Using the green screen

As part of my media project I have decided to use the green screen to be able to use a smoke effect during the lyrics 'as the smoke clears, I awaken...' I have decided to use the green screen to create a background that will fit with the smoke effect. I am thinking about using a black background to represent authority as well as the performer wearing black to also represent authority. 




This image shows all the spot lights I had to use to eliminate shadows within the shot as well as keeping the performer well lit and facial expressions to be more noticeable.

 This image shows the camera positioned away from the green screen. I had to move the camera several times to create a long shot which I intended. Also the camera had to be moved several times during filming so that the performers head was at the top of the frame.

This image shows my performer getting into place on the green screen background. I had the performer stood in this corner so that she could walk toward from a long shot into a mid shot. The performer did very well when filming to create the right amount of emotion behind the song as well as moving towards the camera a lot to create more of a feeling that she was connecting with the audience more.





I enjoyed using the green screen as it helped me to gain more knowledge of the possible resources I can use to create my music video.I intend to use the green screen during my final shooting of the music video.

Audience profile

Photos I took for my audience profile:

I decided not to use this long shot as I wanted to be able to see my audience members face, however I took the shot to show her clothing as a part of my audience profile is the way my audience dress and therefore this reflects that. 

I used this picture as it shows the audience members clothing as well as her face which I wanted to be able to see. I also like this picture as it reflects the 'friendly' persona that my audience member is. 

From my questionairres I gathered that my audience member is into fashion but likes fashion at a bargain. 

I also gathered that my audience member is friendly, outgoing and funny. 

My audience member has a specific  taste for the pop genre and enjoys lots of music from pop bands like One Direction, The Wanted etc. and pop artists like Justin Bieber.

My audience member likes to download music but won't pay more then a pound for an album download. When asked what music sites they downloaded their music of the majority of them said that they used iTunes as a means to download. 

My audience member responded to watching music through YouTube because if they like the song there's a link to iTunes at the bottom of the descriptions page and they liked having the option of doing this. They also said that music videos were easy to find through YouTube and they liked the bar which gave them the option to select from popular videos and other categories. 

My audience member said they preferred Twitter as a social networking site rather then Facebook. They said Twitter gives them the option to follow celebrities for all the latest news on gigs, tours or new music. They also said it was easier to connect with other fans for information on their favourite band or artist.

Saftey control assesment



I have produced a saftey assesment table to highlight some of the potential injuries that could be caused on days of filming (on location). Environmenal hazrds will be a potential hazard on location in the forest for the natural shots.

 

All risks are all proventable but the saftey measures need to be followed to aviod any injuries or risk of injuries on location. All members of crew will be informed on precautions to take before shooting and saftey meetings will be held at the beginning, middle and end of everyday. All injuries will be recoreded and will be handled to insure the same injury doesn't occur again.

 

If an injury is to occur then other, more strict, saftey measures will be put into place.

The biggest potential issue is the bonfire scene were flammable materials will be kept far away from the barrell of fire. I have thought about  other options but to give the best results I have chosen to stick with my original idea.

Analysis of lyrics

The lyrics to SkyScraper:

Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
[Bridge]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper, Ohhh woaah
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Audience questionnaire

I have decided to use a paper questionnaire as I believe this is a more reliable way then using a questionnaire via my blog. In this questionnaire I hope to learn more about my target audience. I am going to ask 25 people and hopefully come up with some more specific information about my target audience. I have produced this questionnaire using publisher.
