Permission to film/Risk Assessment

 Please click images to enlarge.

I emailed the Film Office for tfl asking permission to use the premises in advance before shooting. This way we have decreased any risks of filming in areas that are not permitted by film as it is illegal to film in public areas

We haven't paid the permit cost to film on the premises, but we are allowed to ask supervisors on the tube station and railway station. For other areas such as Skatepark we will have to ask local people if they mind to be filmed or not.




Risk Assessment:
Whilst shooting we need to consider the dangers around us with the equipment and the people involved. Risks with equipment are, the area has a high crime rate and it is possible that the camera and tripod could get stolen but we have figured a solution to film in daylight. We are filming in a skate park and using skateboards for tracking shots which could potentially damage the camera if we are not careful. To prevent this we are being stable and protective with the cameras. In the video we have people doing backflips, in the case of anyone getting hurt we have asked people who have experience in doing this on the street.

Audience Research

I have created a survey via Internet, which I emailed to 12 respondents. The questions were based on media habits and how effective a music video is to people in their media interacting lives. I was looking for answers to see whether individuals are passive when watching videos or active and whether music videos are relevant to produce in a society that is developing. Is it expiring or maintaining? All respondents were between the ages of 17-18, which could have narrowed the judgment of how people view music videos. As our music video is youth based it is more reasonable to question people of the appropriate age so we can get an idea of what our target wants to see. As there are more male respondents, the answers may be reliable because statistically males watch videos for pleasure.

 This question demonstrates what our audience mainly do when they are media associated. None of the respondents use magazines as a media association which doesn't effect our music video being seen more or less. As music videos are mainly displayed on TV and online and a high population the people answered that they associate with these agents of media. TV is the most popular aspect of media that the respondents use, therefore if they watch music videos its most likely to be viewed via TV.

There were a variety of answers of how people purchase their music; google play store, HMV and iTunes but a high number of respondents do not purchase music which is understandable because students are more aware of illegal downloads or their not interested in buying music. There are websites that give the tracks of an album which people can easily access everyday on their phone instead of buying a hard copy.

Almost 100% of respondents watch music videos which is influential to our music video otherwise we would struggle in meeting our target audience. One male respondant commented that "watching music videos distracts from the talent of the artist and quality of the music".

My music video can be combine with several of these genres in the list: Pop;Dance;Dubstep;Techno House. Hip Hop is a popular genre from the respondents but it is a part of the underground attraction that is being created.

Conceptual videos is the most popular typology for a music video, this proves Sven Carlsson's theory to where music video fall into for the audience. This could suggest that people are reacting actively with the artisitc visuals of a music video this way they can have a intimate relationship with music they listen to.
