Practise music videos!

So, to get a crackin' music video as a group we have spent our doule lessons creating some music videos. Using a variety of different genre's we experiemented different ways to film. Each week, a different person was in charge of the camera, directing and editing. We were pretty impressed considering they were all done in only one hour and a half!!!
Doing these videos showed the complications that could occur in lip synching. I also learnt how to use the green screen and that the more shots you have the more variety in your music video.

Slow the Flow - Braxton (Hip Hop)

Easy- Lionel Ritchie (Ballad)

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae- Jepson (Pop)

Christmas Medley! - Year 13 media, (seasonal)

PHOTO FUN (magnetic lasso tool/superimposing)

Our first photoshop lesson also included using the lasso tool, to get the basics done we cut out mario and sonic and popped them on another background..

We then went to more adnanced matters making Harry Potter fly over London! Here my attempt, the blur was supposed to make it look like he was moving in motion however, i think its too much.

We had some time left at the end of the lesson so I decided to experiment a bit more with photoshop making my friend look like she was in a different room.

PHOTO SHOP FUN! (rota scoping)

We also did some rota scoping like how the old school animations were done, I found this activity fun, and it might help with the childish theme I might involve on my digipak...
The orginal

After

I also did a second one, experimenting with the real photo and then the rota scoped one mixed together, you can see the eyes become quite creepy..

PHOTOSHOP FUN! (clipping masks)

So in preparation for our digipaks we have been practising our photoshop skills.
Personally, being a lover of 'Paint' on the computer I have not used photoshop (properly) before. The past few lessons have taught me the basics that I could use for my own design..

Here we are making font with a picture as the background..

My first attempt

I then experimented further by going on a font website and found a cool graffti font I wanted.
But in order to use it i had to cut it out with the magnetic lassoo tool..

I then carried on as you would normally placing it on a graffti background..

Then carried on as usual placing the text onto another background

However, because the font was quite thin it is hard to see the actual word, also both backgrounds are very busy..

Music video practise Jojo

JoJo- Get Out (Leave) Practise lipsync.
So in preparation for next year we have started mimicking Jojo's music video to Get Out (Leave)
We chose this video because it is set in a school, making it the perfect location to film as we will be doing it in our media lessons.

To get us started we practised lipsyncing, this helps us get a feel of what it will be like when doing our music video and the difficulties we could potentially face when editing.

Here's the finished product!
