Pitch

So today Dynamic Productions presented their pitch for their music video idea. The pitch included

• Research into conventions of existing Indie/Rock music videos
• Our task schedule
• Type of shots we would use with test shots 
• We also talked a bit about our promotional packages and who was doing what in the ancillary task 
• Each members job during the task

Our pitch was passed however there were certain areas we were told to improve by next week. Theses were to have: drafts for the ancillary tasks , have a style sheets with ideas for font, colour , and location shots, solid storyboard ideas and more detail into roles that each member of the group plays .

For my ancillary task I have decided to do a digipack and a magazine advertisement, I may add another product such as a t-shirt or bracelet to my ancillary task.


Keep watching for more updates

Lyrics

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Chosen Song

Good news guys Dynamic Production have made some major achievements in the last couple of days. Firstly the group have finally chosen a song  the song being 'Muse- Feeling Good'. Although 'Glory- Ryan Leslie' was a good song, using the song 'Feelin Good' sets out a clear narrative for our music video. The song 'Feelin Good' is a classic from the 1965 musical ' The Roar of Greasepaint- The Smell of A Crowd'. The song has been covered many time by artist including Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra Jr and of course Muse.  

By picking this song the group can begin to look at conventions of  the indie/rock genre. Conventions such as the music video, mise-en-scene and the promotional items.

Here is our other song choice 'Glory' by Ryan Leslie

First Meeting :)

So we've thought of a name for our group which is Dynamic Productions, and we had our first meeting on the 6th October. Firstly we thought of ideas for the song we would use for our music video. The two main songs we thought of were 'Feeling Good - Muse' and 'Glory - Ryan Leslie'. The two songs are very contrasting as one song 'Feeling Good' is by a band and 'Glory' is by a solo artist they are also different genres of music as one is indie and the other is R'n'B . With these two songs we will be able to see how the conventions of music videos work and how the conventions of a promotional package are put together.

During the meeting we decided the 'relationships' will be the main theme of our music video , we also looked at sub categories such as break-ups and depression that could help us with our narrative to our music video. We decided that we could use mood boards in our pitch to help us explain our ideas. Our pitch has to be presented on the 15th of October so we still have a bit to do but we're making progress :)
