treatent
Treatment of Coldplay-
Us against the world.
I want a dark room
with a bed in the middle and a man lying on one side of the bed a girl on the
other side of the bed with and whilst he is sleeping she walks away and then it
will show a clock on the side with a time that has stopped as she walks out of
the room, Chris will walk in and start singing the first two lines walking
around the bed while the man lies down and just looks at the door, and then it
will cut to the girl walking past the sea front and the water disappearing when
he sings the third line and you will see a hole in the sea where the water
disappears too.
The first line of the
second verse, I want the man to run out of the front of his house and down the
street after her and while that is happening I want Chris to be walking above
the town on a tightrope see the man running after the girl who is dressed as a
devil, on the second line I want her to turn around and have a close up of her
bright blue eyes then a close up of the man running and then a cutaway to Chris
in a saints marching band walking into a building.
Then I want on the
first line of the chorus everything to slow down and then a cutaway of the man
running in slow motion through a pile up on the second line and then a shot of
Chris on the side of the street as the girl goes past and the man running goes
past him as he starts singing the last line of the chorus.
The first line of the
fourth verse I want Chris to be standing in a river whilst in rains and see the
man looking around as if he has lost her and then walks into a cave in a bottle
of Jack Daniels then a cutaway of a bridge with Chris standing on the edge
singing the third line and on the fourth line the camera will move around to
the side of the bridge with the girl hanging of the edge and the man running
and as she falls off the bridge into the after the man jumps in after her
Then on the fifth
verse while Chris is on the beach singing it will show the man rescuing the
girl and pulling her out and lying on the beach as they both just look at each
other as a time lapse happens of a few weeks over the last line and the sixth
verse.
The chorus I want
chris to start walking towards the edge of the beach underneath bridge and meet
up with his band and start singing
The last verse I will
show the man and women get up and walk together hand in hand up the beach with
the song in the background

Research Report Music Video
Research Report
To start off, i analysed different music videos to get an understanding of the format of them. what i was looking for was how music videos set out their story and what they include in the music video, for example if they include the performers during the music video or if they have a storyline behind the music. I was also looking at different music videos meanings and how they have related to the music video, for example the meanings behind the lyrics. What i also looked at in music videos was the different camera shots and how they would create effect and get across emotions this was mainly researched through cinematography and the range of different and unique camera angles. I researched different genres of music videos and looked at the conventions of music videos, an example of this would be coldplay's, the scientist and how this is an narrative story so the lyrics would link into the music video.
what i noticed by looking at Coldplays back catouglge of music videos, was that in a main majority of their videos, they had used different shot types and editing effects to make their videos stand out from other music videos in their genre. Alot of the the time their videos are narrative based, but include a small part of performance based in odd sections of the video. their wardrobe for each song varried, depending on the narrative, but they mainly wore casual clothing suiting their genre.
My starting idea changed alot in parts as i was looking more into coldplays back catoulge, the main reason for this would be because of their unique style of video, they never really had the same style of video twice. because of this my idea was based on their previous videos, so i needed to change it, and thats where i looked more into somthing they hadnt done with camera trickery or use something impossible in the video. Also when i looked at the genre conventions, i wanted to try and not use them to make the video even more unique to coldplay.

EVALUATION
Before I started the A-Level Media Nationals course, I had already completed and passed a Creative and Media Diploma Level 2 and also an AS-Level Photography Course. These subjects that I did in the previous year gave me some of the basic skills and also some of the advanced skills in Photoshop, Illustrator and the very basics in Final Cut. All throughout this Media Nationals Course I have learnt more advanced skills in mainly Photoshop, and also learnt some advanced skills in Final Cut. At the start of this course we where told to design a Magazine Cover. For this we had to take a picture under controlled lighting conditions and research a genre of magazines, which we wanted our magazine to be similar like. For this I choose to design my magazine in Photoshop, mainly because I knew Photoshop well, and I wanted to experiment with the different tools available. All throughout the designing of the magazine cover I was experimenting with the different tools and adjustments Photoshop had to offer, and the end product was suitable for the target audience with the colors, font and images I used. Further on in the course we started to get introduced to garage band, I have only use garage band once before this course and that was just simple importing sounds and moving them around. This time I was using more tools to crop the music and also change the pitch of each; even though this was easy I was still in the learning stage of garage band and figuring out what tool did and how I could use that in the future. I still haven’t explored garage band beyond the basics. Still in the experimenting stage of the programs, we where told to go out and make a film trailer for a film we had to make up, this was one of the most creative and productive part of the course for me because I could show what I can do with a camera and final cut. When we shot all of the scenes that we needed I then imported them into final cut and then started to create a film trailer by overlapping the images and using the different tools available on final cut, I could show a lot more definition and give a lot more impact to the audience by changing the way the video looked and sounded.
All throughout this course I do asked quite regularly if I can help another student when they get stuck, this is mainly because I have an advantage over Photoshop due to my subjects last year and also A-Level Graphics this year which gives me more experience on the program, I do like helping out because it does test what I know and even if I don’t know something I like to go over and watch what you would have to do, so I learn even more about Photoshop. Also when we work in groups we each take on a role that is very important to the group. When we where shooting the film trailer, we all pitched ideas and decided as a group which ones we will end up doing, whilst shooting the video the main roles where handed over to me and another student due to that we had abit of an advantage over the other students, I was happy being in charge and also being told what I was doing wrong, and then being told what to do. I felt like in the group no one had a specific role so everyone got to show there experience and learn more throughout the filming. I also have no problem working independently because if something goes wrong it’s only yourself to blame and you can put your full potential to work.
With my presentations, I like to give them a unique style to them so they feel more personal and I give my blog a personal touch, which is different from the mainstream presentations. My first presentation that I did was about my design of a new CD cover for an upcoming artist, I presented my CD cover and the research leading up to the CD cover, such as the mood board and my influence sheet. Afterwards I had feedback from the focus group that gave me both positive and negative points. Giving feedback to other students with there presentation is hard because you know them, but also it is easy because you can tell them where they have excelled in and where they haven’t so they can improve it and gain a better mark.
Deadlines are no problem because I am always on top of the work that is being given and in my frees and I am catching up to any work that I have feel behind in.
The skills that I am learning in this course can only go so far, outside this course I am doing my own research into different artists that use Photoshop and different techniques that I can use in the future, recently I have learnt how to create a 3D image out of a 2D image. I am also planning to learn different skills in my work experience coming up. Finally I learn skills just by observation, looking at different logos and thinking into more detail how they did that and how I could do that in my work.
