Applying For Permission To Shoot on London's Southbank

To shoot on London's Southbank you need to have permission from the private property owner. To do this I had fill in a form and send it to Film London. Luckily, we are a group of less than five people and will be using a predominately handheld camera, as otherwise we would need to give up to eight weeks notice and may be turned down. This is just a precaution, because the terms and conditions say that we would normally not need permission, but without persmission, if we are asked to stop filming then we must leave the premesies. I am waiting on a reply from Film London, although it says that they endeavor to give feedback within three working days, hopefully giving me an answer before the weekend.

Review one of the previous students videos that you analysed in class (finish)

The previous student work I choose to analyse is the music video made to the song naive by the kooks. The narrative of the story is linear and tells the story of a girl cheating on her boy friend which seems to be a bit clique. 

Audience task

Mollie is a 18 year old female who lived in Kent. she is a Caucasian student and her parents shop at Waitrose. in  her spare time she likes to go horse riding ,going to gigs and shopping.

she reads the guardian when there's one around the house but she's more into reading magazines like glamour and ok because she likes to be up with the gossip.she gets around in a car and carries around her iphone so she can listen to her music and check up on facebook and twttier.

 when she is out shopping she likes going to Topshop, H&M, New Look and River Island. her favourite thing to drink are smoothies. and she wants to go on holiday this year to either Ibiza or Thailand. the reason why she likes pop indie is because she likes to express herself.

Audience Task (Planning)

MOLLIE

Mollie is a typical 18 year old Caucasian female who enjoys going to gigs, shopping and horse-riding in her free time. She lives in the rural part of Kent where her parents would be B when classed in occupation groups. For her groceries, she would shop at Waitrose who are known for their high prices but is of high quality. She reads the Guardian as part of being a student, it would be necessary for her to expand her vocabulary however she does read Glamour- for fashion aspects and OK!- for the latest celebrity gossip. She would normally travel by car because buses do not occur as frequently as they do in London and the train would be a far distance from her house. A gadget she would have is an iPhone- for music and entertainment purposes. Accessories she would have in her handbag would be: LipGloss, Mirror, bottle-opener, wallet and emergency cash. She likes to shop at high-street shops like: Topshop, H&M, New Look and River Island. Her favourite drink is smoothies or anything with lots of fruit: 'Fruity stuff'. 

As being an adventurer, she would like to go on holidays in exotic places with plenty of things to explore. Ibiza, Thailand, Ayia Napa would be examples. 

Mollie likes Marina and the Diamonds because as it is within the Indie Pop genre, she feels they express emotions quite openly and has the opportunity to have lots of quirkiness without people feeling it is over the top. 

Audience task

Final Song Choice.. Marina and the Diamonds (planning)

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
We have chosen to use Marina and the Diamonds- 'The Outsider'. I think this choice is very well-suited because the lyrics describe someone who feels that they don't fit in the society. Being practical as well, it would be easier to portray the lyrics as Marina because there are only girls in our group. The lyrics were easy to portray and allowed to use our representation to the song. As the song hasn't released a video, this would be important for us to link the lyrics to what we connoted of them. 

Shortlist of potential songs (Planning)

The following shortlist show potential songs which we could use for our music video.
Marina and the Diamonds

• Girls
• The Outsider

Eliza Doolittle

• Mr Medicine
• Nobody

For the group these choices would be most relevant because it would be easier to organise and de-construct. The feelings discussed in these songs were related to the teenage girls in society today making it easier for the audience to feel sympathy and engage with the video.
