Introduction to Myself

Hello, As You may no my name is James Vlahos. I'm currently studying Media, Art, PE and ICT, I am only 18 years old however as I was born on March the 1st I shall be turning 19 in the same year meaning I'm a year older then the vast majority of year 13 in this 6th form and most students here.

I'm a friendly happy cheerful chap who tries to think positive about everything and attempts his best at all his work, However has a few distractions as I am only 1 of 7 children meaning distractions can happen whenever when I'm home. However this has what adapted me to getting used to all the things I am used to such as loud noise and nuisances.

I'm currently in the process of planning and filming my media music video which had a quick sudden change of the song however by the same artist. The reason I felt the need to change the song is as getting about 1:30 minutes through planning my first choice I found it wasn't suitable or exactly easily possible on myself to fully plan the whole 4 minutes without it losing it's plot planned, meaning I have chosen to go for a much more narrative approache with a different song which I believe I can work extremely well with.

Contacting Adam Lambert

Cancelled!!!

People Within the Music Video

As I'm not fully sure how many people will be mainly filmed within the music video as the song could be suitable for even only one person as long as it's filmed effectively and has a great look to it, However my main aim is to have two or three people, All having their own look to add to the music video as well as the main look I am wanting for the lead singer. However I will be planning out the whole storyboard and seeing which would look best and where, also where it could be suitable to have more then one main performer.

Idea's of Costume and Make-Up

My thoughts so far on how the singer's apperance should be is he or they should be dressed to stand out and over the top, meaning make-up and crazy funky hair along with black or white clothes with jewellery such as earrings, necklaces, rosarys, braclets, wristbands, belts and studs. These are all possibilties on making the singer or people stand out beyond the normal everyday person, also creating a interesting unique look to the audiences eye hopefully keeping them entertained on what is happening beyond the style. My main thought is to keep them far away as the normal everyday people and go a step further into a more rocky crazy look.

Pictures of Locations

I am still currently searching on the most suitable of locations for the idea's I've had in mind. The main look I am going for is both Light and very dark places which I'm hoping to get highlighted up with neon lights or glow sticks giving a unoridinary creepy but interesting look to it whilst the performance is going on.

Music Video's - Performance

All Time Low

 

These music videos of All Time Low caught my eye on performance mainly because of one of them is pure live performance but still makes a super effective music video. Also the other video looks as if it could be a little bit of narrative however It doesn't purely follow it to me feels like it's own short of little performance within a performance.

Bring Me The Horizon



What I like with the performance within these two music videos by Bring Me The Horizon is the fact that they maintain the speed to the song, even though it is extremely fast beat and heavy. Also it brings excitement to the eye purely from their quick and effective movements.

Breathe Carolina

These music video's by Breathe Carolina are quick and very effective and look amazing even when there's not much happening, the main image is the stars which are easily seen even within a crowd allowing the viewers to notice them. Also a main thing in their videos even though it's performance based is there are a lot of women.
