Model Release Form

This is a screenshot of my model release form, a model release form is where everyone who is going to be in my film signs it to give consent in allowing me to use them in my recordings.

New idea new song

Now that we have joined together we spoke about which song to use and wether or not to change the idea. We have decided to keep Laurence's idea rather than change it, Laurence wanted to keep his song choice and I wanted to use that song aswell I prefered it to the song I was going to use for my music video.





The main idea for this song is to use after effects to its potential in the first 57 seconds with an intro of light streans and particles that act in time and place with the music.

Joined Forces

Me and another class mate have decided to do the music video together juste like other groups in our class. We have decided to do this because for his video he was going to do a lightshow for the intro and my music video was a series of lightshows, so that is one reason to pair up. Another reason to pair up was because we were sharing a computer anyway so if we are workeing on the same project it would give us enough time to complete the project rather than half the time for two different projects.

Any planning and storyboarding that I post from now on will be based on his idea, he will be shooting the live action and editing it while I will be working with the after effects stuff creating the intro and helping with editing the live action footage.

Ed Lovelace

Today we had a talk with an ex LongRoad student called Ed Lovelace he has become a music video director since leaving longroad and university. I had taken some notes during the talk.

He was at LongRoad from 2000 to 2002 and he then later on went to Bournemouth university, while at LongRoad he was using the current state of the Mac computers running iMovie rather than the proffessional software we use today.

He said that the music video he made when he was at long road made no sense at all and that he wishes he had planned it out a lot better that is one of the advice he gave us on our coursework project to make sure that we have a good idea and plan it out well.

Bournemouth universty had a good choice of lecturers come to see them all from the media industry, they had at one point the director for Harry Potter and a guy from channel 4.

When he left uni he started to work for a record label called creation in London, at first he started to work for free just so he could set some foundations he then started to make music videos for The Gallows.

After that he went to work for a company called Pulse Films who do features films and documentaries.
