This lesson, I located a website which specifies different websites which will aid me in creating a storyboard. I am considering the one that best fits my needs and will download it to design the storyboard.

Also, I learnt of programs such as Jing to serve as a documentation of my progress. I will now attempt to use this in my project.

This is a documentation which serves as evidence of my online conversation with my client.
26/04/2010 18:49:03 Aziii Ayra can i please ask you a few questions
26/04/2010 18:49:05 Aziii Ayra as my client

26/04/2010 18:50:33 Aziii Ayra Furthermore, would you prefer an ensemble group, band, solo singer, duet...?
26/04/2010 18:51:20 Aziii Ayra And last, can you help me to generate my music by specifying ONE word that comes to mind which I will then use as a stimulus to write the song?
26/04/2010 18:51:38 Aziii Ayra Finally, any additional comments or suggestions you may have: ___________________________________________________________________________________

Ayra says:
First of all, what type of tempo, style and meaning do you want the song to be?
I think that when it comes to the style and meaning of a song, it depends on who you are as a musician and that the tempo depends on the style and meaning of a song. Personally, I think that Pop is best suited for you because of your singing style. The meaning of the song should definitely be about something that most people can relate to, therefore I think that your song should be a story about a break up or a situation where love isn’t going right. When in comes to the tempo, you can look at it both ways because the meaning and style of the song is quite flexible. However, I think that it should be a faster tempo because it is more upbeat.
Also, what are the three required aspects you would like me to include in the music video?
For your music video, I think that it is important that you have an interesting story-line which tells the story of your song. I also think that you should have split screens showing different scenes like maybe one screen of you singing and the other of the story. Finally, I think that you should use effects creatively such as using a black and white to show something that happened in the past and transitions between each setting such as fading or focusing in and out to make the music video to look more professional.
Furthermore, would you prefer an ensemble group, band, solo singer, duet...?
I think that you should either go for a band or solo. If you recorded your song as a band, you would have to take into account that you need to find parts for each member and arrange rehearsal times. However if you were just by yourself, you would still need instruments to be recorded but I think I can see you more as a solo artist.
And last, can you help me to generate my music by specifying ONE word that comes to mind which I will then use as a stimulus to write the song?
Worthless
Finally, any additional comments or suggestions you may have:
I think that you should have someone else singing backing vocals and harmonies in your song because I think it would make it sound more professional.

Entry 18- Design Stages
Since I am creating a music video as my final product, I am at the stage where I must provide a storyboard showing when and where different shots will be taken and where certain effects/transitions will take place. I will also indicate what extras and sound effects will be used.
I am in the process of making creative and technical decisions to map out a storyboard.
Here are some photographs that I took of prospective locations for filming the music video:

Entry 17-Proposed Product
Input requirements:
-video--> split screening to show multiple scenes and give the auidence a more in depth view.
-music--> audio will be the original song synchronised with any backing intruments and vocals.
-graphics--> scenes will be related to the meaning behind the lyrics, but will also show the instruments being played and indirectly express the background, more subtle elements and reflect the tone of the music through colour symbolism, facial expression and camera angles/shot sizes.
Output requirements:
-format of final video file: Flash, this is because it is highly compatible and has a relatively small file size.
-media avaliablity: cd (playable disk) and also an embedded link will be provided on the corresponding website

Entry 16 Background Research
After using the internet to search for generalised information about the criteria of music videos,these are my findings:
A music video is a short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music/song. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Although the origins of music videos go back much further, they came into their own in the 1980s, when MTV based their format around the medium, and later with the launch of VH1. The term "music video" first came into popular usage in the early 1980s. Prior to that time, these works were described by various terms including "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional (promo) clip" or "film clip".
Music videos use a wide range of styles of film making techniques, including animation, live action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some music videos blend different styles, such as animation and live action.
