My advert

As described in an earlier post on adverts, my music video advert will centre around driving, using the reference of driving scenes used in the music video to produce an contextual link between the advert and the music video. It is also a decent way of incorporated the scenes I took while driving but didn't feel suited the music video.
Below I will post a screen shot of the story board

This was not drawn in order, so I have rearranged them below as well as including a re-written caption with each scene.

 This scene is the first prominent scene, taken outside of my house. The scene acts as an entrance into the video, a wide view to get a scape of the scene, followed by the door shutting and jumping to the next scene inside the van.

 This scene shows the engine being started, this is the last scene where you can here an ambient noise. The reason for including ambient noise till this point is to give a sense of suspense before the track starts. I have mostly including only hand acting as a way of keeping the attention on the journey/song, rather than the actors. The engine starting is an important scene as it signifies the start of the journey, the engine is therefore cutting all sound and making sound isolated to the radio.

This scene is shot from a low angle because one I didn't have enough time to print out the album art onto a disk, so this meant there was a bit of illusion needed to make the audience believe it is the CD. This effect also gives a feeling of power to the radio, as though it commands the journey (in a way it does, edit cuts etc).
 It is shot in silence to keep the focus on the song.

Conveniently, the vans engine starts from the press of a Red button. The red button is a prominent image of power, dramatic change normally linked to that of the bomb. To the metaphor here is that the button is pressed, the song plays, as though the song will make a dramatic change like a bomb, but more positive and less destructive of course.
 Once edited this scene lacked something by just starting on the song, so to make it clear that the button was starting the radio, I got a clip of a radio being tuned in and cut it down so that there was an opening into the song.

This scene plays into the next one, it gives a brief but powerful start to the journey, the van whizzing past a corner...

...Then quickly cutting to see it disappear into the distance, prompting the next scene.

This is where I will use scenes Ive taken, such as going over the bridge from Wales to England, or shots that I didn't think were good enough to include in the actual music video. They are mostly timed cuts keeping to the rhyme of the song. This will lead up to a drop in the music, cut by me and then exaggerated by the sound effect of a Projectile Missile going off...

This will then roll into the next scene using an iris effect as the scene rolls past the camera through the last scene, to make it appear as though the van is breaking through the scene.
This will end with the title of the song/video/artist and a "COMING SOON" message.

Then I will make the advert and upload it before I upload the finished Music video, thus making a semi-tralier. The music played over the top of this advert will be a section of the song,"Spirit of albion" of which the music video is  based. This will run probably no longer than 30 seconds at the most.

The advert for the video, after taking the scenes and editing.
I had to go to the begining of Frogrove Lane instead of BroadStreet because there were road works.

And the print advert is posted below along with some description:

So I decided to stylise my poster around the same idea as the video advert, portraying a journey using my Van as a visual means of conveying this idea. Below I have done a rough mock up of how it may look on a bus stop Ad, minus a gloss effect of course...

Blind Gaurdian

At the begining of the video there is a scene which at the present time has no music, I fell the song by Blind Gaurdian The bards song seems quite fitting. However I may actually use it at the end as the lyrics say"Now you all know the bards and there songs" So chronologically it would make sence.
I'm going to be using 10 - 15 seconds of the song.

I field out an email to them on their site, but lost the print screen.



However I could a caption of the page after it had been sent, as seen above.

Now I wait for their reply.
