LO4 - Final product

This is our final video:

LO4 - Drafts of music video



This is the first draft of `whats he come as. I believe that the performance sequence looks good and is synced up well with the audio. This was also the most difficult part of editing as syncing up the audio to the instruments and artist had to be incredibly precise. To further improve we can add more of a sepia looking effect over the top to match the conventions of the genre. This will be a pastiche of

We still need to film the scene in the evening where our actor arrives at the rocking chair and is accepted by the band and it's followers. Additionally we are going to be filming at the O2 Academy on the 12th.





The second draft of our music video. We have now edited up to when our character arrives in town. Additioanlly we have now filmed at the O2. We have provisionally edited this footage in at the end however it will not stay there as this will be replaced with footage we will film next week.

LO4 - Evidence of editing





This image shows Alex editing with the input of myself and Josh. 
So far I have edited the performance clips and synced up the instruments and singing to the audio. I have also edited the jump cutting within the bar scene.


This image shows Ewan editing the footage on the mac.
























In this example it shows me editing the holograph effect on on of the clips. Thus this task entails me copying the original clip and placing it on a separate track. Furthermore I had to delay the track above and turn down the opacity to create the overlay.

LO2 - Song lyrics

What’s he come as
[verse 1]
(What’s he come as)
Knights of a waist coat
(What’s he come as)
Chain strangle his throat
 
(What’s he come as)
A trend of socks and crocks and
(What’s he come as)
Now he’s got it all on locks and
 
[chourse]
I don’t wanna know you
Don’t wanna know me
Don’t wanna know us
 
I don’t care about you
Don’t care about me
Don’t care about us
 
[verse 2]
(What’s he come as)
90s pop sensation
(What’s he come as)
Death to a generation
 
But he’ll never listen
He’ll never learn
You take the bullet
You take the burn
 
[chourse]
I don’t wanna know you
Don’t wanna know me
Don’t wanna know us
 
I don’t care about you
Don’t care about me
Don’t care about us
 
[brake]
 
[chourse]
I don’t wanna know you
Don’t wanna know me
Don’t wanna know us
 
I don’t care about you
Don’t care about me
Don’t care about us

Strengths and Improvements

Our pitch had some strong points and also some improvements to be made, our reviewers gave us this feedback.

The narrative has a strong link with the lyrics and the music genre. They all link in together with the Indie genre.

The story line of going round pubs in a town centre works well with all the locations we have chosen.

We have been given a series of different improvements to make that people think may improve the overall product.

Try adding more effects to the video to make it look like other Indie music videos.

Make the start of the video less linear, don't follow a set time, spread it out.
