The Gnome.

In class we were given a practice task of making a music video for a song chosen by our media teacher. This was to help us with our proper coursework task so we would know how much work has to go into the video. It also helped us with shots and editing. When we found out that the song we'd been given was The Gnome by Pink Floyd we were skeptical. Me and my group had never heard it before and when we first listened to it we didn't feel very inspired. After a few more listens we could tell that there was a clear narrative and started to see the appeal of the song.
Before we filmed we planned out what would happen in our video using a storyboard. We cast Hadyn as 'the gnome' and had the rest of the group playing in a band. I would be filming for shots like this. We chose our locations, which were mainly based in the school music room and just outside the school grounds. Here's our storyboard:

On the day we started filming Sam had brought in his own camera so we had two different angle shots of the same thing, this was very beneficial when it came to editing as it meant we could make it look more authentic. We asked Haydn to bring in a hat and scarf, just so he'd look more like a gnome. We took lots of shots so we'd have enough clips to fill out the whole song. The filming of the band was a lot more difficult than we thought it would be. The main issue was that no one knew the words to the song and a lot of time was wasted trying to learn them on the spot. This is something that will definitely help me in the future with other videos. I know now that the people involved should know the lyrics or the script beforehand to save valuable filming time.

This video has unfortunately been removed from YouTube even after countless uploads.
