Beau-music video research

Here you can see the results for our music video research, in regards to our artist Beau. 3 out of 5 people that were asked to take part said that animation and stop motion is what make a music video interesting. They also said that they prefer a cheesy, romantic story line within a music video and that they listen to artist like Ed Sheeran and Arctic monkeys. Both have one thing in common and that is that they play instruments.

lesson 16

During this specific lesson, me and Sarah were still working on our music video on final cut pro. This lesson we were concentrating on the footage we took and were trying to put each clip in time with the lyrics. The one problem we found is that some of the clips did not match up with the lyrics, in regards to the lip syncing of Beau; however, some of the footage did match up with the lyrics.  

Lesson 15

During this lesson me and Sarah started to develop our stop motion animation images on Photoshop. The purpose of the animation/ stop motion part of the music video is that we believe it emphasise the narrative of the music video and the element of romance in the video. We also believe that it makes the music video more interesting and original.

lesson 14

In this lesson me and Sarah started to take print screens of every movement we made on our animation. We developed this by moving each body part, for example, arms, legs etc. on our Beau drawing. By moving each body part step by step and taking print screen of the picture on Photoshop, helps to produce a smooth movement of the animation.

response to blog feedback

Animatic- Beau

As a group, Sarah and I will be making improvements on our animatic such as adding more shoots taken from different angles. This will hopefully speed up the animatic and make the visualise more in-sync with the song; ‘You give me something’.

Lesson 13

In Your Arms- music video analysis

Just the way you are- music video analysis

Ed Sheeran music video analysis

You give me something- analysis

To improve these posts I will be analysing all the music video posted and will be adding information on all the lessons listed that are described as ‘empty post’.

Pitch feedback

As a team Sarah and I will be discussing in detail what information we gathered from presenting the pitch to the class. This will include discussion on how we plan to implement changes to our project due to the audience feedback. By furthering this, it will demonstrate that we have considered audience feedback and are able to adapt our work due to the feedback.

Blog feedback- improvements to make, and add

I will be re-listening to Leanne’s audio feedback, and responding to the points she made.

Blog feedback

On this post I will be commenting on the improvements that I will be making on my blog;

·      Relevant labelling of posts

·      Improvements on journal posts

·      Go back on to the journal posts and add more context to each of them e.g. how has this knowledge/research impacted the way in which I have thought about my coursework

Audience profile- Beau

As a group Sarah and I will be improving our audience profile, by being more specific on our target audience e.g. we are targeting a more upper class indie, for example topshop indie they inspire to look like the traditional indies, but have a more of edge to their fashion. They will accomplish this by layering with edgy pieces to their clothing e.g. studded leather jackets, bracelets, converses etc. However they are cleaner in the way they look, unlike the traditional Indies; they will go to festivals but won’t get dirty in the mud.
