Location planning

The the kind of locations we chose for the filming of our music video was urban areas that were kind of run down, this is because these are the kind of places that the Ska audience are likely to congregate. When we were looking for locations for shooting we thought about the people we knew that were in to the ska genre and though about where they normally hang out in their spare time. For example they would hang out at anglia square which is where we did alot of our shooting and places around that area, this is becasue they have alot of vintage shops in that area which is a generic theme of the ska genre.

Email from our chosen band "The Skanx"

We emailed the band asking for their permission to use their track (Money Grabber). Wendy from the band emailed back saying that we could use the track.

Shot Ideas

I took these images off the music video "Oh No" by Marina and the Diamondsand these are relevant to our idea with the monopoly money and the image of the camera under the glass is an idea we may use in our music video. We are planning to do money dropping out of or on top of an umbrella this goes with the title of our track which is money grabber.

In lesson time me and my experimented with stop motion, what we did was used monopoly money to spell out the phrase " Money Grabber" this is because that is the name of the song and it is used alot in the song. What we did was we took short clips of us slowly assembling the letters annd tehn we sped the footage up to make it look better. These images are what they looked like and we noticed that where it says how much each note is worth from a distance it looks like an eye this could add continuity to our music video.

We chose an urban backround because we all agreed that it was iconic to the Ska/Punk genre. the costumes we used were checked shirts, smart/casual suit, army surplus boots, braces, trilbe hats and shiny trousers for the girl.

This is one of out actors Isobel bailey, she is also the the same actor who stared in out AS thriller, so we know she is a good actress and will work well. She also has a keen fashion sense will which will again help with costumes.

This is one of our actors Jack Sauverin, he is a big Ska fan so this will help his ethusiasim in his perfomence on our music video. This also helps us to get costume for the video. Costume: Black suit, black skinnt tie and a trilbe hat.

This is our costume ideas for the music video, these costumes are what the audience of ska music are most likely to wear according to our research.

This is us attempting the maddness walk as seen
on the music video "one step beyond by the maddness"

Wasup homes this A2 media baby!
