At around 0:28-0:30 we are considering having the same effect in our video of the jack lead being plugged in to the amp.

Stage Update

This is a progress update for our filming on the stage. We spent a couple of hours filming and sorting out what type of lighting we will use. So far we have a few clips we can use and when we film next week we will be better prepared with using the lighting equipment and can hopefully get the majority of the stage clips shot.

This is how the Kooks started up and got their ideas from...interesting

"Sour" Webcam video

Here is the Sour webcam video that we posted earlier on the blog, but I am reposting the video as we have an interesting idea that this video helps to illustrate. For the lyrics "At my show on Monday..." we are going to split the screen into four sections, with each band member in one section. One person will have a piece of paper with the word "Monday" written on it and pass it to the next band member in the screen beside him. Then for the lyric "someday" another piece of paper with "someday" written on it will be passed between the two band members in the bottom two sections. For "Paper dreams" the two band members in the top will pour two boxes of shredded paper on the floor, but on the screen the paper will land on the two band members in the bottom screens.

some ideas

These are the pictures that we took today. However these are only stills we are going to shoot short clips of similar to these pictures.

Eoghan Murray lighting engineer

This is a sample show that Eoghan Murray has put together, he is helping us out with the lighting tomorrow in our film, really cool http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1741399288176

mise en scene

maybe it would be suitable tomorrow to bring in a few of these scarfs for mise en scene and to fit the image the kooks portray

List of Instruments We Need

Here is a list of what we need when we are filming onstage:
-Electric Guitar
-Acoustic Guitar
-Bass Guitar
-Drum Kit
-Mic Stands
-Amps
-Leads

We are planning on filming the onstage sequence this wednesday during school, and after school if we need extra time.

lighting effect

This is the type of effect we are going to create, with the silhouettes and bright lights. This is to hide the image that there is going to be no crowd, but creates the feeling that the band are playing a live gig.

The Cure video

Here is a video showing the silhouettes we are thinking of using onstage, hopefully we can make a similar effect which would make the background on the stage more interesting.

Lighting

Eoghan Murray is going to help our group with lighting, some really cool effects from behind the band looking upwards towards mounted lights where the lights blind the camera and silhouettes are created, would be a 4-5 second clip but would look well if done properly, filming starts next wednesday on the stage, other filming is going well with the car scenes
