Rough Cut for Our Music Video

These are all the shots we have so far, some of which are not in the correct place yet.

Intro for the Music Video

In our music video, we want a clock to tick from 2:55 until it gets to 3 o'clock. However, we wanted to speed it up so we used the fast forward tool in iMovie. We placed a big clock on a green screen on a table and set up the camera to record.

After we filmed this we added a YouTube sound clip in iMovie of a clock ticking and an alarm bell for when the clock got to 3 o'clock.

Below is our filming set up:

This turned out well and we gave the clock a girly pink background. 

Once the clock got to 3 o'clock, we added a close up shot of our performer suddenly opening her eyes as if she has just woken up. 

Random Shots!

After watching the footage we recorded, we realised that when we left the camera rolling between takes it resulted in some natural close up shots which we liked and wanted to use in our music video. We edited the close up shot of her eyes into the mirror effect.

In this shot Imogen looks up towards the camera so we edited this so it is in slow motion, yet in sync with one another.

Editing Experiment - Mirror

To add variation to our editing techniques we wanted to create a mirrored effect on iMovie. However, neither my co-director and I had done this before so we watched a video on YouTube on how to do this.



After watching the tutorial we attempted our own version and this was our outcome:

This shot is for the chorus so we had to sync up the two shots so they were in time with one another and also, in time with the music.

Starting Ancillary Task 1 - Artist's Website

My co-director and I decided to create two separate websites for our artist so we could design it how we wish. However we both brainstormed together to come up with a name for the artist and the album name. We decided to use our performer's first name 'Imogen' for the name of our artist as it is short and easy to remember. We got our inspiration for the name from artist's like Adele and Beyonce. We also decided to call the album 'Moving On'.

Here is what the website looks like so far:

These are the text settings. I need to make note of these to enforce synergy when creating my magazine advert.

I feel like the black and white filter on the picture and simplistic white text makes the website look sleek and professional. 

Photoshoot 3/03/2016

Yesterday we did a photoshoot of our performer to enable us to start our ancillary tasks (website and magazine advert). We used a Canon camera so the pictures would be high quality and my co-director and I took it in turns to take the pictures. We used the green screen and the studio lights to enhance the quality.

Here was our set up:

The shoot was a major success and we took some great photos that would be perfect for our tasks! We felt the black and white filter made the pictures seem more professional. Below are our favourite:
