In my design, if I had actually made this album, the booklet would have included lyrics from other songs and personal biographies on each band member,

Audience profile

After I had made this film, six people had look at the video and had given me a review. Most of the comments that had been made mention that the video keeps a viewer's attention. They had also mentioned that the lip sync was not correct and the noise had not been completey stripped. The lip sync problem occured when I was using Final Cut. After I had realised that when I was adding more footage in the middle of the clips, the end section of the music video moved further away from the music. I tried to rectify this mistake, but to no avail. Also, there was a lack of speed in some of the shots, as the long shots I had taken of this part were not good enough in my opinion, so I couldn't mix up the parts where the lip syncing took place.

Risk assessment

Before I did my music video, I did a risk assessment to make sure that everything would go to plan. I didn't use a tripod for my video, but whilst I was shooting the lip sync, it started to rain in the cemetery and it was snowing heavily during some of the filming. When it was raining in the cemetery during the lip sync, I used a carrier bag to make sure the camera wouldn't becoming damage. During the snow, I did most of the filming from a car. I would have had a highly likely chance of falling over in the snow.

Rough cut

Change in ideas

I have encountered a problem, being that I cannot shoot with a band. So instead of doing a live band performance and a narrative, I am going to change it so that the Xenochrist is playing all of the instruments. This will be more effective as it will create a psychosis like state.

Animatic

This is an idea of some of the shots that I will use in my video. Although there isn't much on the animatic, I will be repeating some of these shots and there will be alot more of the narrative. The pictures will also be in quicker succession and will be more suitable for the genre.

Final Cut and Green Screen tutorial

To achieve this affect, I clicked on Effects, then Video Filters, then Key and then Chroma Keyer. This then came up with a tab named Chroma Keyer. I used the ink blotter to click on a colour from the green screen. After that, I altered the slides named Chroma, Sat and Luma. I could also have used Edge Thin, Softening and Enhance and altered them, but this would have created the unnecessary effect.



To achieve this, I clicked on the button with the diamond in it, then I went onto View, then clicked on Image and Wideframe. After doing this, I moved the image in the box on the ride and changed the shape of the picture. Playing this through showed the box moving and decreasing in size.








To create a transition, I highlighted the area between where I cut. I selected effects, then video transitions, then Quicktime and then final implode.



This is an image to prove that I know how to cut. I selected the appropriate footage and used the razor tool to cut the appropriate footage. After that, I highlighted the unwanted footage and pressed delete to get rid of the unwanted footage.



This is an image of how I selected the footage of the video that I wanted. I played the footage until I got the start of the footage that I wanted. I pressed the button which looks as though it means to skip a chapter in a film and then I pressed the button which looks as though it means to rewind a chapter in a film, selecting the appropriate footage.

Permission

This picture is of the email I sent, seeking permission from the band to use their song.
