NEA Planning part 4 - Location Information


 In this task I will be exploring what locations I will be using for my chosen brief of music video and online. The purpose of this is to justify the use of settings and what makes them significant.


First Location:




Hadleigh Castle:
Address - Castle Lane, Hadleigh, Essex, SS7 2AP

One reason why i chose the location of Hadleigh castle to shoot my the dance segment of my video is because I wanted to represent the contrast of outdated views against postmodern ones. For example, 
the castle was established around the 1200s where White English kings such as King John and Edward III ruled in parts of England. It represents a time of white supremacy, where integration of ethnicity and race was not at all common. The corrosion of the castle further represents that this idea has collapsed in our current post-modern era, therefore reflecting the black lives matter movement and a growth of a united society in terms of multi-cultural and demographic backgrounds. 

Hazards:
As I am shooting early hours of the morning at sunrise to symbolise the idea of hope there may be tourists near by walking dogs or looking at the historical framework so it may be hard to get clear shots of just the 2 dancers on their own. 


Second Location:



Harris Academy - Chafford Hundred

One reason why I have chosen to film part of my music video at school in class is because I have a diverse class in terms of demographic. Another reason for this is due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 making me unable to shoot indoors with other people. Therefore it is useful that the media classroom of G7 supplies quality backdrops and lighting to help make my project look professional and it still captures my initial image. 

Hazards:
One hazard I may face is whether all my class peers are present and willing to want to be involved in the project. Another is that the class may be loud, busy and therefore people may get easily distracted and not take the filming seriously. And one last concern is that most of my media classmates will also want to use the same equipment for their own projects therefore there is a lack in time for me to get everything I need to complete by.

ONLINE CROSS MEDIA PRODUCT - WEBSITE

Website Link  -  https://connieschofield24.wixsite.com/wonder Intended evidence: Video element:  Below you will find examples of what I wanted to include in the video element of the website: Intertextuality : part of my intention with the home page was to include an element of intertextuality that linked to the messages of the Black Lives Matter movement for both production and online. For example, the inclusion of the BLM fist on the website promotes the support to the movement. Furthermore, the convergence of the linked page makes it easier to sign petitions and learn of the movement without having to go and research pages yourself, therefore this makes it more easily accessible for all audiences ages. However, I would have liked to have made a template of my own alike the band logo/album, but couldn't get access to the technology or help I needed to help me achieve this.  Convergence : As well as the inclusion of a linked website to...

NEA Planning part 2 mood board

My Mood Board The NEA brief that I have chosen is Music Videos and Online which consists of producing a three minute music video for a fictional band/artist that are signed to Warner Music Group  and  two pages of a working website   for the band/artist . At minimum the brief also requires me to include a statement of intent to summarise my music video and how the content  I  have produced is age  appropriate  to a socially  conscious  16-25 middle to upmarket demographic. Throughout my video it is important that  I  also use a range of camera shots, angles and movements, editing, use of mise-en-scene,  characters  with different genders, races and  ethnicities and a clear sense of branding across both elements of the cross-media products. The NEA brief further requires a web page to promote the band/artist, at minimum it employs that the page must include original audio or audio vis...

NEA Planning Part 6 - Schedule

  NEA Planning Part 6 - Schedule TASK 1 -  Create a calendar that highlights your chosen production/photography/filming dates and activities.  TASK 2 - Why do you think it's important to produce a schedule of activities when working on a production? Name 3 activities you're likely to struggle with? What are you going to do in order to achieve these difficult activities?  One reason why I think it's important to produce a schedule of activities when working on a production is to make sure that you stay on time. For example, it will enable me to make sure that my coursework is handed in on time and up to the standard I would like it to be at. Another important factor of a schedule is to help plan convenient times for cast members and myself so it can be done as efficiently as possible.  One activity I am likely to struggle with is incorporating titles and graphics to my music video. This is because I hope to u...
