POST #57 - FEEDBACK TO FINAL CUT

TAZMIN LUCAS (via Messenger)
- "mate i loved it ahahha" / "i literally cant fault it" / "the camera work was great the editing was interesting" / "it all makes sense and fits with your idea, which is very original" / "its perfect for what you wanted to create and it made me laugh" / "enjoyed it very much well done"

 ELLY BISHOP
- I loved it. I think the camera work and style of the video makes it really fun to watch. The acting was really funny, and the memes that pop up on screen are really well done. They're also gone so fast that it makes you want to watch it again, so that you can catch everything again. Really funny.

 LILY RAY
- I loved the idea - it was so individual and unique and excellently executed! The editing was also very different to anything else with all of the captions, memes and emojis so it made for a very fun video to watch. What i loved especially was the overacting of the characters that particularly made fun of other music videos. 

 EMILY ROGERS
- I think the idea was really unique and genuinely funny. No shots run over and are all interesting. It was a very inventive idea that played on the forms and conventions of music videos previously- it used ideas that aren't really explored in any other music videos. The editing is really cool as well, and you use lots of different techniques and ideas. 

 JACK KIRBY
- this is a completely original and unique piece of filming which despite maybe having a niche market, it certainly shows a great expression of imagination. Maybe to improve would be to use a greater range of locations and an expansion on cast but for a completely original piece, its difficult to know what to improve as it has no real competition with other genre music videos.

 CHARLOTTE VINCENT
- I loved the whole concept, and the editing really stood out as being effective, which heightened the humour. Its a very original and #relevant idea. In particular, the 3D style shots made the whole piece feel much more technically advanced and genuinely 'good' as well as being hilarious - I wouldn't change anything!

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...
