We started the production planing for our music video of "shoot it out" There was a pack of documents blackboard to fill in. We shared out these jobs.
I did:
Props list
Risk assessment
Location Research
22/10.12:
Later we decided to use a second location to film the opening sequence of the video. This was by the road outside college. I researched the location took the photos and did other risk assessment.
Today we went out to the same location to film the Reinterpretation. We decided to change the scene to horror genre. We made the scene into horror by cutting it differently and changing the tone of voice and the actor screaming louder to sound scared
The things that went well:
Ragan helped William for Editing (William was not good at Mac)
Improved footage because camera more stable
Finished on time
Everyone had a turn at editing
The things that not went well:
Ryan was not there
A new student needed to catch up.
Jump in footage so filled it with still shot.
After editing, we rendered it and export it into DVD. We download a clip of the original scene and put it on DVD. We finished the documentation and handed in our finishing work.
I thought the project went well because we made a good teamwork than on last week.
A Reconstruction of a scene from a film, shot by shot as accurately as possible.
A reinterpretation of the scene, changing something small to give the scene a different meaning.
At the morning, the group decide pick the film called "Anchorman" Glass Case Of emotion Scene
We had to fill in the pre-production document from blackboard.
We filled in forms for:
Resources needed
Health and safety
Contingency plan
Shot list
Script
Storyboard
Costing

I let Harry to use my laptop to finish his works without wasting efforts to find other Mac and I gave him some good ideas about the risk list. We went outside to find phone box.
Things that went well:
Found good location close by for phone box and hub for office scene
Harry and George acted well
Footage was good
Things that not went well:
Rain
Camera len's getting wet (Not all the parts of camera)
Jacket's zip in shot (Jacket cover to protect the camera from getting wet)
Reflection on glass (It was blocking Harry's face)
Sound traffic in background (It caused audience or Editor find it a bit hard to hear Harry's speech)
For our assignment we have to make a music video in our production group. We had a planning meeting to talk about ideas.
We want to use the Alan Ayckboure theatre in York college however there doesn't have to be a stage just a black or white background to match the leaflet Scott said he would ask for permission to use the theatre. We are emailing Fibbers to find out how much it would cost to hire the room for one morning/ afternoon in case we can't use the college theatre.
We know people who are on the music course who can perform the song. These are real musician.
There will be more than one probably and we want two angles at the same time on the band performing. One for long shots and one for close ups. Double the footage more to choose from for the edit. Also panning shots.
Roles:
Dan and Ginny will do the storyboard.
William and Jackie will be cameramen.
Dan will also direct too and Ginny is coordinator.
Two team doing the editing on the 2 lots of footage. William/Jackie and Danny and Ginny work with Naomi the final edit.
Our production group is Danny, Ginnie, Jackie, Naomi and me.
We chose the song "shoot it out" by 10 years for our music video project.
Here is the onginal video of the song.
Analyse of “shoot it out” by 10 years – original video.
Shoot it out by 10 year
The beginning is done in silhouette -they are wearing black clothes
to create the silhouette the red background. The genre is American rock music. The music is
fast. The background change between red, white, and blue which are colour of
the American flag. The live footage is a collage of fast cut. The effects are
come from After Effect because these effects of old film footage in front of
the band. The shaky camera is not a man-made, it’s computer-made because this
shaky camera is too fast than normal people also it made from After effect. The speed effect is more to use
in the scenes because the speed effect follow the music speed.
This bands called 10 years and they are kind of American alternative metal band. They look kind of Goth or Emo. Their Audiences of target are Emo, Goth, Musician, Fans and Metal genes Fans. Their target of ages are about teens to 35 years old.
The all effects that I would to use in Stop motion; colour correction, Mask Tool for making objects to hide from viewers, shaky camera and motion tracking. The Resources plan need Camera, lighting, Green screen, Objects like paper or leaflet, small objects for motion tracking. The location plan would use the college's Alan Ayckbourn Theatre if they agree and outside York of theatre would use as back up. All total costs are about £20 to £100 or less if we don't use outside York of theatre.
The band at the start gets posted a leaflet and on the leaflet it has a made up record label and when all the band touch it they all get warped/sucked into the "as live" performance music video part.
At the end of the song make it seem the lyrics and the music are ripping the paper universe they are in then it breaks completely and they come back and the leaflet is ripped up.
We analysed the music videos from last week and talked about technical qualities, entertainment value and interpretation. Here is what I thought of the video.
Brake:
Reverse footage was put in because they needed to make it longer! The lip sync was off- time. The editing was a bit off beat. The aggression and running fitted the track but was a bit slow for the style. Not enough close ups. I like the part of jump in with reverse because it look more creative. If I'm doing it then I would to make more beat style, more quick shots about fighting and running actions. I would add more scene for lip sync and to make a good ending.
Globe alone:
Entertaining but people thought it was random and didn't make any sense. It fitted quite well with the song. The lip synch was pretty good. The pace of the action fit well with the pace of the music. The lip sync should have been more aggressive to match the song. the Location was boring. The camera was wonky. It looked unplanned but it needed to be planned to look random. This was my group's video if I was doing it again I would improve it by Camera movement, angle and bit more focus on Dancers. I would make more shots than 2 shots in the original video. I would improve the colour correction and find better locations.
This will be our year:
The lip sync looked creepy and was out of time! The editing was pretty good and the general concept fit the theme of the song. The camera work was good with some interesting shot and they made an effort to find a decent location. It was a fun, jokey concept. It looked a bit like a scene from a movie but if the lip sync was better it would look more like a music video. I would Improve by lip sync, more locations, more scenes for lip sync, more close ups shots.
We got into production groups and chose our song for our music video project. The song we chose was "Shoot it out" by 10 years, We watched the original music video and each of us came up with our own ideas and then we chose the best. My idea was stop motion and I made power point with my pitch.
After everyone explained their ideas and we chose one to make.
