New Footage

I decided to film some footage on the beach for my music video as I felt that it would fit with the theme and feel of my video. In order to do this, my actor needed to have a costume change as his school uniform wasn't ideal for the beach. In my original idea, there wasn't going to be a costume change as it wasn't necessary. But with the slight idea/footage change, I have had to include one. This costume change is just my actor in a different coat, joggers and his wellies. This was a more appropriate and realistic costume for the beach footage as it wouldn't be realistic for him to go there with his uniform on.

Here is some of the footage I took while on the beach. I have decided to put this piece of unedited footage onto my blog to show what one piece of footage will look like. I filmed this bit a couple of times but have uploaded this version. I apologise for my singing!

After I edited my music video together, I had a look through all the theorists to see which ones applied to my product. The ones that apply are:

• Tessa Perkins (stereotypes)
• Blumer and Katz (Uses and Gratifications)
• Sven Carlsson (Narrative structure)
• Pam Cook (Narrative development)
• Jason Mittell (Cultural categories)
• Jean Baudrillard (simulacrum, hyperreality)
• David Buckingham (Genre as change)
• John Fiske (Representation)
