Reference from Music Videos

We needed a cut-away shot to finish our music video. Sarah came up with the idea to use the idea from Marcus Collins' 'Seven Nation Army' about having people click their fingers in the shot. We all agreed that it would look well as it would be cut on the beat of our song.

0:5-06, 24, 49-52, These clicking shots appear in the beginning of the first minute of the music video at 0:05, 0:24 and 0:49-0:52

Todays Editing 27/02/2012

Becky: Today both Sarah & I watched our music video of what was done so far and we realized we need to add in more cutaways or non-singing shots so there isn't a whole block of the same shots as for us it doesn't feel like a music video so far. However, the shots so far that are edited completely are brilliant the lip-syncing is spot on which is one of the issues we had with our preliminary task.
We chose to add in more candle shots as those shots in our opinion, are the best performance shot and we need a more performance based sequence rather than shots of our artist being in many different locations.

Sarah: We worked for 3 hours straight to complete the editing for showing the class next lesson. I am pleased with the video and what we have edited. We changed a lot and rearranged the footage. There is still some work that needs to be done on the video but for a rough draft I a really happy with it and we can use next week to modify our video based on the feedback we get and make sure the lip-sync is perfect and colour correct all the shots.

Album cover

We was told that we need to create an album cover as well as an artist website. Album needs to be done individually and I have ideas for that, the scene where Tia is sitting and she is surrounded by candles. 

Here are some ideas that could be used for the album cover: 

Creating Social Network Accounts For 'Tia'

Within the last 8 years artists have been able to communicate with their fans through social network sites such as facebook and myspace for example. However, the newest social network site which is a more direct platform for artists as well as other celebrities to communicate with their fans is Twitter. Twitter is a social network where they can post something and within seconds fans are able to reply and have a chance of the celebrity replying to them. This can make the fans feel more connected to their idol and feel as if they are apart of the celebrities lifes.

We decided to create social network pages for Tia as it will connect her to her fans and as social networks are very popular and the internet is where the younger generation find out things, it will allow her to create 'word of mouth' for her music.

Her Twitter account is : @OfficialTia12
Her YouTube account is :OfficialTiaUK

Editing...

Hopefully we will stick to this schedule as its a group collaboration so everyone in the group has a say in what    goes into the editing process such as what shots we use, how long for etc.
