Production Log.

Location plans.
For the location it has to be quite dark and dingy so we thought a good place may be somewhere like our friends shed as it is dark and is quite rustic looking. This location would be good because if we put candles in there it would give it a grungy vibe which is what we want. The good thing about this location is thta it doesnt matter what time we shoot in there because we will have it lit up anywa with candles.

 Another location would be the woods, maybe at dusk because the dark and dinginess of it gives it an edgy vibe which goes with the grungy genre. The woods also links back to our cover of the digipak which helps relate the song and digipak together.The bad thing about using this location is that it gets dark really quickly, and we will only have a limited amount of time each day to shoot. This could have a negitive impact on out production because it will mean that it will take longer to film because we have to wait for the same time each day to be able to film.

Overall we realistically need dark and dull places to film because this will give our video a natural dingeyness to it whcih will give it an edgy feel to it. The best time to film the wood scenes will probably be about half 2 because we need to consider the time it takes to set up, and make sure we save enough times to do reshoots and things.

                                        

Costumes
For the music video the costumes will be similar to the ones I researched about before, like the checkered shirts, black skinny jeans or baggy jeans, band t-shirts, tattoos, etc. Most of this we already have, so we can just incorporate it with what the people, who are in the video, have and just buy some extra bits from a charity shop or something. We need to make sure the look is on point as it is a big part of our genre and video. This is an image of basic grunge wear. these would look good once we have effects over the video as it will duo the colours down and add an edgier feel.

Actors
For our actors we used people we know who look like they would fit within the genre of 'post grunge'. For our video we only need four actors maximum because it is based around the lead singer and his story. These are the actors we are using for our video. They obviously will not be smiling as much, but this is a basic view of what kind of image this band has.

Planning

We are going to start shooting our rough cut within the next week or two, so that we have time, if needed, to change the storyboard, or some of the shots. We haven't got a definite date yet as its hard with the main character having work, and the guitarists having school and other plans, although we will find out some definite dates and add them to our blog.
