Shooting Schedule

 
This is our shooting schedule for 14/11/11 and 15/11/11. These are the dates that were given to us to film our video. We think that this shooting schedule is going to help us be more organised and save us a lot of time. By sticking to it we will have a clear idea of what to do and where we need to be at all times.

Shot list


Shot List

This is our shot list of all the shots we are going to need to create our music video. We have decided that we need 25 shots that need to make up our music video, however we have decided that we are going to take a few extra shots of where our character is singing the song into the camera, as well as some additional shots of the sunset that we can use in case something goes wrong, or in case we don't like any of the shots. This will let us have a variety of shots that we can choose the best one from and therefore make our video better. This gives us room for errors and mistakes and will allow us to easily fix any unnecessary problems.

1. Mid-shot - Artist walking down the street towards the camera.
2. Mid-shot - Male character walking down the street towards the camera.

Storyboard


This is the story board we have created for our music video. It consists of 26 shots taken both outside and inside at different locations. This is going to help us get different lighting for different parts of the video which will have a good effect on the video's overall quality as it will make it look more interesting and exciting. This story board is going to help us keep track of the 'story' that we have come up with for the video and also show us where everything needs to be and what props we need to use, for example in shot 10 we will be needing a bin, a pearl necklace and a note saying 'I love you'. We will get a hold of these props before we film the video in order to make sure that everything goes to plan and there are no last minute problems and confusions.

Audience Research

This is the questionnaire we created in order to get responses from people and find out what Kate Nash fans are like and what they like about her. It is a piece of primary research, because we wanted the answers to be relevant to what we are doing and suit our needs. This was better than carrying out a secondary research, because the results that we would have got then may have been out of date and unrelated to our research.

www.surveymonkey.com/s/vz6bvmj

By the questions we have asked you can see that we have tried to get to know people's personalities and the things they like. We were hoping to get a pattern in results, which would lead to us knowing more things about Kate's audience and therefore make a better video suited for them. A pattern will also show us that what we've been doing was right and that we have asked the right people, the right questions. On the other hand, if we get responses that are all over the place and a bit hard to comprehend this would be a sign that we haven't done a good job with the questions. We spent quite a bit of time doing this survey, so we are all thinking that the responses we get will be structured and well-presented.

Most of the questions in the survey (1-7,10) have multiple choice answers where you can only pick one answer. We thought that it would be easier for the people who are doing the survey to pick one answer, instead of having to tick more. This will also help us get more relevant results.

For question 8 - 'How would you describe your personality?' we also had multiple choice answers, however people could pick as many answers as they like. This was done because it is quite difficult to describe yourself in one word and also, we will get a better picture of the person's individuality this way.

Question 9 was an unusual one as the answer had to be written by the respondents themselves. This gives them freedom to put down and artist/bands they like, without them having any restrictions whatsoever. This is good because it makes the survey more personal, and gets the audience more involved with it.

We sent this survey out to Kate Nash forums, fan pages, people on youtube, and we posted it on videos on youtube (as a comment) in order to collect more responses from targetted Kate fans.

These are some of the places we sent this survey link to:

Audience Research

We created a questionnaire on surveymonkey which you can find here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/vz6bvmj

We managed to find 12 fans of Kate Nash to fill out this questionnaire and having done this we think we have gained a good idea of what they are like, what they like doing in their spare time and what they like about the artist and the type of music.

Here are the questions and the responses that we collected:
