Music Video Editing

Today in lesson we started to cut out the scenes for our narrative to go into so once we film we can edit them and stick them straight in the video which makes the process a whole lot easier. We also starting to figure out when we are going to film the narrative however we need to know when armani is free but she is not in lesson today so we will have to talk and have a meeting to discuss when and where we are filming.

Banner Design 9/12/11

in this photo above is my banner design. i think that the font goes really well with with our genre of dance and R and B as it looks like a sign that has been outside of a nightclub and looks quite appealing to the eye. I think that this looks more like an album cover with the photo and i don't really like it because it clashes. the picture and name don't look good together and when i get it so that the background is gone it ruins the picture therefore i am going to keep going through ideas and designing banners and logos.

Editing Footage - 7/12/11

Today in Media we started to upload our first part of footage which we filmed on the 30th in the studio which is our performance element that we are going to incorporate into our music video. We noticed today that in certain clips that there was a colour change and we were trying to figure out what effects can help us get the same colour. We tried using effects like colour balance, colour correction and HSV adjustment. however we have not figured out what effect is the best to get the colour the same. we also synced the clips together with the actual track.

the image above is the original scene and as you can see in the image on the left the image is darker which means that we have to change the effects in order to make sure that the clips are all the same colour and have the same effect.

In the image below there is the edited version as you can see the image on the left is much brighter and has more colour to it however they still arent the same colour so we still have to play around with more effects in order for us to get the right effect.

when uploading the footage we realised that some of the footage the singers faces were covered by the microphones which we do not want to use as we are not able to see the faces of our singers.

banner design - 25/11/11

Above is the screenshot of my banner design. i believe that this fits with the conventions of the pop and dance genre eith girlbands. the picture is not of our girlband but it gives an idea of what i want and when looking at the other bands site the main image is under the bands name and i beleive that this fits in well with the conventions. the picture that i am going to put in once we have a picture of the band is going to be less sexualised and more clothing.

Storyboarding

Lyric/scene planning

this video is a test run as we would like to use this affect in when creating our music video. this clip is the test run for the scene where the girl looks into the mirror and sees herself however she is looking completely different as in real life she is wearing makeup and in th mirror she will be dressed as a goth. we tested this clip first to see if it was possible to get the shot right and how to go about filming it. we first set up the tripod so that it will be in the same position throughout the scene. i then stood looking into the mirror and then armani also looked into the miror. we then imported the two clips in to the final cut and cropped the clips so that only half the image was being shown. therefore you can see that the person looking in the mirror is someone else which proves that this shot is possible and quite simple to edit.
