Post 10: What's in the News?

WHAT'S IN THE NEWS?

To practice and get in the swing of creating storyboards with new ideas about music videos, or short films, I decided to pick a random news story from this week and from that, pull together a music video or short film that is inspired by the news story. As we are thinking about creating music videos for our coursework, I hoped to storyboard a music video to practice how the video is put together with the music chosen. 

Our chosen News Story:

This news story is about an orchestra conducted by Darth Vader. Initially, Vader seemed content listening to the classic compostiton. However, several bars into the piece, he removed the conductor and took charge of the orchestra. Lord Vader went on to lead the orchestra through the entire piece with his lightsaber.

Our Music Video Storyboard:

Our Music video revolves around Darth Vader getting ready, performing (where the music will be played) and then leaving the building. I decided that it would be great bringing a sense or normality to the character, like checking his phone or revealing his name is actually Alan at the end. The music in the music video is the famous piece at the start of every Star Wars film, John William's Imperial March. I thought it would be fitting for the charcter and the video to have this as the music in which I would make a music video for.

1. Darth Vader in the dressing room, looking in the mirror, possibly texting or going through twitter on his phone. 

2. Walking out behind the stage, winding down the corridors maybe stretching his arms and whistling.

 3. Walking out onto the stage, with complete silence into the room, and the audience looking a little confused.

 4. Music begins, and Darth Vader starts conducting the orchestra.

 5. The song ends and the audience stands up cheering and clapping whilst Darth Vader takes a bow and gestures towards the orchestra, clapping towards them.

 6. The sound of the audience fades away as Vader goes off stage and into the corridors behind the stage where it's silent, except for a few people (the organisers) running around, paying no attention to him. 

 7. Darth Vader walks into his dressing room, check his phone and puts his things into his backpack and when finished gets up and leaves the room.

 8. Someone, (an assisstant?) walks by and says "See you Tomorrow, Alan"

9. He walks out the back door into a car park and the door shuts on the camera. 

 10. The End.

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

Image
EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next withou...

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Image
Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or intervie...

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
