Week 4

Just created character trait diamonds in the tutorial. Made me think of a story behind the song for the video, rather than random scenes:

Main character finds out his his girl friend is cheating on him
So lots of angry scenes and the couple arguing

Boyfriend won an award for me in The Movies last night so I can FINALLY put the cheat in and use all levels and all costumes

Week 3

Recorded song with my brother so I can start matching it to video clips. I really wish I could sing - this is going to be so embarrassing!

Week 3

I thought the video would start with a zoom in on a street, then a house , then a living room, then a basement.

Verse 1:
You would then see the guy tied to a chair trying to break free fading into his mouth when he is screaming.

Chorus:
Guy driving into the sunset on a motorbike, then camera angle turns to a close up on faces fading into close up on his eye. Turning into someone singing the last line of the chorus on a stage.

Verse 2:
Couple arguing etc...

Guitar Solo:
Maybe a guy playing guitar onto of a hill but this is a bit cheesy so trying to think of something better.

End on the song zooms back out the opposite way it came in.

Week 3

After hours of listening to music, I've finally got inspiration from metallica.
Wrote lyrics to a song but my guitar playing is pretty rubbish so I'm going to go home at the weekend and ask my little brother to play and sing for me

Week 2

Still haven't won an award on The Movies - need to practice playing computer games more.

Week 2

After a lot of game play I'm back to square one as my director keeps getting drunk and rehab isn't working! I have found a cheat to unlock everything in the game but you need to win an award before you can use it.

Week 2

In the tutorial I realised that if I wanted to get good marks for a music video I would need to write and record my own song. This will be difficult but it is something that I would like to do so I'm going to go ahead with it.

Week 2

After the lecture, I decided I now wanted to do a music video. I went out and bought "The Movies" and "Max Payne 2" and started playing around with the software. The movies is harder than I thought because you have to set up a studio and train your actors before you can make decent movies.

Week 1

I decided to do a film trailer so today I came up with a basic idea:

Action/Love Film:
Leading Guy - Jack Star
Leading Girl - Kate Smith
Bad Guy - Ivor Killen
2nd Bad Guy - Dave "The Python" Baldy
3rd Bad Guy - Tom Grey

Storyline:
Girl getting tortured by bad guys because she knows where the stone of Ahara is hidden and they want it
Jack saves her
They go on the run
She needs to tell the keeper of the stone that people are looking for it

Initial Scenes:
1. Production Company Scenes
2. Flashes of torture scenes
3. Jack bursts in and saves girl
4. Chase scenes

Will start to do storyboard nest week
