Production Log

I shoot some photo’s which will be added to a scrap book that will be used by the geek character in our music video. I wanted to make it seem as if the the geek is stalking the popular girl so we took the photo’s as if I was hiding whilst taking them. The scrap book is a easy way of showing how obsessed the geek is with the popular girl.

These are some example of the photo's taken:

Decided performers for the music video

Jordan: We choose Jordan to be the lead singer in the band because the song reflects the style of work produced by bands such as The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, and Kaiser Chief. We believed that Jordan conformed to the typical conventions of a pop artist as he reflects the members in these bands in terms of looks. He also has past experience of acting which is beneficial as he would make his characters appear more believable.

Ankit: we choose Ankit to be one of the musicians in the band because he has experience in being in a band therefore he felt that he would be more comfortable with the instruments.

Matthew: We also choose Mathew to be part of the band because he is also a musician and would therefore look more professional when playing the instruments. His appearance, like Jordan, fits the the typical conventions of a pop artist.

Najim: we choose Najim to play the ‘geek’ character because we wanted this character to be funny, we believed that Najim could bring this quality forward when shooting because he is known for his humour.

Anita: we choose Anita to play the main part as the ‘popular girl’ as her appearance could make the role more believable. We also choose her because of her excellent availability and flamboyant personality making it easier for us to shoot with her.

Derek: we choose to play ‘the boyfriend’ because he is tall athletically built and attractive which are the typical conventions of the ‘jock’ like character which is what we wanted to portray.

Chosen Song - 'Tonight I Let You Go'

My group and I have chosen to go for a pop song for our media production. We have decided to go with this particular song because the lyrics are vague therefore we could compose many narratives to go along side them. Yet the lyrics still talk about emotions and situations to which many people can relate. We aim to conform to the typical conventions of pop music videos whilst still having some elements of other genres.

Information on The Colours

The Colours are a band from Reading made up by Tom Pickford, Tom Newman and Tony Folland. They have toured the UK to promote their debut single ‘Tonight I Let You Go’. They also promote themselves through Myspace where they have attracted 4567 ‘friends’ and the single ‘tonight I let you go’ has got 1,550 plays.  

It is said that: “The single, ‘Tonight I Let You Go’ is a song about the trials of the heart in the formative years; the movement from one relationship to the other. But this isn’t a soppy love story; far from it. Planting a brave face on the inner discomfort exposed within the lyrics, this upbeat number puts a lighter spin on darker issues; and it’s a paradigm that becomes all the more apparent when you meet the band members themselves. Even in casual conversation a sense of youthful theatrics buoyed with an almost innocent optimism prevails to the forefront. It’s certainly an infectious combination, but perhaps uncertain whether this bravado is a natural virtue or concealing more fragile tendencies. Analysis of the lyrics gives more insight into this realm, and it is from here that they have an outlet to let hidden emotions run wild and free”
