Disconnected - Brief

The video starts out with an establishing shot of Jazz sitting at a piano with her back to the camera. The room she is sitting in is large with hight ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. The camera then tracks to her and pans round to see her face, as the camera tracks we see what she is wearing, which is dark blue jeans, a nice t-shirt, a gray hoodie unzipped and black converse shoes. The whole video will be shot in black and white. While she is playing the video is cut with images of her and her brother growing up with him joining the army and a black and white version of the video of his passing out ceremony. As we cut back to Jazz after the clips the camera goes from a mid shot to a close up after each clip is played as she get more emotional, the camera is tracking around her getting different angles to make it more interesting then just from the same angle. As the song ends the camera is front on for an extreme close up of her then zooms out as she walks away from the piano leaving just the piano on its own, the camera then focusing on the piano as Jazz leaves, the video then fades to black.

Visualisation

For a music video for this song Disconnected by Jazz Morley, I see her siting at a piano playing and singing the song with the camera tracking around her playing, she in in a room with high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows letting a lot of light, cut with images of her and her brother growing up, with the brother eventually joining the army with shots of him in him uniform at his passing out ceremony, the track will be playing trough out these shots. The video will be shot in black and white.
The story that the video will tell is the story of her and her brother growing up and what happens to them.

Initial Listen - Jazz Morley

The song that I am analyzing is Disconnected by Jazz Morley
The mood of the piece of music is sad as it is about her brother going to was, she gets this across to the listeners by the was she is singing, slow and full of emotion and that it is played on just a piano.
I think that the song sounds similar to Skinny Love by Birdy in the way that it is played solely on a piano and full of emotion, and also there voices sound similar in the style that they sing.

The genre of the song Disconnected by Jazz Morley is soul acoustic.

Review Footage and New equipment List

Scene 1: Classroom
We filmed in an empty classroom. The audio is good there are no interruptions or other sounds disturbing the audio.

Scene 2: Outside
We filmed outside in  car park. It is hard to hear as there is wind interference and people shouting half way through.

Scene 3: Hub Computers
We filmed by a corridor. There is a lot of background noise from people walking passed and above us.


Re-film
Change boom mic to tie mic, move presenters closer to the camera, have them speak up so the mics can pick them up and have them practice the script more, look at the weather forecast so wind would not be an issue, move away from the people that are making noise.

Preparing to shoot on location

It is important to plan when filming on location because other wise you don't know what you will be filming and the locations you have chosen might not be the best for sound.

If you don't plan there can be things that go wrong that could have been avoided.

If I were filming or reporting on this I would film away from the people sledding down the hit as there is always the possibility of getting hit by the sled or falling in the snow.
