From the start of term, our practical sessions have provided many opportunities to develop our post-production skills. For the research and planning stage we actively engaged the Internet as our main resource. During the thriller project, we used our web-blog in order to store our ideas and keep us up to date with our progress. It was vital that we recorded every single detail there was in order to let our examiners know we were organized through out the production.
Also we made good use of youtube, a video sharing website where many different clips are uploaded for public users to browse. When researching the typical conventions for our thriller and comedy opening video. We watched similar examples to gain an insight for what traditional features are normally included. These factors included the opening credit titles, the style of music and the specific choice of costumes, locations and props. As reference, we decided to analyse these clips and write up our analysis on the blog. This allowed us to continue referring to our influenced clip so we could borrow and expand ideas.
For our music video, we decided to watch as many animation videos as possible to help with our planning. We realized that Istop-animation MV tend to be abstract with intricate and finesse visuals. This meant that we needed to come up with a graphically provoking concept. After examining the “Milkmaid’ video, we decided to pick a certain song that contained the suitable lyrics to match our imagination. For this we had researched and discussed Goodwin’s law by invoking the lyrical/visual relationship. This allowed us plan the aesthetic props with ease thanks to our initial idea and feedback from the pitch.
