This is my slideshow that me and my group have made to show our knowledge about the resources we will use when ,making our music video.

1. Unit 1,16,29
Task 5
Ben Karrass, Laura Hodgson,
Suela Elezi, Nikon Ahamed.

2. Resources - Audio Track
The song we have chosen is “Right my Wrongs” by Bryson Tiller. We
chose this song because the song is talking about a man betraying and
cheating on his girlfriend and him wanting to make up for his mistakes
but she wants nothing to do with him.
The lyrics are very useful and beneficial for us to use in our music video
and because the music is unreleased and the lyrics have a strong
meaning we can create a meaningful storyline and express actions which
represent the meaning of the lyrics in our music video. Also, this
unreleased track allows our group to use actions which we can express
through the music video because we will be using the cast to be the
actors in the video and show the story that the lyrics are saying and tell
the audience a story.

3. Resources - Sources of finance
For our sources of finance we need to buy props that we will use in
our music video, we have thought of a budget of £40 overall. We
don’t need to spend money on equipment such as a camera or
tripod because the school is providing us with all the equipment we
need in order to make the music video. We are going to get
clothing that matches the type of music genre and the lyrics
(storyline) for example red for love/danger. We are not provided with
clothing so we will need to buy clothing or use our own for the music
video. if we want to get to a certain location we are going to need to
pay for travel we will be getting bus or train to our locations. We are
going to move locations to make the music video more entertaining
for the audience to watch. Source of finance is an important
resource because if we do not have finance we can not make the
music video realistic and it will not allow us to buy props that we can
use to make the video more appealing.

4. Resources - Video cameras
The cameras that we will need to use are going to be panasonic full HD
video cameras. Panasonic v750s which we will borrow from the school.
Video cameras will be used to film our music video and afterwards we will
upload the raw footage on the computers to edit what we just filmed. The
video camera is very important because if we don’t have them we are not
going to be able to film and without filming we can’t make a music video.
When we are going to take a still image for our music video we are going
to leave the camera on a tripod so that the camera doesn’t move and this
is good because it makes it more professional. Also by using a video
camera we will have better quality and more storage than using a video
camera from our phones.

5. Resources - Photo camera
Photo cameras are used to allow us to take photos of things such as what locations we
are going to use, for this we are going to go to our locations and use a photo camera to
take pictures of where we might film our music video, this will allow everyone in our
group to find their own locations and then we will decide as a group what locations we
will use. For the photo camera we will be using our phones and we will put them into
our folder and decide on what locations we are going to use.
The camera will be very useful to use because in our group we can
practice filming before we film the actual footage that we will use for the
music video. Also, the camera is a convenient tool to use because as
we are amateurs we will need a tool that is easy for use to use before
we record the final clips that will be used in the video to make our music
video more professional.

6. Resources - Filming locations
We will need numerous of filming locations because this
will make the video less boring and make the audience
more attracted to the video thanks to the different
locations we will use for different parts of the song.
Location is also crucial as it needs to fit the target
audience preferences based on the genre which in our
case is hip-Hop/R&B.
Some of the locations we will be considering to film could
be a park or simply outside a shopping mall because we
will need a location that is public and is free to access.

7. We will be using Final Cut Pro to edit our final
music video. This editing software is very good
and has a lot to offer, it has way more features
than other softwares like IMovie and
MovieMaker. Final Cut Pro allows us to use a
HD camera which will let us have a high quality
music video. When editing we are going to be
using different features such as cuts and fades.
Final cut pro is easy to use and this is good for
us because we have not had a lot of experience
with editing.

8. Resources - Internet access
We need internet access because in the group we will need to communicate with
each other and use the internet to do research. We will also need internet to
communicate because we will need it for our phones so we can text each other
and to email to others the work. We will also be using the internet to keep all our
work in a folder on google drive, this allows everyone to access anyones work and
for people to modify the work to make it as best as we can.
If we do not have internet access, we will not be successful in communicating with
each other or to send each other work. Moving on, without internet access, my
group and I will not be able to do research or get the unreleased track for our
music video since we need the track to make the storyline and use its lyrics. Also if
we didn't have internet we wouldn't be able to download the songs and other
effects to put into our music video while editing.

9. Resources - Desktop publishing software
We will use need to use desktop publishing software such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Photoshop and Microsoft
Powerpoint. Microsoft Word will help us to create our script and the planning in general for the music video, in addition to that
we are going to be using Word for our minutes of meeting that will take place every monday and will be about our ideas and
thoughts for the week ahead of us.
Microsoft Excel will be needed in order to keep on track and see how much money will be needed to create the music video.
Photoshop will be another desktop publishing software which we will need to use in order to create our logo and make our visions
of our products.
Finally, we will be using Microsoft Powerpoint to create a slideshow where we will be putting all of our ideas about the video and
we will use it to create a storyboard.
By using all these desktop publishing softwares, we are going to benefit a lot as we will be able to vary how to present our work
based on preferences and needs. For example, if we need to write up or script or plan, we can use Word which will give us a blank
page for our work to be written on.

10. Resources - Props
When recording the music video, we will need to use props because they are going to be used when the cast is acting in the music
video.
Props are beneficial in the music video because they can be used in a scene to make it more interesting and the actor(s) can use
them to show a link to the context of the video. For example, many music videos and movies use props because they would need
costumes or equipment if their video has a specific genre. So, if the movie was horror, the cast would need props such as masks or
weapons to show the representation of the genre horror and they would need these props to use when acting in the scenes.
These two images show
props which have been
used in movies. By using
props, it will make the
scene more realistic and it
will bring clarity because of
the person using the prop
and why they are using it.

11. Regulations
The BBFC are regulating music videos, BBFC stands for
british board of film classification. We will need to make sure
not to break any rules from the regulatory board and this can
include copyrights too, so when we use the song in our music
video we are going to contact sony and ask if we are allowed
to use their song in our music video. Therefore we will show
the email with their response so they know it is not
copyrighted. We will also make it suitable for most ages so we
will be making sure that the music video doesn't include any
use of drugs, offensive language or sex scenes.

12. Regulations
Regulatory bodies are organisations that supervise the content of specific media
industries and aim to safeguard the public from offensive/sexual content. BBFC in
particular (British Board Of Film Classification)work on safeguarding and their
mission is to:
- Protect the public and especially children, from content that might raise harm
risks
- Empower the public, especially parents to make informed viewing choices
- Responding to and reflect changing social attitudes towards media content
through proactive public consultation and research
They are doing this to music videos to ensure the safety of children when watching
them. BBFC are also relegating music websites such as VEVO and youtube.

13. Time
Time is crucial in making the music video because we will need to set a day
and arrange times for us to meet so we can make the music video quickly and
on time so it will be finished and ready before the deadline set by our
teacher/examiner. We also need to make sure we don't waste any time as
editing is going to take a long time and we don't want to go over our deadline;
to make sure we don't miss our deadline we are all going to work together and
do as much as we can in the limit of time we have.
Apart from deadlines, time is also crucial as during filming we need to time
ourself properly in order to act properly based on the beat of the song so that
then it’s easier to edit. Also, by having free lessons, it gives use to time to catch
up on work that maybe one of us have missed or it gives us time to finish off
our work before the deadline.

14. Contributors
Crew - behind the camera & Cast - in front of camera
We will need to contribute in the music video because we will need people to be the cast
and others to be the crew, although, the people in our group are all part of the crew and
some of us may be part of the cast as they will be acting so that we can have different people
doing different jobs in order to make the music video happen, also by having two different
groups, cast and crew, people will be able to go and do their jobs and save time by having
people doing different specific things. Not having specific jobs means that people in our
group will not know what to do and this will lose us more time when we could be doing
other things, so the cast and crew are important because they let everyone know what to do
and this will allow us to get in with our work and for people to do their jobs that needs to be
done.
