Filming

After filming the narrative of my video on the 10th, my cast members seemed happy with the way the filming went. I was able to get all of the shots for the classroom scenes but due to poor time management I was unable to film the freedom shots outside as it had gone too dark to film. For health and safety reasons if was not possible to film on the roof so I used an alternative idea to represent the students freedom. The camera being low on battery slowed me down as I had to stop to charge it. I will use this as a learning curve for the future and will shoot these shots at an earlier time making sure the camera has full battery.

Evaluating My Planning

In relation to Andrew Goodwins theory, my video complies with many of his concepts especially the genre's own video style and iconography. As punk videos usually include a band performance I will include this convention in my video. The costume in my video will match the punk genre of the song I use. The video will cut to the beat of the song which is common in most punk videos. Goodwin suggests a relationship between music and visuals. As my video is both narrative based and performance based there will be clear links between the lyrics and visuals. Both the narrative and band performance will illustrate and amplify the lyrics e.g. CCTV cameras to portray the school as a prison.

My video will also include Goodwins theory of intertextual references within the narrative creating nostalgic associations e.g. Sex Pistols lyrics in graffiti; these will generate nostalgic associations. Goodwins theory also suggests that there is a reference to the notion of looking (voyeurism) which I have also intended on doing in my narrative. I will include shots from school fences and school windows to represent the students perspective behind them.

Goodwin also considers the demand of close-up shots of the main artist by the record company. As this is also a convention of rock videos and the genre of my video is punk I will include a number of close-up shots of the lead singer.

Shooting Schedule

Before I started looking for cast members I had to ask Mr Nugent and Mr Hitchinson for permission to use the band practice room and equipment on wednesday 10th November, I have also spoken to Mr Rankin about using a classroom in one of the school buildings. I then created a Facebook event invited members of cast to confirm if they can be there. Any unfinished scenes will be completed on Tuesday 16th November.

Scenes will be filmed in the following order:
1. Classrooom scenes
2. Band performance
3. CCTV and school gate shots.

Props and Locations

Props:

Drums

Guitar

Bass

Football (for freedom shots)

School papers (classroom scene)

Male + female costume: Punk clothing such as checkered shirts, print t-shirts, ties, black jeans and (formal wear for teacher).

I will ask the cast to bring what they have to contribute to their own costume. I will also shop for parts of the uniform in Primark and the bands accesories in Claires and vintage markets to find 70's punk accesories. This will help make sure that I get the mise en scene which I desire for my video on point.

Locations:

The main narrative of the video will be shot in school where I will use a classroom and playground. The performance of the band will be shot in a music practice room as I will also have access to the music equipment. The practice room is small which will help me show entrapment through the band aswell as the students. I may also use back streets of Brick Lane which have grafitti all over the place, this is for the shots of the teenager and his friends having fun.

Target Audience

The targeted audience for my music video will be British male and females from 14-22 year olds, particulary students considering the meaning of the song. This is because punk is more relatable to teenagers and they are more passionate about music so therefore they may be familiar with the genre. I have chosen both male and female because gender isn't necessary in music, it is universal. I would also say that my target audience is mainly working class as punk is more relatable to this audience.

In order to appeal to my audience I will include costume which they are familiar with, a diverse cast and feature a performance as this is a typical convention in the punk genre. I will also match a range of cuts to the beat of the song as they do in many punk rock video's.
