Filming in first person

As a group we are looking to film in first person in order to give out video its own unique narrative. Researching other music videos i found it rare to come by a video filmed in first person, which is very good to know for the group as we now feel we are pioneering the idea of first person filiming in music, as well as not being tempted to similarise are peice with other videos filmed in first person, basically allowing us freedom with our ideas.

I myself will be filming the first person shots, and personally i feel it is better to minimalise cuts if neccessary as its takes away from the narrative style.
I have also looked into how to master first person shooting, and i found it works well to never keep the camera at straight angle for too long or straight angle turns, as the whole point of the style of filming is to give it a naturalistic film. Personally i feel i pulled of this style of filming very well with help from group members.

Group meeting

Just an update:
We met up to discuss how we are going to start our group blog and how we can make the work load even,maximising indivisual contribution as well as not forcing all work load upon one person. we found that it is best to just blog once or twice a week each, and if possible to communicate with at least one memeber of the group to go through ideas of the post and whether it is seen as relevent. We believe that this will make the work even and will make our group blog have many posts.

Making our artist look like a star

This is where research into my star model really paid off. To keep our artist, B Money,looking like a star and have a somewhat fame feel towards him, we have give him a specific 'look', just as most artists have in order to differentiate themselves to other artists and in turn start their own trends.. Kid Cudi in particular has his own image and he sticks to it where ever he goes, his style is something we associate with him. An extreme case of this would be Lady Gaga who is very much extreme when it comes to her choice in clothing and her style. We have given our artist a unique style with the clothes he wears, as the song Magic has an indie artist and a Hip-Hop rapper, which gives us freedom on what look we want for him. In this case we wish to keep him looking youthful yet a sense of status in the music industry so he doesn’t have a ‘newcomer’ look but a look that says to the audience he knows what he’s doing and his is no weak character.
