Shooting Schedule

Most of the footage will be filmed on the 29th November in KLV on the running track and the school's sports hall. The rest will be taken on the 30th November in the sports hall. Zak (my talent) will be present for both days.

Risk Assessment

Seeing as it was rather cold and slightly rainy when I was filming, my talent could've died from pneumonia...

Just kidding, it was cold though -.-

My talent could've got any kind of injury from running and perhaps falling over. The wind was rather strong so it could've blown leaves and dirt in their eyes.

It's not a really dangerous filming environment so there's not very many risky things.

Locations

I have filmed the vast majority of my footage on KLV's running track in Kettering.

My dad took a photo of me filming on the track...

The other place I filmed in was the Sports Hall changing rooms and my school :) Luckily they also let me use the treadmills and bike machines.

Complete change of plan!

Right, my previous idea was just not working at all...and I had a brainwave last night :D I've changed my song to Muse - Butterflies & Hurricanes, I have the whole video sorted out, I have my talent ready to film tomorrow and I will be editing like mad tomorrow :)

Music Video Directors Research

There are many good directors out in the world of music videos, but here are 3 of my favourites:

1) Marc Webb

Okay, on a slightly less educational note...HE IS A AMAZING DIRECTOR! Definately my favourite!

Anyway...back to reality... :)

Marc Webb is an American music video, short film and major motion director. He is signed to DNA in Hollywood, California and Academy Productions Ltd in the UK. His first music video was in 1997: Blues Traveler - Canadian Rose. Webb has a signiture white lamb that appears in some of his music videos such as: Brand New's "Transit Gloria...Glory fades" and Yellowcard's "Ocean Avenue".

He has focused on a few very popular bands... for example, My Chemical Romance. He has made videos for their songs: I'm Not Okay (I Promise), Helena, I Don't Love You and Teenagers. All of these are of very good quality and standard.

He's also directed for Greenday's "21 Guns" and Good Charlotte's - "The River" featuring M. Shadows and Synyster Gates. Webb doesn't just stay on the 'rock scene' though, he has directed videos for many other artists, for example Maroon 5.

Here's my 2 favourite videos of his:

My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You:

My Chemical Romance - Helena:

2) Wayne Isham

On another slightly uneducational note... I now cant decide who I prefer over Marc Webb or Wayne Isham....blahh

again, back to reality...

Wayne Isham is an American music video and feature film director. He seems to prefer to stick to certain bands rather than have a wide range of videos here and there. I already knew of a lot of his music videos, but whilst looking at the list, Isham seems to focus on these 4 bands the most:

• Avenged Sevenfold - "Seize The Day", "Afterlife", "Nightmare" and "So Far Away"
• Mötley Crüe - "Smokin' In The Boy's Room", "Home Sweet Home", "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Wild Side", "You're All I Need" and "Dr Feelgood".
• Bon Jovi - "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Livin' On A Prayer", "Bad Medicine", "I'll Be There For You", "Lay Your Hands On Me", "Living In Sin", "Bed Of Roses", "It's My Life", "Say It Isn't So" and "Thankyou For Loving Me".

Here are my 2 favourite music videos of his:

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare:

      

Bon Jovi - It's My Life:

3) Tony Petrossian

Tony Petrossian is an acclaimed music video and TV advertisments director. He has directed adverts for brands such as McDonalds, Nike and Sony Ericsson.

Petrossian hasn't directed as many videos as Marc Webb or Wayne Isham, but his videos are still of very good standard. Like Wayne Isham, he seems to focus on a few bands:

• Slipknot - "Duality", "Vermillion", "Before I Forget"
• Bullet For My Valentine - "Tears Don't Fall", "Scream, Aim Fire"
• Stone Sour - "Through Glass"
• Avenged Sevenfold - "Beast And The Harlot"

My favourite music video of his is Stone Sour - Through Glass:

My second favourite video of his is Slipknot - Duality:
