Experiment

For my music video, I would like to have an animated title for the song 'Cake', that drips down like icing, as a connation for the song name 'cake'. This was my first experiment with practicing placing photos over videos and seeing if it would produce an animation, this was also a test to see how the fluid the movement would be. 


For this experiment I made a rough outlines for each frame of animation using Photoshop, however when I make the real one for my music video, each frame will be much more detailed with shadows/highlight and such, with more frames for more fluid movement.

Practical research

Before hand I had experimented using the 70D Cannon camera to practice and experiment taking different shots sizes and angles of a record player, however I felt my footage from the experiment was unsuccessful, despite the location being well lit, the camera produced the footage much darker and less visible; the quality overall very poor. I decided I would retry to get footage of the record using different shots but with a camera 600D instead. Instantly, the 600D picked up the lighting much easier, and the footage was much clearer. Being more familiar with the 600D after using it before, it was much easier to zoom and focus, hence making my shots much clearer.

Mood board

For my Music video I would like to have a main character styled like a 1950's house wife; for this I have gathered and created a mood board to form my ideas and visual aspects I find interesting. From this mood board I know that most dresses or skirts are at knee length, and are shoulder length. Bold patterns such as stripes and polka dots seem to be most common.
This will help when it comes to designing the costume, knowing the skirt type, the patterns and the style of having a belt between the two.

Research

Using adobe premiere pro I experimented different shots for my baking sequence in my music video. Using tint, I experimented tinting each shot to the colour of pink; my choice of this colour is because pink is associated with cake and incising; also pink has conations linked to love, in which my music video explores this theme.
