production plan

Before we start filming we will need to verify some things and also finalise them.



- We need to add our photos of our location that we are shooting at

- We need to make sure we have our costumes for shooting

- Photos of our cast and what their role is within the video

- Check the weather for the dates we will be filming

- Get to grips with how we are editing

journal week 4

We are finishing off our story board, and now started to think about filming our video. We have chosen our locations and should be set to start filming within the next 2 to 3 weeks. We have also taken our photos for Reccee and our posting them on our blogs. Shaun posted our cast list on his blog so we know who is definitely going to be in our video. I have posted our production plan so everybody knows what we need to finalise before filming.

video analysis














In the music videos we see that all of the boybands have a dance routine we intend to have to keep the same style, also they each have a certain persona, a role for example in "It Only Takes A Minute" they have Robbie and Gary singing upfront while Jason, Mark and Howard. This would suggest that these two are the main focus of the band also the more serious. All the boybands seem to be wearing the same type of clothes all stylish (Within the era) this is what we will do in our video. 
 


brief




This is the brief we have chosen for our band "Boyz 4 Now". Our plan is to not exactly follow what other boybands have done but re imagine it, this is so the band can become the latest and greatest boyband.

Week 1 - In our first week we have been introduced to Goodwins theory of music videos. This was taught so we could see and get ideas of what we can do in our music videos.

Week 2 - In our second week we formed groups and have decided on making a video for the song "Its Gonna Be Me" by "Nsync" this would be for our boyband we created called "Boyz 4 Now". Our group has looked at ways to make our selves different from other boy bands but still managing  to keep all the characteristics.  We looked at other boybands for example "Take That" "JLS" and also "Westlife" to name a few. After doing this we then came up for a concept for our video and began to plan, seeing as most boybands have certain styles within the boyband we decided (with some help from our teacher) that we should use this in our video, we then decided that we could each have a element. 

Week 3 - In our third week we have been storyboarding our music video and creating questionnaires. We have created our questionnaires so that we can get feedback preferably from out target audience on what they think is a good idea for our genre, for example one question is "What fashion wear do you think will appear to our target audience?" This is important so that we can target our target audience. 

boyz 4 now logo




this is our Boyz 4 now logo that we created. We used Dafont to make the title and all discussed and agreed this would be the best suited for us. We feel that this title has characteristics similar to other boy band titles and kind of gives off the pop genre look.
