Film Locations:

Bristol City Centre: Night time (convention of a party atmosphere for the Trance Music Genre)

House (Main part of the video, again filmed at night, possible colour flashing from house neon blue) This will be an inside shoot. The house shoot for the party scene will be the most productive, due to majority of the actors I will be using will not be old enough to go into clubs.

Journey through Bristol, showing off landmarks: Suspension Bridge (again night time shoot)

Spine: Near At-Bristol (Iconic landmark for journey before reaching party)

Moodboard:

Moodboard on various items and backgrounds relating to the Trance Music Genre.

Colour on Camera:

To create the blue neon effect on the shots without having to resort to only lighting, I could use different PVC sheets to cover the camera lens with a coloured sheet to create this effect.

From the audience research I would have to have the main colour as neon blue. RThis could easily be done by putting the sheet over the camera lens and have lighting at various points to create different shadows of blue.

First Ideas:

House Party:

This is the effect on how busy the party scene should be, in the trance music video. This also follows with the convention of alcohol and bright lights filling the room. In the Trance genre, the re-occurring theme (Goodwin) of the colour neon blue, in majority of the scenes flashing. The colour needs to fill the frame when the house party takes place.

To solve the problem of making the party scene look busy, with could be

achieved by lots of close-ups and pull focus shots so the background

is blurred to make the scene look busier.

The dancing (with diegetic music) has to be in time with the music, as

if they are listening to it, as the audience do.

Club:

Again the club scene would have to be crowded with people in the mis-en-scene. The typical view point the camer

a would be placed is facing e

ither behind the DJ like in this photo, or behind the crowd, showing the bright flashing lights. Neon blue in conventions of trance music.Another convention of the trance club scene is various close

-ups of the DJ playing the music, as if the audience is part of the club audience. This could also help with the pr

oblems of creating a busy par

ty scene, however would limit the various lengths of shots and the same people in shot may become repetative and unrealistic. Another problem with bright flashing lights is, that it might effect exposure on the camera causing the focus to become blurred.
