Pactice of First 20 Seconds Of Filming - Introduction To Music Video (Live Action)

Bellow is an anamatic of my proposed first 12 seconds of filming in which I intend to be in life action descending into stop motion in a storyboard form converted into an anamatic to give a visual representation of what I desire to achieve.

Bellow is my practice version of the first 12 seconds of filming working of my storyboard to test it's composition and effectiveness and possibility of being incorporated.

Please feel free to make comments and recommendations for improvements. Thank you

Improvements I have devised into a number of sections

1. 0-4 seconds key into the ignition

Positives

  • Very Steady Camera
  • Fluent

Negatives

  • One single shot type


2.4-7 seconds CD touch the CD player

  • Lighting is bright and effective.

Negative

  • Shaky and unstable camera which is detrimental and shows incompetence.

3.8 Seconds Foot on Clutch

Considering Possible Locations In Terms Of Storyboard and acessiablity and Schedule 2





Issues and Limitations Which occurred with the location are :





  1. Heavy snow prevented me from completing my driving scenes.


  2. Early nights made the reliance on natural light very difficult.


  3. The cold weather caused the windows to stem up which was difficult to 100 percent to combat.


  4. The accessibility of using a tripod within the car.


  5. The small place in which the location provided was very confined.


Here are several images bellow which represent the issues i was confronted with.



Also which was a big issue was the early approach of dusk reducing light availability as my product relies on sun light to be effective.



This signifies the end of my planning process and the transition in construction and my organisation and process up to this point.

Practice Shot - Lego Man Singing , Fast Drumming , Sideways Shots

I have intentionally used blue pen to show the method used to make the Lego man supposedly sing / talk and the mouth go up and down.
