My Video Evaluation

For my Evaluation I decided to create a video where I filmed myself talking about my music video. I then created a website  to post my evaluation videos on. Sadly the main Mac in the media suit is broken which had resulted in my second half of my evaluation not being able to upload on Youtube as a result below is the link to the first half of my evaluation but my second half of my evaluation had to BE SAVED ON THE MEDA OFFICE MAC. IF MARKING PLEASE LOOK AT THE DESKTOP THE SECOND HALF IS MARKED AS 'claire dv' Thanks =] This meant that I have decided not to use the  evaluation website but instead post one half of my evaluation on Youtube and the other half on the  desktop of the media office Mac computer. Click below to see the first half of my evaluation.

Two music videos which inspired me =]

The top music video, 'Love story' by Taylor Swift is the music video which I have mentioned earlier in my research and analysis of a music video. I have decided to blog it and the other music video 'Slow' by Rumer to show the generic conventions which I tried to mirror in my music video. The use of 'golden time', the natural beauty of the artist, natures beauty, the innocent image the artist is portraying, the exaggerated fact that the music videos focus on the artists musical talent and the lack of voyeurism in these two music videos. These two videos greatly inspired me during the story-boarding planning, filming and the post production side of my music video.

Story Board and Annimatic with sound.

Above is my storyboard. ( As you can see I am terrible at art ) I shaded in the frames in brown and orange because these are the frames/clips which I would apply a sepia effect to. I created my annimatic with sound before I filmed my music video in order to visually predict what shots would work. It enabled me to see what angles I should take  whilst filming, it enabled me to play around with the order of the narrative and how I would edit and set out my music video. and it gave me an opportunity to experiment with the pace of  the different clips in regards to the music. Lastly by creating the simple annimatic with sound it motivated me and inspired me to film my music video.

Looking back at the annimatic after I had finished my music video i discovered that it was a brilliant starting point to base my ideas on. I changed the order of the clips from the 'past', 'present', and 'future', i also added a larger variety of angles to add interest and i also added more videoFX in the editing suit to differaniate the different time zones.


This is my Annimatic with sound below:

Brainstorm of Names for Artist =] and Equipment list

Original Mood Board

This is my mood board, it has many natural elements such as beach scenes, the sun, trees, heather and water which are things which inspired me to create my country/folk music video. It helped me to think of locations such as the beach and forest scenes. It had a positive influence on my artist in my music video because it inspired me to create a natural image for my young singer.

Time schedule of filming taken out my media film :)

By using these time schedules to stick to throughout my day it helped me to stay or track and stayed focused because i had certain deadlines to reach.

Even more Development of my Digipack AND Postersssss!!

On the weekend I arranged a photo shoot with my artist in order to take photos for advertising her next live performance. After the photo shoot I discovered that some of the photos looked fantastic once they had been edited. And After looking at my Digipack I decided that the some of the new photos would look better in the Digipack rather than the ones i have already edited and chosen.

Here are two of the Posters I Have designed for my artist. I decided to have a natural location ( Richmond Park). I  then  wanted to distort the image by making the background Black and White and keeping the artist in colour which therefore exaggerated her importance and made her stand out to the viewers eye.

I also took some more serious indoors photographs of my artist and I decided this would also be an ideal poster because its very simple, this simplistic photo complements my artist image and reputation of being just about the music and not objectify herself in order to sell her music, she replies on her natural talent.

Below is my developed and final Digipack =] 

These new Photos and the new order which i have placed each Digipack side in is much better. The Edits on the photos are good and I think all the sides complement and link/tie in with each other because they all include either a photograph or an aspect of the artists personality and life in. 

FINISHED EDITING =] =] =] =] =]=]

Today I finished editing my video after weeks of working my socks off i have done it :)
After cross dissolves, wash outs, over laps , video FX , cutting clips, pasting clips, changing the speed of the clips, the colours, tones, syncing the lyrics with the artist, and changing the volume levels plus lots more its finished. Will be uploaded soon!!!!

Might add a short and snappy title and the name of my artist for the beginning of my video. I think i will experiment to see if it ties in with the rest of the video. :)

I hope to Play the video next lesson to my media class to get their views and opinions on my music video.

Still editing!! :)

Still editing today, I have decided to change the shots with the artist with the black and white effect into full heightened colour in the future/ present section of the music video to make a clear difference between the beach section and the 'at home' section.

I think this has worked effectivly so far because it grabs the viewers attension becuase of the sudden change. I have also added white wash outs in between the 'at home' shots to fasten the pace of the video to match the sudden quicken in pace of the music.

Only the last verse to edit now! ! :)
