NEA Planning Part 5 - Casting

Casting

In this post i am going to be casting the main actors and models for my brief on Music Videos and online. The brief states that the artist signed to Warner Music Group must include the narrative of a protest music video. Therefore, it is important that I include a diverse cast that represents at least two different social groups to relate to a wide socially-conscious, 16–25, middle to upmarket demographic.

Extras are also going to be used within my Music video. There will be a mixture of different ethnicities such as White/British, Black Caribbean and African to represent the diversity in British society and make audiences aware of the many cultures and ethnic minority groups that are present. This further reflects the movement of my protest topic of 'Black Lives Matter' by showcasing a true representation of what British society looks like.

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...

Music Video Final Music Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T66TEytSIkg Website Video Outtakes - https://youtu.be/sPkGWLy0H7Q Intended evidence: Intertextuality : In both my media products of the 'Music video' and the 'Video outtake' for my website I used intertextual references to help audiences denote the messages behind the products. For instance, the "three minute protest music video" has intertextual links to Michael Jacksons music video of "Black or White. For example, at the end of the video he uses multiple people of different demographics singing the lyrics of the song. It is filmed in front of a plain backdrop and all of the cast merge into each other to protest the idea that "it don't matter if you're black or white", and therefore everyone should be treated equally. Similarly I used this idea at the start of my music video as I also shot a variety of different people of different demographics. I also shot ...

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...
