Rough Cut 2 Music Video

Our first rough cut was just an assemble of most of the clips and we could finally see what clips we needed to work with and created our second rough cut. We then received further feedback to create our completed video.

Rough Cut 1 Music Video

Here shown was our first rough cut which had little variety of shots and with the feedback we recieved we developed upon this.

Questions

1. Holding a steady shot where appropriate.

We archived this very well because all of our shots were very steady because of the tri-pods we had. Also when we did have some movement in our shots, it was planed and it was a steady motion, not jerking about.

2. Framing a shot including and excluding elements as appropriate.
I think we done this well because because our main focus was on the lead singer Jake because in a band, the main person is the lead singer. We had different shots of Jake such as close ups and shots of him. We also had a lot of full band shots included.

3. Using a variety of shot to the task set.
In our animatic we had a lot of different shots that we wanted but, we couldn't do a lot of them such as the side shots of the band in the filming studio because of a space issue. But apart from this we managed to get a lot of different shots in such as close ups, pans, medium shots and much more.

4. Selecting mise en scene including colour, figure, lighting, objectives and settings.
Through out our media video we kept the same colour scheme and lighting. The band dressed up in black, or dark colours, and Jake wore a bright white t-shirt to stand out. This sticks to the emo genre we were looking at.

5. Editing so that the meaning is apparent to the viewer.


6. Using a variety of shots, transitions, captions and other effects selectively and appropriately.


7. Using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task.
Through-out the full video we had our song in the background and we tried to match the images with the song. Such as the smoking scene.

Pre lim Task

Here shown is some screen-grabs from our pre-lim task on lip syncing to the Blur song "Song 2"
Here shown is us adding markers to certain clips and comparing it the music track so that we can sync the video and the lips together. We didn't use any effects onto this video as of not being very familiar with the software but we have now learned how to do this.

Survey Of Expectations

Here we have conducted a survey and asked people of what they would expect in a music video in the similar genre and way of fall out boy, we had several similar responces of skinny jeans, dark colours and a mix of performance and narrative.

1) What clothes would you expect to see in a music video of a band similar
to the genre of fall out boy?
2) What type of lighting and colours would you expect to see in a music
video of a band similar to the genre of fall out boy?
