Equipment and Technology



 Sony HDR-CX190

In planning the making of my video and the ancillary texts, I needed to have a knowledge of what equipment and technology is used in the industry, and what I can used to get the same effect. I would think that in making a real music video, the would have a bigger crew thus more cameras, probably better/more professional ones too. 

I will be using the Sony HDR-CX190 and a Jessops Tripod. 



When closer to editing I'll look more into that. :) 

Band Name

Thinking of one word "modern" names, I really wasn't sure but I looked at lots of other band names and they were made up words or slang, and I knew I didn't want that. 

Name finding

To try sound modern for some reason I thought computing terms or something might work so I googled that and came across "Subroutine" I'm not sure why but it already sounded like a name to me, so I've decided to use that. :)

"Lofticries" by Purity Ring

Though this music is really different from the song I have, there is an effect in the video that might be interesting to try when in the editing stages of my video..

That effect of scene changes from person to person, kind of glitchy, melting effect, though  I think it might be quite difficult to do successfully.

Band/Song Name

For the name of the song I think I will just go with the obvious choice as a main lyric: "Strange Days".

I really really need to think of a name for the band to get on with both the advert and digipak. I wasn't certain on anything at the moment other than it being a one word name, so I asked some family members and friends to listen to the the song and look at the moodboard and tell me things it made them think of. All I have really gotten from them is that it would be modern sounding.. 

And so, I'll be looking into possible names in the next few days!

Moodboard

I collected images to help me map out ideas about my work, including locations, costume, adverts, album covers, actors and logos, I also added some general imagery for how I'd like aesthetics of my work to be:

More Actor Photos

I found some more pictures of my actor that kind of look a bit more like him.. so I thought it might be helpful to put them on here. :)
