Target Audience for our music video

Editing Time Lapse ideas

While writing our story board we had the idea of starting our music video with various different time lapses to set the scene. For this reason, i did some research into different time lapses to find out how effective they are and which angles would be best to use and which times of the day would be most suitable. Here is an example of one i found on YouTube.

How to use a green screen

As we are coming towards the time where we are required to begin filming our music video, I think now is the perfect time to develop my knowledge on different editing techniques and how to do different things. This will mean I have an idea of what to do before we try different new things.
Below is a video I watch on how to make a green screen video, I decided to do some research into how to use a green screen as for our chorus the idea is that a range of different people will be walking to the lyrics 'take a walk' and in the background there will be a wide range of different locations from around the world. And we are hoping to achieve this by using a green screen. Although we are going to be practicing with the green screen before we film the actual music video using the green screen, watching this video has given me a good idea on how to use it before we actually have a go.

The Story Board!

We are currently completing the storyboard, which is taking much longer than expected as we have found it hard to think of a range of different ideas. We have only covered around 55 seconds of the song, meaning we need to speed up and complete the story board as the song is 4 minuets and 25 seconds long and we are unable to focus on filming until this stage of the planning is finished. Here are some pictures of where were at with the story board:

Pitch Video: 2

during our first pitch video we were still in the stages of thinking of an overall idea which was final, this meant that we didn't have a completely clear idea of what we wanted to do for the video. We gained some feedback from our teacher on what to include, and re filmed our pitch video the week after with a strong and clear idea of what we wanted to include in our video.
