Shoot day reflection

Morning shoot: 

Luckily, nobody had forgotten anything to bring in. So this made it easier when it came to shooting from the get go. We started off with Guy leaning on the speakers doing the lip sync as well as other basic shots to make sure we had a selection of lip sync stuff before we get to the more interesting visual shots which would ultimately take up more time. Matt, our supervisor described it as eating the meat and veg before you get on to the tasty dessert. We then made some progress with the visual, more intricate shots. Which a lot had just come to us in the moment and wasn't planned. For example, We put guy on the dolly tracks and made him lie down. We then placed the camera on top of a bridge that we made out of a plank of wood on top of two of the blocks. We would then shoot guy back and fourth on the dolly whilst lip syncing. Things like this took up most of the morning and before we knew it lunch had come around. Apart from a few shots, we had only really used Guy in the morning so we knew that we were going to be using more of Heath and the Dj decks in the afternoon. As well as this, we hadn't got the speaker shots yet so we were anxious to get that done too. We decided to all have a fair amount of time on the camera, directing, being the floor manager and taking pictures. We also wanted to make sure we kept the performers happy so we had food that they could eat and we made sure they were weren't bored.

Afternoon shoot: 

In the afternoon shoot, we didn't have as long as the morning, we had a very short amount of time to shoot a lot of things that we hadn't got yet. To help speed the process up, Aidan and Matt filmed some of the powder, speaker stuff whilst me, Maya and Mima got some shots of Heath on the DJ decks. Whilst this was not crucial it helped us to fill in with some extra footage incase when editing we find it had got a bit repetitive. We managed to make the most of the short amount of time and got a lot done. I would say all together, the shoot was very successful and although some things changed, we shot nearly everything we had set out to do.

Analysing sound in a scene from Shutter Island

Image
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...

Similar Products - Mura Masa - What If I Go? (Music Video)

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...

Finding our concept - Idea 2

Image
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 ...
