Music video research

We began looking at student videos, to get ideas on opening shots for our music video. We found this student video on 'Blow your mind' and really like a lot of aspects of it.

We really like the opening shot in this video, as it established the setting and location of the video.
Another aspect we particularly liked was the idea of using paint. She used a different coloured paint according to the changing colour on the green screen, which we found very effective and would therefore like to do something similar.
Grace and I also really liked the idea of using stop motion to create images going round the performers body or in the background.

Today, Lauren and I had our first filming day. We had planned to film all our shots, which were in front of the green screen. Initially we found it difficult to fit the whole of our actor in the frame of the camera as not only was she was moving horizontally across the green screen but she had her hands vertically above her head, making it difficult to fit the whole move in the shot. However we were able to easily and effectively solve this problem by moving the camera back during the filming and then cropping the screen during the editing process. When filming we made sure we used our storyboard so we knew exactly what we were creating, however we also filmed extra shots incase they were needed in the editing stages. These are some photos of Lauren and I whilst filming our first shots.

Lip syncing practice

Before we did both our preliminary task and real thing, we decided to practice our lip syncing on final cut, so we had experience using it when it comes to creating our real music video. We used the song 'Love story', by Taylor swift as we thought it was quite a popular song and also easy to learn.
