Evaluation Question 4 Script

On the day of the shoot we used a Blackmagic URSA mini 4k this ultra high definition camera which has 3,840x2,160 pixels in comparison to 1080p 1920x 1080. Before we could start we needed to setup a TV to display our cameras footage live for the rest of the team to see. This was incredibly helpful when it came down to using the jib and being unable to look into the camera's viewfinder.

Manually adjusting the white balance was the next vital step so the colours looked as good as possible before we could start shooting. Zebra warnings informed us of areas in the shot that were too bright. I reduced the aperture so only the artists straight jacket was displaying zebras as this was the point of focus. Using premier pro in post production we fixed the over exposed areas. The first shots of the artist lipsyncing required a 85mm fixed lens to get up and close to capture his facial expressions. When we needed to capture more of the room we used the 25mm for a mid shot which really set the location of the shoot.

We then set up the digital clapper board which played the song through the speakers. The time code on the Ipad's screen made editing the lip sync in post production far easier. A short drumbeat followed by a snare gave a countdown for the artist to get ready before lipsyncing. I was also able to use the same sound to match the lipsync when it came to post.

We set up a Canon 5D on a tripod throughout the shoot day to capture a timelapse consisting of a picture every 20 seconds. This documented the shoot day for us in a small compact time

We used a composition app on a phone to make sure the shots were correctly composed. This saved time when it came to moving the bigger camera.

YouTube enabled us to research any already existing music videos that inspired us when it comes to our concept. It also helped us to see what conventions are included in   the videos that artists post. Additionally YouTube allowed us to upload our final music video into Hurtwood channel so it was a way of distributing our clip and make it more accessible for the audiences.

Pinterest was very helpful when it came to creating mood boards, which we used as inspiration for an initial idea this helped us to develop our ideas and find something original.

We used wix to create website for DJ Amnesia. Wix gave us the access to various tools which made our product more creative and interesting.
