There are several risks associated with filming on location such as broken glass, hot lights, tripping over equipment, others being in the shot, and bad weather. Proper precautions should be taken like having a first aid kit, warning others of hazards, letting lights cool, clearing the area, and checking the weather forecast. Safety of the crew and cast is important.

Travin was chosen as the sole actor for the music video because he matched the target audience of males aged 17-19. By using a male actor to portray domestic and alcohol abuse, the video aims to challenge stereotypes that only females experience such issues and that males should not show emotion. Having only one actor allows the audience to fully connect with and focus on his story and experience.
What would I improve now I have feedbackLois Baker
The document contains feedback on a digipak and music video. For the digipak, the feedback suggests adding more color to make the text stand out better and improving the resolution of a picture. For the music video, it is suggested to add a beginning and end for better narrative structure and shorten some scenes to prevent boredom. Additional color is also recommended for the advert to help it stand out.
This document describes a series of 35 shots in a film or video, including various close-ups, mid shots, and long shots of a character named Travin drinking, smoking, walking, and interacting with others. The shots show Travin drinking from bottles and cans, being shown through a bottle, blowing smoke, opening a cupboard and taking out a bottle, pouring drinks, sitting and drinking from a glass, and having his hand held by another person.
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main music video product with ancillary texts like advertisements and packaging. Key themes of trees, eyes, and veins were used throughout to symbolize loneliness and connect the products. Similar images, colors of black, white and grey, and same fonts were applied across all products to maintain brand identity and link the pieces together cohesively.
Travin, the main actor, will wear clothes stereotypically worn by young adults that lean towards the indie music scene, such as skinny jeans, shirts, vans, boots, and smart/casual clothing. This type of clothing was chosen because the intended audience predominantly wears these styles and will help them relate to and engage with the character. Makeup will also be used to create a black eye on Travin to connote abuse and convey meaning to the audience.

Codes and conventions of indie music videosLois Baker
Indie music videos employ certain technical codes, symbolic codes, and conventions to achieve their distinctive style. Technically, they use wide shots and close-ups with panning and zooming to focus on themes, fast or slow cuts to match the music's pace, and vintage filters. Symbolically, they have toned-down colors and settings, lack of bright branding, and an emphasis on the music over the artists. Conventionally, they are around 3-4 minutes, lack clear narratives, have loose connections between visuals and music, and give little reference to the artist.
The document discusses similarities found across several indie album covers, including their minimal use of colors, bold and easy-to-read fonts, abstract images, and inclusion of only the band's name rather than the album title.

The document discusses plans for a music video to accompany song lyrics that depict alcoholism and domestic abuse of a male character. Shots of alcohol and drinking will feature prominently to represent the influence of alcohol on the narrative. While physical abuse will be implied, the face of the abuser will be avoided to make the abuser mysterious and distance the audience, sympathizing more with the male subject. The lyrics portray the alcohol itself as a personified abusive partner leading the male into a cycle of abuse and drinking.
Naomi Wolf argues that women are oppressed by the socially constructed "beauty myth" which pressures women to conform to a narrow definition of beauty in order to maintain patriarchy. This myth is perpetuated by women's magazines. Andrea Levy criticizes today's "raunch culture" which objectifies women in increasingly sexualized music videos and music magazines, encouraging women to see themselves and their power as only sexual objects.
Why did i pick the song between the bars?Lois Baker
The document discusses the selection of Elliott Smith's song "Between the Bars" and plans for a music video that would accompany it. The writer chose the song because they are familiar with Elliott Smith's style of music and feel it resonates with their target audience. The proposed narrative for the music video would focus on breaking stereotypes by depicting a teenage boy in an abusive relationship and using various visual techniques like lighting, camera angles, and editing to convey his confusion and vulnerability. Technical considerations are outlined like using dark lighting and choppy editing to match the sad tone of the song. The production aims to have an independent look without Hollywood production value given limited equipment and budget.

The document summarizes several theories related to analyzing narratives in media such as music videos and films. It discusses how music videos often illustrate, amplify, or contradict the relationship between the lyrics and visuals. It also discusses Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions that can be used to analyze meaning in narratives, such as good vs evil. Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory suggests stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, attempted repair, and reinstatement of equilibrium. Vladimir Propp's character theory defines common character archetypes like heroes, villains, dispatchers, and heroines.
One Direction has crafted a strong brand image for themselves. They portray themselves as fun, friendly, and modern through tactics like smiling in photos, wearing fashionable clothing targeted at young audiences, and appearing energetic in music videos.

This document analyzes three genres of music video: pop, metal, and rap. For pop music videos, the technical codes include close-ups of the pop star with bright or dark lighting depending on the mood, while the symbolic codes feature revealing clothing for women and non-descript clothing for men. Metal music videos use low camera angles to make singers appear powerful with low-key lighting focused on the band. Their symbolic codes include dark clothing and settings depicting hell or war. For rap videos, low camera angles and lighting are used to make artists seem powerful and mysterious, while their symbolic codes include jewelry to appear wealthy and aggressive body language to intimidate.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
