I recorded this podcast like session in case I am ill tomorrow and need to play this to put my idea across. I think that i would prefer to talk in person though.

The song I have chosen is 'Real Froends' by Kanye West. I have chosen this song as it is recent and also doesn't have a music video which is strange as he is such a big artist. It also has a good amount of bass/beat drops that i can sync cuts and transitions with. It is also not a very 'hard' song, it has a very satisfying beat that fits well with the lyrics. It is also a recent song in which i was looking for and am pleased that i found a song with no music video by such a heavily looked upon artist.
Below is an example of the song. It is not the original as that is not on Youtube but i will be using the real, full song.
It does have a few swear words in the first verse but they can easily be masked with music cuts or even the screech affects you hear on the radio clean edits. It is not a tough job.
The intro of the song buys me enough time to insert a artistic, impressionist type edit with cleaver transitions and shots. I also think that the beat and lyrics are slow enough for someone to be lip syncing with it and keep up with it.
I also like the idea of the mix between lip sync clips with some smoke in the back ground and also b-roll type shots or cinematic shots.
The combination of impressionism and the clever shots will make the video look professional and enjoyable at the same time.

A music video that interest me in style and technique wise is 'Still Breezy'. This music video has alot of the techniques and styles combined in one. One aspect I like is the transitions from the opening scene into the next shot in which intales a long shot transitioning into a mid long shot. This transitions is a spiraling shot. This adds character and change to the video. There are also layered shots where there are multiple of him that are faded and this adds depth.
I also like the one take videos by Futuristic as he includes lip syncing and lyrical connections. This takes a long time due to takes and actions. In editing terms, all that is done is added affects and also synced video to audio.
One more video that inspires me is 'Scarface' by Jaden Smith. This music video has every aspect of music videos that I enjoy. It has fancy camera angles, great editing techniques, an amazing performance and out of all, a sort of story line.
I really look up to this music video and find myself watching it a lot, especially the past week of doing this project. I think that I would really like to include feature from this music video in mine especially the camera angles and editing techniques.
I personally like the scene when he is perched on the wall and the 'scarface' runs past. This affects the screen by making it change from a grey scale type colour way to a normal full colour enhanced colour way.
Even the basic types of transitions and cuts made this a great feature.
I also especially enjoy the camera angles as they are modern and I enjoy th way they are taken and combined using the editors amazing skills.
This is by far my favourite and most inspiring music video.

My personal inspirations that are to do with film are Jake Angeles. He is a youtube video creator who makes videos every second day. He has his own personal, creative touch to his videos by making short, film-like edits that really motivate me. I will most likely recreate his style in my music video.
My uncle is also an inspiration in media as he edits television programs. He taught me some editing skills that i still need to develop. I will most likely use his skills via my music video.

My budget for the music video would be next to nothing really. If needed, people would have to put a small amount forward if we need a licence but i would do research to where would be free. The only thing people would have to pay for is their own transportation costs if the group decide to go out of arlow.

Scenario 1:
Scenario 1 is the consideration of weather. If it starts to rain or freak weather conditions apply, we would either wait it out or even just shoot the next day or when ever it passes over. This is a problem as it may break equipment or even give us colds.

Scenario 2:
Scenario 2 is if somebody is ill that day. I would make sure to find someone else to do that job wether it is editing or filming. This is the best idea as it will still let us complete that days task.

Scenario 3:
Scenario 3 is if we were to get turned away if we do not have a licence to film in the location selected. I think that this would be the worse outcome possible and would most likely not happen but if it did, we would ask how much it is and if it fits in the budget, stay, but if not we would go else where.

Today

Tonight

The odd sharp shower or thunderstorm this evening but some sunny spells too. Turning dry overnight with some clear periods. Fairly mild.

Tomorrow

Tuesday

It looks like staying mostly dry through tomorrow with sunny spells but again, a sharp afternoon shower is possible. Warm again with temperatures above where they should be for the time of year.

Outlook

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday

Wednesday is expected to be largely sunny and dry but with a risk of a shower. It will feel quite warm. Mostly sunny and staying warm on Thursday but there will be a growing risk of scattered showers later in the day with a slight chance of rumbles of thunder. Friday is looks set to be a largely fine and warm day with sunny spells

As the video will be shot off site, I have thought about he risks that can take place.
Primarily, Everyone would have to stay together to limit the chances of loosing people. This would be a very bad situation and result due to our ages and knowledge of unknown areas.
Also, if using public transport, we would have to be safe and make sure not to get hit by cars, busses, trains, ect.
Finally, a risk assessment of the location that we are shooting at would have to be made. This would be considering the danger via people, the danger via traffic and also the chances of anything bad to happen as we would have a lot of equipment with us

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Professional film crews take health and safety issues very seriously. The line of responsibility runs from the Producer to the Production Manager and 1st Assistant Director and finally on to all crew members who have a duty of care which is recognised by law. If someone can see the potential for an accident and does nothing to try to prevent it, they can be held responsible in some way, probably along with their senior colleagues.

When filming, people have many things on their minds, things can get rushed, and risks can increase. Even simple things can become dangerous because this is not an ordinary situation. Of course, all of life presents hazards, but if someone is asked to run down a hill repeatedly to get the scene right, for example, the risk of them tripping and falling on their face is increased with each time they do this. If the hill is pavement rather than grass the risk of serious injury is increased.

Stuntmen now get paid for each time they perform any stunt, not just once for each different stunt. This only happened thanks to improved awareness of health & safety.

Risk assessment

The way to stay safe is to look at each shooting set up or location individually and think of what exactly could go wrong. This is called a risk assessment, and can be an excellent exercise to do with your students. (if you don't work with the young people on it you will need to cover it yourself)

It's a three step process

Identify all the hazards

Evaluate the risks

Identify measures to control the risks

Then put in place safeguards to eliminate or minimise risk. You should make a record of any risk assessment to ensure the students are clear on how to stay safe. This can save time during your shoot. Rules about listening to each other, respecting a chain of command, looking after equipment properly, and not rushing, will all help to keep people safe and happy.

'Hazard' refers to the potential for harm. while 'Risk' is the chance of that harm actually happening. Though some hazards might seem very obvious, people might still need to have them pointed out.

We have a risk assessment template (in Excel spreadsheet format to see the process you go through.

It sounds obvious - but you also have a duty not to put members of the public at risk

Weather

Extremes of weather are one commonly overlooked hazard. If you are filming outside all day, it is essential to make sure the crew are dressed appropriately. A lot of the time you may be standing around and people will get cold very quickly even in what seems quite mild weather. Layers of clothes are best, and get everyone to bring a waterproof and a woolly hat - they keep out wind as well as rain and are invaluable.

Sunburn and heatstroke are other outdoor hazards. Always have high protection sunscreen on hand and make the students put it on. Try to get students to wear some kind of sun hat or stay in the shade when possible and make sure lots of water is available to drink. The other reason for sunscreen is to stop the actors' appearance changing drastically and messing up the continuity of the film!

Time pressure

Rushing to finish in time is when hazards get missed, or people start taking risks. If this starts to happen, take a moment to calm everyone down and remind them: this is only a film. If you feel really pressured try to think of how to lighten the work-load: can you cut out some shots or set ups to give you the time to get the most essential stuff for the film without a panic? Or can you come back tomorrow to finish?

I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm

Other common hazards

Tripping hazards

Move or gaffa tape down cables and objects that could be tripped over.

Lifting hazards

Go carefully when moving or lifting heavy or dangerous things, ask someone to help you.

Camera risks

When a camera operator or cast member is walking during a shot, make sure they are comfortable with their route and there is nothing that could cause problems (a camera operator who needs to walk backwards for a shot should have an assistant to guide them and/or check their route).

Water

Shots that involve water.

Precarious

Shots from high up or near the edge of something.

Shots that look illegal

Shots might look illegal if you didn't know a camera was there. This could cause distress to members of the public &/or cause a police call out.

Film & illusion

Remember filmmaking is about illusion. You can act, shoot and edit in a way that suggests all sorts of scary things without having to put people at risk.

Someone at height can be faked by lying on the ground with the camera looking up at someone with only sky behind them, acting as if they are on the edge of a great height.

Young people often want to depict violence, with or without weapons. This can get out of hand and lead to real injury. The safest way to deal with violent scenes is to suggest the violence, or show the aftermath but leave the detail to the viewer's imagination.

Example: a scene about bullying. The victim stands alone, the bullies advance. We see a shot of the victim's face, scared. We see the victim's point of view as the bullies crowd round. We see a shot from a distance as the victim is finally surrounded, the camera tilts up to the sky, a lovely sunny day, birds sing, we hear the SOUND of the bullies thumping our victim. Cut or Fade to the aftermath, victim sitting crying in a heap on ground, or in hospital bed, headmaster's office - wherever you wish to take your story next...

The point is: your viewer will probably imagine something far worse than you could ever safely show. Get your students to think about examples from films where violence has been suggested rather than graphically shown. One of the most famous scenes is the shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho: very little is shown, but audiences were horrified and that was in black and white! (Obviously this exercise depends on the age of your students).

Young people will take extra risks when filming, usually because they are caught up in the moment and want to make their film look like the ones they've seen on TV or cinema. It is your job to be vigilant, listen to what they are trying to achieve and help them find a way to do this safely. The key to this success is right back at the start - PLANNING & PREPARATION - careful planning and prep will save time, money and heartache.

Don't let health & safety be a barrier. Look for solutions to problems, there is nearly always a safe way of creating the same shot.

Release forms

Before commencing film making with young people you should obtain signed release forms from parents/guardians for everyone involved; this should also release them for photographs (and get it for animation films too, in case you use faces in the credits or the like). And remember you might want clearance to go on a school website (or vimeo - think festivals) so these should be covered too.
A letter with the release form, detailing the benefits of the project will encourage parents to say yes to their child being involved
Disclosure forms

Disclosure Scotland should be contacted if you are enlisting the help and practical support of others on the film project to work alongside young people. Enhanced Disclosure forms will certainly be held by most professional filmmakers and project facilitators. To get your form visit www.crb.gov.uk.

Food

Feeding your crew, and keeping everyone hydrated makes everyone work better. If you organise food at a set time (aka catering), it is a good break for everyone. Food doesn't have to be fancy, a simple pizza delivery can boost flagging energy levels and raise morale.

In the music video, the producer would have the actors or who ever is staring in the video to match the lyrics to some actions.
The lyrics can also be used to create an emotion and a feeling that I would want the viewer to feel. This will crate a visual representation of how and what the lyrics mean and what they portray. This may include props but not too many as i said before.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, i want my music video to be an impressionist style. This would allow the cameraman, editor and the producer to be able to show their creative side. Also by choosing an impressionist style , it would make the video more dynamic and also cinematic.
Combined with the impressionist idea, i would use long, mid and mid long shots to create an image of what the character in the music video is feeling and also show off the surroundings.
Personally speaking, i find that the music videos i have researched from other college music videos, they tend to use close up shots and i think that they make the video look slightly cheap looking as the are hard to pull off.

# data[].attributes.body
Editing techniques that i would like to be including would be colour grading, visual affects, audio levelling, smooth slow motion, cinematic techniques, jitter affect and also various cuts.
These mentioned techniques will be used to make the music video the best it can be.

Colour Grading:
Colour grading will be used to make the colours in the music video the way i want. For example, if it is a gloomy day, i can make the day/scene brighter and more colourful.

Visual Affects:
These will be used to add detail and more character to the music video. This will enable me not to only show off editing skills but also enhance some frames with small details such as glares.

Audio Levelling:
I find that audio levels will prove to be quite effective. This will allow me to make audio louder than others such as music to raw audio/recorded audio ratio. I like the idea of recording audio to put over to push the video forward. This would be a audio clip of a car door shutting and that would be louder than the music, slightly, to create that extra detail.

Smooth Slow-Motion:
I find that smooth slow motion is hard to do, but i know how. Im not going to say how but it requires some camera skills and editing techniques and it will make the footage less messy and make it neater than t was before by a significant difference.

Cinematic Techniques:
Cinematic techniques will make the whole video look more professional and also a lot more enjoyable to watch. This is just some small changes but will make a drastic affect. Some of these techniques are just combinations of the things above.

Jitter Affect:
The jitter effect is a good way to match beats to clips especially in rap/hip hop songs. It is an easy process in which involves the screen shaking slightly.

Cuts:
Cuts are the way the clips change. You can add transitions but honestly, they look tacky in my opinion. I also think that too many cuts look very bad as well and i think that most videos that i have seen, in college production, can cut down their amount of cuts and it is very unappealing to me and also uncomfortable to watch.
In my music video, I will use the correct amount of cuts that i find very satisfying to how the video pans out.

My shoot would require:
A stabiliser/gimble
A tripod
A camera
A mic

The stabiliser would be used to get the slow following shots of somebody moving. This combined with still shots using the tripod will create two different types of shots and add stop the use of just one.
I would be using the colleges camera as it has great lens options and easily adjustable settings that can be chafed to fit the place we are shooting in.
I would also use a mic to get crisp sounds that can be added to the editing process such as car doors shutting so you can tell whats happening over the music.

# data[].attributes.body
For a set, i think that the contrasting settings will prove to be dynamic and also very colourful. I was thinking to shoot in a forrest and street. These two different scenes would look great slightly underexposed with colour additions here and there.

# data[].attributes.body
The props or this music video just requires modern clothing. Otherwise, I think that the music video may seem tacky or cheap if there are lots of props.
If i were to use props, it would be small ones that would not be noticed easily but would add that extra addition of detail.
