Comparing Music Video's

this printscreen from the Rude Boy Music video contains 5 different layers. There is a glow on the front 3 layers. I liked the idea of having 5 different layers but instead of changing the front 3, I changed the front one making it stand out from the rest.

I added a glow to the centre one aswell as having it a different colour. All the other layers are inverted and I left the background plain making the layers stand out more.

Comparing Music Video's

Original video from Rihanna music video. This image layer has been duplicated and manipulated by changing the hue and saturation. It has a horizontal flip on it to make the layers symmetrical

I have used alot of horizontal flips in my work to produce examples like in Rihanna's video. I have adjusted colour and brightness with effects controls.

Comparing Music Video's

Rihanna music video-in this printscreen I liked the colours used in the background and the original plain foreground. I tryed using these colours on my work but inverted so the background was plain and the layers ontop in the blue and pink.

 This part of the video uses the same sort of effect as the one on top but a different colour. It uses blue and green instead. I have used these 2 colours else where in my video. The foreground colours and background colours contrast each other.

This is my moving image. I layered on the image aswell as duplicating them. I changed the colours to the blue and pink used in Rihanna's video. I kept the background plain so the moving image on top would stand out more, I also added on a roll effect to make both layers move out of each other and then back towards each other.

This Printscreen is from the Rihanna music video aswell. It is made up from 4 layers one of which being the background. The central image of Rihanna has been duplicated and the position has been changed from each duplication. an effect has also been added on the back 2 layers which changed the hue and saturation. I like the idea ofthe image being duplicted 3times and made up in layers and tryed it in my own work.

Here is a printscreen from my music video. I have also dupliacted the layer 3 times and added them in different video's in adobe premiere which allows you to see all 3 layers. I have added a glow effect on the edges making all the layers stand out individually aswell as fitting together as a whole cut.

This printscreen is linked to the one above. It is an unusual perpsective as the image has been duplicated and manipulated in 4 different ways. I added on horizontal and vertical flips to create this part of my moving image. Each layer appears in time with the soundtrack.

Comparison of Rihanna music video and my own

These are a few printscreens from Rihanna's music video and my own. Rihanna's music video being a big influence on my own work.

This is a printscreen from Rihanna's music video to her song, 'rude boy'.
I liked this part of the moving image as the silohuette is eye-catching and looks good against the bright background.















I developed this idea and included it in my own work. I added an effect called gamma correction to the image and changed the control so it would look like a silohuette figure. I horizontally flipped the image making it symmetrical and similar to Rihanna's.

I also liked the pose in the Original image above from the 'Rude Boy' song so when filming, I got my model to poze like so. Shes leaning over slightly and making a gun shape with her hands. Once again I horizontally flipped the image making it symmetrical.

My Music Video; at 1 minute,22seconds into editing

So far in my music video I have edited up to 1minute, 22seconds. The editing in the video is very heavily used. I have used Adobe Premiere to edit and add on all my sepcial effects. Before the start of this project I knew how to use Adobe Premiere in terms of straight cut editing but not in the detail I know now. I can now add on many special effects from keying and using the chroma key to get rid of the green screen background to completely transforming the image and using a horizontal flip effect on it to make another layer symmetrical.
So far in the 1minute of editing, I have used effects such as;
Chroma key on all the shots to get rid of the green screen background,
Croping the image to clear and unwanted footage,
Adjusting the image using brightness and contrast controls,
I have inverted images in different layers by adding the layer into a new video and distorting it and changing the position by motion effect,
I have changed the image control by tinting some of the visuals changing the colours. This effect also links in with the brightness and contrast as both change the colour of the visual.
I have changed the perspective in some shots using a drop shadow to show an unexpected perspective like in the Rihanna music video,
To clear up an unwanted area without cutting out the visuals in want to keep, I used a sixteen point garbage matte,
To stylize alot of the visuals in editing, I used an alpha glow to add a glow colour to the edge of the layer. I copy and pasted certain layers to make them symmetrical in the video as the moved and rolled across the screen.
To gain the symmetrical look, I copy and pasted the layer into a seperate video, added on the horizonal flip effect and changed the positioning so it looked symetrical. I added on a vertical hold in the video when the baseline beat comes in to show the mix of genre's which also adds to the post modern era.

The editing is very time consuming as everything has to look right in the different video layers. All the effects have to match and fit into the time of the baseline soundtrack and well as match the background. The visuals of Hannah singing also have to be in sync with the actual soundtrack.

Hannah’s Filming scheldule shots

I have put together a list of shots we need to film with Hannah alone which will need to be edited on Adobe Premiere. The shots I want to film are;
Hands shots- Clicking fingers,
Hands on waist

Lips-
Lip shots, (licking lips, biting lip)
lips, nose, top of eyes shot
whispering bonafyde productions
@ 35-37seconds singing 'yeah yeah'

Feet shots;
Shoes, walking,
playing with heel
standing straight

Medium shots-hannah dancing, posing
Long shots-dancing
Close-ups-smiling, looking into camera
Side close-up-singing
Medium close-up-back view of Hannah
Shot up to top of legs
Legs to shoulders shot

These shots will be used in a specific order to match the visuals of the music video. They will cut in time to the beat and effects such as rotation and horizonatal flips will be included. The visuals will always be disotorted interms of colour and saturation, making it post-modern like in the Rihanna music video.
