This is a close up of Ben's face, in this part of the song he has to look like he is really singing the words "your cries". We played around with different angles but the best one was at the side and a close up as it showed how he is in synch with the song and looks exactly like he is singing it.
A close up of feet can represent rush, page, anger and excitement. In our video it is used to show pace and anger/hurt. The shots go from Sean on the bed, to him about to walk out of his room, then to his feet. The variation of shots fit in with the quick paced cuts wanted in our video and used in many rock videos. Clear intertextuality here.
Here i have pasted a screen shot of me, that Ben filmed, showing an eyeline match shot. It adds to the darkness and tension of the video and as you can see, me used lighting on my face to show much more clearly, the shot we were aiming for.
This shot is a close up of the bands feet (all in time) hitting the ground. The shot before shows them about to jump and in the air, then a quick cut to their feet. Me and Ben thought that this would be a good way of showing how we are variating our band shots and using different techniques that we were inspired by from other media conventions.
This shot shows how I had to act well. I had to look moody and give off the impression that i was about to do something i may regret (dump sean). As you can see we once again used lighting on my face. Ben used a small torch which looks like the light of an ipod shining on my face, which is what we wanted to achieve, as i turn on the ipod and the song starts. As said in the story board, we chose the ipod shots as the songs name "cries in vain" links to how I am supposed to feel, my cries are in vain as i have broken up with sean and I regret it/am upset about it, yet do they really mean anything? - The feeling of being upset and angry comes across a lot in metal/rock music videos, for example in "waking the demon" so here we have used our knowledge on what we know about music videos and therefore, have used intertextuality.
This shot is a slight high angle shot of the band. As the lead singer, Ben is at the front (slightly more) and this is typical in rock music videos. We used my coach house to shoot the band shots, it is dusty and old and gives off a 'rock' effect. In a lot of rock music videos there are sometimes 'strange' locations and referring back to my analysis of 'my hero' they are in different rooms each time they sing - we have also tried to so this. I used a slight high angle shot because the band are made to look dominant in this music video - are on Seans side!
Premier Pro:
Premier pro was very difficult to use at the start of our editing stage. So we decided to edit our video in strips. This has been working well so far and we have played around with black and white/fade in effects to see what looks interesting to use and to see how easy it is to add these into our video when loading on the shots of the 'flashback'.
-Here are a few screen shots of what premier pro looks like. The bottom image is the timeline of where you can view and edit your shots. The song is placed on the bottom like and as you can see the shots look really small, but there is a scroll button in the bottom left hand corner where you can make the shots look bigger so that they are easier to cut.
Here is the side toolbar on premier pro. It displays all of your uploaded footage and sound tracks used, so if you wanted to re use any footage all you have to do is drag it to the timeline. Under this are all of the things that you ca use to edit your video/film trailer. There are sound effects, video transitions and various video effects to make your video interesting to everybody.
