Practice Shots

The images below are some of the pictures we took at school to practice for filming on our third location. The image below is a close up on Jacob playing the guitar, this image was taken after we had filmed this shot. We of course all liked this shot so planned to use it in our actual video.

The shot below is Jacob singing into a pretend microphone from the side. Tom who took all these photo's has also got a picture of the camera filming.

Photo's of Location 2

These are some of the photo's of the scout hall that we used after we changed our song. The shot below is showing me and Alex setting up the set for the bands performance. As you can see on the back wall there are scout signs which can be clearly seen and this was part of the reason why we chose to change location.

The shot below is a picture of me setting up the filming area and as you can see on the floor i had to be very careful due to all the wires on the floor which i could have very easily have tripped over. We later tied these wires down to prevent an accident.

This is a picture of me filming the band as they perform out of shot. This also shows the problem of the side walls not being well covered and once again showing the faults of our location choice as notice boards where clearly seen on side shots.

This photo is a picture of Jacob setting up the drum set for our drummer Chris to play on. Once again he was making sure that the wires from the amps could be held down to prevent anyone tripping and to help keep as many loose wires out of shot.

This picture is just a blank picture of our set without any instruments. It once again shows what our major problem was which was the signs on the back and the typical scout hall floor.

Target Audience 1

The success of every music video depends on whether the viewer likes the video or dislikes the video. In our video we are using the rock song of 'Times like these' by the Foo Fighters. They are a well known American rock band and we are choosing to do a live performance for a video to show the traits of the genre. Most rock bands including Foo Fighters are highly recognised for being a great live band and hopefully our video will represent a great live performance so that the viewer can connect with the song through the video. Another way we can target our audience is by using as many handheld shots as possible, that way the viewer will feel more up close and personal with the band. In summary our target audience is the existing fans of the band and any other rock lovers as they will appreciate the concept of a live up-close performance over a story based narrative of the lyrics.
