My mood board prezi.

Here is the prezi for the mood board me and our group created.

Lesson journal 4

       This lesson we analysed digipack's from different artists. A digipack consists of a series of a series of discs/CS's all together in one pack. The digipack we analysed was from a group called 'Boys II Men'. When we was in class we wrote down notes on the digipack about what it looks like (design), what it features, about the group and what can be improved on the digipack.
       After we analysed the pack and wrote down enough notes on it we went into the Mac room to record our notes about the digipack's with the green screen behind us. The green screen was used because when we edit the footage we will apply images of the digipack to the footage. Each member of the group took turns speaking infront of the camera about the digipack. 
       Once the filming was finished we extracted the footage onto the mac's so that we could edit everything together and apply the image of the digipack, this was done because we required the image of the digipack to fit onto the green screen background. The green screen was used to make the image look as if it is actually there.

Lesson journal 3

This lesson we finished off creating our mood boards. Once they were finished we took pictures of each sections of the board and put the images onto the Mac's so that we could apply the images to our prezi's.
       We finished off our mood boards by adding in four paragraphs about the relation between our artist and other artists similar to her, we also added paragraphs explaining the use of the  pictures surrounding the moodboard. We also cut out torn love hearts and applied them to the mood board to make it more creative. Once the moodboard was complete we took several shots of it, we took one long shot of the moodboard and then took close up shots of the different pictures.   
       We then uploaded the pictures to our mac's so that we could start using the images in our prezis. When we apply them to our prezis we will write more information about them explaining why and how we came together to create the moodboard.

Lesson journal 2

This lesson we began our 'mood board' for our music video. A mood board consists of a series of images, writing and creative artwork all applied to a piece of A3 paper to help express the mood and feeling the song is releasing.


(Unfinished)

Lesson journal 1

       This lesson we organised ourselves into groups and began to create our music video brief in order to create our music video. My group consists of me, Michael and Harjinder. This lesson we all came together in order to obtain an initial idea to planning our music video. We all brainstormed ideas as to what song we could make a music video, we were restricted as we could not chose a song with a music video in the recent 10 years as long as it didn't have a music video.
      We then agreed to take Mike's idea in getting a girl from our school who sings to cover a song. This is a good idea because it allows us to talk more about the artist and when recording the music video we can record the artist singing the song in the studio. We had also decided to chose Chanelle as our artist because she has a great voice and we feel that when we record the music video we feel that she may be able to relate to the song.

Coldplay - Paradise. Analysis

        Here is an analysis of Coldplay - Paradise. To analyse this music video this by using Andrew Goodwin's theory which sugguests that music videos follow certain rules or codes & conventions.
      There was little exposure of the band in this music video. The only exposure was when they played live and the shot of the lead singer when he took his elephant head off when riding the unicycle. The shot where he took off the head was very confusing as it ruined the feel of the music video, this is because it almost ruined the video as it left a gap in the narrative of the video, which is an elephant esacping to go back to his family/friends.
       The relation between the lyrics and visual was very obvious, paradise. The lyrics mentions a girl dreaming of paradise but the visuals have made the dreaming come true and made this paradise existant, but for an elephant of course.
       The genre characteristics are shown in this video when we see the band perform a live performance, this characteristic is common as rock bands often tend to play live performances.
