Final Storyboards:

Here are some samples of our storyboards. This method was really effective as this allowed us to discuss our ideas round a table and also this allowed us to get a really clear shot order and on what lyrics a shot should be seen. I would highly recommend this to other groups and will certainly use this method in future pre production planning!

Test shoot good things

Some good things from the test shoot we should try to recreate next weekend:
First shot - have the shot quite close in to begin with (MCU) and keep it in the corner. Possibly have this shot as a high angle as well to connote the vunerability of the character
Master Shot (performance) - lower angle and tighter framing. In the test we liked how close the lights appeared in the shot. We also like the way I move in really close to the camera and have my eyes filling up quite a lot of the frame.
Liam on knees - We liked it alot when i went on my knees and still adressed the camera in a distressed way. We think we should shoot this seperately in order to focus on it and get it just right!
Low level (camera on floor) - place the camera slightly higher, on a book or something, so that when i bend down my eyes are near the centre of the frame

meeting: 22/9/08

group meeting today:
after looking at the captured footage today. it is apparent that we need to sort out a few things in the editing suite as a group.

• we should do a complete edit of the footage we have and see what we have and what we still need.
• we should look at what gestures and action codes liam did so well on the test shoot, and make sur we put these on the reshoot list for next weekends shoot!

i expect to see you all 2moro in the media block!

Weekend shoot

so guys about this weeekend...

• we are shooting at my house. Arrive at 10am to start shooting at 10.20ish.
• remember we will have to clear the room and get the right M/E/S for the test shoot so the earlier you arrive the quicker we can get this show on the road.
• remember to bring the equipment you are responsible of
• max bring those tatoo arms if you can
• keep your mobiles on etc. so we can communicate easily if there is a change of plan
• a note to all of us including myself: the less we mess around and try exciting shots and M/E/S on this test shoot weekend the more accurate our perception of the progress we need to take in preparation for the main shoot!!!

Matt

Treatment!!!!

Band Name - North Circ

Members
Kieron - enrique lookalike
Reece - skinhead, bad boy?
Jamie (RJ) - Beach boy - bleach blonde?

General idea for video-
Waking up late for performance, characters trying to get changed whilst running down the busy streets (markets?) - tracking shots from the side of running, closeups for lipsynching

switching characters as they go past walls (see Roll Deep - When I'm 'Ere)

Grab food and hair products from people and stools and apply them on the way. Throw apple away and have a cutaway of apple in bin (slow mo?) have shots of runing in puddles and sliding over car bonnets.
- throw apple away + step in puddle - slow mo? slide over matt's saxo bonnet deodarant

Audience -
Girls 1st
Young boys - idolisation 1st
Gays - 2nd
Old women 2nd
Parents - good role model for kids 3rd

Girls - they like to read magazines such as the now defunct SmashHits! now probably more into heat and now. Therefore we would do lots of interviews and competitions with these magazines. Appearances on Saturday morning shows on channels like CBBC and CITV.
They will buy lots of merchandise and as they will still be at school we could make pencil cases and accessories such as wristbands and fake tattoos.

OR

Beach!!!!

Brighton - gay icons

Bournemouth - sand

Why 5ive?

We thought that the '5ive' track 'Keep on Moving' was suitable for us because not only dfo we like the genre, we also found it practical as we are a group full of boys! We also felt that the Busted experience was extremely useful as well as fun, and we decided that a focus on performance rather than predominantly narrative; the lip synching and dance moves we felt would challenge us but ultimately create an effective pop music video
