costume

During the beginning of the music video/ the start of the narrative, we chose darker clothing for the main character. This was to indicate the negative emotions the character was going through.
 we chose this shirt with black jeans and a black bomber style jacket so that there was as little colour as possible in the outfit.

during the progression of the story line Jazz's clothes get lighter as her emotions and time at her new school start to become more positive.

props

The main prop we are using in our introduction is an A4 piece of lined paper that Jazz (the main character) is using to write lyrics on. it is important we keep the same piece of paper as it will effect the continuity of the music video and may confuse the audience.

BFI & FilmOxford Course

Over the past couple of months I took part in a 10 day film course organised by the BFI and run by Film Oxford.

During this ten day course I was able to make connections with a group of people my age with the same enthusiasm and interest in media.

We made a short film production which allowed every member of the group to rotate job positions, whether that was directing, sound, camera, acting etc. It gave us all a chance to learn skills that we otherwise wouldn't have done.

we had a few visitors from the film and TV industry as well as gaming. each of the speakers gave an introduction workshop to their specialty. This included screen writing, CGI/animation, documentaries, critics and gaming worlds.

Personally I enjoyed learning about screen writing the best as i feel that the way in which a story in communicated from start to finish is valid when it comes to producing a good production where the operators from each stage work as a team.

I learnt a variety of new skills and hope i am able to apply them effectively to my A2 prodution
