Other Milestones
I have finally recorded the song avec backing track, with the help
of my fellow classmate Rico. The holidays have started, and the remaining
editing and resource using due will be completed across the upcoming weeks. I
have also started work on the report, and intend to have a first draft finished
round about the end of the holidays.
The video is partially based upon the shock value of the message
through the song and video, including sending a harsh and clear message through
the footage of famous shootings. The project was designed primarily as a form
of protest-against the inherent violence which is seeming to become commonplace
in society today, even in the first world.
I’m hoping to finish the work in the next few days.

Here is a visualisation of how my chord progression could potentially be performed (in score).

Survey Results
My surveys failed to bring in much useful information, so I will have to apply my own knowledge of film and absurdity.

Record of Information
This post will act as my permanent collection of important information from now on.
My most important framing technique will be using the edges of the frame for effect, cutting important elements in and out as the tone of the music calls for it. Another important technique is the speed of the video, and a fluctuating speed can add a surreal tone to proceedings-I will therefore film at 120fps for the vast majority of my work.
Other important techniques include focusing on the main character and not hanging too long long on any one scene.
I (or someone helping me) will perform every instrument live as long as that is possible. I have friends that perform a variety of instruments, I should be perfectly capable of achieving this goal if things go to plan.
My current plan is to perform the guitar myself as part of my secondary learning objectives-this could change, but I hope it won't.
Provocative scenes I could use (obviously all faked if they include depicted illegal actions, the video is designed to make a point on the irresponsibility of society, and drugs are a good example of that, for instance) are:
Climbing onto a "private" building's roof
Drinking (faked with Coke, obviously)
Stepping out of a hot/mistbox
Nutella being spread on "protagonist"'s face
Slow motion leap into water fully clothed
Slow motion cutting into leaving train
Face down on floor covered in weird objects like TP
Slow motion football (derivatives)
Knocking books off bookshelves
Netflix
Crying over spilt milk
Shoveling face, from someone else's hand
The recordings will begin this week (31st of Oct, 1st of Nov)
