Preliminary Task Update

The preliminary task of a one minute music video is falling into place quite nicely, despite me being away for a couple of days. My idea is to film a band playing the song (miming playing the instruments) on a stage and just basically making it look as if they playing at a live show or as if they were at a gig. The song I have chosen is "I Punched a Lion in the Throat" from the band I'am basing my project on, Pulled Apart by Horses. I pretty much have everything set up, the location will be in my schools Hall as it has a stage perfect for this with a drum set already set up on it and it also has stage lights with a lighting board so the lights colour and effects can be changed. The instruments for the band I will borrow from my schools music department, all is needed is two guitars, a bass and microphone and stand. The band is pretty much assembled with filming occuring tommorow and should only taking around an hour to get all the shots needed, as I'am not aiming for anything big or over the top, just a simple video to easy myself into the art of making a music video before I start work on the full length one for my main task and project. Hopefully by doing this one minute video I will know what works and what doesn't work, i.e. in things such as filiming techniques, so I'am fully prepared for when it comes to doing the final piece. Also a big thanks to my old media partner from last year, James Burton, who said I could use his camera and aslo said he would help me film it, as I'am hoping to be the frontman in the video while directing and guiding things at the same time. Hopefully, like I said filming starts and should be done by tommorow, with rendering and editing occuring over the weekend and a couple of days at the start of week, with hopefully it being up on my blog before I break up for summer break, next friday. So fingers crossed it gets done and keep an eye out for updates and the finished product.
