Meeting 2

Today we once again met up with the band, Raided By Waves with the addition of Lucy just to go over the finalised details and plans for the set up day and the filming day at MTV next week. We were able to discuss shot lists and finalised concept for the video, confirm costume and arrange travel. As a group we felt this short meeting was extremely useful as it now means that everyone is aware of what is going to be taking place when it comes to filming, James has also be able to contact a make-up artist who will be helping out on the day of filming. This is useful as it betters our chances of creating an even more professional video.

Meeting 1

Today wet up with James and Charlie from Raided By Waves to talk to them and in form them of our current ideas relating to the music video for Secret. This was also a good opportunity to introduce each other to one another so that when it comes to filming we aren't complete strangers and will be able to work effectively together as a result. As a group we feel the meeting went well and and we look forward to continuing our research and planning for the video and will arrange to meet up with the band again once our decisions for the video have been finalised.

Meeting With MTV

After contacting Phil Goulden, Josh's cousin through Facebook we were able to set up a meeting with him and MTV to pitch our music video proposal to them in the hope that we could potentially use their studio as our location and their equipment to film our video. Here is a copy of our proposal:

We travelled down to London Liverpool Street on the train and then made our way to Camden Town station via the tube arriving around 1:30pm with our meeting at 2. We then had a small tour and were shown the studio where we were able to take some photo's for planning purposes. I also took my iPad with me as I had a copy of all our notes and questions to ask. This was also useful when writing down information given to us by MTV themselves. 

 

Our meeting was a successful one and as a result we have now gained permission to use MTV's studio in Camden. We will be filming on October 23rd and have also been given permission to set up the day before. We now plan to contact the band letting them know the situation and plan accordingly. We are extremely pleased with this outcome as we believe it will give us a greater chance of creating a more professional video.
