Inglorious Basterds


Finished Advert

Here is our finished advert, this was Worked on by Michal who pieced everything together in a way we thought would fit our ideas, such as matching the genre through use of imagery, colours and text. most members of our group have had previous experience working with photoshop and i hope this really shows in or advert and digipak.

Finished Digipak

Here are the front and back covers for our digipak as well as the spine for the case. we have tried to make this work fit in with the genre of pop punk.









Risk assessment

This is our risk assessment, there are so little risks as the idea is for the video to show Michal in his average life.

Costume and Props

For the music video, we would need to fit into the genre in which we would be making it for, in which is pop punk, so what we have avoided, was wearing clothing in which would be akin to sixth form uniform, as it would not fit/suit the genre in which we are doing, as we needed different clothing to suit it entirely.

Michals outfit:
 The first things were mainly band shirts, each of the band shirt/shirts that we have/will be using are all well known within the pop punk genre, such as Green Day, in which we have followed that up with a grey Vans shirt, in which has been covered by a long sleeved red squared shirt, to make the pop punk style fit in further in which would match what is being shown within the genres. Moreover the reason why we have chosen this style of clothing is because they are well known cliches within the genre in which we are reinforcing, as the song is a parody of the genre, in which follows the cliches in which are involved.
Moreover, the other types of clothing in which we have selected were a set of dark jeans, and sneakers/skating shoes to match the top part of the outfit well.









Sam's outfit: For sam, we had to get him a outfit in which would be weird, and would not make any sense at all. The first thing was the blond wig, in which we have made him look like a woman/girl, so the first thing was to put makeup and a blonde wig on him. The next thing was the use of a dress, to make him more feminine, and to be able to make him more believable becoming the main character's love interest.

Before we have started recording our music video, we have bought some props in which we are going to use for the film. The first thing were props for michal, , the first thing was a beanie, in which he would be using within the video, to give him a more pop punk look.




The next things in which we needed to get were things in which would change his hair colour, in this case, hairspray, to give a temporary colour change, not a permanent hair dye, the two colours in which we have used was a red and a blue, this would allow his hair to have a different colour without resorting to dying his hair permanently.


Following that, the next things were for the other people, in this case it was mostly wigs, blonde wigs. In which we are going to use it on some people, as a segment for the music vid, in which the other main character will be using a blonde wig, as they will also be wearing a dress, so that they would be seen as a love interest.


The reason why we use these props, is because it will be able to allow us to differentiate from what we would normally do, as instead of going at it normally, we would be able to go out of control, and weird into the genre, so that we could be able to fit into the genre we are going to do our music video.

Constructing the Digipak












Here are some screen shots going through the stages of creating our digipak. 
Two of the members i our group have used photoshop a lot in the past so we feel we can really show off in creating the digipak and advert.


Treatment


Treatment

Group roles:
Cinematography: Carly
Mise-en-scene: Carly and Michal
Editing: Joshua

Title:
A song about a girl

Synopsis:
A guy decided to fall in love with a girl, but he does not realise that this girl is a man in disguise, even all of his friends are shocked with the decision he has made, with maybe a hint of jealousy from some of the actual girls in the group.

Genre Conventions:
Pop Punk clothing is what the main singer Michal is wearing as well as the two guitarists so that they may fit into the genre.our video also includes "live"clips of the band performing, collections of different footage to make up the video, close ups of the singer, fast cut editing, humour and clips to make the video fun and show the cast having a good time.
The idea is to develop our work to the point of near professionalism so that you could play it and people wouldn't know that it was a piece of A2 coursework.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World


This Film is a good example of post modernism as it continuously reminds the viewer that it is a fictional text, and is very closely linked to video games in how it shows the battles between Scott and the "evil ex's" in the battle scenes the film displays  punches and kicks with on screen words
