Music Video - Second Draft

Music Video Final FIXED AUDIO from Haydon Media on Vimeo.


After recieving feedback from my first draft of my music video, the only thing my target audience could find that might be able to change is the lighting of my music video. This is because I was attempting to portray a different era, possibly the fifties.
In order to portray this I began to think about ways to portray lighting. This could be done with simple tweaks in contrasting on editing programmes, however I chose to go down the route of adding a filter light from After Effects to something more sepia like. Once going through a range of different filter lights, I began to experiment with them, everntually choosing one that I felt nicely portrayed the era I wished to represent. However, I then rendered my video and watching it back realised that the lighting effect I had added actually lowered the quality of the shots within my video. Shot's of the sun that are essential in portraying ther Indie Folk genre became too bright and blurry. Therefore, I decided I would have to remove this effect in order to portray my video in a professional manner. 

Above is the Sepia filtered music video I experimented with. 

Diary #25

I successfully finished my anamatic this week. I had difficulties uploading it, as the file size was too big, therefore made it smaller on Adobe Premier Pro, which essentially takes away the quality, however at least it is still viewable, and it is clear I had planned my music video structure well. 

Another thing I have been doing is sorting out my blog, I needed to make all of my labels more understandable, and clear. So now, it is easier to navigate around my blog. I created a 'Drafting' section on my blog, where all of my product planning and drafts are kept, making viewers able to see all the MANY steps i took when creating my Magazine Advert, Digipak and Music Video. 

I am now busy creating my second and final draft of my music video. This is important as it is where I am taking in all the feedback I have gathered from my target audience. The element I am focusing on most importantly is lighting - which will be edited using filter lights on Adobe After Effects. I have gathered a selection of filter lights I feel fit the Sepia-like image I wish to create, and am now going to experiment with them to see which one looks best. One thing I will be doing also, is adding titling to my music video, such as the name of the song, and my name as director.   

Music Video - Anamatic

This is an Anamatic i created in order to give me an idea of what order I would like the images of my music video to be in. Firstly, I took my story board and cut it on Paint, cutting out all the images I drew. I then turned them all into JPGS and uploaded them to Adobe Premier Pro. After this I began to edit my pictures to the song I will be using in my music video - Birdy People Help People. I put them in the order I will be editing my final video in - her journey through the woods then her at the house. This has helped me as it has given me a visual aid that I will use when creating my final product.
