Planning: Storyboard and Animatic

The image to the left shows the individual pictures that i made and used in my animatic, i scanned these using my phone then imported them into my compute. 



















During the making of my animatic i did encounter some problems, such as the pictures i had taken would not fit the length of the song. As seen below.













Too get around this problem i had to shorten the length of the song using adobe audition and extend the time each individual picture was on the screen for, so that it would cover the entire of then song, 











Below is my finished animatic.

Research and Planning Self Assessment

• My time management at the current moment in time has not been very good, with a large space of time in between my last 2 posts, even though we have been doing work on the exam in class. This is no excuse, and i need to improve upon this if i am going to pass this subject.
• I feel that my use of digital technology in my blog is good. This is because i have used a range of software throughout my blog since starting it. These include but are not limited too; Prezi, for making presentation for my chosen artist. GoMoodBoard, for creating an online about the artist, and how this can influence my music video. Finally there is Premiere Pro, which i used to practise lip syncing and green screening. This was then put into youtube and uploaded to my blog, with evidence of the process.
• The communication skills on my blog feel to be quite good. The reason for this is because i feel i have put a fair amount of detail into each post, with evidence shown about how the task was done. I feel this has been an improvement from last year when i forgot to put photo evidence on my blog when i was editing the main task. 
• I feel that my current research into existing music videos could be improved upon. This is because after looking at A grade examples of this, mine do not compare with the amount of work they have put into it. Ways i could improve upon in this is to make another research post into one of his current music videos or another similar artist and then post this on my blog
• I feel that my current research into potential target audience has been quite basic. This is because I only have a limited amount of content on my blog about the audience that like my chosen artist
• As I have not yet posted about my storyboard, it is still at a minimal level on my blog, but once it has been posted I feel it will be good or proficient
• I feel that my current level of detail in my work is quite good, because I have been using photo evidence to support my posts within my blog. This has been shown with the lip syncing post where I posted evidence within premiere pro, showing how I removed the green screen  

Green Screen Lip Sync Test

Using premier pro, i practised using the green screen and playing around with lip syncing using Rolling In The Deep. During this process there were some problems with the green screen. The problem was that there were creases in the green screen and these became visible in certain parts of the test video. Screenshots from the editing process can be seen below.

With the image to the left, i made a rough cut out  of the green screen and then used the colouring tool to identify which colour to take out of the scene






With the image to the right you can clearly see the creases in the green screen, if i choose to use this piece of equipment i will need to make sure it is flat and crease free so they do not appear in the video
