Music video draft

So here is one of my first drafts, it not completly finshed as i was just testing on how to

put separate videos together, i have come aware of some problems

such as pixals become interfered with other stop motion videos.

Also by creating a draft i have become much more aware of how to edit and

reform and sort out occuring problems, i am aware of several pull backs to the video

but this makes me learn more and how to make it better,

i am not sure whether to use the car travelling as the beginning of the video, as

in a certain aspect it could reflect the journey towards 'Colorado', here i have however first shown a scenee 'reflecting'

colorado' and then included the journey after a slight introduction,i feel this is effective as it introduces, so the music video becomes reconsible to the song, and the car moving image

extra, adds some depth pulling the audience into the video, asif

they feel part of the video.

Creating a draft i feel is a way of summarising what to do, what to do to improve, and to reflect on amplifying on other ideas.

From creating this draft, i have realised i want to add further footage of the beach making the beach shots longer, i'm not so sure about the wind- kite shot, even though it fits with the timing of the music, i think its quite bland (boring), i want to include more shots of people running, i have also noticed i much prefere the colours of the beach in the opening shot compared to the rest. The footstepps shot does in fact include me in the shot (well my shadow) i liked this at first as it showed direction, but of course if producing such a mainstream video its unlikely, very unlikely that you would feature yourself however, this is a school music video and so i suppose its much more personal.

I have found this quite difficult so far but its on it way to production..

Putting Edited final clips together

Here i have edited the shots used for this moving image, and placed them in tune with the

time of seconds of the song on where i want it to be.

separate videos on which i will be placing together to create the final music video.

Thinking about creating the DVD covers.

Oh Oh Oh...

I have looked at others like 'The smashing pumpkins'

and 'The Gallows' Dvd Covers, and although their styles

are mainly illustration, i have found it a big influence

in what you can and cant do with a dvd cover.

I have and am finding it an interesting

process in creating the dvd covers#

,

here these are just some quick ideas, didnt take long,

i am going to come up with a few different possibilitys and

decide which one, by a questionaire of the

general public, who would be the same

age group of the music's target audience.

So young teenagers to young adults?

Back of DVD cover.

(Every Dvd Cover has a back cover? right)

Well ive thought about that as well.

Back Cover?

Front Cover.

The Front cover above i have merged

several layers of imagery together

on Photoshop, and then placed seveal images over the top, i really like this, as it kind of

in a way resembles the stop motion video, (layers of imagery all stuck together

to create a moving image.)

Welcome 30H!3

Pictures for DVD COVER (OF BAND MEMBERS).

Of Course i dont actually know the real bandmemebers of 30H3 ,

ha so i am going to have to reincarnatee some characters,

i have decided to cast, Kevin, Guy and Ryan, as the three band members,

as this video is a 'scene like video' and so no footage of actually bandmembers,

they are needed just for the Dvd Cover.

I wanted three main images, one separate 'close up'/midshot, as i felt this would be pretty particular in emphasising the three OH three . (Three members)

Black and white photographs i feel will emphasise the stereotype

of music photography, also i feel it will contrast with the colours of the fixed shots that will be

in tact within the dvd cover.

I am with these (band like shots) going to use the still frames for my dvd cover.

Still Frames Of The Production.

Looking at some shots of the video:

this gives a direction of what the music video will look like, on terms of colours, depth, tone, contrast etc.

From the images above, i think you may now understand the kind of atmosphere

im wishing to capture, as the song is in fact about 'COLORADO' i wanted to

create a beach-like scene.

Creating the video production.- examples

of footage

I am having to create and edit my production on my laptop thus creating the production in my own time, leaving blogging, research and planning to lesson time.

After editing the separate photographs, i have transformed them into separate videos, so that they flow. After all separate videos are edited and organised, i will place them together in an order.

Examples of Video footage

(under edited)- so test videos, not actual edited final cut videos.

(currently the videos wont load, i dont know why so i may have

to try a different computer to see if this makes a difference)

The video above for example is a stopmotion video,

of all the continuous shots i took of walking along the beach looking down my feet. In a certain aspect a birds eye shot.
