Amendment of concept 2

After the main character passes our artist busking on the street we keep cutting back to him in increasinly unusual locations. Such as the dark room and places the main character has or will visit. We have made this amendment to promote our artist by selling him to our target audience. This will be done by the association between indie culture which originated as unsigned bands. The indie culture appeals to our target audience, which is predominantly between the ages of between 13 and 25.

This is a photo of the first shot we've recorded on our storyboard

Posted By Sid Charity



















The 1st, 2nd, 4th and last photo on this post all have something in common. They all use perspective to create appeal. The 4th and last use a contrast of subtle colours to make the image stronger. All the images above are possoble locations for when the main actor's cycling and stalking the love interest. As well as this, they could be used for when the main character's walking around the street with the band following.

These are more possible locations for the street scenes. The fact they're in black and white is beneficial because we plan to shoot the street scenes like this. Therefore, we will gain a better sense of the aesthetics of our video.

This shot has a powerful perspective and uses the compositional rule of thirds. The main subject (the tower block) is 1/3 from the left, which the eye is more naturaly drawn to. The lampost adds a contrast of form, it being thin and tall as opposed to the rest of the forms that are short and bulky. It's highlighted becasue it's offset by the light sky which contrasts to it. This could be used for most parts of the narrative. It could be used for the beggining section or when the main character's following the love interest.

This shot was chosen to add variety and invest interest with an experimental technique. This location will be used when the main character is alone cycling or taking pictures.



This location was chosen becasue it can be shot from a high angle, this will add shot variety and will portray the main characters sadness.





We're planning to use this location when the main character is taking photos. For aesthetical appeal, he will sit on the rock and echo the form of the sculpture.

This photo contrasts to the rest of the location shots so far. It's full of foliage instead of mostly concrete streets. However, it will stil be shot in black and whote and will have dull undertones, similar to the rest. This shot will be used in the begining section of the video as one of the locations for the singer following the main actor.





This location has bland subject matter but is aesthetically interesting nevertheless. It incorporates several elements. Including, the brick wall with the white strip at the bottom, the meatal gates and foliage with wooden board behind. This bland variety contrasts witht the foliage, trees and sky, making a balanced framing.



This location is aesthetically graphic because of the perspective and contrast between the caged bridge and the sky (in this case blue.) It also lends itself to cityscapes in the background becasue of the high vantage point, this also allows us to incorporate a moving train and the people on the platform as a point of interest. It's suitable as a place for the main character to be walking or cycling and/or taking pictures. The fact it's narrow could make an edgy shot of him cycling on it.
