\n\nAdam will film a music video for the band CALI in a TV studio on December 3rd, 2011. He plans to film the band doing a staged performance of their song "I think you should dress less" in front of a white background with black floor. Adam will use different camera angles and shots to focus on each band member during instrumental and vocal parts. The video will be influenced by other bands' music videos filmed in simple, white studio settings. Adam needs to borrow two HD cameras from the TV studio where he will film from 9am to 12-1pm on the scheduled date.

3. Studio-shoot ideas:
I have many ideas for my shoot, most have been influenced by other music videos I
have seen, I will be looking to film a typical post hard-core video, in a white studio,
with bright lights focused on the bands. The song will be a key aspect to the video,
as a prominent part of the song plays I will focus on that band member, for
example a vocal solo, I will cut different angles of the singer singing the lyrics. Or a
guitarist performing a solo within the song, I would cut different angles of his
guitar and fingers playing, along with mid shots of him holding the guitar. I have
the idea of this being a staged performance, but I would also like to give the band a
lot of freedom, allowing them to flow with the track, and perform how they would
to an audience. This again relates to the post hard-core style the band have
adopted. I will be focusing a lot on the drummer ‘Liam’ from ’CALI’, as he has many
prominent drumming parts, so I will cut different angles together of him
performing them. I'm also looking to have many zoomed out shots of the band
playing together to the song, so you can see the space they are playing in. The vide
will be in a small TV studio at city college, with a white background glistening
behind the band, and a matt black floor. The lights will be visible on the ceiling
throughout, but I like this as it adds a sense of professionalism to the shoot, as if
this is where the band plays daily to practise. So there is a small idea of some of
the shoot ideas I already have for my music video.

4. Where and when you will be filming:
I will be filming my music video in the TV studio
at CCN (City College Norwich), using nothing but
a white background with black floor, this will
create the effect I desire for my video, making
the body's stand out distinctively. I will be
filming around 9am on the 3rd of December
2011. This will take half a day to film, as I aim to
be finished by 12-1 in the afternoon, then spend
the rest of the day editing.

- The last time luke says the finishing line at 3:58 cut the shot quickly to a shot of the whole band, almost stationary not playing a thing letting

6. Stylistic Influences and inspiration:
The first video I gained inspiration from was from a band called the ‘Architects’, they shot there video for the song ‘Always’ in the
exact style I'm looking to shoot mine, in a small studio that is completely white and lit, making it a strong influence for my work -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42saK4s5kHQ
This next song is from a local band called ‘Many Things Untold’, who did a similar thing to what the ‘Architects’ did, they shot
there video in a white studio, keeping it simple and bland with the colours, I like this idea and will be looking to achieve similar
results with my work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qdskN_J2CY
Here is another video filmed in a similar style by a band called ‘Gallows’, although a lot of editing has gone into this video, making
it slow mo for a percentage of it, to gain an eerie effect of the band members instruments, a punk style adopted by many bands. A
key difference with this video is the background of the studio, its black and not white like the other videos I have studied for
inspiration - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hvF3mDOmSo&feature=related
This band is called ‘Heart In Hand’, and they have adopted the staged performance style I will be setting my band up in, but they
have set their video up in a forest, with all their instruments, making it much more unique to what other bands do -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z293tG4-488
This video is set up a bit differently as there is more of a story going on around the staged performance, but I love the way the
staged performance is shot of the band. The band is called ‘Stick To Your Guns’ -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbWPydEzyb0&feature=related
Here is a video from a band called ‘While She Sleeps’ performing there hit song ‘Crows’, this video is similar to the last 2 I have put
on as influences, as it’s a staged performance, but its been filmed outside in a dank house that has been smashed down, so they
are performing in front of a ruin. This is influential for how the band are set up, its so well done -
