Due to coursework in other subjects i have found it a difficult task to manage the time i need to successfully complete my outcome for media. However i have come up with a plan which will hopefully allow me to finish the project with time to spare.
Starting from the week back after half term i have divided my teams tasks into a 6 week action plan to help manage our time.
Week 1 : Shoot the whole of the video as we really only need one location based around Wyke college it will be easy to get from one place to another. This is also handy because if we need to re shoot we don't have to go very far.
Week 2 : Upload the footage and analyse it making sure that it is what we wanted and if we need to re shoot anything we can go out and do so.
Week 3: Finish the editing and add any finishing touches we think are necessary to the main text
Week 4: Draw up some ideas for our auxiliary texts and start writing up our music video evaluation
Week 5: Finish our auxiliary texts and music video evaluation
Week 6 : Evaluation of the whole project and make any changes necessary to the blogger and the texts.

Animatic
This is our original Animatic which outlines the structure of the scenes we are using. However looking back on the detail of the scenes shown within our animatic i think that more closeup shots are needed to be put in to give the music video more variation to make it more interesting and exciting.

Location list
Location list
Wyke college entrance and outside campus. - Protagonist enters through the gates and walks down the path to interact with some piers. The college is perfect for this sequence as it reinforces the verisimilitude of the music video as it is a realistic place for the events to happen. Also our target audience can relate to the situation and surroundings.
Dining room - This location is necessary for the family eating scene to show how the family mistreats the protagonist. The dining room needs to really have the protagonist singled out and centred at the head of the table to symbolise his loneliness.
Quiet street - For this scene various health and safety issues come into play. As we are running somebody over attention could be brought to the fact that spectators might think there has been a real accident. So to avoid getting into trouble with the police we either need to film at a very early time or inform the police and the public in the surrounding area.
Function room - This room dosnt have to be to big as we only really need to use one of the walls to create the effect we are looking for. As we are having a cake with a candle this is a health and safety issue of either getting burnt or causing a fire.
Lecture theatre - We are going to be using the lecture theatre to create .......

When I was doing some back ground research on the track ‘Mad World’ which we are featuring in our music video I found that the track has been performed by a various number of artists and has been used to promote, compliment and advertise various different media forms such as film, video Games, trailers and television series.
The song was written in 1980 by Tears for Fears who are an English pop rock duo. When performed by Tears for Fears ‘Mad World’ was classed under the genre of electronic which was typical for the 80’s. This was the bands 3rd single which was originally intended to be a B side however it was the bands 1st chart hit reaching number 3 in the UK singles chart in November 1982. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZRib_aAQFQ
"Mad World" would achieve a second round of success beginning almost twenty years later, after it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001) which is of the Thriller Genre. Donnie Darko is a Drama/Thriller film about a troubled teenagers who is plagued by visions of a large rabbit that manipulates him to commit a series of crimes after narrowly escaping a bizzare accident. The track its self is in the genre of soft rock and helped to give the film Donnie Darko a powerful effect in creating the specific feelings towards the audience which we intend to harness and use in our project. It then became christmas number 1 single 0f 2003. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4
In 2006 the track was used to promote the Video game ‘Gears of War’ an action fantasy shooter game for Xbox 360 rated 18. When watching the advert for the video game the song gives the game trailer a powerful effect as it is a contrast to the fast paced action on the screen. Players are thrust in climatic clash between whats left of human kind and an awarming underground race called the locust Horde. The track really gives the game an eary and mysterious film to it which I feel has worked really well.
