Post 49: Rough Cut

ROUGH CUT 

HERE IS OUR MUSIC VIDEO ROUGH CUT FOR THE STROKES - 'I'LL TRY ANYTHING ONCE': HERE.


For our first attempt at shooting a rough cut of a music video, we’re are all very proud of it. We were excited to see how it would turn out, especially when it came to editing and the exact order of the scenes that we had filmed. Looking back at our storyboards we are also thrilled that we have set out to complete our idea, and we have, to a certain extent, done that.

 We are currently looking and researching into the importance of the titles, particularly in relevance to our ancillary tasks to add to make our final cut. We are going through the vast amount of titles adobe offer to see what kind of style we want and what best represents our idea. 

 Three loose current ideas:
a contemporary title used in a music video we admire 
The original title used for our song: 'I'll try anything once'.
Furthermore, we want to experiment a little with the framing of the video to see what fits best as at the moment it fills the screen in our rough cut, but looking at some contemporary official music videos being released recently, the size of the film has varied and often in either a square format so only the centre of the film is shown, or with black bands across the top and bottom, like films do it.
We have tried a few colour corrections and filters in premiere pro in a attempt to render and change the tints in the film. We are yet to decide whether we want them for our final cut or if we think it looks more natural and raw without it. 
When watching our rough cut, however, we don't want to change too much, (besides the framing and titles), because we like it how it is and any changes, we think, wouldn't work as well. We have also tried and started our editing process a few times, changing the order or adding variants of the storyline in but after much deliberation, we have landed on the storyline we want.

Post 7: Lip-Sync

POST 7: LIP-SYNC PRELIMINARY PRACTICE   Lip-syncing  move the lips silently in synchronisation with a pre-recorded soundtrack. It is used i n the music industry when lip-synching is used by singers for music videos , television and film appearances and some types of live performances. Also, Lip-syncing by singers can even be controversial to fans attending concert performances who expect to view a live performance, but singers choose to lip-sync.  Because the film track and music tracks are recorded separately during the creation of a music video , artists usually lip-sync their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments  as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at a faster speed than the recorded track, to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve. Similarly, some artists have been known to lip-sync backwards for music videos such that, when reversed, the singer is seen to sin...

Post 8: Research - A Book

POST 8: I'VE READ A BOOK To further our research, we were given a task to each read a couple of chapters (or the whole thing, if we want) of a book that was given to us by our teacher. I chose a book called Teen Film: A Critical Introduction which is a book written by Catherine Driscoll discussing everything about Teen Film.   Teen Film: A Critical Introduction - By Catherine Driscoll The Blurb What makes a film a teen film? And why, when it represents such powerful and enduring ideas about youth and adolescence, is teen film usually viewed as culturally insignificant? Teen film is usually as a representation of the changing American teenager, highlighting the institutions of high school and the nuclear family, and experiments in sexual development and identity formation. But not every film featuring these components is a teen film and not every teen film is American. Arguing that teen film is always a story about becoming a citizen and a subject, Teen Film presents a...

Post 41: FINAL: Script/ Stage Directions/ Plot Outlines

Image
No changes have been made to the s cript/ stage directions/ plot outlines since the planning stage so we are working from those s cript/ stage directions/ plot outlines . You can see those below: SCRIPT/ STAGE DIRECTIONS/PLOT OUTLINES Script To plan our script for our music video, we firstly had to, decide whether we want any dialogue, or narration before we decide on a script decisions. We think, having looked at and observed lots of music videos, those with a story have a couple of lines of dialogue before and after the actual music. We considered using this technique to add to the storyboard but think as our plan is to montage a sister road trip displaying their love for each other, it would be hard to add in dialogue that suits our plot, because it changes a lot from scene to scene. Therefore, unless we come up with some suitable dialogue on the day, or one of the shots contains some talking, then we don't plan on using any dialogue, and as a consequence, a script. Sta...
