Exterior Setting



View Larger Map

I have embedded the link from Google maps in order to show the exterior setting of the restaurant that we are going to film the restaurant / meal scene in.


This here is a picture of the interior setting.

Above is a powerpoint that I have created, it focuses on the setting and location of our music video.

Test Shot 1

Here is a video explaining our first practice shot. We wanted to practice this shot in order to execute it perfectly when we need too, as it will be the most significant shot in our entire music video. The shot will feature in a scene between our two characters.  The shot will show Louise sitting in her bedroom with her back to the door and Joe is sitting in the hallway with his back to the same door.

We used a test subject to practice the shot and the editing required through using Imovie.

Story Board




These images above are parts of our storyboard, however they are not definite as we may want to make throughout the filming process.

I See New

Filming at Youth Group + Lyric Change

The original song ' I See' was written by Joe himself, it originally only featured his vocals. Once we had both listened to the track we loved it however it did feel like it lacked another level of vocal. After a lot of discussion we decided to incorporate female vocals onto the track, this is where our friend Louise comes in. We realized that adding a female vocal allows us to create a more fitting story line to the track.

When Louise was first added to the song the lyrics were the same, but after reviewing the track we discovered that the parts that Louise was singing didn't quite fit.  Joe decided it would work best if he made some subtle changes to the song. He changes some of the lyrics around so that they all fitted within the chords of the song. Me and my partner Georgina decided to re -film a more up-to-date version of the song.  So I met Joe and Louise at their youth group  in order to record the new song.

Copyright Permission

If we were to create a music video using a copyrighted song, we would have had to secure permission from the artist to allow us to use their track. However we are going to use a song that our friends have wrote so we thought that it would be a good idea to obtain their permission to make it more official and professional.

Below is the contract that we created in order to gain Joe and Louise's permission to use their song. We will ask them both to sign the contract and upload a more recent version when they have.
