When we began storyboarding for the music video we used youtube to watch the original version and take down the timings of each shot. We then used these to create the storyboard with accuracy so that when it came to the editing of the filming it would be as near to the original version as possible. We drew down what each shot looked like from the video, and then made a note of the character that was in that shot and how long each shot was using the timing bar at the bottom of the screen. We also made a note of what props would be needed for each shot such as guitars, remote control and even uniform.
During the production of the video we used a handheld camera to film the shots required. This was difficult to do at times as it was difficult to get the shot exactly the same because of the angle or maybe even the background setting. We also used a tri-pod to stand the camera when the shot was still or when the camera tilted or panned which was often very useful for filming the shots when the person in the shot was sitting down and not moving. We also used youtube when filming inside so that we could copy the original video and make sure the shots was accurate and so that the actors in our video got their timings right with the singing. When we shot the outside sections we used a phone to play the song so that again the actors could get their timing right so that the lip synching was effective.
When editing the film we used iMovie from the Apple Mac’s. This was very useful because we could pick the shots that we wanted and crop them down to a more suitable length, so that the timing with the song was as perfect as it could be. We could also import different songs in to the background of the video to complete it and make it a proper music video. When getting the timing of the lip synching right we could mute and unmute either the actual song or just the shots that we had taken so the miming effect was just right. We then used youtube again to upload our videos on to our blogs.
