Music Video Exercise

Today in class we were split up into two groups and were asked to reenact the first minute of the music video Tenacious D - Tribute. The reason for the exercise was to ensure that we knew the reasons behind the different camera angles and shots used in the music video.

Planning - Lesson 1

Yesterday was the start of the planning stage for my project. In class I told the rest of the class my ideas for my film. I told the rest of the class that my film was going to be of the urban drama genre. I told the class that my film was not going to be a typical gang shooting and drug dealing film, I wanted to make my film unique and different. My idea for the basic plot is basically about a teenager who has left a gang due to the shooting of his brother and seeking retribution and justice for his brothers death. Also we would witness the when the brother was killed and when the main actor finds the killer. I told the class my ideas and the majority of them liked my idea but told me that the type of music i would use is key. They also suggested that I have a clear mindset of my target audience, the actors I am going to use and the locations. This is my main idea and i am still open to chop and change idea if i feel a different scene will work with the scenario.
