Our Preliminary Task

Image
After looking back on our prelim task, we descided that it was too dark and not up to our standards. We went back to imove and looked back at it again and released that our background was This is our preliminary task. We chose the song Diamonds by Rihanna as we think it links to our genre well. It was suitable to film on just a green screen. We chose a section from the music video that was striaghtforward to film without using lots of different locations. Filming was simple but when it came to the editing process we had to overcome some problems, one main thing being the backdrop. When we decided what background to use, we originally wanted an empty dark room, but we later realised that the height the photo was taken from was at a higher angle than our height from filming. We over came this by experimenting with plain backgrounds which worked better than trying to create a set. We chose the black background as it suited the mood and style of the original music video.

Below I have create a college of images that I have planned to be my 5 main scenes throughout my music video. I have chosen 5 scenes as I believe that is a reasonable amount to use, therefor my video will not be too complicated or busy. The 5 scenes contain: An empty road with a car and lots of colour, a party with 2 main characters standing out, the main girl in white sheets, an empty hallway with just the main characters and then a sunset with the signer smoking in view. My thoughts behind these sets are all with a purpose. The car in the empty road is for the signer to be singing the lyrics that have no meaning. The party is when the lyrics read "I can't reach you even though were in the same room, ten feet away" which shows us that they are in the same room. The girl in the sheets to symbolize when the signer says "I've been missing you, and all the sexy things we do", indicating a flashback to all of the times they spent together. The empt
