Change Of Plan..

Okay, so there may have been some slight difficulties in filming in that one of our actors has dropped out. Thus causing us some minor (MAJOR!) problems with the plotline and continuity of the video.

To resolve this issue, we decided to change the plotline (just a tad) and this is how it's going to look (you know minus all of the writing)

Single Cover..

This is my cover to the single used for our music video.

The reason I have chosen this picture is because the pose of the model(me) is stereotypically sexually appealing to the audience. Looking directly down the camera intises them to look at the single and then potentially buy it. The brightness of the hair (not photoshopped) also adds a kind of edge to the star which links with the type of dance music that it is. It also clashes nicly with the other colours I've used orange and yellow and black and white, which will then attract the audiences attention more to the single, without being too garish or lurid.

I've also decided to change the identity of the singer from being Joss.Mag to J.Me. I've decided to do this because I think the name sounds much cooler (for want of a better word) and also sounds a bit more like someone a Dj like David Guetta would want to work with.


This is the back behind the cover. This gives a special thanks to everyone in the video, and also provides an excellent forum for advertising for the production company Beau Productions.

The colour matches the rest of the colour scheme of more pastel colours, and I also decided to include the artists signatures to add a more personal touch for the fans.


This is the place for my actual CD. I decided to use a different picture of the artist to give a bit more edge to the piece, and also shows the artist in a different light which becomes more appealing to the audience. Her pose is in a more 'attitude' kind of style, which gives her much more of a cool edge.

Also the photo is deliberately made to have a film grain effect on it to make it
look more old and retro, which is very much in fashion now.


The back to my pack, is slightly darker than the rest of the CD in order to attract attention to the use of remixes on the song list, and also to just add a bit more variation to the piece. By using the song title as the main background it also reminds the audience of what they're listening to so it really sticks with their heads. It also creates a logo in a sense of the song, so it then becomes branded with the artist and also creates potential for a T-shirt or clothing line to be created out of it.

[PLEASE NOTE THERE WERE SOME ERRORS DURING ORIGINAL UPLOAD. THEREFORE MEANING I HAD TO RE-UPLOAD PARTS OF MY DIGI PACK FOR A SECOND TIME]

More Complications..

This beautiful English weather seems to be getting in the way an awful lot at the minute. So as a back up plan the locations manager (that's just a posh name for Soph) has decided to see if we can do some filming in a local recording studio in Heworth City Learning Centre (CLC). Here is a photo of the interior to give you some overview of the new location (:

Complications..

Well this typical english weather seems to be getting in the way of filming at the moment. With schools closing and transport becoming increasingly difficult to get a hold of, filming is becoming more and more of a hard job. So for now, please enjoy our storyboards for the project and please restrain yourself from commenting on the quality of the drawing.. Amazing though it may be.. (:

Beginning of Filming..

First Day Of Filming: 01.11.2010 Just a quick video explaining what happened on our first day of filming (: Enjoy!

Getting Started..

The main issue of the day is to get permission to film in our different locations. More specifically, places like Newcastle Airport & Fenwick's, we would have to email or phone well ahead of time to make sure that we would be allowed to film. Having already been in touch with Newcastle Airport (N.A) & Fenwick's, we've discovered that we cannot film in one of the locations (Fenwick's) because of the time of year it is. With them having to put up the famous window and also with over eager christmas shoppers trying to get all of their presents before december it would be far too busy for even our small camera crew to be in the way. N.A have been in touch, but nothing is yet confirmed. Cenrtal Station is a good alternative to N.A however we are having difficulty finding contact details for their head office at the moment to ask for filming permission. The other locations, are public. Therefore providing its not hideously busy (which on Northumberland Street, chances are it's going to be, but we kind of want that!) We can film easily without really needing to ask anyones permission to do so. Making our lives a lot easier. Happy days! (:

Location Shots

For the locations, we've decided to stay quite local, with the furthest we're going to travel to being South Shields. We went out and got some location shots so we could get a rough idea of where we could film different scenes and shots for our video. The following shots were taken in Newcastle city centre (The best place to be!) (:


This first shot was taken by the flats behind Black Friar's near China town (behind the Gate for anyone who is geographically incapable like myself). We decided this looked like a really nice, cute place to film some romantic memory scenes. Maybe some shots of the couple walking through past the flats to show where they live. It looks like a quiet little village somewhere: A very romantic setting for any young couple to fall in love (:


This area is just across from the picture above. Its a small park, where we though the couple could be filmed having a picnic or a cup of coffee. Again another memory shot for the video. The area is all natural with natural colouring, so it would make the scenes look a lot more real but the green colouring and the older looking buildings give a more 'homey' effect to the shot.


Coffee shops are a typical place for romance to happen. Even if it's a break up coffee or a get together coffee it still is a good place for sparks to ignite (: Again this is more for the memory shots than anything else, but we think that coffee shops are perfect for this part (even if we end up not using Starbucks).


We've decided for the chase scene (or at least one of them) we would have the girl going down onto the metro to get on and get try and to the airport/train station before the boy goes. The metro is the easiest option in terms of filming on public transport as we dont actually have to film her on the metro just film her getting onto it. Easy done!
