As there is only Rebecca and myself, it is going to be difficult to get everything
finished on time unless we specify what we do.
Jordane & Rebecca – Filming. We will both film from different angles, and film
different elements of the song. E.g. Whilst I film the band walking and lip
syncing, Rebecca films surrounding area.
Jordane - Lighting
Jordane & Rebecca – Putting the footage into order
Jordane – After effects editing. I am going to try and self-teach myself some
after effects editing, to add excitement to the video.

9. Summary
of production
Our proposal is too create a representation of the band which reflects their talent
and their artistic side.
Our music video for the song 'Matches' is going to follow a narrative of the artists
'finding their way back home' (quote from the lyrics) as well as some live
performance footage.
We are going to use a mix of close ups and medium close ups. We want to use the
conventions of close ups of the artists playing their instruments, more than them
themselves, and close ups of the front man.
We are going to use fireworks/sparklers/Catherine wheels and of course matches,
to represent the 'fire' of the song.
We are going to try and film in 3 or more different areas, to make the video artistic
and engaging.
We want to film in woodland/street/city/beach. We are planning to self teach
some After Effects techniques to make the music video appear professional and
even more artistic.
