Filming Diary 22/11/2014 (Problems while filming)

About half way through filming in my first location we were asked to leave the area by the police as people had been inside the building vandalising it so we werent allowed in. They also told us that it was unsafe to be in the building. The officers reviewed the footage to make sure that we weren't vandalising the building and after that they let us go. This means that I won't be able to continue to shoot my video in this location so I will need to extend the parts in my other locations, which shouldn't be too much of a problem however it will mean that I'll need to pay for all of my actors train tickets to get to the locations as they are close to where I live and not in Hull (where all of my actors live). Lewis said that because of the police, he didnt want to carry on shooting so I will need to recast his role. I have someone else in mind who has said that they will do it instead so this isn't a huge problem. Georgia couldn't put in the contact lenses so I had to make do with her regular eyes, which in the end looked good however they would have had a better horror film visual effect if they had worked.

Possible Places my Product Will Feature

I will need to consider where my video will be posted. There are currently hundreds of websites that host videos and music videos, the most popular is YouTube. I will take this into consideration so initially post my music video onto YouTube and allow my target audience to share the video with their friends and family through social media.  

The audience members will share the video on social media and web2.0 if they enjoy it which will expand the audience. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram all have integrated video players so my audience will probably share my video on them.

My primary target audience is aged between 16 and 21 according to the pol on my blog which means that they will be very tech savvy so the main way that they will consume music videos will be online. This means that my music video will have to be online to ensure that it is consumed and shared. Most music videos are put on YouTube or the artists’ Vevo account for their audience to find and watch. My music video will be put onto YouTube for my audience to consume. Because my genre is dubstep and not mainstream, the artist will probably not have a Vevo account so it will have to be direct from the artist or the record label. I think that my artist will be part of an independent record label such as, “Vinyl Related Records”, who often represent dubstep artists.

Audience research Focus group

Poll results

 

The poll results show me who my target audience and how they feel about music videos so now I can make my product to suit my target audiences wants and needs. For example i know that most of my audience are male so I will aim my music video at male interests. Laura Mulveys male gaze theory suggests that all music videos are already aimed at men and are just there for male veurerism.
