Story boarding

Today I finished adding the lyrics to my storyboard. All I need to do now is add the images and decide on the camera shots.

Story-boarding

Today I began work on my storyboard. I have decided that my opening shot and finishing shot will be the same as the starting and ending lyrics are the same. The beginning and ending shot will be a youth lip synching to the lyrics in front of a green screen displaying a picture similar to the album cover. I will work on the rest of my story board at a later date.

Idea For My Music Video

The inspiration for my music video comes from the video for Nickleback's Rockstar. I have decided to loosely base my video on this one as the fact that it is not a story video works well for my song choice as the lyrics don't really tell a story. The video is also entertaining which is key when making a music video.




I shall have a diverse range of people miming along to the lyrics to represent the diverse range of people who Israel Kamakawiwo'ole appeals to. I shall also have one person who will be the artist of the video who I will go back to throughout the video. He will be playing a ukulele as this is a typical feature of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's videos. I shall also film him in front of a green screen with a backdrop of a holiday picture to give the video that Hawaii feel.

Ancillary Task 2 - Finished Magazine Advertisement

Today I completed work on my magazine article. I added two made up reviews as I believe this added to it's creditability. I chose to use 'The Guardian' and 'The Sunday Times' as these two newspapers are generally used as their reviews are highly regarded. I wrote the reviews in black font as whilst they are important they don't need to be as eye catching as the title of the album and the name of the artist.
Towards the bottom I added the web address for the official website of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole as this is a common feature of album advertisements. I also included a picture of the record label logo and a quote about Israel as once again these are common features of music advertisements.

Ancillary Task 2 - Beginning work on my magazine advertisement

Today I began work on my magazine advertisement. It took me a while to decide which font to write 'Israel Kamakawiwo'ole' but in the end I settled for a font called 'Stencil Std'. I chose this font because I feel it is eye catching which is crucial when advertising a product. I chose to put the font in white as the font on the album is white so it consequently links the two together. I chose the font 'arial' to write the album title as it is quite eye catching yet does not distract away from 'Israel Kamakawiwo'ole'.
