POST #29 - PLANNING: COSTUMES AND MAKE-UP

ALAN HAMLIN
  • A hoodie - Alan is insecure at the start of the music video, and feels fairly vulnerable. To hide his self-proclaimed "weakness", he wears a hoodie. Gradually as the video goes on, he removes some aspects of the hoodie. First he unzips it, then takes off the hood, and finally, he takes the hoodie off as a whole at the climax.
  • Jeans - Generic trousers.
  • Shoes - Generic shoes
  • T-Shirt - Generic shirt, but as the video goes on, the shirts progressively become brighter as the video goes on.

LISA SKYGUY
  • Shirt - Generic shirt
  • Necklace - Lisa likes to make herself look nice, and one of her favourite things to wear as a part of that is a necklace, given to her by her dying grandmother.
  • Trousers - Ripped jeans, since she considers herself a free spirit and likes wearing that kind of hip, trendy clothes.
  • Shoes - Converse type shoes, without socks. Again, following the "free spirit / hipster" theme she has.
  • Accessories - Rings, maybe 2 or 3?
  • (POSSIBLY) Overshirt - a red and black plaid shirt to wear over the T-shirt

POST #26 - PLANNING: PLOT AND SCRIPT

The plot has been finalised! Finally! So why don't we run through it, plotbeat by plotbeat? We start off seeing Alan sitting at a table outside a cafe. He's having a phone call, while letting his drink go cold. We can hear a female voice, Lisa, on the other end of the phone, who's trying to gently let Alan know it's over. On her end, Lisa's new boyfriend, Chad, grabs the phone. He shouts down to Alan that "the world is gonna roll him". Furious, Alan hangs up, and leaves the cafe. He walks into a musical instrument shop, looking at a selection of guitars, feeling sad. He remembers how he played guitar for Lisa. He leaves the shop without buying anything, and starts walking down the street. He stops for a second, seeing a poster. It reads "MUSICAL TALENT WANTED!", and then a phone number. Alan considers it, then walks away. A second later, he rips the poster off the wall, and runs home. This is the point where All Star starts playing. Alan ...

POST #32 - SOUND

In terms of diegetic sound, the only piece of it will be in the opening scene, before the song starts. When Alan is on the phone, I want to record the real audio from the actor pretending to have a phone call. The other end of the phone call won't be diegetic though, it'll be edited through Audacity and by recording my two other actors separately.  Non-diegetic sound is going to be quite heavy. Ignoring the song itself over the entire music video, I also want to use some audio I captured at a concert I've been to previously. During a lull where the artist had to tune her ukulele, she asked the audience to entertain themselves for "5 seconds". The crowd started singing All Star, to the sarcastic dismay of the artist. Her backing band joined in too, playing music to accompany the crowd's singing. Luckily, I recorded the entire thing, so I can use clips of audio of it for when I want a large crowd singing the song. As mentioned before, the phone call at the b...
