Practice Shots:
These shots are taken in order to practice shots for our music video. These shots relate to specific ones we will be using within the music video throughout the different locations. We have taken these in order to establish and gain potential ideas of what shots match certain locations best or parts of the song best to match the shot type. All the shots we have taken will be used more often than not to help portray the narrative of the music video we have decided and reflect the conventions of the Britpop genre to the maximum potential.
Story Board
This storyboard is a rough idea of the shots we will be taking to make our music video realistic and professional to the Britpop genre. This is matched by a lyric sheet annotated with shots, props and edits of things that need to be done at the time in the music video. During recording session this is the plan we will base our recording off of to make use of time scheduled to record as well as for the editing stage with in the future.

These Dates and times are the set times in which we film certain aspects of our music video. This involves us starting the work at roughly the given time and the same the ended time. At the MEN Arena I recorded Liam Gallagher perform Wonderwall Live which can be used during the music video. Smith's field section involves an alleyway and a tram bridge which looks urban matching conventions. This is here we will record the band together performing as well as Individually. This is the same at Balmoral Road with the urban effect with a long side road exaggerating the conventions. King George's lake is used as a more picturesque location to get good natural shots contrasting from the cities of being artificial and dull to bright and vibrant at King George's Lake.
This post will benefit me because its purpose is to organise with the group specific times and recording dates so we can record the specific parts required on the day. This will be letter matched with a storyboard helping us guide to the image we want to create of the band looking as close to possible like a Britpop band.

Narrative choice
Narrative choice:
There are two choices we have decided to opt for. The first being Binary opposition, conducted by Levi-Strauss. This binary opposition will be working class, Rural Versus Upper class, urban. The reason for this is the Britpop genre being commonly associated with the working class and Urban areas too being linked as being working class. We wanted to do this to hep exaggerate the convention of working class and urban areas. We decided to add a twist of adding rural areas to contrast urban areas as well as create the binary opposition theory. This is will be apparent with the urban areas being dull and artificial compared to the rural areas being vibrant and natural showing the class difference. This is done to make a statement of class inequality.
The next theory is going to Barthes enigma codes. This will be applied through the use of the girl in our music video without showing her identity fully. There will be various shots of her but no distinguishing shot that is clear to see who I am singing about. This is because the lyrics itself can be applied to Barthes code. This is because song writer, Noel Gallagher wrote the song about a unknown girl at the time and him confessing his love towards her. We decided that this should be included in are narrative as we can link the lyrics meanings into the story line. This would add to the action element to as we tease the audience with close ups of facial features but not a clear image creating suspense to who it is. This would make it semantic to as the audience would question who it is creating mystery and debate. In addition, the symbolic link is the binary oppositions mentioned above, about class difference as well as not knowing how to approach the girl. He has the confidence to write and sing a song about her but not have the courage to speak to her.
This is a much needed post as this is required to help us construct our music video. This structure is needed to help us portray conventions within the narrative as well as assign certain shot types and editing skills further along the line in the process. It also shows are established decision of what we need to do.

Focus Group - Hollywood Demographic
Focus Group - Hollywood Demographic:
1. Do you enjoy listening to Britpop music?
2. What do you particularly like about the music?
3. What are your opinions on the song 'Wonderwall'?
4. If you've seen the music video for Wonderwall, what do you like about it?
5. What do you think is key in order to replicate a successful Britpop music video?
6. Do you think there should be a narrative story throughout the music video?

6. Do you think there should be a narrative story throughout the music video?
The aim of this focus group was to specifically aim it towards one target audience. I identified in earlier research that there were to main audiences, original holly wood demographic who are now in 30's or 40's and the current Hollywood demographic 15-24.
This research is conducted on the current Hollywood demographic and is used to help broaden our ideas and to contribute towards the music videos. These questions helped us gain an insight in what to do in the music video as well as what they personally liked about things within the genre.
To conclude this research is to help determine what should be included and used in the music video as well as our own ideas on top gained from previous researching sessions.
Survey Monkey Questionaire
Survey Monkey Questionnaire

This has been conducted in order to help develop more ideas and get an idea of what is appropriate to our audience as well gaining more creative ideas in order to make positive progress and complete the music video to a high standard.

Parent Advisory
Parent Advisory:
Parental Advisory is a sticker that warns parents that something may not be suitable for their children. The sticker is usually placed on Music CDs. This is done to inform parents that the texts of the songs contain swear words making it unsuitable for children. Parents can however allow their children listen to the music if they give them permission to.
This research was necessary as Oasis have had parental advisory stickers upon their albums before due to songs containing swear words. However, the song we are filming for our final product, Wonderwall, doesn't contain any swear words in the song where as others by Oasis do.
