Photos Of The Band

These are 2 of the same photo, however I put a filter over both of them to see what different look I would get. This is taken from a screenshot of a video from a camera I set up to record our band playing at the waterfront. I just wanted to work out possible compositions of the band, which I could use in my music video, I want our positions on stage to match the order in the shots taken by the band. Cam (Drummer) Will be in a different place, he will probably be on the left or right. I also wanted to experiment o the filters I could use, I think the black and white theme look quite nice, as I think it suits the look, of most bands in the same genre as us.

I will use this in my Digipak on one of the panels as I think it will give a more realistic look. And I think it would look nice with photos including the band, as we are promoting ourselves and we want to show ourselves of as a band. 

Camera I Will Be Using

Canon 700D
I have contacted my cousin, as she is a photographer, if she knows any good cameras I could use for my music video. In the end she offer her camera, which is brilliant, as the photos I've seen her take are brilliant quality and would be great for recording the shots.

I will be using this to film during the christmas break, we have got 3 weeks off. So I should be able to get a good bit of filming, I want to get the filming done as quickly as possible, so it would leave me a lot of time to edit, as that is what I am going to struggle with the most.

I am very happy that my cousin lent me her camera, as I have seen videos she has taken before, and they are really good quality. She's got a break from University, so she is letting me borrow it then, as that would work better for her and me. So I need to get the filming done then, but 3 weeks should be enough to record, we Just need to put a lot of time into it.

Actor For Male Character In Narrative

Harry Colgan

 

This is Harry Colgan. He will be the male character in out narrative part of the music video. I thought he would be good for the role, as he likes our type of music, he dresses like how we want the character to look, and he is a really good actor. Harry will be ideal for the role, he won't have to say anything, he will just have to show emotions.

I have been talking to Harry about this role and he is really up for it, and is really happy to help out. Harry was and obvious choice for me, as he is one of my closest friends and is a really good actor.

Gender Stereotypes

Reflective Comment
This post has helped me find out about the different gender stereotypes for both males and females. I now know about how my characters break conventions of genders.
