Practical research

For my music video I would like to have an animated title of the song 'Cake' dripping down like icing, this is my first experiment of attempting the animation, however I need to further test by trying to over lay a more detailed version of the animation on to physical footage.

Research for lighting and weather







Planned shooting: 26.11.2016

The clouldy weather blocks out over exposure, making It an ideal day to do shooting, the 26th falls on a Saturday, making more cast aviable for shooting and for longer time. Based on the timing of the sunrise and sunset: (sunrise 7.24 am/ sunset 3.56 pm) Shooting will begin at 8am and finish at 3.30pm, due to lighting. However equiptment will be set up at 7.40 am (giving 20 minuites to prepare before shooting). Shooting will be done at the kitchen location for the ‘1950’s house wife’ shots, due to rain at 8am and limited timing to move location later during the day due to ealy sunset.

transition music video





Creating my transition music video was a major learning curve to me; after trying different ways to get my YouTube video up, all attempts failed with the same result- the sound to my music video being muted. This has shown me that I should have researched the song and tested the song on YouTube, before going straight into production.


 During production; it soon came clear that we hadn’t pre-prepared enough, our preproduction work wasn’t detailed or in depth enough. Whilst recording, our actors were not sure what to do, which left them feeling uncomfortable in the shots. Much of our footage was ideas thought of at last minute, (we hadn’t thought about location or planned out a storyboard). This also made our post production longer because we had not planned the narrative. Thankfully, because are task involved lip-syncing, we could form some structure in our music video. Also during post-production I learned it’s crucial to take much more footage then you will need, due to cutting shots down.  We constantly found ourselves filling in pieces of the song with random footage.


However; despite many barriers, after hard work in post-production we assembled a music video together that flowed smoothly. I practiced with over laying clips, colour correction and time lapse. I learnt the trickery of making random clips sync to the song. what I have learnt from making this music video I will take making my proper one. I now know the importance of pre-production and have learn skills in post-production.
My main flaw when making my music video was the copy right issues, as I was unable to show sound.
