Research

The effects I like from this video is the silhouette of people dancing and I would like to re-create this effect when filming, this e difficult and time consuming but I think overall it will look really effective so would like to include this.
I also like the editing and the way it flickers and fades in-between shots, I would like to research and find out how this is done so I can use it when I come to my next draft as it looks really good in this video.
I looked at this video for some ideas for my own video, it
is by Nicki Minaj who is the artist for the song I am doing, I had a look at
this video and saw how unique and weird Nicki Minaj can be, this video is
really random and abstract it does not really relate to the lyrics but it still makes
a really effective video. It gave me some good ideas for mine:
From watching this video, I have decided I should use bright colours such as in
this video a bright pink and a bright blue are used a lot. Her makeup is also
really bright and colourful as well as her clothing so I will apply this to my
video and artist. The effects I like from this video is the silhouette of people dancing and I would like to re-create this effect when filming, this e difficult and time consuming but I think overall it will look really effective so would like to include this.

Evaluation of the first draft of my music video:
For my first draft I did the filming in Pozition night club which before seemed
like a good idea as it would give a real life nightclub setting and atmosphere,
however once the filming was finished and I had looked over it I realised it
was all slightly too dark and unclear. The reason I chose the night-club was
too use strobe and colourful light however looking back at the footage I feel I
could recreate this in the theatre at Wyke using their strobe lighting and
smoke affects which can create the look of a nightclub even though I won’t be
in an actual nightclub. This will also improve the quality of the video as it
will be clearer and brighter giving a more professional look and shows
identification between characters and audience so the audience can relate and
interact with artists throughout video getting a clear and detailed image of
the artist that they most likely admire.
In the theatre I also will be able to have the song playing whilst we are doing the filming so the lip-sync will be in time with the artists as we had some trouble with the speed which meant it did not quite match the lyrics. From my first draft I have found that there are thing that could be improved if the setting was changed, therefore I am going to be redoing my video in the theatre, some of the footage from the other location was really good and my actors managed to play the role really well so I will take the knowledge and apply it to my actual video.
I also found that I did not have enough footage to fill the whole of the song which I thought I would so I now know to do a lot more filming to make sure that there is enough clips to cut and edit and will have more than enough to fill the entire song. I’m glad I began filming early as I had plenty of time to edit which seemed to take up the majority of the time and I managed to finish well before the deadline. This gave me chance to look over the video and evaluate and look for improvements and now I also have the next few months to recreate a whole new improved video.
The first draft of my music video has been really helpful for me and has given me some good ideas on ways to improve and re-make a better more professional and successful looking video. It has been a good contribution to the planning process and now I have a clear idea on what needs to be done in order to achieve a better grade.
