Account of editing phase and post-production

After shooting our video, it was time for the rough cut and then the final edit. We used Final Cut Pro to cut and edit our music video.  We started with a rough cut to put all of our clips roughly where we wanted them to get a vague idea of how it was going to look.

The first thing that was essential was linking up the music track to our lip sync and performance element. It didn't really account for the rest of our shots as it was mainly a narraive element that we had to place in ourselves. We found this a bit difficult at times because it kept slipping out of place, but we managed to get to grips with it after practise.

We started by cutting the pre-roll together which needed a lot of work because of the diegetic sound as it was speaking. We later edited this in soundtrack by putting in sounds of birds and footsteps to make it more realistic. This was relitively easy as it was similar to the thriller work from last year.

We used short cuts in sections of our video to the beat of the music to add the mystery and suspence, linking back to sections of the performance element. We realised that we never got round to shooting the band part and we were worried about how this would look. After our rough cut, we realised that it actually worked very nicely just having the lead singer lip sync throughout.
I found that my skills with Final Cut have developed a lot since using it in the past and I was a lot more confident with the tools. Once we started and got into the post-production, it became very easy and flowed well. We were finished in good time which allowed us to do some final retouches.
We used after effects to boost up the saturation to make the colours stand out.
Overall I am really happy with how the post-production went and I  feel we worked really well together as a group. I look forward to seeing the how the final product turns out with the digipak and poster alongside it.

Drafts of digipak and poster designs (and feedback)

I have been working on the digipak over the course and alongisde the music video. I wanted it to be very simple on the front and back, and when it is opened be big bright and colourful to create a sense of magic.

These are some of the sketches I have done and scanned in to Photoshop.

I used characters and themes from fairytales and I am going to edit this into being bright colours and quite psychadellic. This is because I wanted the inside of the digipak to be very distinctive and relate back to our music video when entering the house.

In terms of the poster, I think this will be mainly photography, I have pictures which I shot on the day which I want to edit into a more atmospheric poster plan. I think it would be good to have tour dates and a link to the digipak to keep the target audience involved at all times.

These themes and visuals which are seen throughout the digipak can be linked directly back to the music video as well.

When it comes to feedback, the rest of the group agree with the ideas I have for the digipak and poster. Other people I have mentioned it to find it a great idea but it is also hard to visualise until the music video is complete as some of these themes and visuals are hard to comprehend.

Account of Shoot Day

Our shoot day was a very long day which ended being extremely successful and great fun. We started the day straight away at 9am and got our actors to have their hair and makeup done by kika. Our character the Mad Hatter played by Jamie was inspired by the Tim Burton character from Alice in Wonderland. The make up took a lot longer than expected but this gave us enough time to finish setting up our shoot with things that we didn’t get to finish the night before. The first set was the tea party scene which looked great as we had loads of props.

This scene took a while to film as we had to do a lot of takes using different camera angles and close ups on all of the characters. All of the actors did a great job and Rose and Oscar were very patient as there was a lot of the same shot done. As we had a lot of sweets and cakes as props on the table, we thought it would be a great idea to take advantage of this and made sure we got some close up panning shots down the table. The lens that we used during this showed a higher level of detail in our video.

During this scene we did encounter a few obstacles along the way. One of these included the shot of Sabrina falling into the cake. Luckily this didn’t turn into a problem as it all went to plan, but we only had one cake and had already used our prop cake so if it didn’t work then we would have been in trouble.

The other hurdle that we came across was when we had to throw balloons in to the background. At times it was difficult to see when I was in shot as I was covered by a huge cloud of smoke. 

I think the main problem we had that day was that 3 out of the 4 members in that scene had to leave due to other commitments so we were unfortunately unable to get our perfomance element shot and decided we should just cut it.

 After a quick lunch break we were able to grab out singer Jamie to do a few lip syncs of the song. This was great fun to film as he fitted the role perfectly. We also changed the setting around to give it a different atmosphere. Here we made it smokey with tall white blocks with sweets on top. Again we threw balloons into the scene to give it a quirky effect.

When we were shooting in the studio, we all revolved around the equipment and took turns on the camera and on set. I mainly enjoyed getting hands on with the set as it was fun but I made sure I was behind the camera some of the time.

After we were finished in the studio we made our way to Courtney’s house to finish filming. All of our characters (Cinderella, Belle, Prince Charming, Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty) already had their hair and make-up done before hand so that all that was needed was to get into costume and set up the camera and lights. It was then just Courtney and I that had to get our hair and make up done and into our costumes.

The setting and the stairs was already decorated perfectly the previous night which was lucky as by this point we were already strapped for time. This was one of my favourite shots as we did a tracking shot of all of the characters on the stairs. This included all of our cast members including me who was nowdressed as Snow White! In terms of the lighting in this scene, we gave it a red tint to create a sense of atmosphere and create a dramatic effect. This worked really well for us as it made it all look quite dreamy which was what we had in mind.

 Once the staircase scene was finished, we then moved on to our upstairs scenes which included a hallway scene, a bedroom and a bathroom scene. By this point I was very tired as it was nearing 5pm and the day had been pretty full on.

For the bedroom scene we used low lighting with candles to give it an authentic feel. We also used candles and red lighting in the bedroom scene with Courney and Max in bed, and used a flicker effect over the lights to make it look romantic. This scene took a good few takes as it was hard for our actors to get the hold of it but we got there in the end!

Overall it was a very succesful day, however there are still the begining and end scenes which need to be filmed as well as the pre-roll.

Our Animatic and feedback

Once we had completed our storyboard, we filmed each individual picture up against the wall so that when it came to editing, we could put them all together and create our animatic.
The whole editing process was quite quick considering there were a lot of individual drawings from our storyboard. We did however encounter a few problems with Final Cut and found that it crashed a few times and lost our animatic. It was okay though as we quickly caught up.
During the feedback session where we played the animatic to the class and teachers, we received a lot of feedback. It was apparent that the performance element was a bit confusing and we were advised to inter cut the band throughout our whole video. A lot of the pictures came across unclear and so when it came to the sets we found that the tea party scene really needs to go full out with props and set design.
The ending was also unclear as there was a misunderstanding with the age of the actors and how it might look strange with a young girl at school with a teenager. This is something we need to think about in terms of when it comes to our production. We thought about maybe changing small elements but we still need to finalise the end.
The chaotic scene in the hallway was also a scene that we need to think through as it is our main wide shot and is featured a lot throughout. We have been told to think about who is in the scene, what aer they wearing and what are they doing as it has to maintain a sense of continuity to look good.
This then led to the upstairs scene which means there must be something in the hallway as a reason for the girl to be running upstairs, otherwise it could look strange just running from nothing.
The only other thing to sort out and finalise is the props and costumes but that will all be sorted for the final production.
Overall our animatic will be really helpful when it comes to our production and I found that it worked really well for our group.

Costumes

For our costumes, we don't want our house to just look like a house party, so we figured we needed some authenticity. For this we have decided not to use typical fancy dress costumes but instead to dirty the costumes and make them look scruffy with dark make up and messy hair. We are thinking of using a hire company which we obviously won't be able to make dirty but we can make up for this with the make up and hair.
We are going to look at the Hurtwood Costume department but also a few hire shops that are local.

Location

Originally we wanted a traditional old looking building for the set for our video to give an authentic look which we could make into our "haunted" house. We wanted to use Leith Hill house which is owned by the National Trust and is empty and nearby so it would have been great. We found many disadvantages with the house though and realised we would have to actually book an appointment to check out the place which wasn't good for us as we would have to make a few visits. We also realised that as the house is bare we would have to supply our own furniture which would be pretty much impossible.

We also realised that we would have lighting problems and would have to hire a generator.

Eventually we just came to a decision to use Courtney's house as it was ideal and close to school. The setting inside the house was also ideal as there is a great staircase and many rooms that we could use. This also means that we can make the house look how we wanted to with furniture and decorations.

Digipak Covers

For part of the remainder of the project, we have to design a digipak cover which we haven't yet completed. This album cover that we design has to represent our band through an artwork or image. In my mind for our hypothetical band The Teacups would have an edgy and arty album cover.

There are a few album covers which will give us inspiration to create it:

This album cover from Panic! at the Disco has an edgy dark but still happy vibe to it similar to our music video.


Other inspirations are:








These music covers are also of a similar genre to our band which means that the audience is similar. The colours and style are also close to what we imagined which is why it may work for our digipak cover.

Feedback

You have made some attempt to catch up on the work missing from last week, but once again there are gaps remaining in your blog from this week's work - the timeline itself and the research into album artwork.  There is a competent sense of the development of your artist's image emerging but it is vital that you are putting in some hours outside of class to keep your research and planning portfolio as complete as possible.

Institutional Context

The band we are using, Eels are an American band signed to Vagrant which is an indie rock based label. They sign bands that are all similar to the Eels which is interesting.

Our hypothetical band, The Teacups would be signed to a similar label but most probably British and smaller such as Fueled by Ramen. This label signs indie/rock/alternative bands that are sort of strange and different, a lot like our band.

Our band The Teacups are very similar to Panic! At The Disco which is why we picked Fueled by Ramen, as they are signed to this label which is an independent pop record label.

Fueled By Ramen

Fueled By Ramen was started as a label by Less Than Jake guitarist Vinnie Fiorello and John Janick in 1996. The label is a key player in the development of Punk Pop and released early recordings by Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World and Yellowcard. Among the key artists currently on the label are:

- Panic! At The Disco
- Less Than Jake

Very non-mainstream record label that originates from New York City and is a subsiduary of Warner Music Group.

The Pitch

Pitching our idea to James and Luke was really useful. The feedback we recieved will really help us along our way.
We told them and the class our basic ideas and narratives and overall it went down well.
Some of the feedback we recieved is here:

- Need to think more about the performance element
- Strong narrative
- Costumes need to be well thought through otherwise may look like a normal house party
- Thinking more about the opening pre roll which we want to have. Who? Where? Age?
- The furniture in the house may be non existent so we need another plan

Our Target Audience

When thinking about our band and track, we have thought about a specific target audience.
- Gender : both male and female
- Age : teenager / young adult
- Dresses in indie clothes
- Other favourite bands include Muse, White Lies and The Strokes
- Plays guitar
- Middle class British / European
- Likes to be "different"
- Watches NME and buys the magazine
- Likes going to gigs and festivals like Reading, Hop Farm and Download
- Idols include Pete Doherty and Jarvis Cocker

Chosen song and Research on the band

Our chosen song as I have already mentioned is Flyswatter be Eels. To get a better and more clear idea about the band I have decided to research further about them.

They are an American band originally formed by Mark Oliver Everett who features a lot in their music videos, and is featured a lot more than the rest of the band members.
 They have also been featured in many films including the first three Shrek films which is ironic as we are looking at having a fairytale concept.

Research into Similar artists

When thinking of ideas for our music video, we needed to have inspirations as without being hands on and making the video, we needed help to visualise our ideas.

Here are some people we thought of.

Panic!At the Disco do many similar music videos to what we are hoping to achieve as they also use a strong narrative. Their target audience is also similar to ours and the image and colours on album covers and in music videos is also alike to our ideas.

This is an album cover for Panic!At the Disco. The surrealism of the people and the idea behind it is similar to our impressionistic video.

In this video, the lead singer Brendon Urie acts as a ringleader and we see him singing the lyrics in character to fit in with the narrative. This is much like what we wanted our Mad Hatter to be like in our music video to Flyswatter.


Another artist/band that is similar to ours are Muse. Their music videos have the right mixture between a strong narrative and performance element which we want to contain in our video.

Here is one of their album covers for one of their more successful albums. Even here the band focus more on the narrative rather than the band's star image which is like ours. The band have strong narrative's as a lot of their inspiration is from space and the universe which is why they always have a strange twist in their videos.


The people that listen to all of these bands, are hopefully similar to our target audience as the genre is not all that different.
Panic! At the Disco are our main inspiration as they have very similar music videos to what we had imagined for us.

Feedback

This is disappointing, Sarah, as there is not enough evidence of any time invested in the planning process or the blog outside of the class this week.  My brief asked for your initial ideas to be posted, along with a detailed account of the idea chosen and detailed research into similar artists.  You have only addressed this briefly and will need to spend some time strengthening this material before you can move on to the timeline.  In addition, you have not yet posted your demographic and psychographic audience profile.

Hypothetical artist profile and star image

For the music video, we want to create a hypothetical band. This is not only because we need to, but it is also useful to be able to completely create a star image and mould them into exactly what we want.

We were thinking of having something similar to the actual artist of the song Eels. They have one distinctive band member and the rest change about quite a lot.

We want our lead singer to be quite wacky and loud, but also be qutie crazy. As we want this hypothetical band to be of an indie genre, it won't be completely revolved around the look, however we do want the appearance of our singer to be very extraordinary.

In terms of inspiration, I have been looking at other artists of a similar genre and seeing how they portray themselves. Bands such as Muse and Biffy Clyro, sell themselves on the performance element, which is what we want to do but also have quite a wacky star image.

We are still thinking of names but we are thinking of naming the band "The Teacups" to fit in with the idea of Alice in Wonderland and fairytales.

Initial Ideas for the Music Video

After we had decided on our groups, and I was with Courtney and Sabrina, we had to then decide on an artist, track and genre. We all had decided that we wanted to do something different and not the same indie alternative rock style music video we had seen in the past.

After a lot of discussion we finally decided on a track. Flyswatter by Eels.

I personally had never listened to the band before, but after hearing it a few times, instantly warmed to it. I like the genre of the track as it has quite a creepy atmosphere which really goes well with grim lyrics, for example:

Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through

Our initial thoughts about the video were a Tim Burton kind of style inspired by Alice in Wonderland meets a haunted mansion/fairytale land. The tune in the song would go well with a creepy fairytale storyline and it reminded me of The Nightmare before Christmas.

We started researching artists which had made similar videos to us for inspiration. As we wanted a circus/carnival atmosphere in it, we used Panic! At the Disco for inspiration.

This video has the creepy but humourous style that we want to achieve whilst still being crazy.

Other videos we looked at were Metallica and Marilyn Manson. This was when we decided we didn't want to go down the scary/gothic route but instead have a sense of lightheartedness in our video and use mixed up fairytale characters.

These are still just ideas, however we are certain that we want to go down the creepy but humourous Tim Burton style video.

Introduction to Advanced Portfolio

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:

-a website homepage for the band;

-a cover for its release as part of a digipak (CD/DVD package);

-a magazine advertisement for the digipak (CD/DVD package).

 

 All material for all tasks to be produced by the candidates with the exception of acknowledged non-original sound or image material used in a limited way in video/radio work. Further guidance will be avaliable in the support materials. For music video, permission should be sort from the artist for use of the audio track.
The centre will be expected to allocate marks according to four levels for each three categories:

   1. Research and Planning.
   2. Construction.
   3. Evaluation.

Feedback

Well done, Sarah; you have got most of the material that I was looking for up here (though not the assignmnet on narraitive which Simon set you) and it is a great start to your A2 unit.  Keep going and make sure you get as much detail as possible in relation to the research and planning for the main task up on the blog for next Friday.

Advanced Production Portfolio - Initial Ideas

Once we had got into our group, we had thought about which song to choose for our music video.
We wanted a song that we can find something different to do to and we didn't really want a typical song that is quite generic.

The track that we decided on pretty much straight away is Flyswatter by Eels

Some of the thoughts that we had straight away, was a carnival/circus theme mixed with a haunted house. As the song is quite creepy it would work really well and with a lot of thought and preparation it could be very successful.

The lyrics of the song are also quite weird which would work well with the idea of a haunted house. The chorus is as follows:

Acres of Life finished product. (Preliminary shoot) "Pretty Girls Smile"

Account of Music Video Shoot

We were given a task to shoot a music video for the band "Acres of Life" in small groups. In these groups we were each given a small section of the song to shoot.

 In my particular group we were given the last 59 seconds of the song "I Like to Make the Pretty Girls Smile".
  When thinking about shot choices, I researched into similar bands that have done music videos. Some of these were Green Day, Funeral Party, Guns n' Roses and You Me At Six.

A few of them followed similar shot types which was inspiring for our shoot. A lot of wide shots were used of different bands which we thought of using as well because it shows the whole band playing. Other interesting shots were used as well which were also influenced by these videos. Close-up shots were used in a lot of them and focused on each band member, e.g on a guitar chord being played.

   This all counted as preparation for the shoot and began helping us with our timeline of shots. By doing a timeline, it became really helpful as it made me feel prepared. By putting in what shot goes where for each second, it was really helpful as it was a rough idea of what was needed to be done. We also came up with a shot list for each shots such as :
- wide shot
- close up of backing vocalists
- close up of vocalist
- drum close up
- extreme close up - drums
- two shot of singer and bv

   The day itself was intense as our group was last we got to watch the other groups to make sure our shots would fit in. When it came to our shoot we were all given different roles such as director, cameraman and playback. The editing was stressful as we had to rush from the studio up to the edit suite to quickly edit it together. Overall it was really fun.
  We didn't really encounter any problems because of it being controlled and planned before, however I would say that if we had more time to edit and shoot it would have been more relaxed in term of getting it perfect.
   In terms of the setting in the studio, I think it worked well with the genre of music. With a brown backdrop which gave a rough look, it worked well with the look of the band. Using the studio was good because the sound is projective and the equipment is all there. There wasn't much space which at times was challenging, but luckily our group was last and was more spaced out.
   We had lighting set up for the shoot which also fit in with the mise-en-scene and background as it gave it an edgy underground look. It also looked good on the camera and on their faces as it was quite reflective.
   Again wtih the editing process it was quite stressful as we were limited due to time constraints. It was also difficult at times as we had a bigger group and mixed with time constraints it was even more stressful! I think our group worked well with the time constraints as we managed to finish in time for the rest of the video to be put together. We also edited the video fast paced due to the rhythm of the song.
    The role I started off with was being in charge of the playback and playing the music when it was needed. We kind of mixed around as there were 5 of us as well so I wasn't really given a specific role. We all worked really well as a team especially in the ideas process.
   I was really happy with the overall result as it was really interesting and useful for our actual shoot. We mostly stuck to our storyboard and timeline which we previously made and nothing really changed specifically however we added in some basic shots which would of been useful in the editing process.
   Overall the day was really useful as a preliminary task for the actual shoot next term. The band we used were really cooperative and I feel it worked well using an actual band as they were really enthusiastic.
