Health and Safety considerations

Health and safety considerations that i have taken care off is that i hav'nt filmed anywhere which may cause harm to anyone who is with me helping do the music video. I have asked for their consent and they have said yes to help me. I have made sure that all hazards have been removed from filming and that any potential hazards have been stopped.

How the digi pak needs to look

ideas for my magazine advertisement

Another one from photoshop, i like how the writing is on the wall, as it if was graffiti, its in red as it is a deep and angry colour, the man has his head in his hands, he is alone, he only has his thoughts to deal with, the thoughts on him are next to him, this is everything about him, and its also the name of the song.

This is one i did my self on photoshop, i like the idea a man looking down, depressed, with the writing in different angles, meaning that thoughts are going through his head in all directions.

This is the magazine advertisement for the sex pistols, it has the great britain flag behind it and the major words in a bolder font, such as "tour"and "sex pistols", it has the major dates on the advertisement circled, as though this was someones and they have circled which events which they wont to go to. The advertisement also has which bands they are talking with them on tour. It is in black and white, and the first line says "anarchy" in the Uk meaning that the tour has no law.

Lil waynes adveritsement shows him stood looking at the camera and him looking away from the camera, with a sparkle in his hair, Lil wayne has money floating around him with a sliver casette player in the background, looking at though that has sounded out the money instead, suggesting that his music makes him money.

The first idea, i like alot but it will be better quality, i like the idea off the artist stood in front of a sign post pointing to ways, this shows that he is lost, or losing his way, this relates to the song.

This is an idea which is not detailed but it gives me an idea off how the advertisement may look.

Ideas for my dvd front cover

Here is one i did on photoshop, i liked the idea of him in a desert, walking as if he is lost, also the font looks like posh and if it was meant to be a poem, i like the way it looks old fashioned and dep and meaningfull, like the song.

The image on the right, is off a man who is looking down and depressed, this matches the theme of the song along with the writing and how it looks old fashioned with the shirt he is wearing. I feel it it should be simple but with a strong meaning.

Usher here i stand album, is classic, it shows him stood their, walking away from a car, this shot is a screen shot from one off his music videos, the album shows ushers name wearing away but the "stand" bit is in full, suggesting that it is important. Usher and the car are in focus but everything else behind it has been faded out.

Images of what i like from the internet, could use these for my cover. I particulary like the one of the man holding his baby, as it shows a sensitive side. The song is slow and soft and talks about his daughter. The image could show how he wants to be with his daughter.

This is lil waynes album cover for his third album, i like it how the artist has chosen a baby, with the same tattoes as lil wayne has. I could use this for my own dvd cover, for example using a baby, to show the daughter which is mentioned in the song. It could be a close up off a daughters eyes.

Target audience questionaire

I created a questionnaire that was simple to fill out for the respondents and that will allow me to easily define the likes, needs, and buying habits of my audience. In order to make my questionnaire successful I made sure that it was brief, no more than one page as I didnt want to bore the potential respondents. Also I provided instructions on how to answer the questions and I worded each question with clear language. I included different types of questions to gather general and more specific responses through the use of multi-choice questions for most of the survey and a few short answer questions.

I got a few responses for my questionaire, through people at college, most people didnt want to answer it. Next time, i feel as though i should email it out or hand it out in a different place.
Here are the results i gathered.
Out of the 10 people i handed out the questionaire to 50% were male. Aged 16 to 19, None had childen, 25% were in a relationship, 10% bought cds, 75% of the participants listento music often, 100% off them owned an ipod, 50% listen to rap/hip-hop, 25% listened to rap, 25% listened to rock. 100% downloaded their music, about 25% watch music videos, this was on the music channels which are on sky, none of them played musical instruments, none of them are a singer.

Synopsis

A man named Bob, has got nothing left, he is a failure, upset with his life. He is asking to god for help. Bob started to loose his way from a young age dropping out of school, hence the name off the song been "Losing my way". The video shows Bob doing his day to day living, and how it is affecting his life. Bob is crying out for someone to help him through this and make him a better person. Bob has never seen his daughter, this gives the audience some sympathy and heart ache for Bob as they want him to meet her finally. This creates the video to be a must see for those who are desperate and in need off good luck.

Ideas for my music video

For my music video i have been inspired by music videos which use a main character and it shows you his story. Justin timberlake hasnt done a song "losing my way" so i cant be inspired by his music videos. I have done a story board with my initial ideas, i may expand on the shots if i feel it will benefit the video. For my music video i am going to use close up and medium close ups, so that it shows more emotion on Bobs face. The first shot was going to be a establishing shot so that it sets the seen.
