Narrative quick cuts flash back
We have only just discovered this video. One of our peers mentioned that they had watched it and it instantly reminded them of our concept. For example they have used the quick cuts edited on the software to show the passing of time. Also they use a shot where the girl changes into a different girl which was one of our main ideas. This has enabled us to see the idea on a proffesional scale as it would have been a high budgeted video. I am trying to find a clip showing how they made the video but so far have been unsuccessful.
Walking towards camera
This idea was influenced by Avril Lavignes I'm With You Video, directed by David LaChapelle. The video is of Avril walking towards the camera .Most of the video is in slow motion, however Lavigne's mouth movements are in sync with the song's vocals. This was done by recording the footage while the song was played twice the speed. We could attempt this, however will make sure we record it in normal speed too, incase the outcome is not effective.
We want to try different camera techniques, particularly depth of field, when the emphasis is on the guitar and Joanna's musical abilities. After watching Amy mcdonald's video (posted earlier on in our research) we were inspired by the different camera techniques used to film the guitar in an interesting way. We acted upon this idea last lesson and experimented around with the cameras we will be using, as they are new to the college. With the help of our teacher we managed to find a tool on the camera that allows you to blur a specific point on the focal for a fraction of time. In order to make it last we will have to film both shots (joanna and guitar and boy and girl sat on bench) then overlap on final cut pro.
The video below uses depth of field throughout.
