What can we gather from this audience research?

Indie/ Alt Rock is commonly known as a genre and people of all ages mostly recognise the genre for what it is. People defiantly knew the more mainstream bands compared to the less mainstream bands. One person even recognised every single band showed and gave feedback like we expected to have in our music video. This was an 18 year old female. People also picked up on the love/ relationship aspect of the lyrics for the song Locked by Welshly Arms which we are creating a music video/ digipak for.

SAMPLE SCENE

...

...

Smaple scene for our performance shoot:

How we prepared:

• We borrowed instuments from the music department
• Had plans for costumes and almost had the full ones for this scene
• Printed out call sheets and shot lists and lyrics
• Simon learned the lyrics

What went well:

• Location scouting had found even ground in the very uneven forest 
• Cast was enthusiastic
• Moral was high 
• We where efficient and managed to get done on time

What we will improve on/ Changes to next shoot:

• direct the cast better
• have better costume prepared
• make sure cast all come on time
• better communication with cast
• Take care for all the framing to avoid things not to be seen

What we learnt:

• It is hard to gather everyone and be reliant on everyone
• Transporting props and instruments can be a hassle
• Lighting outside depends on time of day and weather
• Shooting needs to be done with multiple camera

Audience feedback:

Things we can do (inspiration from Richard)

• Flashback black and white
• Ripping photograph of couple 
• Narrative enigma for band members and narrative 
• Diegetic sound on photograph rip
• Using singer in narrative style 
• Bring amps and leads 
• Band moves around the area and not all are always in the shot 
• Attach gopro to fret board 
• Drum kit, film maybe inside bas drum to kick stand
• Cutting to the beat 

• Singer has been shifted to a close by but another location 
• Fancy dress could work well for couple
• Costume party maybe 
• Ariel shot of drummers
• Think carefully about colour, props like flower can be the colourful part of frame
• Shoot behind the scene of directing and band
