I wanted to make sure that B-Roll matched the rest of the video so there were a few factors that needed to be kept consistent.

• Nighttime
• ISO
• FPS
• Filmed in Jpeg
• whip transitions

Throughout the shoot, we went to multiple different locations.

Overall the Shoot was a success and we managed to get the footage we needed to complete the video.

Whilst the footage was very strong I felt that it was important to go out and get more B-Roll in a similar area to where we shot as due to the time restraints I was more focused on getting the Performances as opposed to getting lots of Broll of the city.

Results

Here are a few of the raw screentakes.

• Concepts and organisation

Whilst planning the shoot we had a very limited amount of time with the featured artist to get these performance shots. We decided that the best way to go about getting the shots done was to meet up in central London around the “soho” area and film within the streets of London.

• Planning the shoot 

Meet up at Selfridges – 6:00pm

Shoot outside – 7:30 pm

shoot in the mall – 9:30

Shoot at parking lots – 10:30

Shoot at steakhouse – 12:00

• Camera and Lighting setups

Camera – Sony a7s3

Lens – 24-70mm

Lighting – Daw 720 with lightbox

Speaker – Bose

Frame rate – 24fps

• Information

Song length – 2:09

BPM – 160

Color Palette – Pink, Grey, Black, Blue

For my FMP after much debate, I have decided to go with the concept of a 3D integrated music video.

The music video is for two artists by the name of 5eb and Osamason

the song is an upbeat tempo that will allow for fast edits and 3D that is high in movement.

Throughout this i will be breaking down each process within the creation of this video.

Critical Reflection

After this I was approached by an artist that I work with regularly who goes by the name “sinn6r”. 

They were looking for a music video to be created and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to create something really impressive and use it to their benefit by combining it with my final major Project.

 the song that they sent me had very spooky and Halloween ask sound to it and the idea to create a Halloween themed music video filled with vfx that are reminiscent of music videos like thriller or other spooky TV shows was an idea that I really thought would work quite well.

 I think that the media form of a music video is very welcoming to interesting be effects along with strong performance shots editing compositing and 3D.

 for this I would need to create a production plan storyboard build a team for all the equipment we would require on the day have a full day shoot and then still be able to pull out the vfx in the Edit.

Developing the concept for “neighbour”

I wanted to create a halloween themed music video,

for this i would be taking references from motion pictures for inspiration on shots cocnepts adn VFX

Throughout brainstorming for my final major project I came up with the idea to do a fully animated music video.

 I really wanted to make a music video as this is the direction that I am heading in and I am very interested in the music industry and being a videographer that works within it.

 Therefore I wanted to increase my portfolio and really push the boundaries with what I thought would be possible to create.

 My initial idea was to create a video game-esque music video that would have no live action footage and would be completely computer generated.

 Below is the slideshow plan that I created as a proposal for my final major Project.

Whilst i felt that this concept had a strong idea and could have been really good, i wanted to create something that would be a little bit more impactful.

The concept of fully 3D modelling a music video had Pros and Cons

Pros

• i would be learning programs that i think are important
• it would be unlike anything i had made before
• required no filming or production budget
• i could rely on myself to get this done
• possibilites for what could be created are endless

Cons

• programs required to create this are complex and time consuming.
• the stylised look is not ideal for a lot of artists
• licensing and copyright issues with assets used may incur as there may not be enough time to model objects and environments form scratch
• the animation team would be small and the load of the work would be on me meaning the final pruct may not satisfy my vision
• overall i lost interest in this project and wanted something more hands on
• 3D animation can often be not that engaging or memorable.
