In this music video we tried to create a magical, dream-like world by using effects such as; High contrast, slow motion, reverse motion..etc to reflect the lyrics and music. I think the contrast of the dark real world and the bright colours in the 'dream world' work really well. I was really pleased with how the reverse motion looks, as its a new effect I haven't tried before.
A showreel to show my work for 2009/10. Most the videos/short films featured can be found in full on my blog. But some are still being filmed and edited and will be published soon!
I've had so much fun making all these videos, and I'd like to think my skills in filming and editing have improved from making 'Always like this' and 'London weather' to the short film I'm now working on called '18' I'd like to thank all my actors (who are usually the same two people) I could never make any of this without you x
Doesn't time fly when you're having fun? This time last year I was filming and editing my media AS project, I had to make a 2 minute opening for a film. Mine was a social realist film: I wanted to create a gritty, realistic setting. With a realistic main character which the audience could relate to. In the opening 2 minutes there is little dialogue, so I used music to reflect the mood of the main character.
I got an A for this coursework which I was really pleased with, and I hope to finish making the rest of the film some day.
It's scary how popular our 'Always like this' video is becoming.
The band (Bombay bicycle club) made a competition for people to make a video of themselves dancing to the song and upload it to youtube. They were then going to watch them all and choose the winner. However there was only two entries (us and some American girls who danced in their car for most the video) So we think the competition was cancelled as we didn't hear about it again.
But now the video has 38,913 views. 124 ratings. and has been favourited 285 times.
I think that's pretty good going for a video we made for a laugh! Here's some of the best (and funniest) comments we've had so far...
'haha this is epicly good.'
'You really shouldn't be having so much fun with insufficiently sturdy footwear. Mark my words young people, a sprained ankle will soon wipe the smile off your face. Otherwise very good, carry on.'
'This video makes me feel happyyy, you look like you're having loads of fun and this song is amazing. It really works!'
'Quality tune, funny video too top marks to the ladies dancing their arses of .10 out a 10 for effort.'
'You guys just helped me to feel so much better. I have never heard of the band but the music is great. I will add them to my list of new music to get. Thank you so much for the much needed uplift.'
It's a bit late to be going on about the new year, as its now been a good 3 days of 2010. But I just haven't had time to blog, however I did have enough time to use my new editing software which I LOVE- its sony vegas studio 9 (platinum version) fancy or what? ;) So here is a 2009 montage I made..
With the upbeat music and use of photos and video clips I really think this short video sums up what a fun year 09 has been. 2010 means more filming, more editing and (hopefully) getting a little bit closer to where I want to be.
