Problems with photoshoot
For the photoshoot that I did on Thursday the 2nd of Decemeber did not go to plan becuase i managed to take all the photos but when I came to view them my XD memory card it was currupt and it said that their was a card error so as a result i was unable to view or do anything with the photo. I was unable to view reshoot with a diffirent camera becuase as was last to shoot I did not have time to reshoot becuase every had to go so was unable to.I could of used Darren and Nicks photos for mine but unfotunatlley the shots thety had were unsuitable for mine as I wanted to have the band memebers holding their equipment used in the video, and nore Darrens or Nicks had the equipement in them. So to solve the proeblem I have decided to reshoot on Thuesday the 7th December, as i have now fixed my memory card.

Digipack templates
This is a Digipakc template that i found which i may use to help me design my digipakc as it shows all the pages you need and the measurements of each which will help me when I have to make the digipack. I think that i will use this design for my digipack as I feel that it would be the best template to use as it has all the nessesary details that i will need. I also feel that I only need four sides as most digipacks hgave four. I think that 6 would make it to complicated and i am aiming to create a simple but effective digipack. For my Digiapack I will find this very helpful becasue I will use the measurments to help when creting the design on Piant Shop Pro
Album front cover ideas
This is anther idea that I like that feel we could use for our album front cover becuase i really like the layout of page becuase it looks eyecatching and i think that I could create something simaliar becuase we could have the four band members in the a rectangle as shown on the image and possiblly have them holding the instrament they used during the video. I really like the colurs used becuase they are attractive and eye catching, the way that they have used diffirent picture angles of the same person, which really looks affective, I think that we could do somehting similar by having all four band members, with lead singer in the middle as a he the focas of the image so he needs to be in the centre.
Album front cover idea
For our front cover i like the idea of having somehting simailar to this as it is very simple but effective in my view, i also like the coloeures used blakc annd white which works really well together. I feel that this also fits in we ll with linkin Park as manay of their ablum covers use black and white for example Minutes to midnight and A thousand sons.
I really like the way this image has been set up because I really feel that it fits in with our music video that we created. The way in which some instruments are used in the image is good which shows us the audience that it is a rock band with the guitar and the drumsticks. I also feel that this easilly done as all we would need wou;d be a photoshoot which I am hoping to do on the Thursday the 2nd of Deceber as it is the best day for every one. If I was to create a similar cover would use all four band members and have similar set up and maybe change the poses they have.

Prop list for our performance side of video
This is a Prezi Presentation which shows the props and equipment that we will need when we film the performance side of the video I have stated the name of each time and also included images for each one which I took myself apart from the drum set image. The reason I choose Prezi is because it is a different way of presenting my work and also the finished product looks great.
Schedule for filming
I have created a schedule for the filming that will take place.
his schedule shows what I am hoping to achieve during the filming procedure of the video I created the schedule on Hot mail and if you click on the information it will take you to the original calender on hot mail however as you can see the boxes see to run over the time but this is due to the boxes needed to be bigger to view all the information but on hot mail it shows how long each task is going to take.
At the top of the post you can see that that you can view the information on daily basis, weekly and monthly so by selecting it will adjust the information accordingly.
The reason that I have created this schedule is because as I am the director I need to have a plan of what needs to be done and by when other wise things would never get done the schedule created above shows the filming schedule, which I have split into two sections the performance and the narrative. The reason for this is that they are located in different locations so having them on separate days means we will not have to rush each one. As the director I have also decided to have a rehearsal so that the actors know exactly what they are doing when we film we do not waste time telling them what to do.
This scheduale that I created did not go to plan because we decided that we were not going to film in the location due to a group decsion against it. The reason for this decsion was becuase, we were not able to get the equipment needed to film, for exampel we could not get the drum kit their and also we had the issue of lighting as the lights turned out when we were filming which ment that we were unabable to see enough on the camera.

lyrics for Linkin Park What Ive Done
What I've Done
- In this farewell
- There’s no blood
- There’s no alibi
- ‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
- From the truth
- Of a thousand lies
- [Pre-Chorus:]
- So let mercy come
- And wash away
- What I’ve done
- [Chorus:]
- I'll face myself
- To cross out what i’ve become
- Erase myself
- And let go of what i’ve done
- Put to rest
- What you thought of me
- While I clean this slate
- With the hands of uncertainty
- [Pre-Chorus]
- [Chorus]
- For what I’ve done
- I start again
- And whatever pain may come
- Today this ends
- I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!
- [Chorus]
- What I’ve done
- Forgiving what I’ve done
These are the lyrics for our chosen song What ive Done by Linkin Park we need to know these so that we can use it to plan our video because we will need to know when the words appear so that we can try and match the video to the lyrics so for example when a specific word is mentioned we wanted to try and relate the shot to the word, so for what ive done we would have a shot of what a person has done.
colour wheel research
Theses are colour wheels that I found form the Goggle because I wanted to see what the different types of colours are so that we could then incorporate the colours into our project having looked at the wheels we have thought that it would more suitable to use a range of primary of and secondary colour because we felt that it would make more sense to both as we were unsure with we thought would be most suitable. The main primary colour that I think we might use the most for our film opening is the blue and yellow because as most of clip is out door we are more licklly to use these tow clour more because red is usually a colour used in indoor so we might use the red for the indoor scene.
The secondary colours that I think we would use the most is the orange and the green because they both fit into the narrative of our music video for example the green would work well because the performance side of the video we are hoping to have in the country with trees and other nature environment, these colours match well because when people think of out doors the main colours they think represent it most is the greens and blues more green if it is the countryside. The orangey colours that they are could be suitable to use becasue as out main colour theme is urban it may fit well however we will have to experiment with it first, to see if it will be suitable.
Urban colour scheme research
The colour scheme that we have tried to incorporate into our music video is mainly urbanely based colour because the basic plot to our film opening has building and other urban based scenery. The colours that we think that associate with urban is mainly the cold and dark colours. I have managed to find some sample that Think is similar colours that I would associate with urban
As well as using urban based colour we were also looking to use some warm colour like green because from the basic plot that we have I fell that we would be able to use a range of colour like the green during the performance side of the video because we are hoping to have it outside with trees in the background.

Risk assessment for Busted Preliminary
As well as having a Prop list we also needed to create a risk assessment for the video, so that we would be aware of the hazards and have measures in place to reduce the likely hood of these hazards happen. To create the best risk assessment we worked together as a group to work out all the potential hazards, the hazards that we came up with are shown in the table below and as you can see for every hazard it shows how we can minimize the risk.
Hazard | How it can be minimized |
Table +chairs falling over | Make sure that all table and chairs are at the side of the room out the way |
Jumping up and down and falling aucadally | Make sure that you do not jump to high and to fast as this is when injure is most likely to occur. |
Dark room | Make sure a light is turned out before so that we inspect the floor and room to see what hazards it has, before we start filming |
Wires lying around | Make sure the wires are tied up and out of the way and in the corner, do not film in areas where cables and wires can not be moved. |
People at the Gates | Make sure that there is somebody at the gate weather it is a student or anther member of staff in school to make sure that nobody gets in the gates when we are filming the out door scene v |
Projector | Do not stair straight into the projector as it may blind or cause eye damage so make sure nobody stairs straight into it at any time |
Chewing gum | Do not chew gum when filming as it may cause an accident such as choking so make sure nobody in the group is chewing |
Barging through people | Do not barge roughly through the people as it may cause injure, the best ways is to make it look aggressive but be gentle, also the people should move slightly as the person approaches them, to reduce the impact. |
Bending down knee | Make sure that when you bend down you do not do it suddenly as this is when injure is most likely to occur, the best ways it do it gradually |
Sensible shoes | Where sensible shoes for the scene because we do not want people to twist their ankle due to the wrong shoes for example for the scene out side you cant wear hi heals because when you jump you are bound to land awkwardly. |
Guitar strap | Make sure the guitar strap is fastened properly so that the guitar does not fall or hit anyone else close by. |
Paper cut | Take care when dealing with paper and try to keep fingers loose and do not grip the paper to tight as this is when cuts are more likely to happen |
Long nails | Make sure that when coming into contact with other people they are not rough with their hands as this is cuts will happen so try to avoid to using your hands if you have long nails, this could be done by getting somebody else to do the scene who does not have long nails. |
Prop list
As part of our preliminary we needed to create a list of props that we needed in order to make the music video, this was important because we needed have the props ready on the day we were going to film. The prop list that we came up with as a class is as follows.
- Black board
- Projector (old school)
- Ties and white shirts
- Guitar x3 for the 3 members of the group

- Chalk

- Girls
- Black bracelet
- Class room
- White trainers with red
- Red nail varnish

The props that I needed to wear for my part in the video was:
- White shirt
- Trousers
- Tie
- White trainers plus normal ones

Weather forcast
This post above is a weather for cast that I found on the internet as you can see it is able to tell me the weather. This will prove to be very useful because it means that when filming we will be able to plan according to what for cast, so for example if we want the weather to be sunny then I can use this to find out which day is foretasted to be sunny this means that time will not be wasted. As you can see the forecast system allows you to see the weather a week in advance which is very useful because most weather forecasts only let you see three days in advance. What I also like about this is that you can select your location so where ever you are planning to film which means you know what the weather will be in filming location.
One of the main reasons I like the this weather forecast is that I like the the way that it is user friendlily because it the way that it has a picture in the background according to what the weather is going to be like. I also like the other features that the system offer which is why i find it very useful and easy to understand.
The main features that the system offer include:
- The temperature in degrees Celsius ( This is helpful because it means when filming we will be able to plan ahead and where the appropriate clothing and also make any adjustments to our filming)
- Pressure (This will be helpful because it again means that we will be able to plan ahead and make any adjustments to the planning process)
- Humidity (This will be very important because during filming we will need to monitor this because we do not want to work in high humidity conditions as it can become dangerous and also if we do we then need to make sure that we have enough liquid to avoid dehydration)
- The temperature ( This is very useful as well because it means that we can plan ahead and make sure that we have the right clothing because even the actual temperature might not be what it feels like so we need to access this as well to get the best possible data we can)
- When it was last observed ( This very important because it shows that the data is constantly being updated which means that we are able to get more accurate results. As a result this means that we a are getting the beat data, out of all the features i feel that this is the best one because it shows changes in the weather, which then means our planning more accurate)
