Last week, our media class and the other media classes from college went on a trip to the National Media Museum in Bradford. While there we had a talk from Paul Morricone, a representative from Poison Pen Films, a Leeds based music video production company. They have done projects for the likes of Funeral For A Friend and The Holloways. The Videos that they have created are very varied in both style of music and style of video. During this talk he gave us information and guidance on making our own music videos. This information will come in handy for our production of a music video for our A2 media coursework project.
The mains points gained from this talk are:
· Firstly, the band will ring you up and say they want a music video.
· Listen to music and decide on what type of elements you think will fit with the music.
· Begin production on the video.
· The footage is mainly shot in one day.
· During the shooting of the footage it is better to film the band (if they want to be in the film) lip singing, As this is much easier to do than filming them performing live as they may change what they are doing or making a musical mistake.
· It is best to film in a location that is cheap and quiet rather than expensive and very busy (Like London).
· The editing is the hard part of the production as this may take weeks to complete.
· BUT the editing is the most creative part of the production process as this is when you add effects and change the colour grading etc…
· Show the final product to the band and they will hopefully be happy.
Along with this it seems that bands want high quality videos for a rather low budget, on average £5,000.
As a group we have taken some tips from this day and are applying them to our project to hopefully, help our production and increase our grade.
