Animatic


This is the animatic I have created for my idea for music video of the song "Use Somebody". I think I could improve it by adding more shots and making sure that the narrative is shown clear and straight forward.

Production Log for Photoshoot

This is my Production Log for my photoshoots with the band members. 
On October the 31st I went out with the lead singer from the band and had a photoshoot with just him. Some of the photos turned out to be very successful. However, the location wasn't very appropriate because the back ground was very colourful, you could see all the Autumn leaves which is not appropriate for the band at all. I am still going to use some of them after i have edited them on Photoshop and maybe have them in black and white as the lead singer being outside and "roaming" around suits the song I will be making a music video for. Therefore it is a little bit suitable. On Monday and Tuesday (26th and 27th) I was planning what I am going to do on the day of the photoshoot. I told the lead singer to wear black jeans an a black jean jacket which I think is the look I am going for. I planned all the locations we was going to go to and the shots and angles I will be using while taking the photos.


In the First week of November I have planned a second photoshoot which unfortunately didn't happen as two of the members couldn't turn up even though I gave them 1 week notice. I am planning another photoshoot with different people which i can rely on. That photoshoot is going to happen on the 15th of November. I am going to have 3 band members. We are going to go to several locations. Also I am trying to research and find a location which is inside and it looks quite urban and abandoned. We are going to go there if i find an appropriate location.

Logo and Font Choices

I want my band to have a logo, this is because the band is advartising their music not themselves. I am going to experiment with variety of art techniques to create my logo as I want it to be unique and well designed.
This one isn't very original but I like the way the word overlap and I think its quite appropriate as the name for the band because its unique and doesn't really have anything to do with the bad which reminds me of the name " Kings of Leon" too. I decided to keep this name and the font as I think its the most appropriate one.

Song Choice: Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

This is the song I have chose to do this is because it has a meaning behind it so therefore I am going to create a narrative when making the music video. I like that the song is classed as rock but it is still soft and meaningful. I chose this song and not the others because the others were too much of a hard rock and then it would be more appropriate to have a band performance in the music video. Although I want to have just one band member as the lead singer and some actors. The rest of the band members wouldn't be in it. This song is going to be presented as a Alternative rock song insted of Indie due to the way I want my band appereance to look like and the song also fits into Alternative rock.



These are the lyrics of the song:
Use Somebody

                                                 I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach.


You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody


Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street.


You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you.


Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice


Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now [x4]


Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody


I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see...
