Meetings (week beginning 6th Oct)

This week our meetings were Tuesday lunch and Wednesday during a media lesson. We made an agenda on the Tuesday to agree on what needed to be done that week.

We began writing a list of all the shots we wanted to have in the video, and then began drawing them out using colour-coding to identify different framing for different shots.

We also spent quite a big part of the meetings this week deciding on what props we wanted to use, considering which props may be difficult to source or be logistically impossible to incorporate into our video. Once we had agreed on a list, we searched for prices of these props so that we could order them, mostly on Amazon.co.uk (see props post). By ordering the props into different types based on size and scale, we managed to strengthen our idea of having a visual progression through our video.

As we were going to start thinking about our own website design soon, we began to look for inspiration for existing websites, shown below.

I felt like this was the first week that our project really started coming together from ideas to real original visual aids such as our shot list. The website research also really helped us consider the image and branding that we wanted to get across through our styling of the band, website, album cover and, of course, the music video.
