Stargazer by Arjun- Behind the scenes part 1

As promised! 
So we've been working on our behind the scenes video for weeks and FINALLY it's here. This is only the first part as we're still filming bits for the music video thus we'll have a second part with everything in there!


Pretty funny and absolutely crazy but this was definitely a good experience of having the opportunity to create a music video! 


ENJOY!

Alike Digipak.

Since we are still in the process of editing the music video, we've started making the digipak and we're looking at other digipak to get ideas.

We've found a digipak the exact way we wanted ours and the same kind of genre though of course there will be things different.

Feeder- The Singles

This is a digipak i found using google images. I found this interesting as this is the kind of idea for our digipak me and my partner had in mind. Black and White for me is pretty appealing because it stands out amongst bright colours. I understand that this digipak has 4 slides however our digipak consist of 6 which is hard but im am sure we can find plenty of justified and reasonable ideas of what to include. 

My Male character's main prop is his guitar and this digipak provides me of ideas of what i can include on them.

Another digipak I found.

I have found this digipak using Google images.

I am pretty glad i found this digipak, it seems like like a student's work. This is exactly what i had intended mine to look like except it will be more romantic. 

Black and white colors for me stand out and using a bit of the red makes it more appealing to the audience. 

I like the fact that it is a simple image and not too much going on in there, this is similar to what i wanted to include on my digipak.

Treatment Sheet- Justification of ideas in relation to genre and artist.

By listening to the song itself you can figure out that this is a romantic song. "Star gazer" makes me think of a guy sitting outside on his car playing his guitar while gazing at the stars.

The guitar: It is almost like a romantic prop in this music video, the importance of this guitar is shown throughout as this is the identity of the main actor.

Candles: These are also romantic, almost symbolises the light and purity of love. The fact that there light in someone life could imply that they have a bright future.

Car: as you might have noticed in many romantic music video, you usually find cars where you see couples spending time in car.

                  

Editing continues...

Here is pictures showing our editing process on the IMac!

Selecting Scenes.

Filming Timetable!

As you know that this time of the year can be very busy for us students with exams awaiting and university matters to handle which often makes us students frightened that we will not be able to give our best thus in order to avoid hectic situations, we've created a timetable which will help us be organised as it will help us identify who is doing what, where and what time and what other props have to be brought.

While planning, we imagined the whole music video infront of us and we found out that we need to film at 5 locations in order to have a succesful media product. Therefore we planned the timetable according to those five filming locations.

Storyboard

Better late than never! - We've finally been able to upload our story board that has been pending for long!

This story board consists of ideas that me and my partner have come up together with so that our media product is created. Each frame consists of scene we'll like to include in our product, it has a rough idea of it's duration, what kind of shot we are likely to use and also some extra notes that will help us.

The Animatic for Music Video and it's process.

Using our storyboard we are to create an Animatic explaining the steps we are going to take to create this music video. With Reference to Camera angles and notes.

To create this Animatic I've used Windows movie maker as i made it from home therefore that was the only facility available.

Firstly I dragged the pictures and music onto the timeline and then edited it. I also included a front title slide so that people know exactly what they're watching.

The process of editing the slides.

Finally I edited everything and saved it to my computer READY to upload! 

Uploading the animatic on my youtube account. 

Uploading!

Finally Uploaded, Just waiting for it to be live on you tube.

And There it is! Uploaded and Ready to watch.

The Finished Animatic.!
