Inspirations

One video that particularly inspired me and my group was the Calvin Harris music video to Ready for The weekend. When doing this for my technical analysis i believed that the frame work that the editor has used is a very effective and clever technique. I showed the video to my group and suggested the idea, however, it came across very difficult and most of the images that the video has used were moving images and were being moved also a handheld camera movement had been used to zooming into the next scene using the frame. So to make the effects simple for our video we used a square frame to easily fit images in and ensured that no dancers went infront of it, we also used a still image when editing. We used a zoom camera movement but when filming we put the camera on a tripod so that no handheld zooms were made as the editor would have found this extremely difficult in the final stages of making the product.

 

 Another inspiration was the Beyonce video to Countdown. The editing techniques that were used in the video are particularly clever and carefully done. Although this video does not fit our genre the main singer has the same shot as one of our dancers. The video also is similar to the calvin Harris video when a female is multipled several amounts of times in both videos. The colour correction technique that has been used in the video was inspiring to us as the effect was exciting and colorful. We used a similar technique in our music video when Hilary was dancing.  For each movement we used a b link effect and changed the colour of the background and also her shoes and colour of the top underneath her leotard.  Another feature that the video uses is two way and three way split screens. We used this effect in our video to show different dancers doing different moves within the same screen.
