Panasonic V700 - Camera

"Panasonic's newly developed High Sensitivity Sensor portrays brightly lit scenes beautifully, and also captures dimly lit scenes with crisp, bright images and minimal noise. It produces stunning images in all kinds of situations, such as shooting indoors and at night. Because the pixels of this sensor are densely aligned, Intelligent Resolution Technology can be used when the Intelligent 46x Zoom exceeds the optical 21x zoom level, while maintaining the HD pixel count for high-powered zoom shots with incredible beauty."

Study Of A Director

Aitor Throup and the rock group Kasabian first met in Paris in the summer of 2010. The band, (formed in Leicester in 1997) and the designer were both invited to the French capital by Umbro, for an event to mark the reveal and launch of Throup’s England Away kit. Throup was already an admirer of the group’s music and approach, with their roots and understanding of tradition as prominent as their forward-thinking and at times experimental output. He instantly clicked with its members at the event, where all agreed to meet up again as soon as their schedules permitted. Over the course of the following autumn, the band and the designer met up repeatedly, and Kasabian’s songwriter and guitarist Sergio Pizzorno and Throup started plotting an approach to combine powerful visuals with the band’s following album (Velociraptor!).

Aitor Throup is in association with the band Kasabisan. He has directed some of their music videos such as 'eez-eh' and 'Switchblade Smiles', story boards them and also designs their art work for things such as posters and CD covers as he designed the 'Velociraptor!' album cover. We like the style of his ideas as they are sort of similar to ours and the band is also within the genre of our music video.

His most recent video that he directed is 'eez-eh' by Kasabian which involves the band in a studio for part of it and then in a ware house in another. We have taken part inspiration from this as it has two settings and because one is being a studio and another is a different dynamic place it is quite a similar style we are going for.

Reflection - 15/9/14

Reflection on work so far.

Reflecting on the work we have done so far over the last couple of weeks we have learnt a lot about working together and as a team. This is because after the first week of work we got some bad comments on our work about lack of work distributed between the group and also poor quality of work we had produced. So, we looked back on this together as a group the next week and really thought about what we needed to do to get back on track. We started to distribute the work evenly between us all to ensure that our blog will show that we have all contributed a good amount of work between us. We learned also that doing different tasks at the same time allows us to get a lot more work done at one time with  a lot more blog posts daily and a higher quality of work between us to get the best possible grade.

After looking at a lot of different music videos there are a lot of different ideas we think we could use for our own music video. We learned that the music video does not have to have a lot in it and to be over the top to be affective. We found that just having a simple setting in a place like a studio to amplify the artists can just be as affective as an illustration or a lot happening on the screen at once. Amplifying the artists and their instruments is much more affective than an illustrative video if the main aim is to show of the music and the talent of the artists instead of telling a story behind the lyrics. So, as a result of this we have decided to go for a simple yet affective setting in a place like a studio to go for an amplification of the music. This idea has come from a lot of music videos that we have watched but mainly from the music video of the song we are doing 'The Look' by Metronomy.

After looking at other music videos we have seen some ideas we have liked but are not achievable. One of these examples is the music video to 'A-Punk' by Vampire Weekend. This music video features the band in a simple setting but with the music video being sped up all the way through but with the artists and lip syncing also being in time with the music. We found that this would be too complicated to perform and we also do not have the technology to achieve this affect. However, we did fine a music video that is quite similar with some of the video being sped up in parts but not all the way trough. The music video to 'Always Like This' by Bombay Bicycle Club features a fast forward affect on an old T.V screen but only in short intervals of the video and also at parts when there is only instruments and no singing so there is no need for lip syncing. We have decided to take this idea and interpret it into our own music video in our own way as it is much more achievable and not too complicated.

Feedback Analysis

After receiving this feedback from our teacher on our first drat of the 25 Word Pitch I could see where we had gone wrong after looking at other pitches. Also, after overlooking the pitch that I had made I could understand that the point I wanted to make wasn't coming across very well. So, after looking at other pitches and asking advise from the teacher we, as a group, decided to start all over on different software and to put across our idea much better and clearer for other people viewing it to understand.

This is the music video to the song that we are going to do. We are doing something similar to his idea with the whole band being in a single coloured studio. However, we are going to change it up a bit as we are going to have cut aways to a different location to make the video more interesting.


Inhaler by Foals is a good example of what our band is going to look like in the music video with similar haircuts, clothing and style. We are basing our band around Foals and other similar bands.


We are going to base our music video in a small studio room with all there band in for the main parts of singing, like the chorus, and main guitar parts. It is simple yet affective in the music video. It does not illustrate the lyrics in anyway, however it amplifies all of the instruments and vocals seen in the shots.
