Hey Jas and Zoe,
just want to apologise for not being there for the last week of school but I was so rough I wouldn't have so much as been contributing as falling asleep on your shoulders/the keyboard/everything.
Regarding the track choice - I'm fine with that song (and would've been fine with any of them) so that's all good
Regarding the idea - I'm having trouble seeing why we did all the brainstorming and planning as a group only to decide on an idea thought up by both of you way way way before we even really started the project. I don't particularly like the idea as a whole, though certain aspects I do like.
These aspects are the ones we discussed as a group, such as a possible picnic scene, but the fact that the entirity of the idea has reverted to your initial plan, which I had no part in, makes the whole planning and discussion process completely redundant, with the only contribution of mine to the idea being the girl in the wedding dress, which is taken completely out of context can I add ;)
I just wanted to let you know where I stand and why. What I want out of this project is a music video which I can not only be proud of but also reference as a piece of work that I had creative and technical input into, and I don't feel that I'd get that with this idea.
Also, just wondering why the group had two meetings in my absence, when the week before I was ill we had none?
I know this is some massive bit of holiday reading for you two, sorry about that :D, but I just wanted to get you feedback now at the first chance I've had so we have time to discuss the project over summer ready for when we get back.
Right, that's everything. Talk to you both soon,
Paul x

Possible location
Durnsford Park, Durnsford Road, just up from Bounds Green station.

These photos show a possible place to hang two sheets from in order to do the paint scene. The downsides are that it is not a particularly secluded area, and behind the fence is a nursery school, although its unlikely we would be shooting in school time anyway.

This photo shows a large field that would be good for filming the picnic scene in, as it looks attractive from most angles, and gives us plenty of room to be creative with our shots.

These 4 photos all show possible pairs of trees that we could hang a sheet from. The downside of the first 2 is that we would need to cover the path, which wouldnt work very well on a busy day, while the disadvantage of the third is that it's on a slope. The fourth pair of trees seems like it would work the best.

This photo shows a slope that could be used for some interesting shots, for example people running up or down it.

This photo shows another aesthetically interesting location that could be used somehow, and would make a nice shot.
The only downside to this park is that it is very public, there is a childrens playground, and the fields are often used for sports. The picture below shows the playground area, and the basketball courts.

This video gives more of an idea of how the park looks overall, giving a 360' view from the bottom field.

Song Lyrics
Lyrics:
1-11, seconds before music starts, strange noises
11-20, just drum beat
20-29, music no lyrics
29+, lyrics begin
29-39, Verse 1
Translation:
I like a lot of what you do
I like your style,
I like your game
But I know that you can do better
For every day, every night
I play the bass - you play the low one
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - you play the synth
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?
I play the bass - also bongos
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - a little banjo
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?
Insane success is in the cage to the sharks
Between us why not
Even if that does not serve anything
One knows where you finish your refrains
I say where, I say where?
In the mouth of the morons.
I play the bass - you play the congas
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - a little sitar
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?
I play the bass - harmonica
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - also saxo
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?
Crazy success is in the cage to the sharks
Between us why not
Even if that does not serve anything
One knows where you finish your refrains
I say where, I say where?
In the mouth of the morons.
This is as well as that
heats from the top down
This is as well as that
Everyone knows the steps
This is as well as that
Play is once more
This is as well as that1,2,3,4
I play the bass - you play the low one
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - you play the synth
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?
I play the bass - also the bongos
I play the piano - who's gonna sing ?
I play the synth - a little banjo
I play the rhodes - who's gonna sing ?

J'aime beaucoup, c'que tu fais
J'aime ton style, j'aime ton jeu
Mais je sais, que tu peux faire mieux
Car chaque jour, chaque nuit

I play the bass - tu joues de la basse

58-1:17, verse 2
Succès fou dans la cage aux requins
Entre nous pourquoi pas
Même si ça ne sert à rien
On sait tous où finissent tes refrains
Dis moi où, dis moi où ?
Dans la bouche des crétins.
1:17-1:37, chorus

On sait tous où finissent tes refrains
Dis moi où, dis moi où ?
Dans la bouche des crétins.
1:57- 2:16, change
C'est bien comme ça
Ça chauffe de haut en bas
C'est bien comme ça
Tout le monde connais les pas
C'est bien comme ça
Joue le encore une fois
C'est bien comme ça1,2,3,4 - 2:13-2:16,(1,2,3,4)
2:16-2:35

Eliminating Songs: Round One
Where is my mind? - Pixies
Because: Zoe and Jasmine particularly don't like it, and because it received the lowest overall score.
Tell Me - The Moths
Because: No-one particularly liked it, and because it received the second-lowest overall score due to the focus on lyrics.
Dancing in the Moonlight - Toploader
Because: Although we like the song, we believe it already has an institutional image, and people will focus too much on the song rather than on our video
California - The Kooks
Because: The lyrics would have had to be quite a focus, and we believed the conventions of the genre would be too hard to stray from
The Narcissist - The Libertines
Because: Jasmine and Paul preffered the other songs on the Possibles list

Meeting One Notes
Meeting One
Date and Time: Monday 2nd July, 9:30 - 10:50
Members present: All
Focus: Song Discussion/Aims and targets for the brief and overall project
Aims:
- To produce an effective modern music video which fits the criteria of the brief
- For our music video to be unusual, and draw in the target audience
Possible songs:
Song for Clay - Bloc Party (Paul)
Patins - CSS (Zoe)
Song 1: Bloc Party
Pros
- Easy song to fit different styles of video to (ie narrative- or performance-based)
- Good rhythm
Cons
- Lyrics are hard to understand
- Too heavy/rocky - we believe this genre has too many conventions, and so we wouldn't be able to construct an obscure narrative, which was one of our aims
Song 2: CSS
Pros
- Unusual song and different style - allows us to comply with our aim of producing a more unusual and obscure video
- Lack of conventions for genre allows originality and creativity
Cons
- Focus isn't on the lyrics
End Result
We decided that, as one member of the group didn't like the CSS song and another member of the group didn't like the Bloc Party song, we would say no to both for now and try to think of some other possibilities which would appeal more to all members of the group
Other Choices
Space and the Woods - Late of the Pier (Zoe)
Pop the Glock - Uffie (Zoe)
Rebellion Lies - ArcadeFire (Paul)
We then decided to discuss genre, making lists of genres we didn't particularly want to work with, genres that were possible, and genres that we particularly liked.
Dislike:
- Grime (too difficult)
- Rap (too difficult)
- Dance (too difficult)
- Hard Rock (too many existing conventions)
- Country and Western (not modern enough)
Possible:
- Techno
- Drum and Bass
- Reggae
Like:
- Indie
- Nu-rave
- Alternative
Targets for next meeting:
- Each member of the group should compile a list of at least 10 possible song choices on their blog
- Each member of the group should do an ideas brainstorm or a synopsis for one idea on their blog
