Oprah Winfrey- Collective identity

Talk Show host Oprah Winfrey's powerful acceptance speech at the 2018 Golden Globes Awards (when she won a Lifetime Achievement Award) further raised awareness of the representation of women in the film and media industry. In wake of a torrent of accusations of years of harrassment and abuse, from Harvey Weinstein (film producer and co-founder of Miramax films) to Kevin Spacey (who was subsequently dropped from the Netflix series House of Cards), women attending the awards wore black to symbolise solidarity. Winfrey said that "a new day is on the horizon" "when nobody has to say 'Me Too' again" (referring to the social media campaign against sexual harrassment of women).

Final Music Video

Below is my final music video:

First Filming session

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.
