Planning the video

Lip Syncing 2

This video includes a few different songs which were combined into one video, this allowed us to have more practice of lip syncing to get us more prepared for the final video.

Lip Syncing

This video shows kieran lip syncing part of the original song we are hoping to do by swedish house mafia. We thought this would be a good idea as it allowed Kieran do have a taster of what he is going to have to do for the final video. As Kieran is the only boy in our group we decided that he would be the best part for the main singer as its a male vocal. From looking at this short clip of lip syncing we have already realised we will need to do more practice and make sure that Kieran moves more along with the song and doesn't just stand still to make it more believable.

Influence 1

Asking permission from Univeral Music

Here is proof of us asking permission to use 'Save the World' by Swedish House Mafia as our chosen music video. We thought by emailing Univeral Music for their permission was a good idea because of the copy right issues we could face if we were to publish our changed video to an audience. As you can see in the email the only people who would be able to see our video would be the examiner, our class and our teacher so with or with not their constent we would still be able to use it but it would be a good idea to have permission in the first place.

Instagram

This shows the set up on the instagram page we have started, we will be uploading weekly pictures showing our planning, development and whatever is going on with the music video. By setting up an instagram account it allows the audience to feel important and know whats going on, Instragram is one of the most popular social networking sights with Billions of users by our account not being on private this means anyone all over the world can view our work and take an interest.

Evaluating the AS blog short video

This video shows kieran talking about our AS thriller blog, and some of the positives and negatives we felt came up throughout. Because this video wasn't particulary long we have produced some screen shots of the old blog also which we will evaluate in more detail.

 This is one of our posts on the blog which consisted of a detailed plan of when we was going to shoot certain parts of our thriller. It includes where, when, and what time we will be shooting. By sticking to this schedule it allowed us to keep organised with what we was doing and not waste time at locations. This was one of the positive posts we decided when looking through because it really helped us out when shooting and everyone in the group knew what was going on. We will be making another one of these this year for our music video.

On our blog we had quite a few videos; this included us in the group 'chatting' about planning, locations, music etc but we also filmed audience feedback from teachers and students. This was a quick and effective way to store the information at the time yet I feel now looking back and watching each video that we would definitely need to plan out what was going to be said before it was filmed to avoid fillers and awkwardness with not knowing what to say as this made the videos look unplanned and unprofessional. Using videos to keep information would still be a good idea for the blog this year on our music video as it is media rich and spontaneous speech however we will need to take the negatives we found from last year into consideration before doing this.

 

This shows a screen grab from the short trailer that was made for our opening to the thriller, we felt that this was one of our stronger posts on the blog as it really fitted in with the whole blog and acted as a 'teaser' to the official Thriller opening we was planning throughtout. This short trailer was made on an Ipad app called iMovie ans allowed us to use different effects, cut ins and words. We will probably be using this again this year in our prelim or if we again use a teaser of the real video.
