Year2 Assignment4: Finished video pieces

All the videos which I made have been uploaded to the Meadowlands youtube page, made by Kirsty.

Short promotional pieces

here are the 5 short trailers I have made. I have tried to get them to be video responses to the songs which each of them uses so that I can generate more traffic towards Meadowlands Festival.












Yellowfish Sessions



this video I edited by myself from the footage which a few of us filmed at Yellowfish studio. The title was made by Marie. kindly because I was rushing to complete this on time Marie with a little help from Jessie also made the lower thirds.

Year2 Assignment4: Crit day

As I can upload some of the stuff I have done now I think I will then I will post about the process later.

My crit day was rather stressful as I've been having computer problems and my computer kept restarting. I had to rely on it saying on for long enough to upload the videos which I had made my shot pieces out of, so that I could render them in class as my home computer is not good enough to do so. Had I been better organised I would have done this the week befor so that If anything went wrong I could have done something about it, but I managed my time badly again.

This meant that I only ended up showing 3 out of the five that I made. Here are the 3 videos I showed:







The feedback I got for these was:

• include more shots of the artists, which my other two do have large amounts of.
• for the Penguin Cafe Orchestra one i should reworkd the view of the contry side as it is not working.
• again for the PCO i should rework how I display the text

Year2 Assignment4: Catching up & Initial pitch

Well its been over a month since I posted anything on my blog, which is far too long. so I just thought that I would catch up as now I have done the pitch and complete the video element of this project!

Pitch

Well im away from home at the moment so I dont have the screen grabs that I have from building the pitch so expect to see a post in a couple of weeks that talks a little about the process of doing it and links to the 2 pitch that I made.
I split the pitch in two. so that I could make one colabarotive pitch with my course mate simon about our preposed mobile website, and a pitch about my personal video which I would make for Meadowlands.

As I dont have Keynote or powerpoint on my computer I decided to make my presentation using google docs. the advantage of this is that I can embeded it easily here,



The second to last slide contains the proof of concept video that I made to demonstrate my ideas. here it is linked bigger.



I was pretty happy with how this turned out. The feedback which I got was:

• The first Shot has to be chosen carefully to convay a message. or should be too fast for recognition but still for a reason.
• Ask myself why have I used each piece of footage? and what it brings to the video.
• Keep the Framing elements and more them stronger and more inportant.
• I could film some footage of the meadowlands site and apply effects to it to fake it.
• Think of how the shots transition.
• The band names should be first.
• The Meadowlands logo should not be edited and I should not edit with the colour so much.

Another point which came up in this pitch for the whole of the class. Was that the maintenence of the website had changed hands meaning that we could now remake the whole site.
We already knew from the first meeting that there would be a day at yellowfish studios where we could film some of the bands playing at meadowlands.
We had to split these two tasks between us and because I was quite keen on making more films I chose to not put myself forward for more inportant rolls with building the site.
