Task Six- Image Annotation

We have looked at many of the genre of videos that we intend on doing and have taken images from them to create a mood board to show you the idea of what we want the video to look like. We have also created a mood board on the type of costumes that we intend on the people in our video to wear. We have taken these images from shops such as NewLook and Abercrombie and Fitch as well as getting images of the bands images to help us mould the image of our band.

Above are annotations of the further above documents to give you an idea of what we were thinking.

Task Five - Song Lyrics

Task Four- Song Details

Song Name: Easy Tiger- Kids in Glass Houses

This song is alternative rock. It does have a music video, however the video came out after we had planned most of the video. You will see that our ideas for the our video is a lot different from the actual video that has been made.

Task Three-Technical Tutorials- Green Screen

In this lesson we learnt how to use the Green Screen, to do this myself, Charlotte and Wesley performed Justin Bieber - Baby.

We were filmed from two different angles and then we used Final Cut to edit the footage. I found this infuriating as it was difficult to get used to the new way of editing.

Band Images and Photos- PhotoShop

In todays triple lesson we looked at band images and photos taken from their albums or photos that promote them. We looked at bands such as Coldplay and The Script, we also looked at solo artists such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber , Eminem and Usher.

We analyzed the composition of the band and the lighting within the images. we also talked about the three different lights that are used when taking pictures. (Key lighting, fill lighting and back lighting).

After looking at the images and talking about them in class, we decided to take some of our own photos. We looked at reacting how other genres had taken the images and recreated the image on their own style.

Examples of the type of pictures that we took were, Girl Band, Mixed Girl and Boy Band, Solo Artists, Rock band, Duets and Divas.

After taking these images we then learnt about Photoshop an how we can edit images to fit our genre. We learnt how to upload the image, cut it out (using the selection tool or the magic wand). We also looked at editing the images by using filters.

Task Two - Roles

Name- Ryan
Role- Cameraman
Why- We decided that Ryan should do the filming of the video as he has a steady hand and has done more filming than we have.

Name- Shelby
Role - Planning
Why- This is because Shelby knows this song well and so she knows what will fit where. She wiil know what will make the video look authentic and what will make it look chessy.


Name- Lucy
Role- Producer
Why- I am the producer as I know many people who would be in the video and I will be able to create the right image for the band. This also involves me getting people in to do the make up and making sure that the costumes are right.

Task One- Initial Ideas

Thoughts within the Group:

We as a group looked at different genres that we could do a music video on, this meant that we had to look at the artists that we could use. When we came back together as a group we looked at the genres that we had chose and realised that not all of us liked the genres that we had choosen. We then named bands that we liked and realised that we all liked Alternatvie music.

Once we decided on the genre we started researching bands making sure that they were british and that the song choices that we made were songs that did not have a music video to it. We narrowed it down to three bands, You Me At Six (Playing the Blame Game) , You Me At Six (Contagious Chemistry), Kids in Glass Houses (Easy Tiger).

We then decided to go with Kids In Glass Houses Easy Tiger.

Locations:

Field, Garage, Bedroom.
