Paper Edit

This is the paper edit. This shows our editing software on paper and portrays all of the different tracks and what time they appear within the video based upon our editing.

Effects and Final Edit

Whilst creating the final edit of the music video, we needed to add effects to create the look which we wanted. To do this we used the green screen whilst filming. We used the green screen so that we could use keying to remove the green, so that it was possible for us to create a dynamic background and give it a professional and effective look. This meant we would need to add an ultra key effect to first of all remove the green. We then added a colour matte so that we would have the background colour we needed. In addition to this we wanted to create a lively colourful background. We added a effect called lens flare which is a moving flare across the background. This gave it the dynamic look however it was not very bright. To make it vibrant we added a 4 colour gradient to the lens flare. This gave it colour and made it look very striking. Another way in which we used the 4 colour gradient was by adding it to a clip without the green screen this gave the whole scene a funky colour and created a better miss en scene.

We also found a video pack off of Youtube that had a license which said it was able for us to re-use it. The video consisted of a range of different backgrounds. We used this as their was only one way to create the look we wanted on adobe premier, and this was with the lens flare and colour gradient. This video gave us other alternatives of a energetic background. This enabled that we did not have a repetitive look to the video as this would of made it boring.

This is my logo that will feature within my advert. I created this logo on photoshop and this will be what the company will use to represent our campaign.

Music Video Documentary

This is my music video documentary. In this documentary I explore the conventions, styles and purposes of music video and explain why music videos contain these with examples from famous artists from across the globe.

How we used our planning documents.

Whilst we were filming we would reflect on our planning documents, we did this to remind ourselves of the original idea and try create the look that we wanted in the planning documents  in real life for the camera. It to allowed us to develop our ideas as we would look at the planning documents and realise we could make it look even better and develop it. Before we started shooting, we drew up all of the different shot types and ideas on a storyboard. When filming this storyboards was very useful as we would know what different shot types we needed such as a high angle, long shot or close up etc. 

The image above shows us in process of using our planning documents whilst editing our video in adobe premiere. The document we are looking at in this particular photograph is the rushes log is a table made up of information of the footage that we created. In this table there is the following information:

• Shot type
• Description of footage
• Duration of footage
• Evaluation of footage, whether it was good or poor pieces of footage.

This helped us to document all of our clips that we had filmed and keep a record of all of the clips. The log helped us to note the good clips and the bad clips and was useful as we then knew which shots needed reshooting. For example we had done a whole scene at a location and then we uploaded it, it was out of focus. The rushes log was the first place we went to and made a note of this problem and was then able to know the shots that were no good. 

GROUP CHANGE

During the process of creating the music video within unit 29 and unit , I had a group change due to an issue with my partner that I was working with, as he left the school mid way through the project. Due to this, I had to change groups. I joined Nathan West and Anthony Nazareth's group, to begin work on their project. This is the reason why my documents are a mix between me working on the music video called 'Big' and then I move and start to write up documents on the current project 'Touch'.
