Update on production blog
We have come up with a new idea of where the school picture scene shall be photographed. To make it seem more realistic we're going to scrap the idea of doing it in a normal room but to do it in front of the green screen and insert a more realistic backdrop. This will keep the verisimilitude.
So we have booked out the media suite for Wednesday the 10th of November and have also organised actors and make-up for that day. Let The Filming Begin!

Excellent! Still need to see the location and casting shots though girls please. Also, decipher and upload your lyrics and discuss whether/how your music video will amplify them.
Don't forget also, to continue blogging during production. I know you have booked the studio, organised your actors etc so make sure you record all this planning on here. You could take turns to type up the minutes of your production meetings and include them on your blog regularly. If you find anything else to inspire you throughout the process then keep adding it to this blog.
Try to organise your photoshoot for the ancillaries so that you can do this at the same time as the video shoots. Think about costume, poses etc and the brand image you are trying to portray. You could even start the research/planning for these ancillaries now whilst you are between jobs.See me for more info and/or checklist.
Keep up the hard work!

The Shame to Hate Boss
Despite initially choosing Spanish band The Shame and their song 'Beautiful Day' for our coursework, after some mediation and executive decisions we have decided to change the track. We will now be using 'So Much' by HateBoss, an Italian band who can also be found on jamendo.com along with The Shame.
The effects of this will be minimal; the genre is almost exactly the same, the tempo and tone of the song is incredibly similar to Beautiful Day, and HateBoss' band image has the same young, modern and playful aspect as The Shame. There is less than a minutes difference in the actual song length so this shouldn't produce an issue either; we'll fill these gaps with generic music video shots from our footage.
The reasons for this change are that we cannot decipher the lyrics of the The Shame's song or find them on the internet, our attempts to contact the band have been fruitless too, we still have no reply from them. The HateBoss provide a good alternative; although this band doesn't have its lyrics anywhere online, they're much easier to work out by ear.

GreenScreen/ ChromaKey
As part of our video, we plan to use greenscreen, in order to understand the process better we had a brief session with a technician to learn how to use it. We were showed how to light the green screen and subject separately and properly; we then uploaded the footage onto Final Cut Express and added our own background to Lydia, as our subject. The image we used was simply uploaded from Google into the software, allowing us to see how the whole process looked after our efforts.
