Intertextual reference: MC Hammer

We decided to use the dance from MC Hammer's 'U can't touch this' video as our intertextual reference in our music video. We chose this as it is a popular reference to use and it fits into our dance concept quite well.
We have already got a person who has a MC Hammer costume ready to be used in the video and we thought it would be very useful.

























This is how the person is going to be dressed.

Cast of our music video

This is the cast for our music video. The first picture is of Thabo, the dancer who is going to be dancing at football practice and be distracted by the logos of DJ DELIRIOUS. The second picture of our second female dancer Paula who's going to break the style of dancing in a contemporary ballet style and switch to street dance. The third picture is of Lawrance and he is the dancer we replaced the first one with and he is going to be getting sent out of class for not paying attention to lesson and getting distracted by the song and logo of DJ DELIRIOUS. The last picture is of Priscilla, our last dancer and she is the one that is going to be sent of of church for been irresponsible and dancing whilst preaching is going on.
We haven't got a picture of who the DJ is on this post because we want it to be revealed in the music video.

Time Plan

This is the time plan we have made for our filming schedule, photo shoots for the music video promotion and digipacks and lastly editing. We have included on there all the times and dates we will be filming at. If anything changes, we can change it on the calendar but so far we have everything under control and we hope it stays that way.

Logo for DJ DELIRIOUS

The second logo is the one we've chosen to use as our logo for DJ DELIRIOUS however, we decided to put the other one we made on the blog to show that we had to consider different designs. We chose the first one because it communicates House music more because of the colourful background and the bright colours.

Feedback from our Pitch

These are the feedback we gave to the members of our class to give their opinion of our music video idea after listening to our pitch. The first one is from our teacher and her main criticism was the age target audience needed to be low and we have already made those changes. Also, she thought we need to make sure all the people in the club scene need to be confirmed if they can do so the club scene looks realistic. She thought our idea of dance was very good because it is very current right now and it will fit in the music industry which is very important for anew artist like ours.
The feedback we got from other members also thought that casting would need to be sorted our carefully and after that lesson we went to the dance teacher at our school and we made sure she could provide all the dancers we asked for, and all we needed to do was tell her when and where we needed them in advance. However, most of them thought our concept was good and the incorporation of a logo in the music video to be able to identify DJ DELIRIOUS.

Music Video Pitch

This is the pitch we did for our Music Video to the whole class and our teacher. Our animatic was not included in this pitch because we couldn't save it on our memory stick but we will be posting it individually on this blog.

Evidence of Recce 1

These are the shots of some of the location we are going to be using that are not in school. The first image is outside of the gym/dance centre one of the dancers in the music video are going to be filmed in. The second image is also the dance centre. The thing we are going to be changing here is that when we film the dancer going into the dance centre for rehearsals, we are going to cut to the dance studio at school where we will be filming the dancers dance at.

The third image the path we are going to add logos of DJ DELIRIOUS that each dancer is going to have to walk past. The fourth image is the car park of the secret place that the dancers are going to find and this is where they will all meet up.

The fifth image is the door to the club scene that each dancer will open we tried taking a picture of us opening the door so we can see what it looks like open. The sixth image is the church we will also be filming one of the dancers in and we already asked for permission to film there. The last image is the entrance of the church and where we will also be adding logos of DJ DELIRIOUS.

Contract of Participation

This is the contract we gave to the dancers and the DJ that are participating in our music video. We wanted to make sure that they are committed and will not let us down when we want to film.

Production Plan

This production plan is to help us sort out all the things we need from now till we finish filming. The first thing we need to sort out is to finish our animatic of our storyboard.

The animatic would be done on imovie and we would need to put on song over it to portray how we want it to look.We have found the location we are going to shoot at and they are: in front of a church, at a bus-stop, in front of a gym centre, a dram room(club scene), a dance studio and a classroom.

We need take evidence of recce of the location we are going to be filming at because it will help us make sure if the lighting of the place is ok and and if the places are going to ok when we decide to film. We also need to inform the cast and dancers in the music video when they are going to be needed so they are not preoccupied on the day we are going to film.

We won't be needing any props for the dancers in our music video, but we will be needing a DJ turntable for the DJ to use. We also need to inform the dancers that are going to be in the club scene to wear clothes they can dance in and something bright so we can see them in an also because that's the theme for our music video.

The last thing we need to do after we have sorted things out is to schedule the dates we will be filming on and how long we will be filming for so that everyone is involved and know what they are supposed to be doing.

Production Journal 3

In this week's lesson we started to draw each shots that we will film for our music video on opur storyboard. In my group we decided that we will write each shot down on paper first before we draw it on our storyboard because we didn't want to make any mistakes. Also, because both members of my group are not very creative so we are not very good at drawing, we found it a difficult trying to show what each shot will look like on the storyboard. That was the only difficulty we faced when drawing our storyboard.

We wrote down what each shot will look like on the storyboard beacuse of the lack of our ability to draw properly. Also, to make sure some of the shots we have match the lyrics, we printed out a copy of the lyrics but, next time when we draw our storyboard we have to make sure we download the song on our Ipods so we hear the song while we plan.

Audience Profile

Audience Feedback

We pitched our Music Video ideas to our class and we got some feedback and what they thought was good, and what we needed work on.

We discussed who we were going to cast as DJ delirious to act as a DJ in our music video an we decided that we were going to use a member of staff at school who has an idea on how to run a club. We also discussed health&safety rules in the club shot because the room we are going to use has faulty lights on the ceiling so we would have to make sure the room was available to use when we need it because of the cast in our music videos.

We discussed the mise-en-scene in the room we are going to shoot in and the class suggested that we have to make sure all the things in the room we are going to film in should be cleared before we get there because otherwise the quality of the video won't be as good.

They also gave feedback on the cast and dancers in the video and they said that we would have to make sure a ll of them are committed before the day of shooting to avoid any inconveniences and people not turning up.

Lastly, our teacher told us that we would have to make sure the lighting in the room was stable and working and we also had to make sure that whilst shooting that the lighting was really good.

Digipacks

Describe what a digipack is.

A digipack is a CD release of an artist or a band in paper cardboard packaging instead of plastic with an ongoing colour theme.

What are the codes and conventions?

The codes and conventions of a digipack are it has the name of a record label at the back of the digipack. It may also have the lyrics of the song inside the digipack. The website of the artist(s) will also be included in the digipack. Copyright information of the song will be included at the back of the digipack. A barcode will also be included. The name of the song and the name of the artist will be included on the spine so when its on a CD rack. A parental advisory note may be included if the song contains some swear words.

Why would a record label choose to release a digipack rather, than a CD in a jewel case?

Record labels release digipacks because they are good for promo copies to give to consumers.

Are there added benefits for the consumer when buying a digipack?

A digipack may be smaller than normal CD album. A digipack may give something else to a consumer when they buy it, it allows a consumer to feel like they are getting something extra.

Inspiration for the club scene in our Music Video

This song and the club scene at the end of it has given me and my group member a lot of inspiration for how we want the dancers and clubbers to interact with each other when we film that scene. This song is house/dance song so its message is about dance and love and luckily so is ours.
We want each dancer to showcase their dance in the middle while people surround them as is shown in this video. This is also where we will reveal the DJ and this will fit in with how we will edit it.
The difficulties we miight face when we film this scene is the amount of people that will be at the club and getting the location we want to use as the club to look as good as it does in this video.
