Work Update 29.11.10

At the moment we are trying to complete our animatic, its almost there, but the editing and cutting is so much harder than first expected! We have all the images ready to upload for our storyboard. Then once we've done all that, we will be ready to commence filming.

New Ideas for Video.

The general outline is that we'll be cutting from the performance of the piano, to random and abstract images. We have also decided our video will be following a rough narrative, the story of a guy who is heartboken and needs to move on, but cant let the girl go. This means our video will now consist of three sections; The narrative, piano playing, and Abstract shots. These three sections will intercut with each other.
Here are a few of our initial ideas for shots and filming:

• Shot of missed calls from him, on girls mobile.
• Location idea- sea front at night time, lights, the sea washing in and out, promanade.
• Shot out of window of the landscape at night, streetlights, town lit up, establishing.
• Ideas for types of shots for piano- side, revolve around, from high above, music sheets, just fingers or hands, shots of singer.
• Slow motion- walking down stairs.
• Shot of a door shutting as if she's left him.
• Water tap dropping (tears)
• Board with dice rolling (reference to games)

General Overview of Ideas so far.

Existing Album Covers

These album covers are by artists that are similar in many respects to ours, these include: their genre, their style of deliverance, their image, and marketing. We could draw from these when producing our artist promo pack, which includes: an album cover, magazine advert and interior album artwork.

Target Audience

This video shows the archetypal image of the target audience of our product and the artist involved. However, this is a generalisation and not all of his fans may be this extreme. His music may also appeal to a more universal audience, such as us. We expect that our product may be aimed towards 14-24 year olds, but again, this is a sweeping statement, so could also appeal to older or younger audiences.
