This is our preliminary exercise, before we had an idea of what we were doing we played around with the camera and made this short music video of an existing song by Pharrel and Miley Cyrus, this had a very fun theme and we used one of Goodwins conventions which is the relationship between the lyrics and visuals, this means that the atmosphere, mood and tone of the visuals should reflect the music. We used hand movement and feet movements to connect the beats with the visuals, it was very difficult to do and although it did not come out terribly, we decided that we should not repeat this same convention in our music video because its time consuming and intricate.

Completed Preliminary Exercise
Finished Preliminary Exercise
After recording and editing all our different shots; from medium close-ups of tapping our feet, medium shots of clapping our hands and further edited close-up shots of smiling and bopping our heads to the beat, after editing our preliminary exercise we felt very pleased with the outcome and completely prepared to begin our own.

Preliminary Music Video
Before shooting our music video to Marco Levi's 'Wonderland,' we completed a Preliminary music video to explore ways of getting the visuals on screen to match the mood of the video and thought as none of us in the group have shot a music video before. We decided to use Pharrell Williams 'Come Get It Bae' for our preliminary exercise, as it is more of a fun and upbeat song compared to 'Wonderland' and it would allow us to see how dancing and body movement can really impact a music video and make it seem more fun for an audience.
Besides the fact we won't be using dancing or body movement elements in our music video as it is not suitable for our song and we've decided to base our music video on surrealism, so it will be fun for the group to explore this way of presenting a music video before hand. The original music video does involve a lot of dancing and body movement but we tried to create our own and edit it in a way we think would make the song/video even more fun to watch.

Tough day shooting
Today was arguably one of our most challenging days. Our actress who has a leading role in our narrative was not present. Therefore we had to adjust the narrative and had to only shoot individual shots of Marc, which required constant costume changes in the tough, rural conditions.

These are the following shots we will do based on surreal images we found on the internet and art gallery.

Camera Techniques
We're going to use different types of techniques in our music video and stop motion is one of them, it makes our video come accross more sophisticated and can emphasise our ability to film and edit.
This is a perfect example and we will do the 360 rotation method in our video, but our artist will be standing still, he will be wearing a bowler hat, a suit and will have an apple on his head, here is where we will replicate the Classic Surreal image with the man and the apple.
