Overview

Over the past few months our group have researched into the conventions of indie pop video's, we have looked at specific music videos and took each video into consideration of what we want our video to have a look of such as, certain camera angles they use, scenery and even clothes they wear. We have also looked at way in which they promote themselves by CD's and posters and seeing how they make themselves iconic to their audience's so looked at these so we have an idea of how we are going to produce something like that for our project. I think with the amount of research we have done as a group we have gained a better knowledge of how we can make the right Indie pop video and making sure we have all the conventions of an indie pop video in our music video. We have made sure we have shown this throughout our blog with posts of costume idea's, location and props and made sure the story we are trying to tell is clear to everyone who will be viewing our blog and video at the end of the project. 

We eventually got to film after the weather being a issue a few times,  we managed to shoot part of our music video involving the beach location which is the main focus of the video, we managed to get every shot we wanted at the beach that we had shown on our storyboard, and the weather wasn't a problem on the day of filming. We were a lot more organised than we have been on any other task we have done as a group as we made sure we had everything we needed, we took extra shots to make sure we had got the right amount of shots and in case some weren't good enough we had extra. When looking back at the shots we took we were all pleased with the outcome and had plenty of shots to choose from and more of a variety to use in the final piece. At the moment we are waiting to shoot our next bits of the music video of the relationship, hopefully this will be shot this week but again because the weather has been really bad we are not sure we will be able to film where we would like to because it will be very muddy. This will allow us to then concentrate on editing the full film and getting a rough shot in for the end of the week, we want to be able to focus more on editing so we can see what the flashbacks will look like and if our idea will work with the beach shots we have already took. 

From the last project i can see by looking at my blog that i have wrote a lot more and have gone into a lot more detail with my post's. I have become more organised and prepared for planning and filming and made sure i have enough research to know where our music video is going to, with the amount of research i have done within the indie pop genre i can see what i need to include in our music video.
