of him on the chair and also when the water
is poured over his head. We now need to start editing our music video to finish
it all off.
