SETTINGS Board - Why I Chose them?

I did this to show what the settings are... This shows each different setting and a description of the the settings and why I chose them. Also what went well and what could have been improved on. This has helped me to decide on the order of the settings and how each will lead onto each other in the music video.

This has also been done to explain what the seasons are and what setting the season is in the setting. Also, this is showing the locations that have been chosen not only to be used in the music video but in the ancillary tasks to.

Woods...   

This is the setting for the first part of the music video with the girl going through the woods. I chose this setting as it is very stunning setting and the light was very good with the interesting shadows through the trees and the different tones of green and blues in the woods. This was also a pretty easy to get access to as it is the woods at the back of my house. I chose this setting as it was a stunning setting and all of the trees made for some interesting shot with the light coming through the trees onto the character face and highlighting her ginger hair.

These are some of tones and shadows that I have mentioned with the light beaming through the trees really made the filming look good and with the contrast of the greens against the ginger of my actresses hair really worked well. I chose this setting as the light is shown in it to be very pretty and this also highlights that it is summer time in the video.  

This is the location that I used for the first filming session. I think that this worked well as it was a good day for weather and the sun beaming through the tress made the lighting look very beautiful and natural. All the colours of the greens worked will against the contrast of character and her clothes, making her look isolated.

took this photo as I wanted to show the more nature side of the video. The whole video will be filming in stunning natural or man made places, with beautiful features and things around my character while she is going on her journey. This all linking to Mise-en-scene as this flower and all the stuff around.

Beach...

The 2nd setting is Big bury Beach, I think this is the most impressive setting as it is just truly beautiful with the different with the grass in the background and the sea and the sand. This was a good setting with the light as well it was so bright and I was lucky enough to get a really bright and sunny day. I chose this setting as as I think that it is truly stunning and show that the artist is showing that he is the west country artist and where he is in the country and the locations.  

The image that I took above are of the natural beauty of the location that I choose to film. I chose to film here as it likes to the song and the idea of the music video. This was done as test and might be used in my final music video. I think this will appeal to the audience as the places are very pretty and look like a place that the audience would want to visit.

This shows the location and how I used the water and the waves to my advantage in the filming as I have a bit of my music video where I show the waves lapping the shore and have my actress walk through the water in bare feet. The overall effect of the water, waves and sand made it look very real and like a real Media text.

This is where I choose to film another part of my music video for my first filming session. I choose this location for many reasons. My audience research on slicethepie.com responses showed that they thought that location was important in any music video as they said for a music video that the location should link with the tone of the song. For example a pop song someone suggested that I should have a funfair. This linking the upbeat nature of the song as well as location. I really think I have linked the tone of the song to the location.

Moors...

This is the third setting of the music video... This is Dartmoor, this is on my doorstep so it was an easy location to get to and is really beautiful. Also, I think it links well to the other setting but is still different in its own way. The only issue that I could have had with the setting is the weather but luckily there was a lovely day and I was able to get some successful filming done.

This shows the tree that I used to the have the photo on in the music video. In addition, this shows the vivid blue and the greens on the moors. The lighting was very good as well as it was a bright day.

House...

The Outside...

This is the house used in the final stage of my music video, this is a simple Victorian terrace in a cute rural village. I used this as it looks really sweet and the inside with the big bay windows is very light. As well as this, it looks like a traditional simple family home. I chose this setting to end the video as it kind of ends the journey at a final destination for the character and it looks like a a normal family home and ties the whole story together and shows a closure for the artist.

This shows the front door that the girl character will walk through to end her journey and this shows that the times and weather had changed as the reef on the door shows that it is Christmas and the season has changed. I really like this as it simple but still has a personal touch with the isle of man sign next to the door.

The Inside...

In all these photos of the inside they link well to the outside as it is the same house and it is quite cute and quirky but still with the family feel to it. I also chose this house as it is easy to get access to as it is my house and it is very light and bright so the lighting was not an issue... you can see this in one of the images with the big bay windows shining in lots of light. 

Studio - White Screen...

This is the white screen that I will be using to have my artist in front of with the pictures of the family behind him. This will break up the same old look for a picture find it think and give a bit of variety in the music video and I am showing the artist. I think this worked well when I put it in black and white and added the footage and shows that I have thought about it and have made it link with the ancillary tasks. 

This has helped me learn to get the right setting for the music video and the genre of the song and how the audience research showed that beautiful setting are a must to go with the song.

I really like the locations that I chose and think they really make my music video. It really links everything together with the ancillary tasks and the magazine adverts. It is a theme all over my project and shows I have thought about mise-en-scene and everything around this to make my music video as successful as I can.

In addition, I really think the locations are important as I chose them for specific reasons and they make continuity throughout the project. They are the locations around where I live and where I grew up and my story to place so this meaning I have stuck to my story and how personal it is.
