Questionnaire
We handed out this questionnaire to a random selection of people and they all had similar interests here are our results
1/. The main age group we were aiming for was 18-20. Most of our participants were in this age bracket
2/. Only 70% said they were interested in music videos
3/. The main reason for not was that they were not as accessible as people would like them to be.
4/. The main response for what they like to see in a music video was one that keeps the viewer entertained and one that doest get boring after watching it several times
5/. The channels mainly watched were NME and Scuzz however most of our results said that they liked to view the videos on the internet and youtube.
6/. All of our participants said no to buying music videos and they commented that they are not as accessible as they would like them to be.
7/.60% said that they liked muse
8/.70% of those asked said they like Muse videos because they are interesting and are always different.
9/. From our survey people would like to see a mixture between narrative and quick shots of the band. The narrative would have to be interesting and keep people on the edge of their seats.

Group meeting
Meeting 12th October: Members present Alex Williams (AW), Natasha Green (NG):
In today’s brief meeting we discussed what needed to be done in the upcoming weeks. Firstly, we discussed about our recent filming that took place last Thursday on which we filmed our riot scene and lab scene. We discussed on how successful it was and what ideas we are going to use when editing it. We were severely motivated on continuing to do more filming and editing due to our brilliant footage of the riot scene.

Meeting 5th October: Members present Alex Williams (AW), Elliot Smith (ES), and Natasha Green (NG):
This afternoon we discussed many factors that will affect our planning for our film. For our music video we have decided that we are going to use two locations, a Victorian room and an open field these are for our two scenes that are going to be used in our video.
MUSE consists of three male members, Matt Bellamy, Chris W and Dom Howard. We decided that we are going to use Alex to play Chris, Elliot to play Dom Howard and our good friend Sam to play Matt Bellamy. The reason on why we picked Alex to play Chris is because he is very tall and looks the most like him. Elliot is going to play Dom due to similar heights and body structure and this is the same reason for Sam to play Matt.
The Band footage is going to be filmed a Victorian room that is very large with high ceilings. This is because some of MUSE recent videos have been shot in large rooms with high ceilings.
As we are filming the band we are going to require a lot of equipment this includes drum kit, lead guitar, bass guitar, mic stand, mic and Amp. Luckily some of us play instruments so all the equipment is very easy to get hold of.
Equipment:
5 cameras and Stands
Red bulb
Torches many as possible/ orange filter
CD player with music
We decided to use 5 cameras so that we can get a variety of camera shots and angles to work with. The red bulb will allow us to create atmosphere and will resemble previous muse videos. The CD player with the music will guide us on what parts we need to play and perform.
By looking through at previous MUSE videos we noticed that they all wear distinctive bright coloured outfits that are different to each other.
Chris ( Alex) : White trousers, white top, black suit jacket, dark shoes and face mask
Dom ( Elliot) : Green trousers, white top, black hoody, dark shoes and face mark
Matt ( Sam) : Red trousers, white top , red hoody, dark shoes and facemask
These colours are often worn by Muse, the facemask resembles a previous video by MUSE on where they used facemask this was in their video " supermassive black hole"
For our second location we decided to film it in a open farm / field this is where we are going to film our protest. We have decided to film and create a protest because we recently went to the MUSE gig a couple of weeks ago and we noticed that they opened the show with a protest against resistance. So we thought this would be a good MUSE element to add into our film, we are aiming to film it in twilight. This will allow us to see if the camera picks up the dark or if it is poor quality.
For our protest we are going to use 18 extras for our protest, these extras won't be hard to get hold of as these extras will be our friends.
Equipment:
5 Cameras and Stands
Potential vehicle
Torches
We are going to use 5 cameras so that we can get a variety of shots which will gives us to lot work with and edit for our final cut. The potential vehicle may be used to aid us with our filming; we thought that we could sit in the vehicle and film the protest to crate panning equipment. The torches are going to aid us with potential lighting and effects to give us the best possible shots.
Props:
Hand Held Flares
Bonfire
Bamboo poles
Flags
We have decided to use hand held flares as we feel that this will look good on film and come across as very effective and fit in with our protest theme. This is where the bonfire is also linked in with the hand held flares. The Bamboo polls and flags will be marked with the resistance logo to mark our protest.
We feel as if this meeting went very well as we discussed a lot and are eager to get started on the further details on the planning.
