Nickelback-Rockstar

From listening to the song Rockstar and watching the music video it has shown me some possible ways of editing for the video and has also given me some ideas for my music video for the song.
First thing i could see from the video is that there was probably a heavy amount of editing for the jump cuts to seem almost none existent for the transitions between different people as they lip synced the song.

Research Tools

To research the idea i will:

1.Listen to the song

2.Watch the music video

3.Speak with the client

4.Watch different music videos for additional ideas

5.Look on the worksop got talent website

Skills

To create this idea i will need to develop my editing skills so i can figure out how to do split screen.I will also need to develop my camera skills so i can work a camera.I will also need to develop my planning skills to make sure everything is organised.I will also need to develop my researching skills.I also need to develop my storyboarding skills to create a good narrative.

Creative Exploration

To develop my editing skills i will do some experimenting with editing to see what i like and what i don't like.To develop my camera skills i will work with a camera to see what shots work and what ones  don't .To develop my planning skills i will learn about the process of pre-production.To develop my researching skills i will experiment with different kinds of research.To develop my storyboarding and timing skills i will film the story board for a set amount of seconds each time until it is the length of the music video.  

Ideas For Music Video

From watching the music video has given me some thoughts and ideas for the editing in the video.

My first idea is the i noticed that it only transitioned to one fun camera shot so what if it the screen was split into sections so multiple people would appear on the screen in the separate sections lip syncing.

Another idea would be to have people playing air guitar when the lyrics say "I wanna be a rockstar."

From speaking with James Clark and learning that he doesn't mind how we decide to edit the video i have now got a few more ideas for the music video.

For the parts that mention objects like baseball we can have some one using something like a baseball bat.
For the big black jet part we can shoot it in the travel and tourism room as there is an aeroplane there.
For the tour bus we could use the ones outside of oscroft. For guitars we could ask music to see if we can borrow any.
When the song is talking about eating meals for free we can shoot it in the bistro with some one not paying for food.

Task 2

For my music video(Rockstar) i am doing for the client i have done and will do many forms of primary and secondary research for it.

Research I Have Done

So far i have done two different kinds of primary research these are:

. I have done research into different ways of editing
Editing Experimentation

.I have spoken to our client James Clark about how he would like us to make the music video.His response is that he wants it to be unique about who we do with the music video.The medias involvement with the event is
. filming the auditions
.filming the music video
.filming the show and editing it for dvd
.editing a charity VT to be played during choir performance


For secondary research i have :

.Watched the original music video of Rockstar to look for any potential ideas .

.I have watched different music videos to also look for ideas.

Research I Could Do

For primary research i could do i could:

.Talk to other people also doing the music video to see if they have any ideas.

.Talk to people around the college(students and teachers)to see if they have any interesting ideas for the video.
These ideas would be better than the ones for secondary research as i am getting he information directly.

For secondary research i could:

.Go to the library and look for any books on music videos 

.Look online to see if the internet can give me any ideas.

.Look in music magazines for any music videos that have been edited in an interesting way.

Comparing Primary And Secondary

Researching different types of editing by actually editing some footage is better than watching different music videos for editing ideas as i find it is better to experiment with these types of editing better than just seeing  what other people have edited in a certain way.
 I also think that the fact that i talked to James about what he wants for the music video is better than asking other people if they have any ideas as James would have thought this through as it is for his show.  

greenscreen editing

Today we have learned about the basics of using a green screen.the basics of it is that you stand infrount of a green background and then preforming an action infrount of it. After that we put the footage on to premire which is when we used ultra key to get rid of the green background which then resulted in some people becoming pink and purple due to the colour balance being off.This however was sorted once had put a new background video to replace the green screen.We then began to experiment with the green screen footage we had and ended up with some pretty funny results for instance i used the same footage 3 time at different frames to make it appear that there were three of me doing the same actions at different times.This was the final product that as made from my expermenting .

Editing Experimentation

Today we have started learning the basics of editing and then have experimented with that editing to see what we can come up with.These are the steps we took.

1. First of all we went onto launchpad and went onto premiere pro.

 2.We then had to start a new project by clicking new project.

3. next is the settings menu.
                             

                                4.this is an extension of the settings menu.                                   

5.this is where you would do all the editing and adjustments of the video or music.                                                           

6.Importing files is what allows you to get them files.

7.this is where you will find all the video footage you have acquired or downloaded.This can be found in the bottom left corner of the screen. 

8.this is where you will be able to save your work.All the work i did was saved into the PROJECTS folder. 

 My first edited video can be found here
