Diary #7

Since my last diary post, I have been working to catch up on all of my research tasks, such as 'history of music videos' and 'researching in to existing record labels. My history of music videos task i set up as a timeline, showing the advancements of music videos. With my planning work, I used the online presentation software Prezi.com to make a presentation of my initial ideas including my narrative, props, characters and setting. I also created an initial moodboard for the mood of my magazine using microsoft powerpoint and images from the internet, I decided to split my moodboard in half, one half representing the male character in my viedo and his feelings of loss, lonliness and depression, it is for that reason that his half features lots of dark and dreary colours. he other half of my moodboard represents the female character in my video and is quite bright to represent how shye is happy with her life and moving on to bigger brighter things.

Diary #6

Yesterday evening, I decided to do some similar product research, and watch a series of different music videos and make notes about the different elements included in them such as the camera angles and camera movement, and all of the different shots that were featured. Whilst looking for videos to watch, I came across a program on the music video channel 'Bliss' about the artist whose song I am using for my music video Ben Howard.
