Main Task



For this project I have chosen to do a music video. I have chosen this as I will be able to use a range of shots and still be able to use a narrative, also I can combine it with my love for music.  This for me is the best choice as I can combine things like a narrative (like I could with a short film) and I can do the same as I would with a trailer but I can include music.

For my music video I want to break the general stereotypes of what you see in a music video, like dancing and singing. Instead I want to create a narrative to make the music video more meaningful and to break the normal conventions of a stereotypical music video.

Last year I really enjoyed creating a dark narrative and I would love to do the same again but twist it slightly. From last year I learnt that you need to be ahead of yourself and organised so that you can sort out your location in time and get all the shots you need. Furthermore, I learnt that its better to have less cast as its difficult to find people who will willingly act for you and who will turn up.

For my ancillary products I'm choosing a digipak for the albums release and a magazine advertisement. I have chosen these as I work a lot doing digital paintings and I work digitally creating these and work to my strengths.

Genre Specific Analysis: Gorillaz

In this, we see a dodgy city and then the camera moves over the clouds to reveal a buildi ng above the clouds called the feel good inc. This represents how in this building at the top you don't have to see the horror that is going down below the city its almost as if ignoring it makes it better/ ignorance is bliss. The light against the building represents hoe rising against everthing and the building almost makes it seem as if anything in this 'Feel Good Inc' tower is possible. Then in this shot, we get to see inside the building sh owing how dodgy it is in there too. This illustrates what y ou see on the outside (the sign that says feel good inc) is not exactly whats on the inside. The red background connotes danger and lust, linking to the sex drugs and rock and roll vibes going on inside the building. In contrast with the characters blue hair, it makes him stand out characterising and illustrating that he is the singer. Now we see more mov...

Extra final edits made to my digipak advertiment

Image
It was said that my digipak still looked quite busy and that there was too mush going on. There was too many different coloured text and font variations which made the advertisement look to cramped. So I changed all font that wasn't to do with the artist or the name of the album blue and changed it to the same font, Didcot. I then moved some of the album information above the name of the album name to make the text look less cramped between the hands. I then moved all the logos down to the bottom of the advertisement to make the advertisement look more professional. I also changed the colours by putting filters on the image so that the advertisement stood out more.

Rough cut

This is my first edit of my music video for the song 'Take me to church'. While doing this I have realised some issues with the video for instance I have used a lot of my footage in this first section and I think I need to go back and re-film at those locations. For this first section I want to focus on setting the scene (location) and implying that time has gone and that this terrible accident happen earlier on. Reflecting on this I have booked another Day I can film in the church to see if I can get any better shots. They have kindly accepted to allow me to film and I'm changing my camera in a hope that it will take better to the lighting in the church.
