Previous Work: Annotation of Locations

This map shows where we will be filming. As shown all the scenes are very close together in location space so we won't spend a lot of our time traveling to different sites. 

Previous Work: Contacts - Extras

I contacted Elli from when I was in Film Academy about possible extras. Elli works for Culture Work in Norwich and she has contacts for every youth based program, be it theatrical or not. She has happily forwarded on my message to those groups, not just for our video, but also other groups in the class.  

Previous Work: Locations Mood Board

After a discussion about possible locations, we decided that Cromer would be the preferred place, because it is all close together and it has all the facilities.

Previous Work: UPDATE #1 Brainstorming

Date: Saturday 31st August

Last Friday myself and Becky met up to discuss ideas of the Enigma music video. Together we wrote an email to Enigma to meet with them, so they know who they are working with and what their ideas are. They wish to star in the video and gave us a couple of things that they would like in the video. 

This is a quote from the email sent by James to Becky:

"...something along the lines of either filming the band play with all the equipment either outside somewhere or filming just us on the beach..."
Jame Vivia - bass guitarist/backing vocals

Engima has already said previously in another email they would like it to be filmed at the beach. We came up with a an idea for a video where there will just be shots of them having fun, timed and transitioned well with the music. One issue we had was that the idea was too One Direction so we have put in a plot line relevant to the song. This in turn will give the video a darker rocky edge then previously thought. 

On Saturday the 17th I went to the Waterfront, Norwich. I was then able to see what audience they were aimed at, what their music style was and their on stage presence. I used this as extra research of the band.

Here are some early ideas for the first 30 seconds. The beginning of the video is silent with just ambiance  but the music is triggered with the characters movements. The idea of the missed call builds up the story line within the first couple of shots. The phone then becomes a primary concept of the girl who plagues the characters mind. 

The montage is then showing all of the characters getting ready and are generally more upbeat. The entrance of one of the band members at the beginning is very useful to go into the montage, otherwise you can't identify the first character with the rest, therefore being confusing. 

Previous Work: Weighted Paradise by Enigma [Lyrics]

Sitting by the telephone,
waiting for your call, 
only girl on show,
And we got you on the floor, 
Right up in the morning,
Let down after four,
Get the bus to paradise,
And that is that!

Chorus X2 
Singing on my own,
Singing on my own,
Oh baby,
Singing on my own,

Walking all the way to you,
Just to walk right back,
Get the bus to paradise,
Now that is that,
Traffic lights are flashing,
Telling us to stop,
Want her in the journey,
Forget everything that's right,

Chorus X4
