Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde (Music Video) by kaylea

EDL Music video Point 2 of unit 22 & point 2 and 3 of unit 16

 This is one of the shots i did for a music video. All of them are a little shaky but this one i like because, its bright and rather still.

This shot is usable.

 This shot is a little shakier as i moving. Its bright and clear so i also think this shot is usable. 

I really like this shot. Its simple and its pan's out after a few seconds. Its not to shaky and its bright and clear. This is also usable.

 I tried to get most of the shots in order like it had  beginning and end rather than an endless amount of random shots that wouldn't make sense. But this one does work and again , i think this shot is usable.

I tried to get in a lot of close ups so that it would kind of add variety to the video. And this one is one of the many close ups. Its slow moving and is bright so it should be rather clear to see.

Again, its usable.

EDL Local Tour Unit 22.3 & point 3 of unit 16

With this shot, i found it was very dark. But i think overall, its quite a still shot despite the fact that i was standing up. I think this shot is usable.

This shot is rather good. Its good lighting and easy to see and its not that shaky. I think this shot is usable.

 Watching this video, i noticed its rather shaky because i was walking while filming. But overall, i think that its obvious i am moving and helps with the fact that the video is called a local tour.

Despite it being a little shaky, i think it is usable.

 I found most of these videos of when i was walking to school are all rather shaky but again it was because i was walking.

I still think again aside from the poor movement, its usable.

I think that this one is also usable. Even though it is usable.

Music video research and analysis Point 2 of unit 22 & point 2 and 3 of unit 16

What i like about this music video is that its simple. Its not often now that you have many videos that are pretty much close ups of the artists singing. Or not all the way through. I like the one above because it also builds up. And the effect of the art behind them is good to. I noticed the girl half way through the video is in a green section of the painting. And referring to the theme of the song, maybe the green stands for jealousy or something along those lines. Or maybe the colour green stands for something in this video. 

Adele's video is recorded at home. Again something simple. Because it is at home, its a place that she feels comfortable in. Also in this video, we see Adele singing. Its bright and clear and in a few of the shots like the one you see in the picture, as she sings, its almost as if she is thinking as she looks away from the camera. Maybe this is used because of the idea of the song. 

Research - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/introducing/2010/12/making_a_video_part_4_-_on_loc.shtml

Choosing the right location to shoot your video can be tricky. It can be extremely expensive to hire a studio, and you might need film permits to film in certain places. Even the London Underground charges over £300 for a two-hour permit, so once again, you need to ask around and be innovative when finding places to film. Filming outside can often be free, but be prepared to deal with the unpredictability of the weather, and even worse, the public. A video camera can do funny things to even the most respectable of men.

Pick somewhere that means something to you, that is relevant to your music. I recently saw Gummo and Buffalo 66, two outstanding films that were both shot by directors in the places they grew up. They were both deeply connected to their environments, they understood their surroundings, and they could see the odd and subtle beauty in each scene making them extremely personal and moving films. I'm not saying you have to go out there and become the next Harmony Korine, but just think about what you're trying to say in the locations you choose. Resist the temptation to shoot in your dad's garage just because it's easy and free.

Once you have a location, the day of the shoot is surely what it’s all about. This is where your vision is realised, legends are born, and stars shine bright (or self implode). The adrenaline will be pumping, everything will go wrong, nothing will happen on time, but just make the most of it and be ready to react to all the changes.

You see how the smoky underground room and soft lighting really helps create that 1920's atmosphere? With a couple of vintage effects added in the edit, the final product captures all the things Louise was looking for.

In the research above, it shows why choosing certain places is good, depending on the style and type of music you want the the video for. The website continues to go on about the fact that sometimes, video footage isn't always good for your music video. Maybe the music is something light and bouncy, you could always go for an animation.

Even if its a basic animation that is of stick men. To get the perfect video, a person must always decide what type of music they have and work around that.

Evaluation

I really enjoyed making this little video, despite having to be in at the beginning. My brother and two sisters thoroughly enjoyed this little twist on the normal walk to school. They had fun messing around with some of the shots and even gave idea's of what to film.

Even though the weather was a little gloomy, it was bright and dry enough to film and end up with some good video footage. But being in the country side made it a little hard. With having a little rain the night before, it made the mood really damp so i found some shots i couldn't do in some places. It also made it hard to try and walk through it at the same time i was filming. 

The path was narrow and bumpy also adding to why some of the videos were more shaky than they needed to be. It was unscripted so most of the shots i took were unusable and deleted due to unwanted voices or sounds in the background. The wind was rather strong that day to but provided to be usable in the final video. In one shot, you can see the wind picked up but it worked well in some of the shots.

What i didn't like was that i didn't structure it enough to show the day was starting out and that they were going to school. And i don't think it ended in such away to show that it was the end.

What i liked about it was that i tried to make it a little funny. My younger brother likes to play eye spy on the way there and i caught him playing it in one of the video's. Because i used it, i added a little bit of fun to it.

If i could change it, i would have structured it a little better and maybe added something else to it. Like a little music.

Split screen Research Unit 22.2

I like the idea of this first film from Vimeo. It is based upon the idea of the second film we have to do about the opposites. its called 'China: past and future' We see areas of China were, as described in the video, where time has seemed to stop.

Where in Shanghai, China, we see that life has speeded up and sky scrappers and other tall buildings have been made. And this is clearly shown in the video.

Also in the small video, music has been added to the background. Its Chinese based music that fits with the theme of the video.

I didn't really like this one. As much as it tried to show the opposites , i dont think they worked. The one on the left of the screen is ment to show someone being inside but it doesn't show if its day or night. At the start of the video on the left , the upstairs light is turned on but you dont know if that signifies that its dark, showing night time. Or if its dark but really early. They should have shown whether it was day or night first. This therefore shows no kind of opposite to the other.

This next one i really like. It clearly shows the opposites of what is being shown. The other thing i like about this video is that both sides join up on the same place. Like it is in this screen shot.

This one also works too. Its shows the same place at different times. Again, like the one above, its the same place but in two halves. Where the middle of the film where joined in where each video is cut so that both sides look like the one road or path. You can really see the differences of this place at night.

This one to the left i like too. Its the same place at different times of the day. I also like how the shot moves up the building. Both during the day in the night.
