RichMix Collective Identity Trip

Recently, myself and my media class took a trip to RichMix for a conference on collective identity. I found this conference extrememly helpful as Pete Fraiser, took us through the exam step by step and how to answer the questions.

Here is the presentation he used.

We was then lucky enough to meet the co-creator and script writer for The Inbetweeners.

We were taught about what it is like to work in the TV industry and his inspiration behind the series.

MONTAGE 

So we have finally finished our montage for the opening of our music video. We are all perfectionists so it has taken a while to get it exactly how we want it. We took inspiration for videos like Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved and Rihanna - We Found Love. They both began with something to set the storyline, that was separate to the actual music. Here are the videos we looked at and our final video.

For the diegetic sound over the montage (the wind and police siren) we used a website called LGFL audio network. It is a website avaliable to schools to download free sounds effects without the issues of copyright.

We used the sounds "arctic winds" and "zen" layered over each other.

Editing on the 09/03/12

Today we have exported our video so that we can edit in Final Cut Express. We are using the "aspect ratio" tool to have the black screens opening on our main character running.

Here is a video where Lana explains how we used Final Cut Express

Group Meeting - Production Journal

In Friday's lesson (03/01/12) we had a group meeting where Yasemin, Lana and myself finalised our music video ideas. We have known how we want our music video to go however we never really planned the video shot by shot. Also, we didn't really have a clear definite ending however we now have an ending we are all extremely excited about.
Our filming should be finished now in the next two weeks and then we will be using the final 4 weeks to edit our video to perfection!

Production Journal 09/09/11

This week we have finalised our song choice and gathered some potential footage we could prehaps use or maybe just experiment with. We are in the middle of editing it to The Killers - Human (Ocelet Remix) as this is a song that fits with our genre - so far it looks quite cool. Also, our own green screen material has arrived! Meaning we are now going to make some tops out of it and hopefully be able to use these in our video.
