Shooting (Day 6)

Today shooting took place in the media lab of my school. I filmed the performance clips of Sheece. A green screen was set and illuminated using two YN300 LED flashlights mounted on tripods (that were set at 45 degrees from the center.) The distance of the tripods aways from the green screen was adjusted to remove shadows of Sheece on the green screen. Another flashlight (mounted on a camera) was shone on the actors to brighten them up in the shot. 

I borrowed a microphone, microphone stand, and an electric guitar from the music room. I directed Sheece to lip sing to the song that was played on the speakers. First I told him to perform on the song as it is. The second time I made him lip sing to the same song that I had slowed down to 50%. This would allow me to speed the clip to 200%, causing his movements to become fidgety and his lip movement to be in-sync with the lyrics of the song in its original pace. This technique is opposite to the one I carried out in my practice video. (https://youtu.be/gLMcL-O3KKc).

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Research on Genres

I want to create a music video following the comedy and romance genre. To create such a text, I looked into the romance and comedy genre conventions that I could follow. These are some of the important points I noted down.  ROMANCE: COMEDY: I came across a table that showed the types of comedy. To my surprise, visual comedy (through editing) was not included.

Planning My Music Promotional Video

Even though, I have a general idea of the storyline of my music video, thinking of specific situations I want to portray can be challenging. I don't want to base my music video on a single problem which will make it very boring, so I've decided to incorporate many different situations in the video in a jumbled order. I made rough sketches of the different shots I wanted to take and the effects of wanted to add.                      I want to take a long video clip in which the actor is in the middle of the road and cars are moving beside him. The clip will be sped up to create a timelapse with lines of light created by the lights of the car.
