Texts between me and Jerome Blake - Time keeping and link up for video recordings







Me and Jerome would text each other when we wanted to record, where to meet and what we wanted done when we was free and available. As you can see, we continuously text one another in order for everything to run smoothly and that is exactly what we happened.

Rough cut for our Music Video - First Draft


Location analysis

 The reason why we used this location in Crystal Palace Park is because we wanted to get the similarities it has with the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Paris is known as the Romance Capital of the world and we wanted to embrace that image, seeing as our music video is pretty romantic.

 We used the lake for time of reflection and reminiscence. Often you that when couples spend time together and reflect over things, it suits best near a canal or river to really enhance the romantic subject and the feel of it all.


We used the steps in Crystal Palace for our performance scenes seeing as it would go very well with everything else. The scene of the main artist sitting on the steps is really effective and we knew it would be as well.

Photoshoot for the Digipak and Magazine

 This would be the shot we most probably would use on the Digipak cover as it fits our idea and the way we want our cover to look. The Grey Hoody and the Baseball cap fits the genre and the artist very well.
 This image is also very well taken and would again, fit into our music genre and the artist we are trying to promote.




 This picture suits the second artist in the video we are trying to promote. He is meant to have a soft touch with a bit of style, hence why he is posing like that.
Many of these Photo's were just quick snaps and ideas of how we would want our work to come out. After looking at these photo's, we decided on which ones we would want to use in our Digital Package and our Magazine.

Audience Feedback via Facebook



Looking at the feedback I received, it was all pretty similar one way or another. A little bit of tweaking and improvement would generally do the job. I received a lot of criticism on the scene where we used a car as the background and it was always something we had to discuss about as a group. With the feedback we received on the car being there, we decided it didn't suit the video at all.
Our feedback definitely gave us an insight on how to improve our music video and that is exactly what we shall be doing in now.
