Comparing Blogs ...

To get some inspiration and compare my blogs to someone else's, i visited longroadmedia.blogspot.com and looked through several blogs of theirs. There was a category for blogs of the week so i looked through them as they would be the best ones to get ideas from to implement into my blog.

How are theirs better?

- There blog posts are usually alot longer than mine and have a better explanation of things.

- They have done more separate pieces of work and posted things which i do not think would be necessary to add.

- They have done more location research, and included maps and weather forecasts for the days they are filming.

How are mine better?

- Mine have all the essential information, sometimes the other blogs have to much information and little details that are not needed.

Galvanize...

"Galvanize" is a song by British electronic duo The Chemical Brothers and the first single released from their 2005 album Push the Button. It was released a week before the album's release and peaked at number 3 in the UK charts. We have decided to use this song instead of our old one as we have changed our mind about how we feel about it and did not like the lyrics on further reflection.

Location Research...

We have though about filming part of our music video on a beach, we believe that with some editing and visual effects we can make this setting suit our chosen genre of 'Big Beat' well. I think that this will be a good place to film as it is different to what other people will be doing and where they will be filming and we can get some good shots of different times of day - for example, sunrise and sunset

This is a shot of the beach at sunset, all the colours are darker and give a completely different, more sinister mood than in the day time.

This gives an entirely different feel to the scene and this is more happy and bright, depending on the mood of the song we can choose to use a scene like this - or the picture before.

This may be a nice background for a green screen effect, with the subjects standing in front of the sea lip syncing.

Thisis another shot where we could stand on the beach lip syncing to 'Galvanize'.
