We held many discussions over what our music video should be, and decided that Rizzle Kicks When I was a youngster was best suited to us and we could relate to the song a lot more. Once we decided on our song choice we would than go on to deciding where we were going to film our video we chose different locations as we wanted to have a variety, we also chose locations which linked to our music video. We used Google maps to Map out our locations and as most came with pictures we could see our locations. However, we had previously researched locations and song choices.
We watched Rizzle Kicks When I was A Youngster music video and noted down many aspects which made their video standout and implemented the key aspects into our own. Once our video was complete we decided to import all our footage to Final Cut Pro. This was the software we’d be using to put together our video. At First, we struggled as neither members including myself Knew how to use Final Cut Pro. However, after some practice with some test clips we got the hang of it and started putting our video together. We had previously attempted to put our clips on the time line however, after some feedback we decided to completely start again from scratch. We had got to grips with final cut pro but there were still many functions we weren’t aware about, as things like effects and motions were needed we asked other’s around us who were more familiar with the software, they advised us on how to use to the features. With our blog we decided to screen Grab photos from our music video which would go with what we spoke about on our blog posts, we also Download CD covers from Google which would also be inserted into our blog posts.
We used many types of technology when creating our music video from video cameras to Computer software such as Final Cut Pro. Firstly the camera, the camera we used to record most of our footage was a canon Legria. At first we struggled to get to grips with the camera as it was something we hadn’t used before, we found the interface and designated buttons confusing. However, once we tested it fully we learnt how to use all the main features of the camera but most importantly the main features we required to create our video. This was left to Shane our cameraman as myself and Suhail were the performers in the video, we left Shane to get to grips with the camera whilst offering insight if needed. Once this was all done we began filming our video. The camera was quite frustrating at times, we noticed the lighting and image quality weren’t the best which hindered our progress; however we carried on never the less and decided to film on the days the sunlight was at its brightest giving us a brighter and clearer image.
