eclectic sessions- unit 43.
P1.
Title: Eclectic Sessions.
Genre: Live acoustic music video.
Duration: Between 3-5 minutes, but preferably 5 minutes.
Target Audience: Young adults between 16-25 because this age range are more likely to be frequent on social media sites that the band will place their music video on. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Sound cloud).
Outline: Creating a professional looking live acoustic music video for bands or individual solo artists on the small budget. For the band or solo artist this is great because, we are helping them promote their acoustic sessions that will be uploaded to social media platforms that they are on.

Rationale: It’s been a good idea in the past with previous year groups within Boomsatsuma and now with the current year group, Year 13. This is our second to last project that we are completing and it’s putting to test and showing off our individual and team skills. Such as, photography skills, so taking photos correctly and in focus, filming skills, setting the camera scenes properly, in the grid of three, audio skills, using and recording the audio within the setup and using motion graphics skills during editing.
Those are the skills that will be put to test along with team work.
Other than that, our main hit is to help the bands and university’s they come from in the sense of helping to promote their music and appreciation that they will take from it.

Legal and ethical issues:
Below, I have created 2 storyboards of how the eclectic sessions will be storyboarded once performed and filmed.
They will began with an open of the band or their name or an ident created by students, moving to a wide shot of the whole group, close ups of instruments or the band individually, a pan over to them all or again individual members and then an ending.
Below, I have again created a set design for the Eclectic sessions.
This will have all members of the band including the camera man/camera women, the lighting operator and director.
