Ancillary Task

Shots and Locations Used

Performance Shot 1: Mid shot. We used this shot as
a basic performance shot that we could occasionally go
back to in between looking through the narrative and other
performance shots. 

Performance shot 1: Close Up. We filmed this performance
shot again as a close up as it creates more variety of shots
throughout the video and sticks to the conventions of our
chosen genre as they use a variety of shot types of similar
performance shots. 

Performance shot 2: Mid Shot. This shot includes me singing
in a more scenic setting as we wanted to pick a scenic
location to fit the conventions of our chosen music genre.

Performance shot 3/Narrative: Mid Shot (Straight on) This
shot includes me singing as well as using narrative
in the background. We did this as we looked at other
videos of our genre and a lot of their performance shots
included narrative as well.

Performance shot 3/Narrative: Mid Shot (From side) We
filmed this performance shot again from the side as this way
we could show more of the narrative in the background.

Narrative 1: This shot was of a girl upset, she soon realises
there is nothing to be upset about as she clears her face
of tears, takes a deep breath and walks out of the
bathroom.

Narrative 2: This shot is of a boy being bullied at school
by older boys, the boys look through his pockets and push
him against the lockers until he plucks up the courage to
push them away and worries them with his amazing
magic tricks.

Narrative 3: This shot is of a boy sat in his kitchen as his
dad fights with his mum. He sits and tries to carry on
reading, but as the fight becomes more aggressive, he
realises he should help to save his mum from being hurt
and stands up to pull his dad off of her.

We Crowdsource!!

As part of our audience feedback, we set up a facebook group to be able to collect research into clips that we have already put together and how the audience feel about them.

We uploaded clips that we already put together to see how the audience responded to them.

We set up a questionnaire using surveymonkey.com and set up a link to it on our facebook page that the audience can click on and give feedback.

Narrative Scenes

The above clip has been put together by myself and Will to show a scene of domestic violence in a home where a young boy finds it hard to concentrate as his Dad acts angrily towards his Mum. In our chosen video, we see a range of issues and problems that occur in life and how the victims of these situations over come them. Here we have shown that the boy finds it hard at home, but quickly realises he can stand up to protect his mum. This scene links in with the theory of Equilibrium by Toderov, where the beginning of the scene is content, an incident happens in between and results in a similar ending but with a different end result.

The above screen shots are from Katy Perry's original video of 'Firework'. We worked from these screen shots to create our own story board and shots when filming the video clip above.

This scene shows a clip of a boy being mugged. Again, we have shown how the boy defeats the men who mug him by stunning them with magic tricks. This links in with the narrative Katy Perry has shown in her own video but we have developed it to make it our own. Katy Perry has used the word 'Firework' as a metaphor to suggest that people become "fireworks" when they over come their own issues and problems. We have shown this here when they boy defeats the men mugging him.
