Todays lesson we focused on editing the footage we had already got by adding more split screens and effects. Emily also completed a section of the music video where the smaller screens continue to split for a short duration of time, once the screens became too small to split any further they then began to reduce to the beat of the music. This is one of our favourite sections of the music video so far as it is very bright and colourful which is everything we wanted our music video to be.

Here are some examples of the effects we have used in our music video:

First Attempt of our music video

Photo Animations

Here are the picture animations we created that we have edited into our music video. These turned out to be very successful and look really good with the rest of our footage. The reason we decided to do these animations is because we thought it would add an exciting element to our video and we wanted to try our new ways of creating a video instead of just using a normal video camera.

Music Video Progress

WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF EDITING 

We had the initial idea of placing colour filters over some of the footage we filmed; we were not entirely sure how to do this so we did our research and found a way to alter the colour of the footage. At one point in our music video we have a triple split screen of lips singing the lyrics of the song. We put a different colour filter over each pair of lips (one orange pair, one pink pair and one blue pair).

Also we put an effect over the clips of dancing feet-both the ballet and tap. The effect looks as if the image has been drawn, also the colours are just black and white so we have more space to experiment with different colours to use for the the text we are going to place over the footage.

We still need to film some more footage due to the lack of footage we have at the moment as a result of changing our music video song. We are planning to do some more filming this evening and then we will have the bulk of footage complete. Next monday we are going to project one of images below on to a white wall and have Emily do a jump over the projection, we will then slow down the footage and place it at the end of the music video as the music is fading out. The slow motion signifies the end of the song as is follows the fading out of the music.

Typography being used in the video

In our music video we want to use text, showing the lyrics being sung. We took inspiration from Rhianna's music videos, she use brightly coloured texts for certain lyrics.

Here are some examples of the font we are planning to use:
