Editing

Today we started to edit and completed 40 seconds of the video. The first 40 seconds of the video below is is the completed start of the video however the rest is still in progress which is why the lip sinking is out to the music. 

                               

Once we started to edit one of the shots shows a coat hanger to the left of him and a picture frame above him. So that this would not come out in the final footage we had to crop the video. As you can see in the picture above there is a black border around the footage. Once this had done i left the editing and the others in my group managed to change this. 

Filming

Today we started to film our music video to The Colours song "Tonight I Let You Go". Here are several photos we took while we were filming. 

Resources

To do our music video there is a list of props, equipment, cast and crew that we need.
As this is just a small production there are a lot of the cast and crew that will have many different roles.
We will need:
Actors
Camera operator
Editor
Director
all of these may have different people doing them at different times maybe due to, unforeseen circumstances, people having other tasks to do at that time, for example if some one is ill or if someone is doing the acting someone else will have to take their role for this time.

The equipment we will need is:
Camera
Tripod- to do static shots
Monopod- to give the handheld effect- so we can film tracking shots.

We are yet to decide what exact props we will need for our final music video however a list of our props for the draft was:
A Didi Car
A wind up toy
These were the only placed props we used in our draft.

In this mood board we have selected images that reflect words from the song and that we could possibly use these as an idea for our music video. 

100 greatest music videos No. 1

Number 1 on the greatest music videos is Thriller by Michael Jackson released in 1983 is the greatest music video due to many factors. At this time Jackson was one of the best singers and dancers in the music industry. The budget for this music video was $500,000 and lasted 13 minutes 43 seconds. The synchronistic of all the dancing helps this video to be the best. When this video was released, people had to wait for the video to be aired on television making this an event.  

100 greatest music videos No.2

Number 2 on the 100 greatest music videos is Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel made in 1986.  This music video like A'ha Take me on, is iconic because of the well used technology. In Sledgehammer stop motion is used all the way through the video. This is a pretty basic method of animation however it is very hard to get it to a standard as good as this one as the main issues with this animation is continuity. If there is a problem with continuity the whole of the video may be ruined.

100 greatest music videos

3rd in the 100 greatest music videos is Take on me by A'ha made in 1985. This is a iconic video as it uses relatively new technology when this video was created. Rotoscoping is a large part of this film and is where a film is overlapped with drawings.

Animatic

After a change of thought in what we are doing we have changed the animatic. This is the new one.

Test music video

We help us come up with ideas for our music video we filmed this test to see what was and wasn't possible. Originally I would say that this was not a ideal way of filming as it is very unstable however after we filmed we was told about the monopod which could help us stabilise the camera when filming.  If we was to do something like this again then we would have to use a monopod.  

100 greatest music videos

In at number 6 on the 100 greatest music videos is Robbie Williams with the song Rock DJ. In this video Robbie shows his arrogance at the height of his solo career with his dance and all the extras being women. In the video it shows women skating around him while he tares off his skin and and body parts  and throws them at the women until he is a skeleton. This video is disturbing in parts and in some ways quite random.

In at 4th in the 100 greatest videos is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen in 1975. This is an iconic video as it was the first modern music video to be made so that the band could appear on Top of the Pops without having to interrupt their tour. The video shows all four band members as if i was filmed through a prism.
