Intertextual Reference

We have decided to use MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This as our intertextual reference because aspects of this dance will be in our music video as we will have our own MC Hammer featured in the music video and it fits the theme really well.

Monday 28th November, we were meant to film a dance scene with one of our dancers but due to unforeseen circumstances such as the dancer feeling ill and was too tired to do anything, we cancelled filming today. As this is the second time we have had to reschedule this dancer's scene, me and my partner Banke Adebola have decided to use somebody else for that scene and replace him. We have done a new schedule for all the filming and editing we will be doing over the next couple of weeks.

Today we pitched our entire music video concept to our whole class and our Media Studies teacher. The pitch included details about our band/artist, including which record label we'll be signed to, what our ideology is and who our target audience is. A synopsis of the video, including details of performance and/or narrative elements, location shots and any costume images. Our animatic. An explanation of how we have used Goodwin's elements within the video. Lastly an explanation of why we have decided on this concept and how it will appeal to the target audience and 'fit' into the music industry.

Overall the pitch went quite well and the only criticism we got from our teacher was that our target audience was too high because originally our target audience was ages 14-30 but we had to reduce it to ages 14-25. The people in our class generally had good things to say about it and they concluded that we were ready for filming.

Logo for Dj Delirious





The second logo is the one we've chosen to use as our logo for DJ DELIRIOUS. We decided to put the other one we made on the blog to show that we had considered different designs. We chose the second one because it communicates House music more because of the colourful background and the bright colours.

Evidence of REECE 7















The last image is the entrance of the church and where we will also be adding logos of DJ DELIRIOUS.

Evidence of RECCE 6















The sixth image of another church we will be filming one of the dancers in. We have already asked for permission to film there.

Evidence of RECCE 5















The fifth image is the door to the club scene that each dancer will open we tried taking a picture of us opening the door so we can see what it looks like open. We will cut to one of our drama rooms in our school which will be the interior of the club.

Evidence of RECCE 4















The fourth image is the car park of the secret place that the dancers are going to find and this is where they will all meet up.

Evidence of RECCE 3















The third image is of the path we are going to add logos of DJ DELIRIOUS that each dancer is going to have to walk past.

Evidence of RECCE 2















The second image is also the gym centre.

Evidence of RECCE 1















This post and the next six are shots of some of the locations we are going to use that are not in school. The first image is outside of the gym/dance centre one of the dancers in the music video are going to be filmed in. We made a deal with the owner, he said we can take pictures and film when we are ready provided we come back and give them a copy of the finished product.

We have begun our animatic of our storyboard and have started to upload it on IMOVIE. We imported the pictures we storyboarded into IMOVIE to begin with. We had to shorten the length of how long each shot will appear as the music video would be way to long if we didn't. Instead of using a camera to take the pictures of our story board, we decided it would be best to use a different strategy because using the camera made it blurry,unlike our new strategy.

We went to take pictures of the locations we will be filming at. We went to the secret dance location first, as that is where the dancers will be at the end of the music video. As the establishment belongs to someone else, we had to get permission from the staff to make sure we can film when we are ready as it wouldn't be very good if we were to turn up and start filming to have them tell us that we can't. Lighting is a big issue and we must ensure that whenever we are filming we have the correct lighting to ensure that it isn't too dark.

As we will be filming in the dance studio of our school, we went to take pictures of the dance studio where we will be filming one of our dancers. Just like with the previous location, we had to get permission before we start filming. Our reason for doing it here is because we will show the chosen dancer approching a dance establishment and the cut do the dance studio in our school because it has the right layout.

We will be filming in both our churches so we needed to get permission from both our pastors and we will attain a letter of them allowing us to film there. There is a possibility that youths of the church will be filmed too which is not a problem. There were no other problems which made it easy for us to get the RECCE evidence. Once we have finished our animatic, we will be ready to start shooting our music video.
