Pitch for my Music video
1) For my brief,
I have chosen to make a Music video along with A Digipak and an advertisement
for the digipak/artist. I chose this brief mainly because I wanted to make a
full short film, but I wanted to use my tight editing skills to make something
interesting. I am bad at writing scripts so I came to the conclusion that I
should just make a music video. I have a very clear idea of what song genre I
would like to use, but also I want to make a different style of music video. I
dont want to include the artist in the video, I want it to have a story line
and to be as interesting as possible. Essentially, my aim is to created a shot
film but in the style of a music video.
2) The sub-tasks
I have decided to chose are the digipak and the digipak advertisement. I was
contemplating making a website for it, but I figured it would be too much work
and making an actual pack would be more interesting. When it comes to making
the advertisement, I think I'll make one for the artist him/herself, then say
that a digipak is available to buy.
3) I am going to
use skills that I have gained while making my last media project, the short
opening sequence, and also skill I have learned over the time I have been
making small films/music videos for my entertainment. This involves syncing the
clips with the music, quick editing pace and simple but effective effects. I
will also need to keep an interesting story throughout the whole video just so
it stays interesting.
4) For the main
part of the editing, I am going to be using a software pack called Final Cut
Studio 3 which contains Final Cut Pro 7, Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro and other
misc. peices of software that could aid me. FCP7 (Final Cut Pro 7) is what I
will be using for most of the editing, Motion 4 will be for motion graphics and
SountrackPro will be very useful if I have to edit audio. I don't think I will
need to edit audio for this as the only audio I am using is the audio from the
song. I will also try and use Cinema4D if I need to make any sort of 3D
elements for the film, and in addition to this, I will be using C4D if I need
to make 3D titles for the advertisement. Linking with the advertisement,
Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to create the poster and make any graphical
elements needed.
5) When
researching for this music videos, I am not only going to be looking at music
videos. I want to try and look at some short films in addition to this so that
I cant think about what narrative I would like to use. Another reason why I
wont only be looking at music videos is because a large proportion of music
videos will be the generic, "show artist signing, have some dancers, bit
of a story but not really" sort of video, however I have seen some music
videos in the past that are to my preference. For the poster, i will research
adverts for items such as digipaks, cars, technology etc. as they always have
clean and well designed advertisements.
6) I have decided
I will be working by myself for this project for a few reasons. Firstly, I work
best by myself because I dont have to worry about other people ideas
conflicting with mine. I would like to just get on and do what I want to do.
Secondly, it is difficult to schedule filming or editing with someone else as
opposed to with yourself as you can do it whenever you want. Finally, I feel
more comfortable working by myself. I dont feel like I need too much help. I
want to learn by myself so I can better myself as a person.
