As a small task to get us used to the editing suit and creating a music video, we had to deconstruct and reconstruct 30 seconds of a music video. We created a diary to record what we did and when we did it.
Group...myself, Chelsie Reed, Rachel Milner & Amy Fenwick.
ORIGINAL VIDEO:
24.9.12 - In our groups we looked each each of our storyboards and decided which would be suitable to reconstruct. We based our decision on mise - en - scene, props, cast and the locations we could use, and focused on a music video that would encourage our editing skills. We decided on 'Rihanna - We Found Love'. We picked out 30 seconds in which we thought we would be able to reproduce at a high standard of work.
26.9.12 - Next we needed to watch the clip through and look at the mise en scene, location and cast of the video. We also looked on Youtube to find some clips of flowers growing, corn blowing and clouds moving. *I have shown these on this post - http://rubyrogersa2media.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/backdrops-for-we-found-love-music-video.html *
CAST- 1 male, 1 female, background actors.
MISE - EN - SCENE..
MALE- Grey hoodie, blue chino trousers, brown boots, light blue jeans, grey beanie hat, blue denim jacket, white t shirt.
FEMALE- Denimn jacket, earrings, blur shirt, black skirt, tights, dolly shoes, black leather jacket, bracelett, white top.
PROPS - Fairy lights, skateboard, fan, light, deodorant bottles, jackets, black background (shoebox), tic tacs, medicine bottle, backgrounds from Youtube to project onto the board.
27.9.12 - We chose our actors and next decided to decide on locations and times for when we was all available. We decided we would film the skateboarding and takeaway scene on Monday 1st October after college. We then decided in our free periods during that week we would meet up in Oak 33 to film the projector scenes.
28.8.12 - We booked a camera and tripod to make sure we would have everything ready for Monday!
1.10.12 - We traveled to Beverley to film the scenes which took around 2-3 hours altogether.
2.10.12 - We started filming the projector scenes for our video. This was much harder than we thought and needed to finish this off during the week. We had troubles with the lighting as when we turned the lights off, Chelsies face was too dark on the camera, and when we tried opening the blinds we found it was hard to see the image on the projector. However we tried different ways to get light and realised we could also edit the contrast and lighting on the editing suite so shot it lots of times and chose the best one. The camera angles was hard to get right as the board wasn't that big so we couldn't zoom out too much without getting the edges of the board in the shot which looked unrealistic. We was going to use the green room but we noticed that on the actual video, they use a projector as you see it showing over Rihanna.
3.10.12 - As we had the main part of our video filmed, we decided to start editing it straight away at lunch. Ray showed us how to use Adobe Premier and talked us through how to cut, crop, and render our video. We found it challenging to get the video and singing in sync however once we did so it was exciting to watch together and we also played the original video at the same time to see if they was in sync with each other.
4.10.12 - We filmed some more projector scenes and then stayed in to edit this over lunch. After editing our video together we needed to add a colour effect on the top as when we saw the original the camera has a greeny/blue tint to it. After doing so, we filmed the last few scenes which was the tablet scene, this was pretty quick to do, however we found it hard to get the tablets falling as accurate as the original video.
5.10.12 - We used more of our free periods and lunch to edit the rest of the video together. We imported a clip off YouTube of an eye dilating for our video.
