Practise task on the poloroid idea

Hey guys, apologies from myself as I haven't uploaded a blog in like... FOUR DAYS.

So anyway as we have decided on the song, genre and the narrative of our  music video we can start to practise some fun ideas that we want in our finished product. When looking at some different ideas to put within our video, we have decided to use polaroid images to make it look effective and get our editing skills up to a high standard.

Sav, Brooke and I have been practising a few activities that we want to use within our music video. When researching ideas we have decided to go with taking multiple still images, putting a polaroid background on the shots and then editing these resulting in an affect of the image moving yet short movements.

It took us one lesson to take photos that we used within the polaroid images, we found a wall to have just as a plain background where then Sav and Brooke used the 'burst' effect on my IPhone 6 to take 50+ photos where in each one I moved a little to get that effect of me moving.


After taking the photos, I then downloaded an app 'Instants' and edited the images into the app creating the polaroid background. This looked very effective and worked really well when using premiere pro, this task will really help to support our ideas of our music video.

We did find it quite tricky with the editing part of the task, where we found it easier to download an app and put the photos in the polaroid frame and then download them onto the computer. THIS TOOK AGES BTW!! Premiere Pro was used to put the images together where we had to split the picture duration to around three seconds.

When planning the ideas for our music video, we have added in a variety of places where these polaroid edited images will be placed. They will include past memories of Sav and James (main characters) of them inside, outside and also some other simple shots of Sav on her own- upset about the break up of the relationship.

This idea will hopefully work and make a great affect for our music video, we want to develop on our editing skills more and enhance the way we work together as a team to a achieve a successful music video.

We will be using this effect on the final piece of the outside shots resulting in this practise task helping us out a lot before having to take part in this project on our A2 music video.

Anyway, enjoy the practise video and you will be hearing from me soon.
