Re-filming

After a brief spell of editing in order to refresh my braintatorimagination, I've found that although the content of my music video is odd enough to attract a viewer, the video needs more content.

 

As specified in the music video brief, my final piece must at least include:

• A variety of camera angles
• A show of editing skills
• Sufficient lip-syncing
• Shows the conventions of its genre

Due to the fact that I've been working with puppets, the use of camera angles are minimal. I should add a narrative beginning, end or intercepting-segments in order to keep the viewers on their toes and be energetic: exactly in key with the pop-punk/neo-rock genre.





This rough draft is definitely recognisable as a media student's work: haphazardly put together with minimal edits taking place.

 

This is great for authenticity due to the fact that Macro Friends is an up-and-coming punk band, but leaving as it is will not get me marks.

 

Additional plot brain storm:

• Café/Cantina/Public place with the bands drinking coffee with the puppets afterwards
• Change the ending: Puppets were on TV and the band were watching them, crowded around a TV, then peel away their masks. (over shoulder shots, pan/tilt shots of house, close-ups,-mid-shots, low angle)
• Kid painting a picture of Macro Friends ( close ups on scribbling, child's insane expressions, his dishevelled house, etc.) -- but where do I get a kid???
• DEFINITELY a different location--either outdoors or somewhere more mundane. sunrise? sunset? night sky( torches needed to create sufficient lighting)?
