Task 10:First Draft and Changes to the music video

Changes to the music video






Above is the current version of Skeleton Song. It includes missing footage and is incomplete. Although some scenes are included we have found several issues with them in their current state. These  issues include:

• Lighting issues
• Lip syncing
• Missing footage 
• Actor

Lighting issues: There are several issues with lighting in the footage. This was mostly due to the fact we had issues with the white balance when we were recording the footage. This has made some of the scenes very dark and would be need to be brightened so that the audience is able to see what is going on. Some of the issues however are harder to fix because of the colour of the setting, for example in the bedroom the walls are an orange colour and so when light was added they tint the whole room an orange colour making the room darker.

Lip syncing: Some of the editing of the actor lip singing to the music need to be edited closer together so that it looks like she is singing the words more professionally.

Missing footage: This is a big issue in the current version of our music video. We decided to make some major changes to the original storyboard as we found that filming in the attic would be incredibly difficult. We decided that instead we would film a scene where Kate has an argument with her boyfriend and storms out of his house. This opens up the opportunity to include dialogue which is often seen in music videos these days. More scenes were the actor is lip singing and performing need to be included as well.

Actor: The only problem with the actor was that when we were filming she had her braces on but then had them taken off half way through. This means that some of the scenes especially the one where it is an extreme close up of her mouth need to be re-filmed for it to be more consistent. The scenes such as her spinning around with the skeleton wouldn't need to be re-filmed as it is suggested that this occurred in the past when she was younger and was more likely to have had braces on.
