Colour wash

When it came to editing our video we decided to incorporate another key and popular r&b theme which is the use of washed out colouring in the music video , we had originally planned to have a black and white video but after some more research we have found the use of washed out colour is much more popular .This effect can be seen in the miss me video by Drake. 

                         

The pictures above are r&b advertisements that we have analysed and will use themes in our final media product . there are several recurring themes in all of these advertisements that we will use ion our final product. Firstly there is a big emphasis on the individual artist with all of the adverts showing large and easily identifiable images of the artists . The idea of identification is key and is also evident in the choice of which are all very bold and in some cases are easily recognisable as the artists logo , The album name is much smaller than the artists name and this shows that the artists image is more important than the product being sold , The overall appearance of the artists is often quite masculine and the fact that the artist named
"tynchy stryder" is not looking at the camera displays arrogance and confidence which is a look we are keen to develop . This theme of masculinity is taken developed further in song names with Jessie J song do it like a dude .

Final filming day

Today we got the last few shots we needed and will begin editing shortly

Second filming day

On the 8 th  of November we had our second filming day , it was a very productive day and we filmed most of the shots we needed however it was cut short due to the camera running out of power , this was a result of the time we were using the camera and could not have been avoided . we plan to film the remaining shots within the next week .

Use of props and costume

In the first day of filming we used several for props and costumes

Ballet shoes                                                                 

Handbag                                                                     
Leotard                                                                            
Water bottle                                                                           

Changes

Below is a list of changes that we made to our video from the original shot list and story board .

1:24-1:27 - changed from character taking first steps into dance to character warming up
1:53-1:55 - changed from character leaving dance studio to character dancing
3:12         - added five seconds of dance

These measures were taken because our story board had not been checked thoroughly enough however we were able to break down the problems we encountered and were able to find the neccesary solutions.

Filming

On the 25th  of October we had our first filming day , the day was centred around getting the footage for the narrative aspect of our video , which is a fly on the wall look at how a teenage girl escapes her troubled life through dance. The filming went well and we have all the shots we need for this part of the video however some minor changes were made to the storyline and a post on this will be added shortly .
