Faithless 'Insomnia' 30sec clip ROUGH EDIT

Our rough edit is a short clip we put together to get a feel for the music video we are planning on creating, we used different locations and different shots/angles to try find perfects shots for our clips. Also this clip provided us time to experiment with the editing on our music video, therefore we were able to know what worked well and what didn't.

CT: Faithless 'Insomnia' 30s clip EDITING

On wednesday the 9th Oct we edited our 30sec clip, we wanted to experiment with different effects we could use, different shot types and different locations. When filming we filmed roughly an hours worth of footage of all different angles and shots that would make it easier for us in the editing process.

One of the first effects we used waslayering we achieved this by reducing the opacity of the clip and copying and pasting it over the original clip. this creates a layered image on screen in in the bathroom shot where our character was sitting on the toilet this proved to be very effective with the cast effect.

The cast effect was one of the effects we first used, through looking through the different effects provided be Final Cut Pro the image showed dark colours which is what we were trying to achieve as the lighting in the location we used was very bright.

CT: Faithless 'Insomnia' 30s clip SHOOT

Curtis and Jake filmed our 30 second clip on Tuesday the eighth of October, we decided upon our location which was a dark room used by the art department at Ilkley Grammar School. The dark room provided minimum light which goes along with the theme of our music video 'I can't get no sleep.'

We used multiple shots and used three locations in total, we wanted to use close ups and mid shots to show our main characters emotion and actions. This will be in much more depth in our full video.

As this is just a rough 30 second clip we wanted to get an idea of the shots we could use and would be able to use. We now know that we are allowed to shoot in the dark room which will no doubt be a key location for our actual shoot

However we did encounter some problems

• Finding a dark background - even though we shot in the dark room our backdrops were still white/grey this will be something we have to plan ahead for to get a black background sheet of card.
• Getting official permission to film in the dark room.
• Lack of dark locations - other than the dark room on school site there isn't much to work with and if we were to film in school our video would have to be heavily edited. We need to decide on a suitable location outside of school.
• Using an efficient light source.
• To know the lyrics.

This is the original video this is what we were kind of trying to achieve in the sense of using dark colours and star treatment.

Our clip will be up shortly.

Podcast No. 1

Podcast: 7th October 2013

This is our first podcast together as a group in the podcast we highlight what we are planning to do this week and what we are going to do next week. This will help our time management massively as well as keeping viewers up to date with our work.

Insomnia Final Group Pitch

Insomnia Group

The group i am in is with two other members of my class after an in depth discussion about who should go with who we came to the conclusion that me, Declan Williams and Jake Wilson would work in a group well together. This excluded George Holmes and Ben Brearly.

The song we are going to make a music video for is Faithless - Insomnia 

Here is the original video:

Music Vid Pitch

The track I've chosen to create a music video on is 'Gold' by Bondax .

ACT: Bondax

TRACK: Gold

YEAR:  2013

DIRECTOR: 

GENRE: Deep House

MAIN AUDIENCE: M:18-34
LYRICS.



The Deep House Genre:

The genre is recognised for it's relaxing chilled out tracks therefore this should influence my music video, for example effects like slow motion can be applied to some takes and in the actually video for 'Gold' most of it is in slow motion so here's a good example to look at.

Target Audience: 
 To anchor my target audience within the video i've decided to use actors of the target audience age range at an age of 18 and with th actory being male it also anchors my primary target audience which is males of this age, however to appeal to the secondary audience which is females of this ages so i'm planning on applying the female gaze theory with the male actor to appeal to this secondary audience.
