In
this blog I am going to post my completed animatic video for my storyboard
about the Pretender by Foo Fighters. I am going to explain the process I went
through to create the animatic. Also talking about what I learned about the
variety of shots needed when shooting a performance and pace of editing.
For
me to full understand the techniques and effects used in music videos I had to
create an animatic video of ‘The Pretender’ by the Foo Fighters to help get
that information needed. When creating an animatic video, the first thing in
needed to do was to a storyboard of The Pretenders’ video. I would have take
20-second worthy of shots from anywhere but have to be in order. After I would
then draw each shot individual on to the storyboard and edited them together on
Premiere Pro. Later I would than added
the music from the right point started the storyboard and exported it onto
YouTube. As I created the storyboards I learned that there are so many shots in
a small number of seconds and putting them together can create the right pace
for the performance to be at it’s best. For example The Pretender’s video was
fast paced and many shots were used in a number of seconds. The shots changed
between the characters in time with the music, which made their performance of
the video more effective. However, if
the video was on slow pace and the shots did not match up with the music it
will not be successful.
As
I was create the animatic, I realised that the in that 20 seconds there were
many different types of shots include that made the video memorable to
audience. There are many selections of
shots that they used to make it memorable, such as close up, extreme close up,
long shot, wide shot, high angle, low angle, tracking shot, eyeline shot, 180 degree, vertical shot, diagonal shot and birds eye view. In the music video the mise-en-scene changes
depending on the song style and structure. For The pretenders video used very little props when it came to filming compared to other music video, as they did
not changes the location of where they where filming. The only props they would
need are clothes, instruments and other things. With the singers having these
having these things, they were able to make the desired effect for the video.
From
creating my animistic of The Pretenders, I have gained the necessary
information that allows me to understand that pace of the song effect how the
process editing is done. The Pretender is a song that is fast pace, which means
that the editing of it is going to be fast as different shots changes under a
second to match the beat of the song. For example the animatic I created was 20
seconds of the music, in that 20 seconds there were 23 different shots all
edited to match the song with the shots. If the music were slower than, the
editing would not really need to be touché as much as a fast song because the
song is not fast pace, so the shots don’t need to be regularly changed.
