22.Casting Shots

Our cast consists of three people called Anton Kern who is our main character, Farina Rachor and Peter Miller. We chose Anton because with his style he appeals to our target  audience and he is very natural as well.

This is Anton in the outfit he is going to wear for our shoot. He is also comfortable acting in front of the camera without having to laugh all the time.
Then there is Farina. She got chosen because she is natural and pretty and she was also easy for us to cast.

Lastly there is Peter, he is just a side actor and Farina's boyfriend after she broke up with Anton. He got chosen because he is easy to work with and also he is Farina's boyfriend and therefore they act natural in front of the camera.

21. Location Shots

We actually wanted to film on a normal street but then we thought that cars would ruin shots and we would need to watch out all the time. Therefore we are using the long path next to my boarding house.

We are going to have our actor walk down this path.

We chose this location because we thought we want to present our actor in thoughts but he should still be in the reality. Therefore we thought that the path with the trees make it look a bit dreamy whereas the street next to the path and the zebra crossing pull it back into reality again.

THANK YOU!

18. 5 Sections

1) We are going to use a close up of the shoes of our main actor. That might seem quite boring but as our storyline is very simple we need to include shots, which make it more interesting for the audience to watch. That is also going to cause some mystery as the viewer does not know what our actor is up to.
2) The second very important section, which will be in our video is that we are going to set the camera towards the sun. That is going to create great lighting and varies a lot from the ordinary shots used in the music video.
3) The low angle makes the actor appear dominant and as most of the time we will use mid or long shots it gives the audience an opportunity to see our actor from a different view, which will make it interesting again.
4) Over the shoulder shot again creates a mysterious feeling as the viewer does not know what is actually happening and it also creates the mood of the actor turning away from the public, which symbolises that he is alone and needs to think about something important.
5) First we are going to film the weed on its own and the audience does not know what exactly is going on but then in the next shot our actor is going to walk past and therefore kind of "disturbs"the still image and make it therefore more interesting.

17. Story Arc

We chose a very simple story as we thought it is important that the audience is aware of the storyline.
Our music video is based on the typical story of a boy who lost his girlfriend to another guy. The audience however, is not going to find out why the split up but in his imagination the viewer is able to see how they were acting when they were still together and then how she is happy with another guy. In addition we are going to include parts of our actor singing parts of the lyrics.

OUR STOP MOTION

This is our stop motion video made by Paul and me. It is a simple storyline and quite short but I think it is pretty good. I tried to edit it on Adobe Primiere Elements 9, which is provided by our school but I just could not get the right effect. Therefore I used Aperture  on my Mac Book and I found the right effect. Although I wanted to use Cross-Prosessing, we used the Toy camera effect, which is quite simular. We used this effect as it is more effective than the Cross Prcessing one. It clearly illustrates youth and colourful, which goes with our image.

That would be the Cross-Prcessing effect in contrast. It is much darker and more serious, which would not really suit our images.
