group meeting

Group meeting Septmeber 14th all group members present

Through the group discussion we looked at the prospects of making a music video or a short film. In our group discussion we were trying to generate some key ideas for either project of a small film or a music video. When we were contemplating the short film we wanted it to be based loosely around a comedy so we spent some time trying to find some witty jokes on the internet and trying to come up with an idea where we can incorporate the joke into a five minute film.
Problems occurred when the jokes we found weren’t suitable for film production or the jokes themselves weren’t funny enough to be made into a short film.
We then had a look at the prospects of making a music video we were able to generate better initial ideas. Through the group discussion we found this project to have the most potential.

For the music video we thought of using clips of videos we have already collected from previous gigs and festivals, we thought we could join these clips together and produce a live performance of a chosen band but we found our footage to be quite shaky which will be too inappropriate for a professional looking film.
Over the summer just gone, members of our group collected footage of some of the highlights of the holiday for a personal film for friends who are going their separate ways. We managed to collect up to 5 hours of actual footage which we could make into a film with a song played with it. The song doesn’t generally need to be associated with the clips but through the clips we can create a story for viewers for the purpose to entertain. If we use our own footage already collected we don’t generally need to show any band members as the story being shown shall be relevant enough.

In the end we decided against that and we thought of a whole new concept of creating a desired band and filming a story around them.
