Shooting Schedule

Risk assessment - Shoot one

SWOT

SWOT analysis:

Strengths:

• We can use various lighting techniques in our band performance.
• Travelling down to Brighton, enables us to further our narrative and develop character.
• We have the costumes and the props to create a believable band.
• We have a song we can relate to, and will bring through a believable performance.
• We believe we have a strong narrative that will represent the lyrics.

Weaknesses:

• Travelling down to Brighton maybe difficult.
• Hard to meet together, due to work and events.
• Limited filming time, gets dark at 5.

Opportunity:

• To experiment with lighting.
• Creative narrative.
• To experiment with camera angles and shots during the band performance.
• To give a believable performance.

Threats:

• Filming in public places will be difficult.
• Will take time to get to Brighton, so wastes shooting time.
• Will take time to edit, so we need to leave ourselves with enough time to do so. 

Lyrics analysis

Someday -The Strokes

In many ways I'll miss the good old days
Someday
Someday.
It hurts to say but I want you to stay

Sometimes
Sometimes
When we was young, oh man did we have fun

Always
Always
Promises they break before they're made
Sometimes
Sometimes

My ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you want to stand by my side
Darling your heads not right

I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah I think ill be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes

Oh... someday
I ain't wasting no more time

Trying, trying

And now my fears they come to me in threes
So I 
Sometimes
They fade, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find

Sometimes
Oh my ex says I'm lacking in depth
Still I will try my best
You say you want to stand by my side

Darling your heads not right
You see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah I think ill be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard

Tables they turn sometimes
Oh someday
Still I ain't wasting no more time.

The repetition of "Someday', adds emphasis that the band are remembering their adolescent years, and wish they could relive those moments. This suggests that the band will have a fun nature, in the sense that they wish they could still be young and immature, conveyed by the opening line "In many ways I'll miss the good old days" and the line "when we was young, oh did we have fun". This line is followed by the repetition of "always" further portraying the band's lust for the past. This song also focuses on a break-up, and contrast to the earlier feel to the song, the band seem more mature over this issue, by not getting back with the "ex" as "Darling your heads not right". This maturity contrasts the bands lust to be young and youthful, as they recognise that a relationship is not what they need. The ellipsis in the line "Oh...Someday", takes the songs meaning back towards being young again. The ellipsis creates a pause, as if a pause for thinking and remembering the past. The colloquial term "ain't" also emphases being young, as this is a term usually used by the young, not by older, more mature and sophisticated adults. The four lines, starting with "And now my fears they come to me in threes", don't link. This suggests that the band are getting so caught up in the memories of the past, that it is hindering their thought process, and they no longer are making any sense because of it. However, the last line of the song "Still I ain't wasting no more time." conveys how the band have realised they now have to leave their past in the thoughts, and move on and just live for the future; a sign of their newfound maturity.

Planning Animatic

Here we are editing our animatic.

Props

The Epiphone Guitar: Conveys the rock image we want and has been used by other lead guitarists in other indie/garage rock groups. So therefore, it is a feature of our genre and we shall use it in our music video.













Bass Guitar: A must for our bass guitarist. It is needed to create the riffs in the opening of the song. Also a feature of our genre.

Microphone stand: Needed to portray the sense that the band is professional and conventional for music videos that feature a studio, as ours will.
















Microphone: Conventional for music videos that feature a studio.














Amps: Needed for the guitars, conventional to see in rock music videos where the band plays.













Drum kit: Conventional of a band performance. It is an important factor for our music video.
