Update 30/10/2016

So I have had a chat with the band, and the idea for using the other song for the same idea wasn't working with the idea we wanted. We have all now said that 'Pieces' will be the music video for our promotion of the EP. It makes sense to use this song as the title of the EP is called 'Pieces' named after the song.

This means that I will have to adjust the the story board so that it fits in well with the structure of the new song, the order of shots will be the same pretty much, but I will have to adjust the length of shots so they fit in with the beat. And plus it has been properly recorded and mixed so that it is all ready.

Animatic: The Jam (Without Audio)



Reflective Comment
Unfortunately I couldn't use the audio from song, 1 being that it hasn't be properly recorded yet or mixed. And 2 being that we can't release the song on anything, until it has been released as a single. So what I'm going to do is show the animatic synchronised with the music and the structure of the song, but without the audio. Then when the song is release I will upload this again but the audio as well.

Character Profile (Female)



Reflective Comment
This is my second character, she causes the most conflict during narrative, and drives the story along. making this character profile made me know exactly what I wan the female character to look like.

Reflective Comment
This is going to be my main character, he is going to be on the receiving end of his girlfriend's mistakes. He has been betrayed buy his girlfriend. And this post has helped know how this character will act / move around from this problem that he has to get through.

Update 11/10/2016

I am currently working on the animatic for the music video. However I have spoken with the band and they said they don't want me to use the audio, as it is going to be an actual single that is going to be released, also we haven't properly recorded it yet, we are going to record it late this month, and then it will take about a month to be mixed properly, so it should be finished around December/January.
What I'm going to do is release the animatic without the audio first so I will be able to see this how long the clips will be structured and how long they will be and make sure everything falls in line with the audio. Once the song is released I will show the animatic with the audio alongside the picture.

Reflective Comment
I think this is the only way I can fix this problem, as I want to make this product official and have actual links to an actual single / EP release. As for the animatic, it will be uploaded soon, it just taking a little bit of time to perfect as I want it took professional and I just need to draw the narrative shots and then produce the video.

Order Of Shots



Reflective Comment
Before creating a storyboard / animatic, I wanted to make sure I have each shot in the right order, focusing on a certain part in the music video (Band member / Part of the story).

Textual Analysis: One For The Road - Arctic Monkeys




Reflective Comment
This music video has influenced me in terms of music video style, like using black and white filters over the top of the footage, and I think that this music video has got the exact same look as what I want our music video to look like.

Textual Analysis: I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance



Reflective Comment
This music video has influenced me greatly, especially in the performing side of the music video. I taught me about the different shots I should use, and how they narrative should be balanced.
