Production Diary #6

In the last week, I have completed a variety of research tasks in order to consolidate my knowledge of the music industry. Tasks I have completed includes research on the artist I am using (Marina And The Diamonds), existing music channels, equipment and videos I admire. I feel as though the equipment and videos I admire were the most beneficial posts for me, as I discussed the pros and cons of using the equipment I have access to and how I can use them for the project. The videos I admire also helped me as I explained why I am influenced by particular videos and what technicques I could possibly grab with them, for example in the music video 'Fancy' where a wide variety of props for mise-en-scene are used. In the next lesson, I hope to complete a few planning tasks so that I can generally get a move on and begin to shoot as soon as I can.
