Task 3 - Individual Ideas and Pre-Production

Ideas

Music:

The music I intend on using is The Q4 - One of these Days because most of the track sounds like a soothing, jazzy instrumental but the chorus relates to the story and narrative of my music video. "One of these days, and it won't be long. You're gonna search for me, and i'll be gone."

Video:

My music video will consist of 2 sillouhette puppets that are in a relationship and one leaves the other by walking into the horizon (dragging the hand puppet away from the paper therefore making him smaller, and smaller and smaller). As I previously stated above that the chorus relates to the story with the only lyrics of the track being "One of these days, and it won't be long. You're gonna search for me, and i'll be gone."

OR

Music:

Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World

Video:

2 sillouhette hand puppets singing the song above and maybe myself in the middle and the camera is showing them side on. The hand puppets will perform behind A2 paper with bright light in the background.

Script

Shot 1:

The song begins and I walk into the shot behind a A2 piece of paper with a bright light in the background to make the sillouhette's appear.

Shot 2:

2 seconds later i'm followed by 2 puppets, one of them is a Crocodile hand puppet and the other is a Cookie Monster hand puppet.

Shot 3:

The camera is facing from the side of me and the puppets faces so that it is evident that we are singing to the song.

Last Shot:

The 2 hand puppets (Crocodile and Cookie Monster) walk into the horizon (dragging the hand puppet away from the paper therefore making him smaller, and smaller and smaller) and I could put the Crocodile closer to the A2 piece of paper so that the Crocodile looks huge and then I get eaten by it.

My music video will be inspired by Youtube videos such as:

• What a Wonderful World Shadow Puppet
• WHY STOP NOW SPIT LIKE BUSTA (RANDAL)
• Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise
• Four Peters

Equipment List:

• A3 Paper
• Portable Table
• Video Camera
• Small Tripod
• Flexible Arm Light
• 2 Cookie Monster-styled hand puppets
• A Mac Computer
• Final Cut Pro

Bin Tutorial

If you want to keep your work organised, making a 'Bin' helps so that you don't lose your work and makes it quicker to find. You wont be able to store some of your work onto a USB therefore making it useful and less of a hassle.

Be sure to rename your bin so that if you make more than one, you wont get the bins itself confused with others. You will be able to store your work in this folder so that you won't lose it, therefore making your project easier and less stressful.

Scratch Disk Tutorial

Open up Final Cut Pro and select 'System Settings'

Then select 'set' and choose a folder to save your work in.






Then for 'Waveform Cache', 'Thumbnail Cache' and 'Autosave Vault', select 'Set' for each of them and choose your file for each.

Evaluation for 'Fight Over Voucher'

At the beginning of the lesson we were assigned the task to complete a word search consisting of various different methods and techniques. After completing that task which was intended to help us gain a better understanding of shooting techniques, our group was then told to get cameras and begin filming or short film. We as a group (myself, Anton and Kameron) then decided to come up with a completely new scenario compared to the scenario we had thought of last lesson, but because Shantelle wasn't in class, we knew that we couldn't go ahead with our original scenario without her, so me Anton and Kameron had to think of an entirely new scenario which was time efficient and not complicated. 

Our scenario consisted of two men, one walking upstairs (Kameron) and one walking downstairs (myself) and the person walking upstairs (Kameron)  finds 4 vouchers for McDonald's on the floor. The two start arguing and I say that it was mine and that I had lost it. Then Kameron argues that he found it first. I then try and grab him but Kameron then dodges and tries to run away but as Kameron begins to run he trips on the first step of the staircase and falls to the ground on the staircase in slow-motion. Then as he lyes there on the staircase, I snatch the vouchers and walk out.

Whilst filming, we knew that we had to included as many shots as possible but the ones we decided to use were OTS shot, POV, close-up of vouchers, reaction shots and cross shots.
