- 3. RESEARCH Our audience ispredominantly 16-18 year old males from York. Our audience also interact with lots of music content. They listen to music, watch music videos and interact with other content involving music. We are creating a content social media platform for music, why and how young people engage with it. How music affects them and where this comes from. It will also look at how young people react and engage with art. These elements will be tangible and will connect with this audience. We will make a space for them to enjoy this content and share their thoughts and ideas.

- 5. IDEA GENERATION After analysingall my ideas, I have decided that I will be making the live band recording. I have chosen this idea because it would appeal to my audience better than any of the other ideas I had. This is because the live band idea is with a local band, and we have identified the audience as being more engaged with local bands. I will be using a 4-camera setup. I will have 3 static cameras and one handheld camera. I want one static on the singer/ singers, one camera on a guitarist and one camera as a wide shot to collect everything. I will then edit all the shots together in time with the music and make a live band show.

POTENTIAL TECHNIQUES TO USE Fourcamera setup Three static cameras on tripods and one handheld camera One wide camera on the whole band in the shot One static camera on a guitarist One static camera on the vocalists One camera on a gimbal Forward gimbal movements Half orbit gimbal movements Jib gimbal movements Match the shots with the music and who is playing/singing Crossfade and dip to black transitions Logo at the start and end
- 7. CONVENTIONS OF YOUR CHOSENFORMAT/GENRE YOU ARE WORKING TO Live Indie Music performance with a 5-person band. 2 vocalists, 2 guitarists and 1 bass. Indie artists typically like performing live and showing off their own style and brand. They typically wear bright, stylish clothing that stands out and shows them off. Live performances also promote the artist as people. It will make the audience realise how natural they are and that they can sing well and sound the same when live. It takes a lot of charisma and skill to be able to play an instrument and still perform so the live performance option highlights artists talents in a good way and can therefore attract their target audience. There are multiple shot types commonly used in videos like this. For example, extreme close ups are commonly used as they introduce us to the artist and band members. This shot may be used to highlight the emotions the band are trying to convey to the audience. Wide shots are also commonly used to show the setting of the video and give us a clear view of the artists and their outfits. This is important as a lot of artists are seen as stylish and trendy. This shot also shows the location to
- 8. SUMMARY OPPORTUNITIES OF MYIDEA My idea has the potential to target a high number of niche audience members and can reach out to a wider audience interested in music or live events. This idea also gives me the chance to work in a new, professional environment and with different types of people. This will help develop my professional working standard and help me develop as a creator. Another opportunity I am gaining from this idea is the chance to conduct and operate a multicamera setup. I will be orchestrating a 4- camera setup in this production. There will be 3 static cameras and one handheld camera. I have the responsibility of placing the three static cameras in prime positions and in charge of operating the handheld camera, which will be on a gimbal. Overall, this idea has many good opportunities that can help me develop my industry knowledge and work.
- 9. SUMMARY RESTRICTIONS TO MYIDEA Some restrictions to my idea could be that there is only one handheld camera operator. This could mean that I don’t have a massive variety of handheld shots to use but I am able to cut to a static to fill the gaps. Another restriction I could have with my idea is mistakes/ problems. Because the production is live, me and the band only have one attempt. Due to this there is lots of things that could go wrong. For example, a camera problem could occur which leaves me with a minimum number of camera angles and shots. I would have to work harder to get all the band members on video at the correct time. The band could also make a mistake or have a technical issue which could ruin the video.
- 10. FINAL IDEA –RATIONALE I have chosen this idea because I think it is a good way to target my audience and it is good, compatible content for our platform. I think I will also be unique content for the platform that has never been seen before. I have skills in live production work as I have been a camera operator on multiple different events. I have worked on a food and agricultural festival as a camera operator, and I have also worked on other live music events. I have also used a gimbal on live events to get different shot types and more stable footage. The skills I have learned from these events makes this the best sector for me to work in. I am looking forward to learning some new skills such as, different more intrusive camera angles with the use of go pros and longer lenses. I also want to explore more camera movement with the use of a gimbal. I want to explore more gimbal movements and broaden my camera skills.
- 11. FINAL IDEA –CREATIVE CONCEPT I want to make a live music video of a band playing in a dark theatre like location with tube lighting strips and pyros. I want the low light and shadow look as it will be perfect for the band's genre. I want each bad member to be in their own bay in a semi circle. The bays will be marked by a tube light at each side with an amplifier in each bay. I think this will look aesthetic and will be pleasing on the eye for the audience.

- 21. CONCEPT BOARD DISCUSSION/EXPLANATION My conceptboard has lots of similar themes throughout the whole board. The theme is easily identifiable from my concept board. The theme throughout is live band music. There is also lots of mise-en-scene elements included in my concept board. For example, there are images with smoke and pyros in them. There are also images of lighting such as tube lights. The lighting is pictured going through the smoke and making a nice-looking set. I want to incorporate all these elements in my product and get the feel and theme shown in this concept board.
- 22. SHOT LIST -VIDEO I will not need a shot list as I am recording a live production so my shots will be mostly improvised. I can only plan a couple of static shots. One shot will be a wide angle on the whole band. I will also have a static camera on one of the guitarists. Finally, I will have a static camera on the two vocalists. The rest of the shots will be in a ‘run and gun’ style and not planned in detail.
- 23. AUDIO AND OTHERPLANNING Audio will be recorded by the bands music team externally. They will record each band members instrument/voice and then take the track away and edit it. The team will then send me the music and I will edit my footage with the audio.
