Update: Ideas - Selective Colour

Hey guys

I've had a spark.

Today me and Dan decided to start considering shots and overall ideas to include in our music video. After Dan had watched some videos on YouTube that would help to improve our post-production skills, he came across this one. This video teaches you to change colours within footage to your own heart's consent. Think about the message we want to get across and what the song implies (despite mistakes and daily stresses, everything works out in the end), I had the idea of introducing our characters in black and white, which will boldly stand out against our basic, one colour backdrops. This will, hopefully, convey sadness and negativity. However, towards the end of the song these characters, using our skills in post-production, will alter from black and white to bright colour, thus showing positivity and the message of the song therefore told.

In order to see how easy this technique is to apply through premier pro, I imagine myself and Dan will soon be practising this with test footage, like we did with the cloning technique we used in our one minute task and will be most likely using in the main task.

Anyway, that's that. Expect some more blogs on the way and bye for now!

Copyright confirmation

Hey guys

So here is the email that I and Dan had to send to Walt Disney Records for copyright reasons in order to legally be allowed to create our music video. Although we aren't really expecting Mickey Mouse to reply:

I am writing to you to request permission to film a music video version of your song 'One Little Slip'. This forms part of my OCR A-level Media Studies course where my task is to record a music video to a song of my choice. It is only for assessment purposes and will not be used for any commercial or profit seeking purposes. I acknowledge your copyright of the material and will not use it for any other purpose than that stated above.

If you require any further information or clarification regarding the use of this material for
educational purposes please contact my teacher Mr Welch (welchch@tuptonhall.derbyshire.sch.uk)

And don't fall asleep just yet as I and Dan are thinking of more ideas for our music video like clockwork so be expecting more posts and updates coming you're way soon.
