Today in the lesson we started to put together our storyboard so that the next stage for us would be to follow this to film our music video. We then made this into an animatic and uploaded it to our blogs. From doing this we can easily plan out how to shoot our music video so that it runs smoothly. This does not have to be exactly how we film it but its a start!

Today in the lesson we began making our mood board, to put together all of our ideas for our music video.
Our idea is a fashion show catwalk scene. This will connotate how people are "cloned" to all look similar in today's society by the fashion industry.
It will show a contrast, with our artist 'Lucy Star' she will be uniquely dressed, and the complete opposite to the streotype's in the catwalk scene.
The mood board contains photo's of 'Wag' like characters dressed similarly to each other in contrast to the photo's of Lucy Star's style (punk, pop, eccentric.)
We thought this would be suitable because our artist 'Lucy Star' is such an eccentric and unique character that we wanted to show the contrast between her and what is expected of us in society today as young women .

Human Nature


Gondry was born in Versailles, France. He is the grandson of inventor Constant Martin.He has a teenage son named Paul who is also an artist.

His career as a filmmaker began with creating music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui, in which he also served as a drummer. The style of his videos for Oui Oui caught the attention of music artist Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour". The collaboration proved long-lasting, with Gondry directing a total of seven music videos for Björk. Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion include Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, The Vines, Steriogram, Radiohead, and Beck. Gondry has also created numerous television commercials. He pioneered the "bullet time" technique later adapted in The Matrix,in a 1998 commercial for Smirnoff vodka, as well as directing a trio of inventive holiday-themed advertisements for clothing retailer Gap, Incorporated.

Digipaks

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" rather than a full plastic tray.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Because such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly. Licensed digipak manufacturers such as domestic U.S. printer and disc replicator Oasis Disc Manufacturing recommend coating the raw printed paper with a protective UV coating, thus ensuring greater longevity.

Although less vulnerable to cracking than a jewel case, the disc tray inside the package (particularly the "teeth" of the hub which secure the disc in place) remains rather brittle and is prone to cracking if the package is crushed. Digipak-style cases grew in popularity among record labels and recording artists in the early 2000s.

Manufacturers have sought to reduce environmental impact and improve functionality by introducing recycled components into its trays; one has announced a 100% post-consumer PET tray made from recycled bottles, which also eliminates the need for the brittle "teeth". Many printers use recycled or sustainable material for the board stock.

Historically, Digipak was only available in large quantities. However, AGI has recently introduced a new product called digipak i-create for the consumer market. Digipak i-create is a web-supported concept that is aimed at the download, music, photo and creative markets.

Our Music Video IDEA!!

This was our groups first idea which we created the day that we got given the breifs. Girls just wanna have fun was the only song that stood out to us as a group as we knew we could produce a good video to this bubbly song.
