T4- Understand the techniques of music videos (Cut by cut)

In this task we created a storyboard covering all the cuts in the 'Foo Fighters- The pretender, up to 50 seconds, upon creating this storyboard we took pictures of each shot on the storyboard and uploaded them to the computers upon which time we imported theme into adobe premiere pro and proceeded to edit them together to match shots of the original music video with the shots storyboard to attempt to recreate the original video and then used split screen tools to create a comparison video with the original in the corner and the finished storyboard in the rest of the screen.

This process was a partial success as it captured the basic concept of the original video but with more shots on the storyboard it would match the original slightly better.

Though analysis of the video it was recorded that the music video implements long shots, close ups, mid shots, extreme long shots, panning shots and establishing shots as well as having shots that vary in length from as little as half a a second.

After creating this comparison we discovered that band sequences usually include many shots covering 360 degrees and many angles of the band.




Shooting the footage
in this exercise we only used one angle for all 4 shots we filmed. this required multiple takes to get the timing correct. to get the timing correct the actors sung over the actual song with lyrics while they were recorded therefore it was easyer to know what they had to 'sing'. additionaly we filmed all of the song for each shot we did so we could pick what we needed in the editing process.
Editing the footage
in the same way i edited to the beat i used markers to match up the music with the footage to make it easyer to edit together which i also used in conjunction with cuting parts of the fottage to parts of the music such as cuting the shots such as the elton parts to those sections in the music. additionaly implementing the use of layers helped to diferentiate when the singing was stoping and starting for each person making it easyer to match up the video to the music. additionaly to finish the song a pen tool was implemented to gradualy lower the volume from two specified points to produce a fade out at the end.
