Transitions relating to music.

At the beginning of this music video the cuts between camera shots are very fast and last less than a second to match the tempo of the beginning of the song. There is also a link between the shots of the guitar and the drums. The majority of the transitions are at the same time as the main drum beat. Throughout the song the actions of the characters are also very brief and strong to match the music. Throughout the song the only transitions are straight cuts, because the tempo of the song. This is true to when it slows down at 1:29 when the character walking through the halls she slows down just before pushing a boy with a arm in a sling. Then when the tempo picks up again the cuts increase all the way through until the end of the song where there is a confrontation between the paramore band and the character in the video. Some cuts also change to the same sequence but with a different lighting,almost like a fade to white. at about 2:30 when the guitar solo happens the cuts between the story and the band increases even more. Still at the end when Hayley Williams confronts the main character her actions are very strong and fast. The longest time in this sequence without at cut is the end scene where the music has stopped and the character is left crying in the middle of the halls. Then the final fade is to black.

Looking at Camera shots

In the video Lego house by Ed Sheeran, There is a mixture of camera shots that are used within the video while the story is unfolding throughout the song. The main character in the story is linked to the lyrics by the miming and the shots him writing the lyrics onto a notepad. There are also shots where the camera tracks the characters movement from different angles such as when he is walking towards the stage. The close up shots that are used with this video, helps show the emotion that was going through the character.
After the turning point where you get to realise that the character is not Ed Sheeran but a wannabe who is in love with Ed Sheeran. After this point the lighting becomes less focused towards the character but the image of Ed Sheeran. The camera is unsteady in most of the shots throughout the music video, which adds to the effects of the unsteadiness  of the character in focus. The cuts and shots also all relate the beats and speed og the song. The transitions that are mainly used in this video is straight cuts or fade to black. This is something that I am looking to use.

Up date on how are storyboarding is going.

This is just another video of our storyboard to show how it is improving in both the amount of work done and the detail within it. We are taking on our time with this part of the project as we need to show every single shot that we plan on using in our music video.

Production roles being filled up

After this weekend I have managed to fill a position of a hair stylist, a make up artist and a lighting expert/ techy, These positions were mainly decided because we don't believe that many actors are going to want me or George to be doing their hair or make up, in case the end up with inverted Mohawk and clown make-up.

Nerd Love lyrics

 
Here are the lyrics of Nerd Love. We dicided to choose this song because of the lyrics.The lyrics are quite meaninful in terms of how a couple fall in love no matter what you look like or how you are as a person. This song shows that a normal girl falls in love with a nerd, even though people laughs at him, she still falls in love with. This song gives meaning of falling in love but has a comical side to it, this gives us an opportunity to give a proper video of two people falling in love but give it a funny twist to it as well.

Meeting arranged to fill cast spaces

I just visited one of the Drama teachers about who i could use for the actors and extras in our music video, she then organised a meeting between either me or george next friday to choose our cast.
