Inspirations

We did lots of research in to different music videos to get inspiration for our idea the main video that inspired our video is calvin harris ready for the weekend. its a very cool video. in the video Calvin harris is hold a frame, the video continuously goes in to that frame and every time in goes in the frame something us see dancers. we want to do something similar like this but not as complicated.



The second video that inspired our music video is Beyonce countdown music videos, this music video uses a variety of bright colours and effects which we want to add to our video.



The third video that inspired our video is Beyonce run the world music video, the dancing in the music video was brilliant, it was on the beat and it was fast. we wanted the female dancers to choreograph moves similar to Beyonce and dance to the beat of our song Pon de floor

Editing plans

we've just finished filming our music video, and today i just captured all the footage, as the editor i plan to spend three day putting all the clips where i want them and what clips i want and don't want to use, after i have done that am going use after effects to key out the blue and put in the background . my group members Ali and Natasha will be gathering all the background we'er going to use. as still have plenty of time left to edit i want to take my time editing our video.

Equipment used

Filming 

 We used three cameras to film, i was on one, Ali was on the second one and Natasha was on the third one.  we also use three tripod. on the first day of filming we got the wrong tripods for one of the cameras so we had to do hand held shots with that camera. we use the PD170 for the first day of filming and when it came to filming the boys we used a HDV camera, even though the cameras are both different we don't think it would be a big problem.

Editing 

will be using the mac computers to edit the music video. 

Day two of filming

Today we filmed the boys it was easier than the first day we filmed, this was because there wasnt that much to film and also not many people to film, the boys new what they were doing and just got on with it. one problem we had today was with the blue screen we tryed our best to get rid of the creases, last time we taped it down so that only a few creases were there but this time we had no tape so we had to get some on tp hold it down while filming. we only have one more day of filming to do and that is of the two boys palying vybz kartel and major lazer.

Day one of filming

Today was the first day of filming we filmed the girls and hilary. we used three cameras to film i was on one ali was on the second one and natashaa was on the third, at first we found it a bit difficulte to run three cameras cause we had very limited space to film but we mannaged. overall it was a successful day of filming we filmed all the girls in there first outfit and hilary aswell, the only problem that we had today was that a few guys came to the blue screen room who werent supposed to be there, they refused to leave at first but eventually we managed to get rid of the carried on filming. we took a few pictures of our first day of filming.

Evaluation of digi pack research

Location

we don't have many locations, will be filming in college using the blue screen this is because we want to create our own locations. we want to have funky backgrounds cause it goes with the concept of our video.







our second location is just in front of different walls, for the first 40second of our music video we want to film peoples doing random moves with there feet in front of a wall.

Dance Rehearsal

we organized a couple of days of rehearsals for all the dancers before filming so the dancers can be prepared for when we start filming. we also filmed the rehearsals........

Audition for the dancers

Today i went to the dance department and asked for a few dancers the teacher allowed me to audition them before picking the. the audiens lasted for 15min, with the help of jess the dance teacher i was able to pick 5 good dancers suitable for our video.

Weekly update

This week i auditioned a few dancers and picked out five girls and two guys as the main dancers for our music video. we've also decided to changed our idea abit, instead of doing the whole thing outside we are going to film most of the dancers infront of the blue screen and create digital images. i ve also organised rehearl days with the dancers which i will record post on the blog. we've already filmed the begining of the music video,me and my group have decided to film and edit as we go along the rason for this is because we dont want to waste valuable time capuring the footage.
