Problems then solutions

Our problem was that the warehouse that we are filming at declined our request to throw the powder paint around their car park. Alice then got in touch with county council and they delined our request as well.
Luckily, I have grandparents that own a huge space of land. I asked them on Friday and they had to have a discussion with each other before they gave ma an answer. They got back to me on October, 13th and they agreed to ou rrequest if we can make sure that the paint will not stain the grass.

Youth Cultures

Youth cultures are formed from a specific dress code/ fashion, music influences, rebellion again what society deems 'the norm', having a collective identity with in this group and being marginalised and misunderstood. The word teenager falls into and means a constructed social group. This word teenager could have been created by marketers to seel products to this specific group of young people.


Ketley theory 2007- "Among young people themselves, a wide range of colourful labels such as "Goths, Skaters, Greebos and Surfers" are often used to make distinctions between the behaviours of specific frienship groups"

Critera for their to be a youth culture include:
  • dress code
  • music influences
  • expression
  • being marginalised
  • having an opinionated leader
  • literature- fan magazine and fan websites
  • fitting into a group but then also being an outsider.
Collective identity is the self that finds its solidarity with others who are similar.
Mediated, this is how the media influences and portrays social groups and the influence this has on their identity.
"We" media means that the marginalised social groups
have often used media as a way of forgiving theirown collective identity.
Prosumers are producers and consumers, we consume and distribute- due to the proliferation of technology.

THIS IS NOT COMPLETED, THIS IS A FIRST LOOK AT OUR IDEAS FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO AND THE IDEAS OF SOME TRANSITIONS WE WILL OR COULD USE FOR THE VIDEO.

Powder paint planning

 I came up with the idea of using the powder of powder paint to use in our music video. Alice did not like the idea at first but when she practiced with it, she understood why i wanted to use it.  I took the inspiration from one of my favourite song 'Up In The Air' by Thirty Seconds To Mars. This music  video has a scene using powder paint that looks really effective.

I like this shot because of the slow motion and you
can see the facial expression of the person in the video.
Also the way the powder is thrown is an interesting way.
To add i also love the colours they have used to contrast.
I like the idea of a powder paint colourful fight. This shot
could be used because it feels as if you are apart of the
 fight.


I like the camera shot in this image, i also like the way
they have used a line to separate the people in the video.
Also the way the powder is being thrown is interesting.

I like the way her face is hidden behind the powder.
I like the way the facial expression can just be seen
through the paint. The way the powder disperses
through the air would also be a cool way to throw the
powder. I love the colour contrast here as well.








 
These are images from the music video which I really liked.

During our last hour of college, me and Alice chose the colours of powder paint that we will use. The colours we chose were:
  • Brilliant red
  • Lemon Yellow
  • Purple
  • Sky blue
  • Cerise
  • Turquoise
  • Leaf green
We have already been to see the art teacher who allowed us to take a sample of powder paint and try it out. We have also already ordered 2.5kg of powder paint per colour through the college from teh EPSO book.
