A2 Coursework: Code of Dress in my Music Video

This is the style that I want the characters in my music video to have:

Protagonist Code of Dress:
-Simple and casual.
-Bright blue goes with upbeat theme.
-Watch as accessory as he is constantly impatient.


Lead Female Code of Dress:
-Bright red represents love as song is about love.
-Female target audience can relate as the female protagonist has and unconventional style.
-Mixes formal with casual (part of unconventional style)
-Wears bold make up e.g bold eye liner.

A2 Coursework: Risk Assessment


I have created a rick assessment in order to show the potential risk and danger that could have affected my filming and how I avoided them.

 Location:
 Possible risks to health and safety of you and the equipment:
 How I avoided issues: 
 Visual Evidence:
 Park/Open Space.
 - Muddy/slippery surfaces

-Holes in the grassy areas.





-There were holes in the grass that made the tripod unstable.
So I made sure I stayed on the path and that the equipment wasn't in the muddy areas as it was hard to have a stable tripod in the grass as it wasn't levelled.








 Park/Open Space
  - Branches




- Slippery mud 
 -I had to move branches that where in the way and made sure that I didn't stand in the mud when I was filming as it was very slippery and messy and could have caused potential physical harm is anyone was to slip. 


 Train 
 - Litter on the floor became obstructions and tripping hazards  


-The gap between the train and platform


-Stairs 
- Moved all the litter on the carriage floor and disposed of them appropriately this created less tripping hazards. 

- Very careful when moving on and off the train so we wouldn't hurt ourselves or damage the equipment.

- We're carful when moving equipment down and up the stairs.

A2 Coursework: Recce Shots



I have used various locations for my music video so that I have a range of shots that would fit the narrative that is within my music video.



For the first scenes video I use a location that was centred around nature as most of my video would be filmed outside. I felt that this location would be best as I needed a lot of open space that wouldn't have any obstructions that would draw attention away from the performance of my artist  e.g Bins, Signs and litter. I also felt that using an open space would be easier to film in as not many people where in the location.




 The second location is very similar to the first as it is filmed in open space. This the location used when the protagonist tries to approach a girl but then get's rejected. It was very easy to film here as not many people were around and there was enough space to put my filming equipment such as my tripod.


 My next location was on London underground. In this scene the protagonist attempts to get another girl (who is sitting opposite him) to be interested in him, however this does not happen as she moves away from him. My protagonist also lip sync s on the train as I film. I also used the stairs at the train station.



 I used this location as the back drop for my artist's performance. I felt that the bright green of the bushes was a nice background for my to perform against, the location also got every good sunlight making it bright which is one of the themes I wanted to use within my music video  as the brightness also follows the upbeat nature of my music video.


This is the location I used when my protagonist open the fortune cookie. It was in nice open space that didn't that any distraction meaning my audience will be able to focus on the protagonist.

 The last location I used was a small field with benches. The was a very important location as it is where my protagonist finds the girl who is interested in him. This location got a lot of sunlight which was good as the audience is able to see the  characters clearly.
