This is the preliminary tasked we were asked to do, we were allowed to pick a song of our choice and create a one minute music video to get used to the style of music video filming. During the task, it made me realise how different it was from a normal television program or to a film as of each take/scene, he had to sing the whole song, so it would be easier to edit so that we would have a wider range of footage, so we were not limited. I enjoyed creating this preliminary task as it got me prepared for the music video project that I have doing now. I have learn from the mistakes that we came across during this preliminary and made sure we were able to over come those obstacles or avoid them during this project. We made sure we had different kinds of shots for example: extreme close up, mid shot and long shot so there was a variation and so that the audience can enjoy the music video in different angles and aspects.
We first need to find different type of locations that would symbolise the rock star image, "rebellion"as the locations had to link in with the song and the artist. We decided to film in London in South bank where there were graffiti and the city and loads of people, as the song is about a corrupted society so we tried to portray that as the image of the music video. We took many London monuments and well known places to establish the location like for example the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, China Town and many more. The singer playing his guitar is part of the mise-en-scene and his rugged clothes denote that pop/rock look.
