Music Video Outakes

Whilst making my video I noticed that i had a lot of outakes that were funny so when I had a bit of spare time i decided just to stick them all together into a video. As well as having comedic element, it also gives the viewer an insight into the production of the video

Pub Research

You may remeber that in my draft there is a shot where the lads are walking to the pub. If not here is a print screen of it.



This is one of my shots that I was least pleased with for my draft. These are a few of the problems I have with it.

- Only 3 of the 4 members are present

- The darkness takes abit away from the video quality

- All 3 of the present members have their hoods up which I don't think represents the genre of the band.

So I have decided to attempt to film it again with different circumstances.

Firstly, I need to attempt to use the same pub again but with all the members in daylight!!

This is a picture of the pub that I took during lighter hours where compare to the night the colour and quality appears much better.

If there is not an oppourtunity to get all of the lads from Lutterworth to Thurlaston where the pub is I need to look for an alternative, more convienient, pub. So I looked for one in the local area and on advisement of people in my class I have found one in Lutterworth that would be appropriate. It is called, The Shambles, this is a picture I found on google of the pub

I decided to get a better idea for where it is, so I found it on google maps.

For practical reasons of getting there I found the route from Lutterworth to the pub, luckily it is only 0.6 miles away from college.

Secondly, I need to make sure even though I am perfectly fine with the band members wearing hooded tops that they are not wearing there hoods upin the shots. When I see the hoods I think more of this:

Which isn't generally necessarilly bad but is not the apperance I am going for.

Finally, the last issuee is getting all of the lads there at the same time. Considering I go to college with all of them it is harder then you would think. Some of them have tendencies to miss single days which last week would of been ok but with the deadline being friday there is some risk attached.

Borrowed Tools

This is some of the kit I have borrowed for the filming of my music video:

This is a Sony DCR-SR58 Camcorder. Luckily, it belongs to a friend so I won't have deadlines on borrowing one from college and I can film shots whenever I want. Since I don't know much about technical things I found this list of features on the internet:

60x Zoom Vario-Tessar Lens

I'm not exactly sure what this is but this high quality Carl Zeiss optical system allows you to zoom into really small details with its 60x zoom range.
Steady ShotThis helps to minimise wobble and blurring caused by camera movement. This is good because currently I don't have a tripod.
Face DetectionThe HDR-SR58 will detect faces in your image frame and ensure that they are in focus, well exposed and have natural skin tone.
800k Sensor and VGA moviesThe high resolution 800k pixel CCD sensor ensures sharp video as well as good quality VGA still images.
2.7" Power-on LCDThe DCR-SR58 is equipped with a wide 2.7" touchscreen display that also has the clever function of turning the camera on when opened if desired.

Keyboard

I am fourtune that I have been able to borrow a keyboard from a friend with a musical background. This is important because if you listen to the song (shuffle) you can hear that a piano or keyboard is crucial

Bass Guitar



My brother is in his own band so I have been able to borrow his bass guitar. I do not have all the kit I will need but as far as im aware I will eb able to borrow kit such as drums, microphones and another guitar at stayfree when we are recording
