feedback on blog so far

Some good sense of progression here with reference to aspects of planning. However there is work missing and some of the analysis is not detailed enough to warrant a level 4. Analysis needs to be revisited and detail added. At the moment your planning grade is a level 3.

S&G - Evaluating the reccie

The reccie to Brighton was extremely helpful. Not only did it introduce us to the new cameras, but it gave us an idea of the type of shots that work and those that don't. We would not use Brighton for our location as it is not ideal, however it was very photogeic .
For our own reccie, we would know how much time we need and be able to plan the exact shots that we need to test.

Georgina: Song Lyrics

Here are the lyrics for our track 'Lights' by Ellie Goulding.


I had a way then losing it all on my own
(all verses are shot out side in an idylic country location - lip syncing)

I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat

And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine It when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
The actress in standing outside in a crowded location with a vacant stare looking at the camera, the people in the backgrond appear to be moving faster that expected (fast motion) while the actress is remaining still.

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head

Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing

And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept

In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home

Home

Lights, lights, lights, lights

Lights, lights, lights, lights

Light, lights, lights, lights

Light, lights

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

Deconstructing a Music Video

I chose to analyse this video as it is the same artist that we are using for our music video. I felt that it would be useful to look closely at aspects of one of Ellie Gouling's tracks so that we can modify some of her ideas to implement into our own piece.

Richard Dyer

Richard Dyer states that the star image should be fundamentally incoherent. It should be incomplete and 'open'. This is because it is based upon 2 key paradoxes:

Paradox 1 - The star must be simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary for the consumer.

This can apply to Ellie Goulding as, being an Indie artist, she is unique.

Paradox 2 - The star must be simultaneously present and absent for the consumer.

Ellie Goulding is mainly present in this video. However, she is blurred at the beginning giving the audience a longing to see her.
