I have researched into some different record labels to help me produce my own record label to go along with my research and planning before we produce our music video. Although I have research into depth about different record labels such as the 'Big Four' companies this isn't necessarily going to help me produce a record label but it is good to have the information in the back of my mind. I can see most of the labels take quite a simple approach when it comes to design and this is something I will take into consideration when producing my own record label.

Progress So Far

We have been filming for the last couple of media lessons to get our performance and narrative shots complete. We started with a plan of the shots and locations of what we were going to film to try and get as much footage done as possible. We set up our media classroom with exam tables and different coloured chairs to make the scene look like more of a younger classroom environment, as the story line for the video

We focused on the performance shots within the classroom where Jessie J is seen singing on her own.
We then went on to look at some of the narrative shots which we filmed in the corridors inside of the school, which made it easier for our group to film as our location was inside of school. We made a rough story board which were able to follow during filming so we knew what shots we had to film.

All of these shots have been uploaded onto the editing machines so that we could sync our song with the shots that we had. We still have a few narrative shots that we need to film but these are much more complex and are going to include more props than what we have been used to using in the shots that we have already filmed.

I have emailed the company that owns the song to assure it is ok to use the song that we are intending to use for our music video and to let them know that it is for educational purposes only.
