Final music video

This is my final draft of my music video for the song Perfect by P!NK. Hope you enjoy it.

Digipack ideas

One of the ideas I've for my digipack is to have an effect similar to the one on the album of Snow Patrol's Final Straw. 

I was thinking of having the talent, both as the conscience and normal girl, on the picture with either a black background or having the wall of stuff in the background. The outline and font would be in pink instead of black as well.

Filming Schedule Changes

So last Thursday I had to reschedule the date of filming as the main character (Kirsten) was unwell and unable to do the filming. 


I have rescheduled to do the whole filming (what's left of it anyway) on Thursday. I have to film all of it now as Kirsten is actually dying her hair this weekend, which wouldn't look good for continuity marks! 


EDIT: Okay, she's not dying her hair anymore so I don't need to panic as much.

Video tutorials I used

To help me with my music video, I have used some video tutorials that have been posted onto youtube. I use these because I like to visually look and learn how to do things but I thought I'd post them here to show you how I did it as well.

This one was used to help me get the scarred look on the artists wrist:


This one, which I've already posted, showed me how to do the editing for the cloning sequences in the music video:

Filming Schedule

So here is the filming schedule that I have come up with:

Thursday 27th October - Film all the scenes at my house and in my bedroom.

Thursday 3rd November - Film 2nd classroom scene during lesson 5 (free period) at school

Then the following week I shall film the other classroom scene and additional shots for the prologue (e.g. the running down the stairs shots). Date is still undecided.

I'll probably start editing as soon as I have some footage to edit. Ideally I'd like to have finished editing by the end of November/early December.

Rough draft of final project

Below is a video of my first draft for my music video. It does not have any music over it, but it you can kind of get an idea of what is happening in it.

The video does not include every scene in the video, as I realised after filming but you can tell what is going to happen in the final project. Plus it does not have any sound because the music wouldn't sync with the video well.

Doing this has made me realise how much I actually need to film in order to make the music video look effective. Plus, I need to think thoroughly about the various shots I need to include, although I am pleased with the shot I've got already and the locations. They are effective and identifiable to teenage girls, my target audience.

The costumes I'm considering are that the girl is wearing dark clothing and the conscience is wearing the same light clothing throughout the video. The continuity link between them will probably be their hair, make up and a leather jacket. The leather jacket is to show the branding of the artist, who usually wears that kind of clothing.
