This album was born through the friendship of four guys. Fast forward fifteen years, broken hearts, drunken nights and hungover mornings and ‘Wish you were there’ was created. Sitting around a campfire at Reading Festival 2009, cider in one hand, guitar in the other and magic was made. They sat and sung every night getting the whole of yellow camp involved, of course. The sun set and their silohettes and sounds created an atmopshere like no other. With love being the inspiration, mainly heart-wrenching breakups, it is pure beauty. An album was a long, far-fetched thought for the foursome as they stood in the muddy fields looking up to the Kings of Leon. The sung along, voices ready for the industry and that was the moment. The story behind the voice, the passion of the guitar and the soul of the harmonica are what bring the album together. There’s nothing more mesmorising than the deep, truely touching irish voice working collaboratively with the captivating music to create only the perfect album.
428914 miles, 55 cities, 43 encores, 260 full fat greasy service station breakfasts and uncountable cups of tea later and they’ve made it. Performing their tour every night like they never imagined.
So, here’s to the next five years.

Construction of video

premierecam from Clare Hanington on Vimeo.

I decided to create this video using the software CamStudio. This software allows you to screen capture moving image; I decided to record myself editing the video and the adjustment layers. I slowed down all of the footage by 50% as shown at the beginning. You can then see me adjusting the layers to create the correct saturated colour I wanted; bringing the saturation down to 48% and the brightness by 20%

Music Video Draft

Music Video Final from Haydon Media on Vimeo.


This will be my third draft of my music video. This now has all of the footage edited including the sections with the older lady. This is a near final version of my music video and all I need to do now is gain some audience feedback about anything they would change.

Production Log: Older lady filmshoot

I have recently conducted a film shoot to get the last bits of footage for my music video. This consisted of filming an older lady as if she were watching the television showing the end performance. For this particular section I had to think very carefully about the mise-en-scene and overall setting as this is what will inform the audience of what's going on. For this, I felt that using my Nan would be the most appropriate as arranging times to film and getting a location would not be difficult. I did not specify on costume/hair/makeup for this section unlike with the first as I did not feel this was vital. The most essential prop was the photograme with the picture of the actor and actress dressing in their 1950s outfits; this would be put in shot so that the audience will make the assumption and see the links between these tying the video together.

I used the Canon 600D camera with the aperture lens as I have for the rest of my music video which will give the same effect.

When it came to editing this footage I found that it was not entirely perfect quality and appeared slightly grainy due to the lack of lighting within the shots. To improve this, I intend to reshoot this section so it is of the same quality as the rest of the video.
