Extended Deadline..

After not feeling the video was up to our potential, we have agreed with Mr Johnson to extend the deadline into the new year in the first few weeks January, I will now update my blog again after Christmas. Have a good Christmas everyone !

Nearing the deadline...

We're nearing the deadline for our music video to be completed and we have arranged for a few days to do extra filming due to not having enough clips to fill the music video, I'll keep you posted with our progress...

Final Filming

To make sure we have enough clips to edit and include in the music video, we shot some extra footage in the local park and close ups and mid shots of the main singer Myles. We hope to have finished the filming now with editing left to do. We aim to have the music video uploaded on here by next week and we will then start to complete the digipak and magazine advert.

Who is our music video suited to?

I believe that our music video and the vibe we're aiming to achieve would be most suited to the teenage audience. It is a fun and light hearted video which seems to celebrate being young and carefree. Our video is not explicit so could be shown at any time if it were to every go on a music channel. I believe the younger audience of the early 20's may also enjoy the song and our video. It is a real feel good video that will make you smile.

Update on Filming

After the Christmas break, we are nearing finishing our completed project of the music video. We required to do some extra filming so the group went to the O2 in South London to add some extra footage for the video.

More filming...

Today, we went back to film the close ups of each other singing the song. This was important to get a range of shots when editing the video so we don't have any shots that drag out and make the video look dull and boring.

London Filming

Today, we spent the whole morning in London filming random scenes that represented the idea of the average teenage child having fun in the capital. We visited Piccadilly Square, St James Park, The Thames, Buckingham Palace, Soho and Oxford Street to film various scenes across Central London. This was a rather enjoyable trip for the whole group where we got the majority of our footage shot.

1st Day of Filming

Today, we started filming and we decided our first setting to be the school stage, we borrowed the guitars and microphone from our music department and headed to the stage. We had to ask permission from the caretaker who was more than happy to let us use the stage. Originally, I was meant to be the lead singer for the video but due to Myles knowing the words better, we decided I would become a guitarist with Riiwan and allow Myles to become the lead singer. We then filmed us singing the first verse and the chorus.
