Task 4: Treatment Feedback

From the feedback we got from the audience was very helpful. We got told that we had to be conscious of the lighting as we are planning to shot scenes at night time. The reason into why we are shooting at night time is because the colours at night time suit the song and the colour scheme we are going for. We got told that using too many people could be a problem but we were aware of this. We arent having all the actors on the scene at once, we are planning to have them different days.  From the feedback we got, we had to think about whether shooting at night time was a good thing. Abbey had previously in AS used the same location at night time for photos and the lighting was fine, so we feel confident about shooting at nighttime. Our choice of target audience was a little to broad but still do feel the same for it. Possibly making the target audience a little more specific to 13-25. This is because some afrobeats songs are introduced to children from young so putting a specific age wouldn't be as easy.

Treatment

Treatment Ideas 3

Today, we focused on our pitch and what inspired us and also spoke about the locations that we will be using.

'There was a load of music videos that inspired us, one being ‘For Life-Runtown’.

The reason for this was because the music video to this song was exactly how we wanted ours to be in terms of use of camera, mise-en-scene and editing. For example, the camera uses a range of angles and shots. There are mid shots, long shots and extreme close ups. In terms of mise-en-scene, the main artist is the one and only person that wears sunglasses, this signifies he is different to the rest and we found this really important to point out for our own music video. For locations we decided to chose different areas in a house, for the narrative of the music video, isle of dogs at night time, as the lights at night look pretty and the reflection in the river from the lights look really effective, a street at night time with nice lit lights. For the dancers, we were thinking to go to central london bridges and find one that lights up nicely. In terms of editing, we loved how there was fast cutting rates and slow motion and also the edited scenes of just pictures, we found that a really unique way to tell a story of a song.

Another song that inspired us was ‘Fear no one- Kojo Funds’.

The reason for this was because of the choice of colours and editing. This was a real eye-catcher for us as it related to us alot. We liked how the cutting rate was really fast cutting rate.'

Today, me and my partner Abbey took pictures of the areas that we will be using.
1. Film studio

2.Photogrpahy studio (pending)
3. Mac (that we will be using)

We spoke about what we wanted out video to look like and we contacted the artists to confirm things such as locations and timings.

Treatment Ideas

In today's lesson, i concentrated on my ideas and wrote a few down. This was my treatment:

Treatment:

For my music video, I have a number of ideas for the chosen song ‘Rock your body- Burna Boy’. The song is about love but more about a sexual love rather than a sentimental love. I plan to have a performance based/ narrative music video as it goes well with the song.

I have thought about the colours within the song. Which are going to be blue, green red and black. The reason for these colours are because the song is quite soft and these colours are soft as well and mix really well. I have visions of the music video having various locations such as a house, O2 cable cars bridge, isle of dogs and central London. The video will be shot at night time as it goes more with the colour theme that is going on. The lyrical content is romantic and I think that these locations and the time of day will go together well.

The music video will consist of a number of 3 dancers potentially one girl and two boys. A couple that will be used in the narrative part of the video. I want the music video to consist of slow motions scenes of a musical instrument being played in the rain or with water on it. This effect has been done before and looked extremely effective and as afro beats heavily use drums it would make sense to do a clip of drums being used.

The performance will be filmed also at night and will consist of afro beat dancing that goes well with the beat. The choreography of this  will be made by one of the dancers themselves.

One music video that really inspired me was ‘For Life- Runtown’ because the music video is relatable to my ideas. I like how it has a mix of narrative and performance based.
