Why we chose black and white for our music video.

After some research i found out that black and white is normally used in a sad or depressed song. Our song Beautiful Lasers is a depressed song, so being black and white goes well with it.

Analiys of Our Music Video

In the process of our Music video we learn a lot. We used new software Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and video, we did have some problems which were resolved as fast as possible. We completed our Music video on deadline with the per-production elements.
We used different shots and locations to create different environment. The whole movie was black and white.
As a group i think we worked extremely hard and well together,  we showed this by everyone participating in the pre-production. production and editing. for example: we worked together in filming when we needed to camera or when we where on the roof we needed to work together because we had limited time.
We used Long shots, Close up, Pan, extreme long shot, Medium shot, Tilt.  This was done to show that we understand the different shots and the effect why they should be used.
The different locations were used because it makes the music video a bit more interesting and helps keeps the concentration of the audience. The locations changed and increased in the process of our music video. We added the location of gym and included a green scene to test how it works. This helped us to learn something new and make our video unique to fellow classmates. We had two people in our music video Munashe dancing and also singing, we also had Haris Umair rapping. The Music Video did have some shots we retook and also so videos didn't load up to the software.
Our video has been put on YouTube and has got 5 likes and 2 dislikes. This shows that our video is liked and can also have improvements to make it better. One improvement as a group we came up with was to add a bit more performance by Haris Umair, however we did try but for some technical reason the clips wouldn't load.

Chroma Key

Filming on Green screen
when editing
green screen will be removed and replaced by a background of you choice. it means that you can be in any place you want we can do this by: performing a scene in front of the green screen and changing the background. it is very important that you chose the correct file type in order it to work.
softwares that can be used are:

Sony Vegas pro 9, Adobe Premiere Pro

it is very important that you chose the correct lighting and make sure that their are no shadows that interfere with the filming. the lighting will also be affected by what the background is, this will make the image stand out and will make it easier to understand that your using a green screen. in this you will also be able to use video for example a racing track.

14/11/11 Filming Rooftop

today we filmed on the root top of sidney stringer academy. we filmed Haris Umair's part and also made him sing the whole, we did this because we wanted to make sure that if the narrative doesn't fit in well we have a backup and also it might make the music video look better and more understandable. in today's filming Kashif was the clipper, I was the director and Munashe was the camera man which gives everyone to use the camera.
