Brief

Brief

With their ninth year around the corner the Somerset Business Awards have asked Bridgewater to film 42 videos in 14 categories to promote the companies which are up for the awards to find out why they believe they deserve the awards which will be shown on the night of the awards.

We have been told to be as creative as possible and try and make the interviews sweet, shot and let the people try and shine through the words they say. A mix of long shots and media shots will be shown to show the company to the best we can.

As we are working with clients we have to be professional with them, making sure that they questions are sent to them, making sure you are nice and polite and try and create the best video you can.  Time, date and location need to be organized in advise, making sure they are okay wit you filming them as well as their work building. You also need to check all the equipment before going out filming, checking that is all works and that it is all okay. While filming you must ensure that you maintain a high standard attitude and not to be immature. Also, when writing out the questions and before asking them it is vital that you have done a background check on the company and make sure the questions reflect the award. You also must speak clearly when asking the questions. Having knowledge of the company and therefore its site will allow us to arrange appropriate transport, equipment (risk assessments), and crew. This also includes a set of relevant pre-discussed questions and also if you sound like you know a little bit of the company they will feel a lot more relaxed when talking to you.

With this project there are strict deadlines, the short list is too be said on the 19th September and the moment we have the questions it is important that you begin to look up the companies and starting planning the dates, the questions and everything else you need to make the best vide you can. All the films should have a first raft by October 7th and you need to wait for feedback and any you have means you have to re-edit and get it completed by October 17. On October 24, is when the SBA’s take place and Bridgwater College will also film the event.

Task Two

Every corporate video has certain aspects which need to happen, style, content and form are what draw attention to the video and decided weather it is a good video or a bad video.

In co-operative videos they all have similar conventions and styles which are used to either inform us about products or to promote their brand name. if it is to inform us about a product the pace of the video will not be fast and will be slow enough to see the product rather well. Long and medium shots are mostly used in these types of videos. There is a minimum amount of items in the background, if something is there it’s normally the brand name, this is to create a spacious environment.

What I found out with the content in the cooperative videos that a mixture or a combination of interviews, illustrations, voice overs, with lively, happy and upbeat music being used. All these aspects are used so that the audiences know a little more about what the companies do and what they will receive.

The way the videos are made has to draw viewers and inform about the companies, it will have to be different if they want people to remember, some video’s use songs so that they stay in your mind a little bit more.

For example this video is to sell a website, and it uses the mix of long shots and medium shot as well as using music. The main convention in the video is the use of the song, this it to sell the product and is to make it hard for you to forget it and therefore you are more likely going to check out the product which is sold. Instead of using interviews to get what they are selling across, the lyrics of the song tell you everything you need to know. The music is catchy and although most people hate the song it’s not something that will leave their mind any time soon.

Promoting programs and music videos are done in a very different way. Music videos lately are often promoted through social media. Also you also have much music TV shows will tempt fan with little clips of the music videos. There’s also the fact that many singers also release behind the scenes of the music videos to bring even more attention to the music videos. Promoting TV shows is normally done through TV and they will take clips of the show and they will be spread across TV shows. But if it is an important spots match they have another way of doing, it and the style will be fast, with fast cuts for example boxing.

This video is for boxing and it is edited very fast and had intense scenes it also shows highlights of the fights, it also shows little interviews but it is all to promote more fights and get people to pay even more attention to this.

The SBA’s is an opportunity to work with companies and to learn how to deal with people and film something professional. You get a better understanding in questions, phoning and becoming a lot more confident for anyone and are the best you can be. This is the opportunity where you can learn something new, and that aspect of working to a brief means you have certain things you need to show. The point of the brief is to make a corporate to promote the company, show what the award means to them, show the company working and trying to make it look the best you can.

Storm Of Your Wake - Schedule & Risk Assessment 

[ijustrealised]

Storm Of Your Wake (Lyrics)

Sweetest poison, blisters tongue

Sediment falls, I am done

Excel to bring you life

And those thoughts never survive

Raise the wire the cage is my restraint

Porcelain hearts break with now

Violence moves my lips

Insults become just sound

Just empty sounds

Just empty sounds

Words are bleeding me again

Falling through my hands

Take what’s left of me now

I’ve done all that I can

Voices pushing me again

And I try to make a stand

Break what’s left of me now

I’m a shadow of a man

Darkness pushes into your chest

Your love can defend yourself

Pulsing hate from your very core

Blacken! You forget yourself

Blood tides deep in blood

Severed cut, cuts so quick

Your shadow weighs a ton

Crushed for one last kick

One last kick

One last kick

Words are bleeding me again

Falling through my hands

Take what’s left of me now

I’ve done all that I can

Voices pushing me again

And I try to make a stand

Break what’s left of me now

I’m a shadow of a man

Words are bleeding me again

Take what’s left of me now

Voices pushing me again

Break what’s left of me now

I’m a shadow, I’m a shadow, I’m a shadow

Shadow of a man

MEET ME AT THE PUB from Venice Beach, California, formed in 1999. Jeremy, Sully and Jack started playing their first shows at the Malibu Inn every Monday night, soon building a rapid local fan base with the local surfers and skaters. Their early shows helped the band find their true Southern California style combining' melodic vocals, thumpin bass lines and thick beats. The band plays Reggae, Rock, Ska, Punk and even the odd waltz. Fans enjoy the spontaneous freestyles that keep the shows fresh and live every night. Early shows were full of energy fueled by beer, Tequila and some of the finest ganja. The fans would throw bar stools; Jeremy would do back flips, the bar tender would hang from the rafters and by the end of the night drums were smashed and lives were changed. THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL THING! Their songs have energy and the vocals are satirical but real. MEET ME AT THE PUB have played over 1,500 shows in the past 10 years that they have been a band and have gained a solid following. Through the power of the internet and touring over seas the fans have been spreading the word of the PUB! In 2003 the band released their first major album "Monday Night" and with help from SurfRock Int. the band released their first Japan Imort in 2006 and a new release for Japan in 2009, The band have also toured all over the US, the UK and will be heading to Japan for a tour in Sep 2009. The band will be releasing their third album "Tall Can Wednesday" in July 2009 produced by Lewis Richards who has worked with Slightly Stoopid, The Dirty Heads, Sublime with Rome and the band will be touring the new album in the fall and heading back to the UK in 2010. They have shared the stage with Fishbone, Bad Manners, EEK a Mouse, LB Shortbus, Weapon Of Choice, The Dirty Heads, Morgan Heritage, Half Pint, The Untouchables, Rebelution, Iration, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, B foundation, Horny Toad, Voodoo Glowskulls, Common Sence and too many others to name.

Styles, Conventions & Techniques

Styles

In Concert and As Live footage: Where you record and film the band playing or pretending to play live, then edit it to the pre-recorded song.

Animation: Use of art, including digital, as a moving image within a music video (e.g. cartoon, human animation. etc.). White Stripes – Fell In Love With A Girl

Interpretive: Extending the meaning and theme of the song, reflecting the lyrics. Coldplay – The Scientist

Narrative: A video telling a story, adding meaning to the song.  Britney Spears - Everytime

Impressionist: Where it continues to develop the meaning by following the emotion of the song. Daft Punk – Around The World

Surreal: An element of surprise and unexpected juxtapositions are used to explain the hidden meaning within the song, usually imagery. XTM Presents Annia – Fly On The Wings Of Love

To help us with our script, we filmed ourselves improvising the scenes to help us with some of the comedy. Prepare for 12 minutes of pain and 11 minutes of chuckles.

Here is our multi camera production “Deadline”

[emilygracemedia]

I created the titles using both Final Cut Pro and Motion, which features a series of tracking, establishing shots of the practically empty, boring media corridor, symbolising that the story was set in an college where nothing happens and the audience understand that the media course for the students in the story aren’t really in the overall college’s main focus of accomplishments. Whilst the ending shot of the corridor is the turn to the messy TV studio, the boom mic coming into shot with the camera panning to the floor. This infers the students aren’t exceptionally bright and creative with their work, making the audience to believe what shenanigans the trio will bring to the screen. Overall, I feel I did well, though if I did this again, I would change the the camera to a 16:9 hd format so it would be in better quality.

Notes

[ijustrealised]

1st February 2013

We shot our production on the first and face a few problems. First some of our actors couldn’t come until well into an hour of our time slot. Saying that once we began shooting a lot of the production went alright. I was working on a camera and I face a little problem due to the fact I was a little short and at time I couldn’t quite see the screen the whole time. Saying that we manage to get two go through which worked out really well.

31st January 2013

I help with another groups production, helping set up the lights and checking if the sound work and although I wasn’t needed for the actual shooting, I tried my best to help in any way I could.

28th January 2013

Emily and I filmed, edited and put on the words for the titles, and then we fitted Morgan’s music on top. Francis is going to write up the assessment and planning of the risk assessment. The production titles were made by Reece with a little help from Morgan.

[ijustrealised]

25th January 2013

Morgan made 17 seconds of music for the tiles and Emily began piecing the clips for the titles together. I made a pre-production cover. While the script was checked again by Reece, Morgan and Emily. The production titles were worked on containing a little raptor pulling the words along. Reece & Francis worked on the cast, we sorted out Francis, and asked Alan, Dan and Harry.
