Music
Video for the Band
For this production I’m going to make a
music video for Black Veil Brides in the end song. I will be making this for a
client, Taking Calls For Georgia. The have recorded a cover of this song and
they have approached me to make the music video for it.
My client is the band Taking Calls For
Georgia. This band consists of Callum Hope (Bassist), Nathan Fisher (Rhythm
Guitar), Jack Bates (Lead Guitar), Lochlan Hope (Drummer) and Emily Twist
(Singer). This is a band that formed in
Landau Forte Sixth Form and they want to have more professional Recordings done
for them.
This song is about not being afraid to
die. Most people aren't afraid to die because it is going to happen eventually.
What people are scared of is what happens to when you do die and what will
happen to you and everyone else and who will tell your story. For the video I
am going have someone that is on deaths door and they will be scared and asking
people to tell their story. I will mix in shots of the person at a younger age
and this will be the telling of the story of the person. All of this will be
mixed with band footage as well.
For the filming of the music video it will
cost £5000. This seems expensive but because I provide all of the equipment and
will be able to gain access to all of the locations that will be needed. For the
editing it will cost a further £5000 but this is for the whole music video to
be edited and effects added to it and for it to be rendered out and promoted.
I provide all of the equipment that will be
used. The camera I use is the Nikon D3300 and this can record in 16:9
1920x1080 Full HD video at 60fps meaning I can get slow motion shots if needed.
I will also but using a tripod and a camera dolly. This will mean I can get
nice smooth tracking shot. I will also be using a camera stabilizer so I can
get moving shots that will be smooth and I can get very close to the band
scenes. I also have an action camera that mean I can get very close up and
tight shots of the band.
For the Post-Production I will need
Computer to edit the music video on. The computer will have to edit on will
have to be good specifications for the hardware. The software I will need will
be Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 and Adobe After Effect CC 2015. Premiere Pro CC
will be where I will do all of the editing and putting the clips I film
together. After Effects CC will be where I will be adding the effects onto the
video once the main editing has already been done.
I will need some transport for people and
equipment. I will need to get the musical equipment to different locations so I
can be able to film the band scene shots for the video. I will also need to get
the band to there as well. I will need to get my camera equipment to the
different locations as well.
For the crew I will be working alone to
make the music video and I will be filming and editing the whole thing as well
as setting up the filming equipment and the setting for the narrative. The Band
might help me here but apart form that there will be no other crew. I will be
holding the boom operator if we need to use the boom arm as well.
I will need to hire some facilities to be
able to record the music video because I need to set up a band performance in a
performance hall that I will need to hire out and I will need a room so I can
have the narrative part recorded. The
money that this will cost is included in the cost of the recording.
There might be some copyright on the cover
that I am making the music video for. This is something that I will get in
touch with the record label and the band to see if I can use this song to
record the music video for. If they agree then 50% of the total earnings of
this video will have to go to the person that wrote the song to keep in line
with the copyright law.
Recording
for the Band
As well as the Music
Video I will be making a recording for one of the bands other covers and I will
also be doing a remix of a different song that will show the band my mixing
style. To go along with the recording I will be mixing and mastering the track
to make it sound as good as possible.
I will be recording a
cover of Green Day’s American idiot and this will also be the track I will be
mixing and mastering. I will also be doing a Remix of an existing track that
will show my mixing style. This will all be put together with the music video
to make a digital package for the band to use for future things or to sell.
For the recording studio it will cost £70
per hour to record the song. But if you block book 12 hours it will only cost
you £700. For Mixing and mastering It will cost a further £50 per hour but if
it takes me longer that 12 hours you get it half price so for £300 not £600. This
will either be funded but the band or the band will get a grant or some funding
of their own to be able to pay for this.
For all of this I will need the music
equipment so all of the musical instruments that the band will already have. I
will provide all of the relevant microphones for all of the instruments I will
be recording. I also have the mixing board and the Apple Mac that I use Cubase
on to record and mix everything.
I have a recording studio where I will be
doing the entire recording and the microphones are already set up and ready to
go all the band needs to do is bring their Instruments and this is something I
might need transport for because I will need to get the band and the
instruments to the recording studio. This is something that will be looked at
before we start the recording.
For the crew there will only be me as I can
set up all of the microphones around on all of the instruments and I will be
able to do the recording on my own and also the mixing and mastering on my own
too. The band will set up and tune their instruments so I don’t need any crew
to do that for me.
The talent I will be using is the band
Taking Calls For Georgia. This band consists of Callum Hope (Bassist), Nathan
Fisher (Rhythm Guitar), Jack Bates (Lead Guitar), Lochlan Hope (Drummer) and
Emily Twist (Singer). This is a band that
formed in Landau Forte Sixth Form and they want to have more professional
Recordings done for them.
I have my own facilities so we wont need to
hire one because I have a completely sound proofed recording studio will all of
the equipment that I need to do professional recording.
The song that I will be making a cover of is
a copyrighted song and this means that I will be asking for permission off
Green Day before we record a cover of the song. If they agree to the
cover we will be giving them the legal 50% of the total earnings will go to Green
Day.
