A History of Music Videos

Update: Preliminary Task

Hey Guys.

Just wanted to do a quick update.

Expert filming techniques

Basically, myself and Dan managed to get all the filming done on Saturday morning, just as planned, at his Grandparent's church. However the following day I seemed to have caught a really bad sickness bug and have been ill since then. I gave all the recordings to Dan as this unfortunate turn of events has lead to Dan basically driving the post-production stage himself. Luckily I have not completely left him on his own as thanks to our planning beforehand, we both know what we want the video to  look like and how to do it. So it's not like he's starting from scratch.

After recently talking to him I can clarify that the main cloning idea has worked and seems pretty excited to show me when I'm better which I imagine will be tomorrow.

So yeah thanks to Dan for managing to carry the post-production phase through and as always, see you guys later.

Update: Filming the Preliminary Task

Hey Guys

So here's an update on what's going on. Myself and Dan have are going to be filming this Saturday 16th for the one-minute preliminary task (which is to be done for the Thursday 21st deadline). BUT NEVER FEAR! We have planned what we are going to do already and booked the equipment needed in order to organise our filming time effectively.

Here is what we have booked:

So I will let you guys know how the filming goes and when we start editing.

As always, bye for now.

Masking Test Clip

Hey Guys and Gals

So that was fast, here's the video of the test that me and Dan did yesterday. I said it would be a while till I'd be able to upload this but never mind haha.

Update: Mastering the use of masking

Hey Guys

Me and Dan made a clone of myself! See!


Crazy right.

But seriously, myself and Dan wanted to experiment with this idea of having multiple Dans (I know sounds odd) in our one minute music video task. So, we wanted to see if we could actually do it. We found within a matter of minutes this awesome YouTube tutorial. We followed the instructions and bam here it is. This is just a screenshot of like a 5 second clip which I'll post in the coming days. So yeah it turns out that we can do it with relative ease.

Also, be expecting some more upcoming posts on textual analyses of music videos, the history of music videos and updates on our current tasks.

As always, bye for now.
