RESEARCH...

Ancillary Task 1- Billboard Design:
Below are two more existing billboards I have found, both in print form and on the internet:

I really liked the idea of a slogan. Depending on exactly what the billboard is going to advertise, I could incorporate this convention. The image being positioned at the side appears to be rather common also.

This is another favourite of mine, it is advertising a show of Beyonce's. For my design, I may also use the idea of advertising a one off show. I like the strip running along the bottom, making the information very clear and easy to absorb at a glance.

I am currently in the development stage for this task, drawing numerous designs as I experiment with ideas and these two examples have heavily influenced my work. Once my draftwork is complete, I shall choose my favourite design and follow it through- creating it on Photoshop & Illistrator.

RESEARCH...

Ancillary Task 1- Billboard Design:
My first ancillary task is to create a billboard design displaying what would be Vanessa Carlton (Melissa). Thinking about what I wish to incorporate, I instantly visualise quite a large, dominant image of Melissa. Having seen many billboard displays before, especially whilst driving, I already have quite a clear idea of the common codes and conventions used; however to refresh my memory and to be absolutely clear on what my design should look like, I conducted further research on billboards in general.

Immediately it became clear that the majority of billboard designs are landscape. This is largely due to their location and positioning; the following image conveys this well:

Here is a billboard image used in America, advertising the: 'Concert For Hope.'
It too includes dominant images, an eye catching colour scheme and is landscape.

This then led me to consider the colour scheme. Having referred back to our Style Guide, I already have the basic colours in mind: red, black and white and plan to include Gothic conventions, therefore I shall place greater emphasis on the font- ensuring it is also eye-catching.

After analysing further existing billboards, it seems their designs can go either two ways: simple and quite clean-cut or busy with every inch of space covered. Here are two rather prominent examples:

 

Simple, clean-cut.
This design incorporates a simple colour-scheme (similar to my own). It has a large key image, yet includes all the necessary information. However, there is a risk of 'dead space', so if I were to use this style, I would need to ensure it didn't look empty.

Here is the second example:



Quite busy.
Even though it is displaying three artists, it still portrays the same message.
It incorporates a large key image that fills the space entirely without using a background. There is an extreme emphasis on the artists themselves.

After listing several various similarities and differences in terms of conventions, I have decided that personally, I prefer the more clean-cut version. I think with the other, there is a risk of getting carried away and over-crowding the space. Also, the main aim of a billboard is to quickly convey a message and I think that to use a simple design will reduce the risk of confusion. If done correctly, the product should achieve its aim.

Ancillary Task 1..

Billboard Design:
- to design and create a billboard as part of your ancillary tasks, taking into consideration the common codes and conventions of existing products.

This design shall:

• display information about Melissa. (Our main character in the video)
• use the consistent house style formed by the group as a whole.
• incorporate gothic conventions.

Below is an example I have found, I really like this design and it has inspired much of the draftwork for my own:

This example uses a really dominant image yet still manages to convey all the necessary information whilst maintaining a simplistic design.

STAGE 2: RESEARCH & PRODUCTION.

Progress:
With Stage 1 now complete it is time to move on to Stage 2: Research & Production! Our pitch has been successfully approved and all those long hours and group meetings now seem well worth it. The foundations for the rest of the project have been set and we have a clear path ahead of us.

The research I undertook into the Piano Rock genre has really helped me understand what is expected from our video. It is time now to begin even further research into elements such as: codes & conventions and costume styles to ensure our video fully meets the group's expectations.

This second stage of blogging shall consist of research into my various ancillary tasks, research into different aspects of photography and the development of the filming and editing processes. This stage is likely to be the longest out of the three and also possibly the hardest!

October Half Term…

The Hard Work Continues:
I intend to use this blog as a means of recording my contribution to the project in terms of meetings, filming and ancillary work ect. During this October half term, I plan to begin work on my two assigned ancillary tasks: Tour Poster and Billboard design. This includes intensive research, development work and evidence of the actual production itself- which shall all be clearly recorded. Rebecca has now completed her Style Guide which I will use to ensure my ancillary tasks maintain that essential house style vital for the group’s consistency.

The Post-Pitch Meeting...

A Step in the Right Direction:
The meeting was eventually arranged for the very next day during one of our early morning (fortunately, we all have study lessons at the same times!) study lessons. Here it was decided that Rebecca should take charge of the construction of the Style Guide during the October half term. Therefore, we discussed several ideas and experimentations in terms of themes, colour schemes and costumes of which she could include. The purpose of this booklet is to ensure that, despite the fact each individual member of the group is designing their own ancillary tasks and will undoubtedly impose their own individual look, our work maintains a consistent house style. I look forward to see what Rebecca will produce as I am sure she will do a fantastic job.

In my opinion, the most important issue that needed to be discussed was the production schedule. This was very difficult. We had to plan months into the future and it was suggested that we stuck to a rather broad time scale, in order to allow room for the inevitable adjustments that occur with any shoot. But it was demanded that certain dates be specified as ‘available’. However, with some members of the group having outside commitments and jobs, I shall be interested to see how strictly the schedule is kept too and how much revising, re-shooting and alterations will have to be made.

The matter of photography scheduling was also brought up. It is vital that we complete preliminary photography as soon as possible in order for each of us to progress with out ancillary tasks. We intend to visit Mr. Ruck as soon as possible to arrange the booking of the equipment. In addition, the ancillary tasks were divided among us. This is what was concluded:

• Lily- Tour Poster, Album Advertisement & Billboard designs
• Rebecca- Booklet/Programme & Magazine Advertisement
• Melissa- CD Cover design
• Jennifer- Concert Tickets & T-Shirts
  * Together Jennifer and Melissa are going to do the website having both taken ICT at AS Level with Rebecca and myself designing merchandise for the online store.

I shall upload the detailed production schedule as soon as it is finished as a couple of changes have needed to be made subsequent to the meeting.

Feedback...

After the pitch, we were advised to have a detailed group meeting as soon as possible in order to discuss and act on the feedback we had been given. This meeting is to be scheduled at a later date. The majority of comments were positive as each of our topics had been well-researched. However, as our genre is a much more niche choice when compared to other groups who had mostly chosen to construct Hip-Hop and RnB videos, the main suggestion was to analyse more existing products within the Piano Rock genre, highlighting all codes and conventions to fully we know what we are doing.

During my free time, I decided to act on this feedback by watching as many music videos that incorporate features of the Piano Rock genre as possible. I hoped that this would help to familiarise myself with and highlight any commonalities between the videos so that I could share them with my group at a later date. Also, by taking note of a few choice features from these existing videos, it may make the task of reconstructing elements such as: costume, lighting or camera angles slightly easier in the future.

Videos I watched included:

Birdy- Skinny Love

An element this video uses, and I have come to realise that the majority of Piano Rock genre videos also include this, is that the artist (in this case 14 year old Birdy) is featured actually playing the piano. I think, seeing as we have chosen to pursue the Piano Rock theme, that we must at some point in our own video include our chosen artist playing the piano. I believe this can be achieved in two ways: our artist may be able to already play the piano- in which case perfect! We can shoot that. However, if our artist is unable to play the piano, we can use a series of close-ups and long shots, shots of the face and of just her hand (possible hand double) in order to fake it. Either way, I think it is an essential convention of the Piano Rock genre.

 
Coldplay- The Scientist  

I like the fact that the artists movements all appear to be in time with the beat of the piano despite Coldplay deciding to incorporate a reverse narrative. I doubt we would have a reverse narrative as I feel that may over-complicate things slightly, however watching this video has made me reconsider our artists movement in terms of matching the beat. Also, I hope to include a camera angle similar to the tracking shot used at: 1:56-59 in order to convey the pairing of movement and sound.

Roman Fischer- Into Your Head

This video is one of my favourites that I have analysed; I would love to create an artistic video such as this! I think every song can be interpreted to have a basic linear meaning but they can also have a much more metaphorical meaning and I think it is in the latter interpretations that really creative videos such as this one are achieved. However, my group has decided against the use of some slightly more imaginative locations, costumes and camera angles to instead use more generic locations such as train stations and local cafes. However, I still feel that aspects of this video can still be appropriately incorporated into our own- largely through our use of camera angles. My favourite shot can bee seen at: 0:53-58. I think its composition is great as the slow track & pan shot, when paired with the green screen location and moody lighting, creates a great atmosphere and reinforces the songs lyrics. I think we could recreate woodland locations such as this without using green-screen technology by filming in Frank's woods. Fortunately, our videos do have the option to use green screen technology and if we did, I would love to maybe re-create the effect shown at: 2:10-15. By matching his shirt to the background and using a light wind, I think it creates a very dramatic look, especially with the slow zoom-out camera angle. As our song has very dramatic parts to it- in particular the heavy instrumentals, this is a technique we could easily include. I intend to suggest this to my group.

The next stage in the production process will be to, most importantly, finalise our production schedule and story board to make sure that the group is working as efficiently as possible. This should not be a problem as our originals are already rather detailed. We also need to create a style guide (this task has been assigned to Rebecca) and decide who is to undertake which of the ancillary tasks; this shall be noted as soon as possible in upcoming blogs.

Success!

The Pitch is Approved:

We are ready to move onto the next stage of development! As a group, we delivered our pitch (as rehearsed) to both Mr. Palmer and Mr. White on Friday 15^th October 2010. Everything went to plan bar one or two minor complications such as the incorrect song being played as we attempted a soundbite and the fact that our work just would not stick to the walls no matter how much blue tack we used! But other than that- I was very pleased with the work that we produced.

Afterwards, we were given feedback in terms of improvement on our weaker areas, ideas to incorporate within the video and advice on our approach towards the ancillary tasks. Having made notes during the discussion, I am clear on what I need to do in the coming weeks to ensure that not only do I adhere to the deadlines set by both my group and teachers, but that my work is also of the very best standard that I can possibly achieve.

Below is a video upload of the entire pitch from start to finish:

We chose to use a variety of mood boards (which we intend to refer back to throughout the creation process of the video) in order to, collectively, convey the video’s general theme and feel. Together they cover:

• Genre
• Ancillary task plans
• A brainstorm of the initial ideas
• Lyrics
• Love & Memories





Initial Brainstorm





Our Collective Work





Ancillary Tasks Planning



Also, we chose to create a copy of the song lyrics along with the first draft of our storyboard- which we expect to revise at a later date:



Song Lyrics



Story Board: Part 1



Story Board: Part 2

Story Board: Part 3

Now that our pitch has finally been approved, I look forward to the beginnings (and eventual completion!) of the real hard work!

RESEARCH...

The Piano Rock Genre:                                                     
As I have been assigned the task of researching genre for our music video, I have decided to use the search engine Google (as well as several other resources including existing digipaks and tour programmes) to learn more about other successful artists within the same field. I hope to analyse existing media products in order to identify codes and conventions that we can apply to our project.

Our chosen genre is: Piano Rock.

Using Google, I found the term Genre to mean:

"Genre is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or culture, e.g. music, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions."

Information I discovered about Piano Rock:
Piano rock is a style of music which uses the techniques of rock music (often combined with elements from folk rock and singer-songwriter pop) to compose a softer, more toned-down sound. Piano rock songs generally tend to focus on themes like love, everyday life and relationships. The genre tends to make heavy use of acoustic guitars, pianos, synthesizers and sometimes saxophones. The electric guitars in piano rock are normally faint and high-pitched.From the late 1960s it became common to divide mainstream rock music into soft, piano and hard rock, with both emerging as major radio formats in the US. Piano rock was often derived from folk rock, using acoustic instruments and putting more emphasis on melody and harmonies. Major artists included Carole King, Cat Stevens and James Taylor. It reached its commercial peak in the mid- to late 70s with acts like Billy Joel, Chicago, America and the reformed Fleetwood Mac, whose Rumours (1977) was the best-selling album of the decade. By 1977, some radio stations, like New York's WTFM and WYNY, had switched to an all-piano-rock format. By the 1980s, tastes had changed and radio formats reflected this change, including musical artists such as Journey. The genre evolved into what came to be known as "adult contemporary" or "easy listening," a categorization that bore less overt rock influence than its forebear.

At the start of my search, it quickly became clear to me that Elton John is the most iconic musician of the Piano Rock genre and so I followed this lead to discover how this is conveyed through his music, image and overall 'look'. I found several useful images that could potentially inspire the 'look' of our video, here are the best:

The art deco look could easily be incorporated inside our chosen colour scheme or red, white and black and the composition of the photograph could easily be transferred to our own images.



The vibrant colours of his costume have lead me to consider possibly using quite eccentric costumes for our model. I shall put this idea to the group at our next meeting.

 
Other artists within this genre include Billy Joel:

His music places greater emphasis on the melody of his songs, showcasing his talents on the piano, rather than solely focusing on lyrics- just as our chosen song choice of Vanessa Carlton's: A Thousand Miles does.

So as to ensure that I get a more rounded perspective on what is incorporated within the Piano Rock genre, I then chose angled my search towards current, younger artists. This is where I found Roman Fischer:

His 'look' and music consists of a more similar Gothic style to what we propose to construct for our video. I have noted codes and conventions that I intend to present in our next group meeting that I think would look great in the video!

Images I soon found consisted of:

It is becoming very clear that the Piano Rock genre places a great deal of emphasis on the artist's piano. I shall inform the group in case this becomes an issue during the production of our ancillary tasks.

I intend to present the information in three ways:

1.) As I have read the information a few times, I have a basic understanding of what is included within the genre and so will speak about it during the pitch by answering any and all questions genre-related.

2.) Through an A3 poster, filled with images and other relevant information.

3.) I will also have written information on a sheet of paper to act as I prompt when I am pitching my section.

Overall, I have found this research to be of great help in terms of identifying exactly what needs to be done in order to construct a consistent and obvious look. I am going to try to avoid confusion with other genres by frequently revising my research and also the pitch to ensure our conventions are correct. I look forward to hearing what path the rest of my group feels best to take in terms of genre.

Preparation for the Pitch...

Our PowerPoint Presentation:

As posted previously, each member of the group has now researched their assigned area and put their own notes onto the group's presentation. We plan to discuss our own findings throughout the pitch, individually, and then come together as group towards the end to present our proposal for the video's main concept.

Here is the finished PowerPoint presentation, all that needs to be completed now for the pitch is our individual work. As I have been assigned the area of: genre, this shall include producing various mood boards, research into the genre of: Piano Rock, lists of possible other bands we may take inspiration from and a detailed analysis of the common codes and conventions found in Piano Rock texts.



This is what will be shown on the board whilst we are delivering our pitch:
In control of switching the slides is Alex Wood and both Mr. White and Mr. Palmer shall have handouts displaying the same information for closer reference.



For our Advanced Media Production, we have opted to construct a music video: Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles.' We plan to incorporate a black, white and red colour scheme shown through costumes, make-up ect.

 

Having already established a Gothic house style within the group, we shall use this throughout not only the music video but also the ancillary tasks in order to maintain continuity.

 

The ancillary tasks we have chosen to design and create are: T-Shirts, calendars, concert tickets, a website, album covers and various posters including tour & album advertisement.



Our target audience is: young adult women, aiming towards those stereotypical 'lovey-dovey' girls within this demographic. This is to be conveyed through the use of the main character's (Melissa Randall) fashionable costumes, dark Gothic make-up and relatable locations.



Vanessa Lee Carlton, born on 16th August 1980, is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her ancestry is of half Scandinavian and half Russian decent. She attended the Professional Children's School in New York City, however aged eighteen, she decided to focus on piano-playing and song-writing and attended Columbia University, performing in clubs and bars across Manhattan before being offered a record deal.



'A Thousand Miles', originally entitled: 'Interlude', was written by Vanessa Carlton herself and recorded for her 2002 debut album: 'Be Not Nobody.' It was co-produced and co-arranged by Carlton and Ron Fair and was released as the album's first single. Now her signature song, it became Carlton's breakthrough hit and one of the most popular songs of the year.



Whilst listening to ‘A Thousand Miles’ as a group, we analysed every aspect of the song and created mood boards consisting of our initial ideas through the medium of images. It is clear from their appearance which consists largely of red and black images that our video ought to portray both passion and depression, which are coincidentally perfect themes for our storyline. The images of both red roses and black lilies lead to the possible idea of integrating an army theme, merging it into the storyline in some way. This idea is still yet to be fully developed as there are a few issues with it, but if (as a group) we decided to pursue it as our main storyline then I’m sure it’ll work- somehow!



It is important for us to construct, within the music video, the motion of time which we hope to present through our choice of locations. Due to the concept of the video and the lyrics in the song (it was decided within the group to take the lyrics literally rather than metaphorically) we have chosen fairly everyday locations such as the woods, parks and busy streets. We did this in the hope that they would appeal to our demographic.



Both our storyboard and mood boards show in great detail the costumes that both Melissa (the main female character) and Richard (the main male character) will be wearing. However Melissa will be wearing a series of costumes throughout the video whereas Richard will more than likely stick to just the one. This avoids unnecessary hassle whilst filming and confusion for the audience as they may struggle to associate him with a British Army soldier.

Spread across a wide variety of media platforms, we plan to construct the following ancillary tasks: posters, billboards, a website, calendars, concert tickets, t-shirts and CD covers. I have been assigned the task of creating ancillary posters. This includes an album and tour advertisement and also a billboard poster. I plan to analyse other existing products and incorporate features such as polysemous titles, large images and bright colours.



 

Again, in order to prevent any time-wasting, we were each assigned our own individual responsibilities. If everyone sticks to the agreed deadline we should be fine!

 

A more detailed production schedule shall be drawn up very soon, but for now, here is a rough draft.

Available for us to use is a wide variety of camera equipment. This includes: the tracking device, tripod, jib, video cameras and the green screen. We plan to use all of this to the best of our ability in order to construct professional camera shots and a music video finished to a high standard.

Synopsis & Lyrics...

The Basic Concept of our Music Video:
During a group meeting in one of our joint study lessons, each member of the group voiced their ideas for the music video’s main concept. Although they were rather varied at first, with some wanting to take a completely alternate approach, it was eventually concluded that this should be the synopsis:

Having already established our house style, we were keen to incorporate a Gothic styling within our choice of location, costume and in some scenes- lighting. Therefore we decided to incorporate our main character (played by Melissa Randall) as a stereotypical ( and therefore relatable) love struck, emotional, Gothic girl longing to be reunited with her love interest (played by Aaran Sharma) who is currently fighting abroad in the army. His soldier-like character will be shown primarily through his costume: a combat uniform. We shall attempt to convey the notion of time passing, possibly through changes in the weather reflected in varying costumes, in order to create the feeling of an absent lover.

The video will commence with a silent opening except for rather dramatic, heavy footsteps and the scraping of a chair as Melissa sits down at a piano and plays the instrumental introduction. Echoing the song’s lyrics, the video will then continue with a series of camera shots depicting the slow progression of time the girl has spent without her love interest. Growing more and more theatrical as the lyrics become more and more intense and emotional, various locations will be used and quite possibly different forms of transport.

The core impression we wish to impose upon our target audience is that of remembrance, depicted through possible footage of Remembrance Day. We also plan to show this through a series of flashbacks and fades which may be edited into black and white to give a ‘favourite past-time’ effect. Together, all of this shall hopefully communicate the notion of: ‘love conquering all’ so to speak.

In order to achieve this effect, the construction of verisimilitude is vital which shall be a focal point for further discussion in future meetings.  

Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles' Lyrics:

Making my way downtown
walking fast
faces passed
and I'm home bound.

Staring blankly ahead,
just making my way-
making my way
through the crowd.

If I could fall
into the sky.
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
a thousand miles
if I could
just see you...
Tonight.

And I need you.
And I miss you.
And now I wonder....It's always times like these
when I think of you
and I wonder
if you ever
think of me?
'Cause everything's so wrong
and I don't belong
living in your
precious memories.

If I could fall
into the sky.
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
a thousand miles
if I could
just see you...

'Cause I need you.
And I miss you.
And now I wonder...

And I, I
don't want to let you know.
I, I
drown in your memory.
I, I
don't want to let this go.
I, I
don't....

Making my way downtown
walking fast
faces passed
and I'm home bound.

Staring blankly ahead,
just making my way-
making my way
through the crowd.

And I need you.
And I miss you.
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
into the sky.
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
a thousand miles
if I could
just see you...

If I could fall
into the sky.
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk
a thousand miles
if I could
just see you.

If I could

just hold you...

Tonight.

The TSBFC Have Spoken...

Pitch Date Scheduled-
After another group discussion, the decision to use Vanessa Carlton’s: ‘A Thousand Miles’ was cemented. Further research into the video's genre, which we established as: Piano Rock, saw several opportunities to be somewhat creative with costumes, camera shots and scripting. Several themes throughout the video were conveyed; in particular: a rather consistent Gothic styling. We decided to really run with this concept and encompass it as our music video’s general theme. Codes of Gothic styling we have chosen to feature are:



The group's chosen: red, white and black colour
scheme. This is to be incorporated into as many
aspects of the video as possible, in order to really
convey the Gothic styling.



We plan to frequently use of quite prominent roses,
be they props, white screen background images
or patterns on Melissa's costumes.

As part of Melissa's make-up, we intend to
have heavy, black eye make-up-
consisting of mascara, eyeliner
(pencil & liquid) and black eyeshadow.

This means that we will be able to incorporate the look into each of our individual ancillary tasks, as well as our overall video and pitch, in order to maintain that essential consistency between them all.

Also, TSBFC have issued each group with the date for their pitch. Our deadline is: Friday 15^th October 2010. A massive amount of work needs to be done in order to get our pitch approved but I’m confident we’ll manage. It was decided that the best and probably most efficient approach would be for each member of the group to research their assigned subject area in extreme detail and then report back to the rest of the group their findings:

• Mood Board & Location- Rebecca Barrett
• Vanessa Carlton- Melissa Randall
• Ancillary Tasks - Jennifer Surtees
• Genre- Lily-May Smythe

and then collectively, we are going to develop the script.

Once this is complete, we intend to create large (so that they can be seen from afar during our pitch) mood boards reflecting the wide range of topics our research has covered. The major reason for this is because sometimes during a pitch, it is much easier for images, colours and symbols to convey the messages it is often difficult to communicate in words, hence our decision to also hang the costumes rather than merely refer to them. Alongside this, we are also preparing a PowerPoint presentation with corresponding handouts detailing our plans for the website and storyboard.

The group is focused and aware of what needs to be done; the pitch deadline looms ever closer.
