Planning 25/11/16

Toady i will be filming at Fewston reservoir and i will be filming the dancing in the road scene and possibly a photoshoot for my digipack.

There was a slight issue with the initial dates. She cannot film on the 27th of november now so we will have to rearrange some dates to get  all the filming finished. I then sent her a long paragraph about the details of the shoot today and asked her to choreograph some dances to specific times of the songs that i need. 

There was then another issue with dates therefore we we film today i will be recording a podcast and i will state the other dates we have decided to film on. She also stated that she will send me her choreography ideas.

she was giving me ideas about a variety of shots and then this was the planning for before the shoot. 

She then sent me a picture of a blue dress that she has. This goes along with the lyrics of 'blue velvet dress'. An issue with the costume so far is that the dress is not velvet. However because some of the shots will be in the dark it hopefully won't make too much of a difference. 

In this image we are discussing the times of when we are going to film on the Friday (today). We also discussed what would be easier for the protagonist and where to film.  

We have deciding on meeting at Fewston reservoir at 2pm on Friday the 25/11/16. We also discussed the makeup and props. Therefore we decided that as long as we keep one look and a constant makeup look, it would be appropriate.

She was also mentioning a choreographer called Martha Graham and gave me details about her in which i will be progressing into another blog post. She then mentioned another choreographer called Pina Bausch. Bausch relates to my music video and the dance that Anna has created because she uses long dresses and battles against the elements. Today we will be filming outside therefore the protagonist will not only be battling her inner self but also the outdoors. 

Mis-en-scene

Throughout the music video i will need minimal props and costume. I will using the surrounding locations to their potential. 

Make-up: Dark eye makeup, black and blue eyeshadow and dark purple lipstick throughout

Costume: Blue dress, leggings and a long sleeved top underneath the dress so that she is comfortable and warm. she will also be wearing black dance shoes.

Location One 

Fewston Reservoir -

I will be filming at Fewston reservoir and it will be in the middle of a quiet off road that has overhead trees. The over head trees give the shot a darker feel due to the shadows. I will be using the car lights that we will have to drive in to get to the location as lighting for the scene. This will give the impression of the silhouette. the protagonist will also be wearing a blur dress due to the lyrics mentioning a blue velvet dress. However due to the weather conditions she will also be wearing leggings and a top underneath because i don't want her to freeze to death. Also because she will be dancing it is better that she in comfortable. 

Location Two

Ilkley moor (cow and calf rocks) -

Here I will be filming in the back circle of the cow and calf rocks.

I will be filming stop start motion hear of her dancing. Due to the lighting being rather dark because of the surrounding rock i will be going here at around 12pm on the day. The audience will be able to denote the protagonist. In this section of the music video the female protagonist will be shaking her head and showing that she is slowly loosing her mind. Here she will be wearing the same clothes and her make will be the same also. 

Location Three

High Rhoyds abandoned building mention -

Here she will be dancing in the centre. I will also be walking around and getting tracking shots of her exploring the building.
