Idea change update

After we decided to change our music video from 50% forest scenes and 50% indoor scenes to 99% indoor scenes (only a few short outdoor shots) we have needed to film some more indoor shots so we have enough to cover the whole of the music video. We filmed on Wednesday and we are hopefully planning to film again in the next few days to get the opening shot. Below is a vlog of the changes we have made and why we decided to make them.

Media filming

Today we finished filming in one of our locations. We decided to film using another mirror to highlight the protagonists insecurities and continue the theme of mirrors that appear throughout our music video. After scrapping the forest scenes my group and I realised that we didn't have many lip singing shots left so we therefore decided for Tayla to lip sing the whole song in different places so we have a variety of shots to use for our music video.
Below are a few pictures from today's filming...

Circle editing

During Fridays lesson my group and I faced the difficult task of editing the footage so we had Tayla in a circle. This is because iMovie would only allow us to put Tayla into a rectangle. This meant that we had to use Adobe Premiere to achieve the effect we wanted. However when we tried to create the Circle on Adobe Premiere the circle was too small and had a flat edge on the bottom. Thanks to a youtube tutorial, however, we have been able to fix this problem and now hopefully have the effect that we want.
Below is the tutorial video...

Album covers

Below are the images of Four Indie magazine for music albums. In each of them the name of the artist is enlarged and at the top of the magazine whereas the name the album is written in smaller letters at the bottom of the magazine. This could be because the artists name straight away tells the consumers who the album is by whereas the name the album doesn't give as much information away. This means that the product will sell faster as people will clearly be able to see who is the album is by when they look at the magazine.

 

Inspirational Music videos

Two music videos that I have found inspiring for my groups music video are Taylor Swifts 'Safe and Sound' and 'Out of the Woods' music videos. Both music videos are set in the woods which is similar to our music video as many shots are in the forest. Both of Taylor Swifts videos also have a dull colour palette which is what my group and I are using for our music video.


In this music video 'Safe and Sound' the protagonist is trying to find herself which is similar to our music as the protagonist is trying to find out how she moves on from her past. The protagonist also looks lost and confused in the music video which we hope is how our protagonist will appear.

In the 'Out of the Woods' music video the protagonist, Taylor, is leaving a boy. This storyline is similar to our storyline as in both music videos the protagonist is moving on. Both our music video and 'Out of the Woods' also feature water which is a common trait in Indie music videos.
