I have been researching into how to get the wobble 3d camera effect that you see in mura masa's music video for 'What if I go?'. This seems to be more of a complex process than I had initially thought. To help gain an idea of how we would do it, I youtube searched 3d camera wobble effect and this came up:
After watching this I looked into the Nishika cameras to see if that would be something we could buy or something that is too expensive or too unreliable so I went on amazon to see what the reviews were:
These reviews basically explain that whilst the cameras are good if your using them for a bit of fun then they can be okay, however if your spending a fair amount of money on it and have high expectations, then you will be disappointed. Also something that we need to keep in mind is that because they are film cameras, we have to wait for the film to be developed. So after seeing that the actual vintage film cameras might look like more of a complicated and unrealistic thing to be able to do effectively. I'm going to experiment with my digital camera and put the camera on fast mode so it takes multiple pictures when holding down the shutter button. I have a canon 1d photography camera. I'm going to set up lighting to create shadows on the people I shoot so it creates more of a dramatic effect.
Well done, a better effort on the blog last week! Please try to post every day during the next 3 weeks as I hope that your group are going to be doing a lot of planning including rehearsals and test shoots. I will be intrigued to see how you get on with the camera test you mention above. That is a good example of a post that should NOT be an essay, if you show how you set up the camera, include the test footage, then I think all that's left is to evaluate the images, in what ways are they or aren't they what you are trying to achieve and given that what are your next steps... What have I done? What have I found out? How does that knock on to my productions planning?... Well done Phil
In this essay I will be analysing the sound in a scene from Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese uses multiple sound techniques in order to show the audience specific themes in this scene and to give them an idea on what to look out for. The sound pattern in the scene: Classical music: Start: Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound - Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound Middle: Parallel, diegetic sound - Parallel, non-diegetic sound, Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound End: Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound. As the Teddy and Chuck are showed in to the office of Dr Crawley we start to hear classical music fade in. We then see a high angle shot of the building as the music gets louder transitioning into the indoors scene. From this we can assume it was used as a sound bridge to keep the scene flowing and catch the audiences attention as the scene progresses. After some dialogu...
The 'What if I go?' music video shares many of the same aspects that we aim to have for our music video and we have partially shaped our music video concept from this. The idea of youth culture in London is something that I feel is important and get's mis-interpreted a lot of time. This video breaks away from this and the viewers get an insight of what it's really like to be a part of the London youth culture. It also explores young love with the flirtatious couples in the video. The video has a very raw, gritty feel to it. It doesn't seem set up and has a genuine feel to it. This combined with the way the video has been shot and the aesthetics each shot leaves the viewers with a very clear and accurate idea of what the London youth is about. It's clear that the outfits that the people are wearing are clothes they wear everyday and haven't been asked to wear something that they feel uncomfortable in. It's also very clear that they are comfortable...
At first we decided to use t a combination of ideas for our 2nd concept however since then we have coe up with something completely different to our last idea. This is what we had came up with before, heres a brief description Aidan had wrote on his blog. "After combining our two previous ideas into one, we were now left wi a large gap to fill. This was a whole second idea we had to come up with and further develop. We took a lot more time thinking about this idea and making it different enough from the first one. However in the end we had decided on a final idea. Our second idea would incorporate my silhouette idea, and Mima’s animation idea. It would be a much more simple idea as it would involve only a rapper in the studio. He would be on a green screen that we would turn white or possibly just a white background and be rapping and dancing etc. Similarly to Bruno Mars’ music video of “That’s what I like” small animations would be around him or on him. Possibly ...
