03 CREATING MEDIA
The first part of today's session is planning how to take forward our hiphop music videos under lockdown at home. We came to these decisions:
- I approach family members to act as cameraman and discuss suitable filming times outdoors, in the woods. I will only need one family member to help me create my sequence photos, and the optimum time to go out would be when noon begins, to have the best lighting.
- Montage sequences: we start today by making a practice photo in Powerpoint using 'remove background', featuring yourself as performer against a suitable backdrop. I positioned myself to make it create the false image of me walking in the woods, and when I put it into Powerpoint I turned the brightness and contrast on the 'create more of a realistic image'. I chose these backgrounds as it fits the mis en scene of my music video.
- A series of such images could be cut to the beat. Therefore, is the montage sequence likely to go with a 'quiet' (slow) bit of your lyrics or a 'busy' (fast) bit? That decision will affect what you shoot.
You have not written up this post individually. There are two beautiful photos but no evidence of the 'montage' work or specific planning.
