Inspirations for our music video

These are some videos we looked at which gave us some ideas of what we wanted to include in our music video:

Logo

We have decided to use the jelly bean animation as DJ DES's logo.
The animation is fun and young which we feel reflects the persona DJ DES portrays through the music and the music video.

In todays lesson I took all the images and imported them into iMovie, to form the animation. When I played  back the short video each individual images zoomed in when they played, I had to highlight all the photos and then removed an automatic effect which went on each individual image to make it zoom in.

This was the end result:

In todays lesson I edited all 98 photos we took for our jelly bean animation, I had to rotate and resize each picture. After I had done this I then altered the brightness and contrast of each picture to make them look more visually pleasing.

After we set up the equipment for the animation we then set up the jelly beans and began taking photos of each individual movement, I had to move each jelly bean less than 1cm each time; this took just under 2 hours. 


"These photos are the photos I took of the layout of our jellybean animation We laid out pieces of paper and all the jellybeans on the table. I set up the tripod so the camera was above the paper so it was positioned perfectly so the photos all came out the same distance and alignment . This will benefit as it will make the editing process much smoother. Also, I took some example images which are upside down to show exactly how the images that were taken came out."
