Singing a Duet

In class we did the duet "Dont go breaking my heart" to get used to singing and being filmed singing.

Scroobius Pip songs

Now that we have recieved confirmation from scroobius pip, we can start looking through his songs to choose which one we can create a video for and which will difficult or easy.

This is Scroobius Pip and Dan Le Sac's song Sick Tonight. we like this song and are considering using it for our own music video as we have been given permission by the artist to use many of his songs. We  like the beat to song, it is  very upbeat song. Although the lyrics are pretty difficult there are a lot of hard lyrics that could prove difficult to learn then put into lip synching. The speed of the song makes the lyrics hard to follow.                                            

This song Introdiction, is a very good song and the music video complements this. The lyrics to the song are pretty easy but at a pretty past speed. I like it as it has a lot of different effects and the things he does are very interesting

This Scroobius Pip song, thou shalt always kill, is a very good song and have a well constructed video to accompany it. The lyrics are easy to learn, and I know the majority of them. IT would be a good song for us to attempt to do, but the video uses a lot of really good ideas. Trying to better this will be very difficult but we would relish the challenge.

Finished task- editing to the beat

This is the finished product for the editing to the beat task. I had to do various of things to make the editing go in time with the beat, this included cutting, split screening etc. I found the majority of it hard as getting the editing to fit with the beat was difficult. Although i now know how to edit to the beat and this help me and put me in good stead for when we edit our music video, as i will now be capable to contribute with the editing.

Screenshot of editing to the beat

This is a screen shot for the editing to the beat I had to do. It shows the tools that I had to use to get the editing to the beat done.  It was a reasonably hard process but overall I feel I done the best that I possibly could've.

Editing to the beat

We were given the task of editing to the beat.  we used the song Dont push me. we had to edit it to the best of our ability.

100 greatest music videos analysis

In class we watched a shortened version of 100 greatest music videos,we got up to number 50. Many of the videos were interesting and had meanings to them. The video to Elton Johns, I want love was very interesting as it was showing Robert Downey Jr walking around a house singing, this was very interesting as Elton John specifically asked that he had Robert Downey Jr do the music video. Downey Jr was going through a tough time and had been put into rehab, sentenced to jail, and very lucky to be alive due to his very bad rug addiction. In a sence this music video helped Downey Jr get his fame back which he had lost through his drug addiction.

George Michaels, Outside song was very significant as it was about coming out to being gay. This was due to the fact that he was court in a public toilet doing a "nude act" with another man. The video shows George in a police officers attire, which can show him to be mocking the police officer who court him. It caused alot of controversy and the police officer took Geroge to court over this.
