From knowing Lucy Dines socially, i knew that she was a talented singer/ song writer. When asked the create a music video i immediately thought of her as i wanted the music genre to be acoustic. I shared her YouTube videos with my group and they agreed that she would be perfect for our genre and videos idea. I messaged her using a social networking site and asked if she would consider letting us film her and stated that once the video was complete that she could have a copy of it as well. As i know that she is interested in pursuing a career in music. I asked if she had any gigs coming up and she invited me to watch her band 'Bella Diem' perform at the 02 academy. We have arranged many meetings with Lucy in order to gain information on her strengths and weakness's, to make sure that when filming her we capture the best of her. From the gig we obtained a CD which included four of her tracks, and we used this to help us decide on which song we would like to create a music video for. In the end we went for Lucy's own song 'bullet' as we felt this would portray the music genre excellently and it a heartfelt song that comes with powerful evocative imagery.

Chloe this is looking fantastic, uptodate and very informative. Can you maybe increase your font size on your blogs as it is a little hard to read. It is interesting to know that your main contact has been through the use of a media text! Lucy has a great 'look' for your style of video and having seen her you tube videos I can see how her style will suit your narrative.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to add the links to her YouTube videos to your blog?
