Pink- Blow me One last kiss

This is Pink's 'Lyric Video' to Blow me one last kiss.I really like the cutting from photo to photo to make it look like a jumpy video. This effect is something i would love to use in my music video. The video is quite similar all the way through which i think looks good, however the distance of shot changes quite regularly.I think that our video would benifit from an added technique to make it different and interesting, and i think that jump cuts with video would look good.

Music Video Research- Colours by GroupLove

Now we have decided that we are going to make a music video, we have started researching for this. The genre we are looking at is abstract, interesting with a story told through it.We want to create an abstract style video with a deeper meaning underlying which will capture the audience.



We found this interesting video (Colours-GroupLove) and love the tribe theme and the story that is told throughout. We really like this video because it has a strong story line about the man being hung and the tribe together. "Its the colours you have, no need to be sad, it really aint that bad"- the song is saying that life isnt that bad and you are still you. This is a deep and meaningful song with a video that captures the feeling. Watching this video has helped me decide that i wan to create a meaningful video.

Music Video Research

We have decided on Brief 1 for our main coursework which is to create a music video. I have been researching music video's and have found loads of interesting ones. The reason why i have been looking at music video's is because i feel that this will help us when creating our own because we can see what looks good and what does not before we make it. This will help us make our music video better. When we decide on a music video idea we will have to think about the genre, audience and purpose for the music video.

Preliminary Task Evaluation

We have now finished the preliminary task. I personally feel that it went really well, especially for a first attempt at putting together a script, storyboard, and then filming and editing. I like how to the story flows well and the script writing helped this. If i was to remake or improve this footage i would make the pauses between cuts go, and maybe improve the titles and credits to make the whole thing more interesting. Once i am more efficient at using premier pro, i will learn how to colour correct etc to make future films look more proffesional and interesting.

Different Shots

Before we created our preliminary task, we wanted to look at the different camers shots and angles. This helped me to understand what effect they have and we were able to practice these angles/shots so we can film our preliminary task in a more proffesional and confident way. Overall i think that this went well, and i now have a fuller understanding of how the different camera angles work. We were also able to try out the editing program- Adobe Premiere.I found the editing very fun, but that it is also quite hard to get a smooth, professional look, however, now i understand Adobe Premiere more, i feel that it will come across in the next tasks i have. Here is the video:

The Talk- Finished Preliminary Task

Here is our finished preliminary task. I am really pleased with the result.

BRIEF 1

We have decided on Brief 1:

We have decided this because we really like the idea of making a music video, and because it is the brief that we think we could get the most out of. We have come up with several ideas, but at the moment we like the idea of a abstract/surreal type music video that shows a journey of some description.
