The Setup

This is a video of us setingup the set for our video.

Weekly Plan

This is our plan for the week. hoping Tina is in tomorrow.

Digipak Cover Idea.

This is my first idea for a Digipak. I went with a shadows theme because of the name of the song and used Cross-hatch Dark Lines to give the shadow feel then altered the brightness and contrast.

These are all pictures i got off my blog so no online image steeling.

Lip-sync Test Footage

On Friday Me Tina and Emma, finally got some test footage done. We recorded a lip sync test for Emma as lead vocals and i think it went rather well.

First off we went to a room at Coleridge and recorded Emma lip syncing from a few different angles and a shot of Her out side, We did this to add variation to out shot.

I think this video works well because it really looks like Emma is singing the song, which she seem to have a talent for as shown in our first lip sync lesson and Emma's Spice Girls video.

Doing this task showed me that for the real thing we are going to need lots of different shots to make the video look good for example in the looooooooooong intro, and cut a-ways of other band members and the Alice In Wonderland theme thought out the song.

I Think we are going to find this project challenging but very exciting at the same time. :)

This Is Our Lip Sync Test!

The Quest For Power

On a unsuspecting Monday morning, Me Emma and Tina decided to embark on A 'Quest For Power' we started by looking for Dan, a teacher in the art department and ask if we could borrow power for our video. We looked for about 15 minuets and couldn't find Dan anywhere, Suddenly we found Steve walking down the stairs in reception. We asked Steve f he knew were Dan would be and he led us strait to him.

We talked to Dan and he said we could use a power plug from art there for granting our location power.

Screen Test Pictures

These are some of the photo's we took today for screen tests.

Me as the Mad Hatter ( In the actual video i wont be the mad hatter, i will be the bassist.)

White Rabbit played by Elliott but we will have to put bunny ears over the wolf ears.

[More pictures will be coming soon]

This morning

This morning i helped Max and his group with test footage for the video, me and max playing the guitar to there song. For the actual video me and max will play buskers in cambridge.

The test was to see if we could sync the guitars to the song.

In this block i am doing test footage for Yaz's group for the memory scene in which i play guitar. Then i will be joining my group to take photos of people in costume there costume for our video, we have an assortment of alice in wonderland style costumes for people to put on and take photos of them for planing on our blogs.

Shotlist

This is a picture of our shot list, there are 20 shots overall. We tried to make sure we used a varity of different shot types and not just stick to the average Mid Shot etc.. The shot list includes what time of day/night the shots are fimed, whos in the shots, whether the shots exterior or interior and the camera/shot type eg, Mid shot.

location ideas

These are some pictures from the location we hope to shoot in at Long Road.

We hope to get power for our lights from the art block however we do have an alternitive location as Charna has kindly let us use her house/garden/shed to film as it backs on to a similar clearing to this. :)

storyboard

Today with Nick we were given a task to chose 30seconds from our song and create a storyboard for it.

We picked the 30 seconds of Shadows from 1:20 to 1:50

This part of the song is where the first chours comes in. This is were the song becomes a bit ore upbeat which is why we chose it. It begins with the lyrics 'I'm moving on, I hope your coming with me' and then becomes instrumental.

Here is the storyboard we created:
