Post 39: Random videos of progress

These are just a random assaurtment of videos to monitor my progression








Post 38: Finished filming, nearly

Yesterday on Sunday 10th I wrapped up filming for my video of Robots 1 humans 0. The only piece of footage i have left is to capture the protagonist disapearing as a train passes but appart from that I am done. I also managed to take some photos of the band posing. The band were all characters within the video. The pictures shall be the content of the album advertisment in a musical magazine. I obtained alot of positive feedback about my demo album art with one person actually claiming that i should use it. Acting upon this feedback i have decided to retain the artwork that i created.

The next part of the project is getting the other video finished.

Post 37: Whats happening tomorrow

On Sunday the 10th of April I am aiming to conblude filming my music video for robots 1 humans 0. However at the last moment i have had to change the ending and final act to my video. Due to an unforseign event happening with one of the actors i have had to change the ending to there being just two robot's. Hopefully i should be able to create a new concept in time for tomorrow.

In the meantime, expect more videos, album art, storyboards and album advertisement. Ive got a new and faster computer now that should hopefully upload everything and anything.

Post 36: pictures

These are some more shots of another place in Epsom. This place was originally planned as the alternative to Epsom ruins. I was going to use this place because it's full of graffiti and looks quite grim






This picture was taken in Little Hampton and was taken in September. I originaly went to little Hampton in order to obtain shots for my album advertisement. I also shot the opening sequance of my video their.



This is shot taken for the rave band the prodigy. I really liked the grim atmosphere on the bridge. I also wanted to know if there was a local area that was similar to the area in the picture. I want a picture like this for the album advertisement.

This is the closest area that i could find. This is at littlehampton. It's a little too friendly for the image I was trying to convey. However i do like this image


These shots were takenon the hill were Ben chases scott

Post 35: Extra video

In order to obtain more marks i have decided to create another video. This video will be for a song thats by my band however this track is inly preformed acoustically by one of our members. It will just be a preformance video shot from different angles. It may also include some blury images of sceanry. The influences and inspirations for this video have come from....

Post 34: Videos

This is some of the demo footage i shot at Epsom ruins

The first shot i intend to put at the begining. This scene isnt action filled but i want to get the sense that we find the protaganist alone and disinfranchised.


This is the same shot just filmed in colour and from a different angle. I do like this angle but i dont feel that I shall have enough time to place it into the video.



This shot is also used to emphasise the loneliness the protagonist faces


A simillar shot. I like how the light shines on hime amongst the dark. It provides a biblical "god's hand aproach", or that theres light at the end of the tunnel



There shall be more videos later.

Post 33: What happened sunday

On Sunday we spent i spent the day attempting to finish of all the filming for my video.

However i wasnt able to obtain the desired affect. I finished of the squence of the hill chase. I also attempted the final act which included a chase in a car scene. As aposed to now finishing the the video with a lightsout sequence in the car park, Scott is hunted down and ran ove by the robot's. This unfortuanately didnt go to plan. Whilst I recorded majority of the footage i wanted, i felt that i didnt really have a plan of action so this Sunday im going to conclude filming. I will use the footage just as demo footage. Feeling defeated i decided to halt filming for that day. I also need to film linking scenes in order for the video to actually make sense. This will be done in the next few weeks.

As usual im still working out how to upload storyboards, mock album art and mock advertisement.


Untill then these are some of 2 out of the 5 cast pictures

This is Scott. He is the protagonist



This is Ian. 1 of the antagonists


There will be more images soon
