Photo Effects
While filming the music video Sophie was in charge of taking pictures on my camera to go towards evidence, but also the digipak cover. This is a example of the editing I have done to bring out the colour.

Weather
I checked the weather for tomorrows filming and it looks positive. It should hold out well for the powder paint scene.

Enigma: Proposal Outline
Proposal
The Proposal: To make a music video for a unsigned band
When: Sunday 27th October, All day
Where: Norwich
My proposal for my music video project is to film Taverham/Hellesdon band Enigma perform one of their songs. The song is self titled "Enigma" and I plan for the music video to be heavily performance based. The band will perform in a warehouse which they have already got for me to film in. Filming should only take one day, possibly two when considering contingency's. The aim is to film as much as possible in the time we have so then we have enough footage to work from, then not enough.
After the footage is filmed, editing will begin. A problem with performance based videos, is that the cuts needs to be quick and varied to avoid dullness. That is why we have decided to add the powder paint scenes, where the band are throwing it at one another. We can work with the powder paint, slow it down and put further effects into the video to make it more interesting for the audience.
As well as the music video, I will also be producing my own Digi-pak design and a magazine advertisement.
Deadline for Music Video: 20th December

Enigma: Last Minute Schedule Planning

Because I am driving for the film shoot I have planned my route to and from, I have also worked out travel times and finalised the schedule of the day, there were little improvements.
Also, the second location is outside, so I checked the weather forecast. More accurate readings will come through at the weekend, but so far is looks promising. Hopefully there won't be any rain.
Enigma: Informing the Band of Developments
James got back to be regarding my concern of using their friends in the video, it is is resolved now.
I sent another email informing them of adjustments. The formality of the emails have gotten less serious, because we have kept in contact regularly.
I sent an Email to them on Friday 25th October (2 days before shoot) just to confirm everything is fine regarding the shoot.
