editing suite [screen grabs]

Today, Monday 6th December 2010 me and my group did some more editing and syncing. We have also decided to put a whole master shot in our music video as I intend to cut in and out of the master shot with other footage clips that I have. We also took some screen grabs/screen shots today to show evidence of editing and progress throughout the music video. Here are the screen grabs that were taken today.

The outlook I am trying to achieve from these screen grabs are

to portray the artist through mise en scene, camera and editing. This is shown through locations and setting used in these screen grabs where he is seen as a young london boy that has grew up in an urban area. The clothes he is wearing portays that it is a rap video with the hood, baggy clothes and facial expressions. His body language is mostly open which shows how he expresses his emotions towards the audience as meaniful and optimistic. Colour and lighting has been contrasted here which is very important. I have left lighting to be bright and colourful as we want to focus on the artist's features from different camera angles. Camera has been very important here as we have seen that camera angles and shots create different effects to position the audience. We have used various amounts of camera shots such as mid shot, long shot, close ups, straight eye level angle shot, high angle shot and low angle shot.
