It’s amazing how in such a short space of time so much can be achieved. This week we certainly made significant development in terms of the content we would require in order to produce our music video for the Pockets and also started to begin forming some significant structure in the lead up to next week’s pitch.
As things stand we are hoping to incorporate the logo of the group into the video by using the profile heads that represent each member of the band and bringing them to life. We want to use this in combination with the interesting and engaging effects of some backyard science experiments which will provide interesting colour and textures to create the slightly psychedelic effect the we envision. We aim to break down the elements of the song so that we can coordinate different experiments and the visual effect they produce with a section of the music that it is best suited. Below are some of my notes made while brainstorming ideas during the week.
- Backyard science experiments (potentially progress throughout the song), can look at varying speed and reversing play
- Use the logo as a base to come back to throughout song, start simple and build with more heads, shapes, colours, movements
- Potentially have the profile face’s mouths (of the logo) moving in some sections with the lyrics
- One head represents each of the band members
- Filming using green screen – have band member(s) heads in profile like in the logo and have them singing lyrics. Potentially use different props (hats, glasses, lollipops, windmills etc) to make the profile view more interesting and varied)
Next week we plan on experimenting with the green screen in order to see whether we are able to create the effect of isolating the profile heads of the band members. We plan to test this with each other and also see what kind of effect using the different props mentioned above could make.
