Lyrics:

Have you got color in your cheeks?

Do you ever get that feelin' that you can't shift the tide

That sticks around like summat's in your teeth

Ah, there's some aces up your sleeve

Have you no idea that you're in deep

I dreamt about you nearly every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?

'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow

When I play it on repeat

Until I fall asleep

Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying

Things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?

'Cause I always do

Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?

Been wondering if your heart's still open and

If so I wanna know what time it shuts

Simmer down and pucker up

I'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly

On the cusp of trying to kiss you

I don't know if you feel the same as I do

But we could be together, if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying

Things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (calling when you've had a few)

'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)

Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you, (do I wanna know?)

If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)

Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

(Baby we both know)

That the nights were mainly made for saying

Things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)

Too busy being yours to fall

(Sad to see you go)

Ever thought of calling darling?

(Do I wanna know)

Do you want me crawling back to you?

Campaign Video for Joe

Today I have helped a second year with his campaign video as he is wanting to be accepted into the role of student president. To help him I let them use my SD card for the camera and Headphones to record audio, another job I helped out with was moving the lights when they started doing interviews around the crew so it was clear on the camera who they where asking questions to.

Home Work (Music Video Analysis)

Overview

Goodbye Mr. A was produced on the 8th October 2007, by the Hoosiers, from the album: ‘The trick to life’. This song is noted for it’s similarities to Electric Light Orchestra, Mr. Blue Sky, etc.

The video itself is was written in the key of B major and was created in memory of frontman Irwin Sparkes’ secondary school English teacher, Jonathan “Mr. A” Anderton, after Sparkes heard of Anderton’s death in 2006. The Video to “Goodbye Mr A” is reminiscent of superhero comics and popular culture, such as the 1960s Batman television series. In the video, The Hoosiers kidnap Mr. A, a comic-book character and the world’s greatest superhero. They then take his place fighting crime as incompetent anti-heroes. Despite being fired into space at the end, Mr. A. Survives and opens his eyes; this is reference to the film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

My Own Thoughts

In the video they use a small comic sketch to show the quirky visuals of comics, after these visuals the front man Irwin Sparkes enters the lair where the drummer and guitarist start playing as they get changed into their uniform to take the place of Mr A and plan to remove him from the picture.

In some of the scenes you get a small close up of Mr. A being hoisted from a rope above a pit of acid and at the end when he is launched into space and opens his eyes. Just before he is launched into space by the hoosiers Irwin Sparkes rips of his mask as a way to humiliate him for his incompetence of fighting crime.

In most of the scenes there is a number of close up and mid-shots to show their dominance and superiority to Mr. A and make the scenes more clear because of the quality of the video. At 55seconds into the video their is a number of newspapers placed on a bow stating that Mr. A is kidnapped and their loss of a hero which allows criminals to roam the streets without anyone to stop them, the scene for this is a close up of the papers which shows their urgence for a hero and how lost the city is without someone to inspire them and keeps the streets safe even though Mr. A did not do such a good job.

Paranoia (Student Short-film)

Today I have finished editing the short-film that both 1st years and 2nd years have created, there where about 4-5 different shots that shows different points of view of both antagonist and protagonist.

This film is about an office worker who suffers from paranoia as he feels like someone or something is watching him.

Horror Film

As a group the 1st years and the 2nd years started a Horror short film based on a broadcast set that is haunted as the Robo and Bobo try to escape the clutches of the pesky poltergeist. We have not finished production but as a group we have decided to take a couple more shots as an advancement to the scenes as we only have 2/5 shots required.

Lessons (Editing Practice Microfilm)

13th September 2017

Today i have worked with another two members of the class (Luke Smith and Adam Cowperthwaite) during which we created a small microfilm to use in Adobe premiere so we could have a look the basics and how to use the application. With the help we got from Mark (our editing tutor) we managed to ingest our footage so Adobe premiere could find our footage and cut the video in the timeline to be made into one continuous shot.

First Blog Post

Why did you choose this course and what inspires you to do it?
The reason I have chosen SRC's Film and TV course is because of social media such as YouTube which give millions of people the freedom to create their own films of series where larger companies such as universal their ideas for their films which are big in production. The main films that inspire me to create my own comes from the 'Alien' franchise and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' which are both towards the Sci-Fi genre, this is because of the way the have been developed and advertised on the local television.

What are you most looking forward  too?
The main thing I am looking forward too do in my course is getting the chance to create my own videos and helping U-Films with their social media, Some good things that would be joyous is using the Dolly tracks and crane as it helps create a more interesting composition, as well as working along side the actors who would be staring in the videos.

What kind of things are you anxious or worried about?
Some problems I am worried about is the choosing the actors and how reliable they are because during filming the lack of actors can lead to the video not being filmed and if the acting is bad it could lower the quality of the video which means the video might not be used.

Another thing I am worried about is the quality of the equipment (and I don't mean resolution) because if someone uses the equipment and doesn't charge it, it could ruin a shoot and could possibly also lower the quality of the video. Another issue with the equipment is how well the crew looks after it and avoiding and accidents that could happen with the crew and equipment such as knocking the camera and tripping over loose wires on set.

 Future careers
Once I've finished college I am hoping to maybe get a job with ITV or making my own shortfilms.
