Independent research: Covers of Let her Go

These are a few examples of covers of the song which I have chosen to use for my music video. I think it is a good idea to research into how other peope interpret the song, and how they believe it sounds suited to the differenciation of their voices. From this I can get an idea of the demographics of the song, as the main covers done were by a younger demographic.

Tracking an artist - Ed Sheeran

 I have done some research into an artist from his birth to the stage where he is at now. I have got loads of information on how he has developed, and how he has got to the stage of success where he is so famous now for being so unique. From doing this research task, it has definitely helped me to understand the different ways in which I need to apply my work with my artist, and the meaning behind it. From this piece of work, I have learnt that I need to research Passenger aswell and then make more of a story behind my music video.

Editing software

 These are all of the editing programmes which are essential for my music video and Digipak to make it successful. Each of these programmes will help me to improve my work from what it already is, and help me develop of my understanding from previous years of using them. I will be using them for different purposes, and therefore I have had to recognise the differences of what will be used and what tools in specific are going to be essential to the success of my music video.

Raw footage

These were three of my original clips which I had filmed to go as my introduction. I took it from several different shots which allows me to have a choice of what I want to use when I go to edit my music video together.

Production log - 11th November

Today I had a theory lesson with a different teacher, therefore I didnt get the chance to work on any of my coursework based work. However, I am going to be filming some more of my music video, continuing from where I left off last time. I am going to stick with my two actors of which I originally planned it to be, allowing me to be able to capture exactly what I want and the image in which I want to be able to portray.

The location which I have chosen for my filming today is in Callums house. I have chosen this for today due to the fact his house captures the exact look I wanted, with the vintage feel to it, and really carries a homely feel to it. I have constantly been trying to research into the sort of music video which could influence me and my choice of how my music video will turn out. It is a good day to film inside aswell due to the fact the weather is not practical for recording today.

Once I have carried out the filming session tonight I am going to upload this to my blog, for raw footage material, therefore allowing me to start editing and moving forward with my music video. I plan to do a recording of myself talking about my progress and my journey to clearly signify the changes made and how I have noticed this, adapting my music video around these changes.

Research of music videos

I love this A2 music video created by someone at another school. I found it on youtube whilst doing some research. The reason I like this video is because it has a very similar story line to my own choice of song 'Let her go'. I have already planned out my own music video, but I found it so interesting to look at the other ways people have created their own music video.
