Filming Taken in December

This is the filming I took today, I think there's a lot of useful footage in there, however there is also a chance to go out and get more footage. I really appreciate my artist for performing so well in such cold condition as it was freezing outside and I made her wear tights, a skirt and leotard.

Change of Ideas

Since we have been unable to film on location (Bridlington) for the last two weeks and with the weather getting colder, I believe it's unlikely that we will get to Bridlington to film again and it would be irresponsible to make the cast going into the weather at sub zero temperatures. For this reason I have changed my storyboard and location to a forest/wood as this can also connote being lost and since the trees no longer have leaves it will effective as it will convey the message of feeling bare and lonely. Which is one of the messages I aim to get across in my music video as it's how the artists feels because she's lost her partner so it's as if a part of her is missing.

Organizing filming

This is the arrangements I made for filming tomorrow. I'm going to film Shannon tomorrow as Niall is unavailable and explained what she needs to bring college and at what time to meet me and where. 

Post Modern Media and Pop

Postmodernism : a late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories.

Postmodernism does not have a concrete meaning because we're still living in this period however it has features that we associate it with it such as:

- Parodies

- Pastiches

- Simulacrum 

- Intertexuality 

- Hyper reality. 

- eclectic borrowing

Post modernism suggest that we can no longer create anything new and everything that is created now, has been done in the past. An example of this is One Directions "What Makes You Beautiful" the beginning instrumental is the simulacrum of "Grease" "Summer Nights" however One Direction's is done with an electric guitar and other instruments. - You can listen to it below. 

The mise en scene is also set on the beach which relates to the comment made by Doody "Hey I wanna hear what Danny did at the beach", subsequently the beginning of the film is set at the beach with Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Sandy (Olivia Newton John) this relates to the ideology we have as teens of "Summer loving" or a Summer fling. A boy and girl meet during the holidays, at the beach, fall in love. Because this is portrayed through the media is blurs the lines between what is real and fiction (hyper reality) and we believe this will happen to us. 

Mcfly's "Love Is On The Radio, is also Post Modern and parodies Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus's music video of Wrecking Ball, Pink's - Try and many otheres. It also uses emoticons(digital media). and makes is accessible to a wide audience using sign language which is blending different medias. It  breaks the fourth wall, by addressing the fact that camera is there - Dougie wipes the screen. 

Aftermath of yesterdays weather.

These videos show the tidal surges that occured yesterday causing mass flooding in the humber area. This shows the severity of the weather and why we were unable to film, especially in the water, due to strong tides/winds.

5/12/2013

Due to the weather in Bridlington/Hull (East Riding/Humber Area) I am unable to film. Strongs winds have been battering the coastal area and we would be putting ourselves at risk to film as we could be swept to sea. Moreover the winds will make it hard for the talent to perform due to to hair/clothing getting in the way.

Prop List

They only props my artist needs in her ballet shoes, since it's mainly performance I don't plan to have any other props
