<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the final cut of our music video, 'Battlefield' by Isabel Beau</span><br />

They both decided to change the theme of the video slightly by having it all in black and white as it looked better to fit with the emotional feel the video and to keep the focus on the performances. In addition at the very end of the video, a final ending was decided this is were there are combined clips of the ballet dancer(Grace) and Isabel Beau (Jess) to show that the young girl is Isabel Beau and she is reflecting back on her past through the song. The last image the viewer is left with is the ballet sitting down with only a spot light on her and her face black.</span>Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-80045836952576534872015-03-14T04:34:00.000-07:002015-03-20T04:35:10.219-07:00Shoot in Drama - New Artist<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We stayed behind after school for the final shoot</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with are brand new artist, Jess.The plan we had for the shoot was very clear and we all knew what we wanted the outcome to be so working as a team we was able to work efficiently and practically with the short time frame we had left. The location for the reshoot had not changed we still used the drama hall but a smaller one for this shoot but the black walls and lighting we still used. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time from the shoot we had various angles that we had set up to film her performance much more than previously and more costumes which matched the Pop genre conventions more.Jess was a great performer and took the role straight away which was a relief for us all, she was actually singing along to the song that was being played in the background so it looked already more realistic and I think boosted the performance because of the real emotion she was showing. Another prop we added in more this time was the use of the fan to create a more dramatic feel and to show her beauty. The footage we got for the start of the song was close ups and mid shots of her singing in a white dress, to connote vulnerability and purity. In the middle of the chrous of the song she wore a red dress, to connote love which relates to the song very much so.Where as towards the ended of the sing were the emotions and aggressive energy is in the song she wore a navy dress to show strength and dark emotions the artist is releasing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With all the footage we got at the last shoot I believe are music video will be the best it can be.</span>Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-9686454991485715472015-03-13T03:47:00.002-07:002015-03-16T06:01:47.129-07:00Feedback on Draft Music Video <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Wednesday's lesson we had a feedback session on the most recent draft of the music video. After we had played the music video to the class and both of our teachers they filled out feedback sheets on what they thought of our video. The verbal feedback we also received was critical but was constructive for us to make changes to the video before it was to late. From all of this we made another big decision which got the most negative feedback which was our artist's performance so yet again we decided to re cast are artist.</span><br />

We have now re cast jess and a drama and music student to be our new artist because we know she can perform and sing very well which will create more energy in her performance and the facial expressions we need. The shoot for Jess is tomorrow because of this short notice we are still going to use the drama hall as are setting for her performance. </span><br />

Meanwhile me and Aaron stayed behind in the Mac Room and did some editing of the dance footage we have previously shot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The equipment they took with them to shoot was: a camera and the crane. Laxmi and Hayley used the crane to get more high angle shots of her performance to show her freedom she has and passion, in contrast some low angle shots were taken with the camera to show her power and confidence. The majority of the performance was field in the park with the trees walking down a muddy track, this was to represent of form or a battlefield relating to the lyrics. </span><br />

Previously in the week we had booked out the drama studio that we required, so we could get the best footage. Aaron filmed some of the footage in a circular motion with Grace dancing around him in a circle and him following her with the camera on a steadicam. By doing this it would give us a more clear movement of Grace's whole body when she was dancing than just certain parts of her, however we also did on getting some head shots of her when she was dancing because we lacked of these when editing for m the first shoot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In addition we need to get the opening footage for the music video, which had already planned would be grace dancing, however we was not sure what it would specifically be. We all decided on her doing specific ballet moves to the beat of the instrumental before the singing begun, so that when the song began it would a wide shot of her in her ballet outfit.</span>Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-17560962012197016142015-03-05T02:42:00.000-08:002015-03-16T05:06:18.334-07:00Next Shoot Plan <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After discussions within the group of what are music video needs, we have planned to shoot again with Grace of the ballet dancing. This is due to some of the original ballet footage being out of focus and not having her all in the frame. We plan to re shoot this ballet dancing in the second biggest drama studio with lights set up, also there will be more than camera and we plan to use the steadicam. Another point made clear to us was at the ending of the video, to try and make a more significant ending connecting the narrative and the artist together.</span>Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-48731052146369617512015-03-03T02:42:00.000-08:002015-03-13T03:45:59.501-07:00Narrative Reshoot <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After school me and Aaron went to my house again and re shot the some parts of the narrative of my sister playing the young Isabel Beau of her outside waiting for her parents and the reaction of her parents arguing in her room. The shots we got worked well for what we wanted of the many angles we got for her to be cut into the music video and her reaction was more emotional and sad. One of the highlights of her performance was of her crying ifront of us to be able to get this shot for her reaction to all the arguing.</span><br />

Firstly we began by choosing our favourite clips and deleting the ones that did not work, we kept the majority of the clips because overall they worked well and her performance was believable. After this we then began to upload the clips we choosen into FinalCut Pro and started cutting them and putting them in place within the music video so far. With all the new footage we have got the video is coming to together with the artist performance and the narrative.</span> <br />

After the test shot and watching the footage back, she had good natural facial expressions and movement along to the song, also a bonus was that she knew the song before hand. We did one whole take with no pauses of her singing the song all the way through and we felt that, Alex was the right new artist. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugfx3tY4xoUWZJyR_6ovCtumpAGOgSlwXBmBzYbfh6C5Za8Td5vPnoooXfqJp2ds0RbR4B7MHErNU2ruuQnG7HUmpILiMZZeSnLOJh8oxavvu7grtOk1TD1WfpUgyUcfbrt3gVwg6HQs/s1600/IMG_9033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugfx3tY4xoUWZJyR_6ovCtumpAGOgSlwXBmBzYbfh6C5Za8Td5vPnoooXfqJp2ds0RbR4B7MHErNU2ruuQnG7HUmpILiMZZeSnLOJh8oxavvu7grtOk1TD1WfpUgyUcfbrt3gVwg6HQs/s1600/IMG_9033.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After this test shoot the day after we did our first shoot with her in the gallery with her, we set up 2 cameras, 2 tripods and 2 studio lamps for the shoot. Also developing the mise en scene for the artist we changed her costume to having one black but including jewellery and another with a blue top and a necklace. The 2 different cameras gave us different angles from the same take giving us more to work with when editing and matching a real music video. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, after we watched the footage back after the shoot that went very well, her performance was believable and she looked the part. The biggest benefit with Alex being our new artist, is that we could play the whole song and she would be able to mime and act through out in one take without us having to keep stopping. This also saved time with us having to play back the song etc.</span></div>

After searching for a while we found Alex a girl in year 12 who we mutually knew and we asked her to give us a quick performance of the song and she agreed. We set up a small shoot in the media office just to get a feel of her performance and how she got on with the song. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is the test shoot:</span><br />

Due to the camera memory card running out of space at the end of the shot before we got the inside car shots we used my IPhone 5 to film one scene inside the car to experiment and see if it would work or not. We went through all the indoor arguing shots and refined them down to our favourites and began to cut them into the video. Overall I believe our music video is coming along well with he constant reshoots we are doing and is giving the group a more positive vibe to work with.Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-32613101582111022592015-02-11T06:34:00.000-08:002015-02-13T04:13:09.454-08:00Poppy's/Artist Reshoot<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today after school Aaron and Laxmi did a reshoot with Poppy for the artist, as the previous shoot did not go as well as expected and had a yellow filter over the footage. Before the shot began Laxmi was styling Poppy the she wanted her to look and portray and highlight she is a Pop artist. This was done through the use of make up and accessories, this can be seen in the footage as being effective to what we wanted her to look like, however this was probably the best outcome. When shooting instead of using one camera that we have previously done, before the shoot we discussed using three camera so we could get different angles but all from the same shot. However they only had accessibility to two cameras for when we needed to shoot so they overcame this and still had a half decent shoot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Laxmi and Aaron feedback back to us in Wednesday's lesson the night after the shoot, they told me and Hayley that although the shoot went well for what it was worth that Poppy still was not a believable artist/performer and her acting/miming still looked faked and put on. We believe this is mainly down to her still not being able to learn the whole song so we cant do one take for the whole song making it easier to get in character. The song, 'Battlefield' is an emotional and passionate song about love and the pain and war it brings, and the performance when we went watched it back did not convince us of these feelings. The option we have considered is recasting for the artist, even though this is a situation we all feel uncomfortable to do but is seriously needed to meet deadlines and make this music video the best it can be.</span>Megan Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17664735339911617805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238008400814227595.post-58928366392690084232015-02-03T02:29:00.002-08:002015-02-12T06:33:35.090-08:00New Shoot - Family Car Scene/ Narrative <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After school today we are going to shoot more of the narrative scenes for the music video, also we are going to re-shoot the young girl scenes outside as well. We struggled finding a mum and dad for the roles of the child's parents but we asked my mum and dad to be in the video and play this role. This will work better for us as Grace we will feel more comfortable acting and being involved in an argument between her own parents. It also makes the narrative more believable because of how old they are as well.</span><br />

After looking at our ballet dance scene footage we got, as a group we looked in to other recent music videos that our mainly based around dance. We found two music videos from the same artist, 'Sia' the cinematography and more specifically the way the camera follows them dancing, the dance scenes with the music video work so well with creating emotions and an atmosphere relating to the song. Ideas have been created from looking at these two music videos, a few of these are:</div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">follow the young girl when she is dancing in a circular motion</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">wide shots of her dancing</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">when editing make it more fast pace </span></li>
</ul>

Me and Hayley uploaded the footage into FinalCut Pro of the dancing and cut certain sections that worked the best and were in focus. We began to look at what parts of the dancing would work best in the song, we agreed that the faster movements and stronger moves would work best for the chorus to show her aggressive emotions and expressing them through her ballet dancing. This really gave us a good head start to editing the footage some more. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
After this me and Aaron stayed behind in lunch and after school to the edit the footage some more for the first chorus of the song. We used the feet and mid shots cutting between them to create it, the footage we used was filmed by Aaron on a hand-held camera. Going over the footage again together, we both discussed what footage to use and when it should cut, and what would work the best visually. Time was spent on making these decisions between the both of us and we had created a 14 second dance piece for part of the first chorus of the song. Also the pace of the cut and her dancing worked well with the beat/pace of the song as well, it really works well. This is only a very small piece of footage within in the whole of the music video but I think now we have set ourselves a standard and quality of filming and editing that we should be producing through the project. In addition our original idea to have the young girls scenes all in black and white, by changing it to desaturated, it really work well for the ballet dancing.</div>
