Shot List

A shot list is a list full of all the camera shots that we would like to use in our music video and it also explains when we want them to be done . We like to use a shot list so that we are organized when it comes to do the filming. This way all the shots will be wrote down so that we know what to do when it comes to do the filming . When we are filming we will be bringing a copy of the shot list with us so that we ca get everything perfect . We may add shots that are not on the shot list when it comes to filming because of the angles that we may need to get but we will try to follow the shot list as much as we can in order to get the video perfect .

Shooting Schedule

Shooting schedule from jesshordon9

We are using the shooting schedule so that we can keep  track of what days we will be filming on and where we will be filming it . We are updating the filming schedule as we go along because we have such a big cast that we have to ask all of them when they are available . This means that it is incredibly hard to get an exact day until the last minute . The shooting schedule is a good thing to use so that you can look back and see what you have filmed already and what needs filming . It helps to keep us a little bit more organized and it helps to get everything done on time .

Character Lists

Audition for main character

We chose to auditioned Lewis Hodson because we would like him to star as our main character and singer within our music video. This is because we feel it shows some resemblance to the main singer in Madness and he also is an Drama A level student which means that he is a confidence actor and will be able to act well in front of the camera. We gave Lewis a section of the lyrics and got him to learn them and put him in front of the camera to see how he reacts because we need some one who will be confident in front of the camera. We also got him to mime the song to see how good he is at miming because miming is a big part of our music video. We gave him this section five minutes before to see how he copes under pressure as we shall be asking him to do a lot of things that may just come up on the spot and he has no chance to prep it.We also need him to be able to do stuff that will send him out of his comfort own which is why we got him to do a little bit of the dancing .  Lewis is a very confident actor and we have given him the part of are main actor due to his confidence and dedication and the way he can improvise in front of the camera. We also chose him because of his ability to mime is one of the main key things in why we have given him the part due the miming is the key thing within a music video if they cannot mime then there is no point having them  .

Target audience focus group

We found that they like our genre but they hated seeing naked people. They also said that they like the music to be upbeat and the music video to show people partying and having a good time because it makes you feel better and want to start dancing. In a Madness video they like to see old skhool partying, humor - people being silly because they said "I think that is what the band is about". They want the music video to have a story line rather than just performance based. Billie said that "disjuncture works well when it is done properly", they said that having a story line allows you to relate to the lyrics. We pitched our idea of having different themes in different rooms, Billie said: "if different themes are done properly then it would look quite good but if not then it would be messy". Vanessa and Sally both chose one theme. They liked the idea of having different eras in different rooms and if we could pull off the themes of Alice in Wonderland etc. then it will look really good.

Target audience interviews

We did an interview with two different people, one older person in her 30's and another in her teens this is because we wanted to aim it towards a wide spread audience with a mixture of old and young people . In this video we found that both of the people we interviewed both said that they like sca/indie rock music and they both hated seeing skantily clad women in the music videos . We found that both of them like a video to be upbeat and have a story line with a performance based video but they both hated just a performance base video because they find it boring to watch so we are not going to have a solely performance base video.

Inspirational ideas for our music video

Secondary research

I first of all found what videos were popular by looking on sysomos and found that music videos were popular but that videos with entertainment was also popular, this tells me and my group that having comedy in our music video will make it a very popular video and that it will get views . With Music having and over all view count of 99,160 and 396.5 favourites we know that music videos are popular and with the entertainment having a view count of 224,827 and 986,5 as favourites we know that if we make a music video with these things in that it will sell and get a few hits .












I looked at Linkin park as an indie rock band to see if the new generation indie rock videos are popular and as you can see from the results bellow they are, with 2,723,531 views and 33 million likes on twitter it shows that it is popular for the old and young generation. By comparing Madness and Linkin park I can see that the indie rock genre from the 80's and from the 2000's are both popular but the 2000's are more popular which is why we would like to modernize our music video a little bit to appeal to a wider audience .





In order to see if we should use this song we looked at the views that people have on the song so i went on Vid stats to find out how many views and subscribers there was on the artist madness. Upon looking at the stats we found that people liked madness songs as they have over 5000 views and over 70 subscribers . This shows us that this genre is popular and would be good to do a video on .












Upon looking at Madness music videos and others that are in that genre, it is clear there is an audience for them. the song that we are doing has over 4 million view on YouTube showing that it is a popular song and people listen and watch it .
Similarly The Specials- Ghost Town has over 2 million views . This shows us that the genre of music that we have chosen is popular and has a lot of views which means that it was a good genre to pick .
