Hiiii, Today Moji and I we posted some products on the website. As I have said Moji is responsible for the website but I have help choose what to put in or the layout of the website. For the products, we are selling the basic products such as the sweaters, jackets, bags and hats. Moji have put the logo of our group on the products and we have given them prices as well. Some of them are limited editions as well and the photos of the merchandise can be seen in different views.
Hellooooo, From the feedback Mr. Harrison just gave my editing of the music video, I have went to explore more music videos on Youtube to get more ideas. I have firstly looked at the music video, "Good time" by Owl City and Carly Ray Jepson. I felt that there were a lot of edits and cuts. I felt that due to the jump cuts it makes the music video more excited than just one full shot. The up beat music and the music video illustrate each other and I felt that with their storyline it connects very well. The performance shots are shot very well and there are many shots which makes it more interesting and entice audiences and me more. Another music video that I found very cute and interesting is this Korean Artists "K.Will" and this song is called "Day 1". It is also something about love and couples, so I believe this was a good music video to look at. Also, its very cringing for me therefore I want to use it as reference as well!!!
Hi Bloggg, Yesterday Mr. Harrison gave me the feedback back for my edit for the music video. I have done my edit for the music video because I just wanted to practice my skills and to see what I can do. However, we are using Abby's editing because we swapped roles this year and I did most of the camerawork. Even though we are using Abby's editing, we can use my feedback on my editing to assess Abby's editing as well and so she would not do the same mistake as me. So Mr. Harrison have gave feedback such as...
try to use jump cuts so the music video is more lively and not to long and boring.
try to see whether I need to link the story or not, or how can I can link the different parts up
try to see if I need to film another performance shot, where Abby is looking at the camera.
try to make lighting the same or not as contrast.
I felt that these feedbacks are very useful and Abby and I we both helped each other to see what we can do to improve our music video. Abby did the majority of the editing, but I have looked out for her to see what techniques or tools that she could use to make the music video entice audiences more.
Hi Bloggggg, After a long night editing, I have finished my own first draft. I have just put the shots in place but I have not yet edit the lightings and maybe be some of the shots that needed adjusting but I was really satisfied with my work last night.
Helloooo, After the shooting yesterday, I have try to edit again and I have edited just over half of the music video. It was a little easier this time to edit due to more shots and it was more chronological. I used about 3 hours to edit the first few scenes. However, it took some time to choose the scenes and takes because there were many good ones to choose from.
Today we decided that after school we will be filming the parts that we haven't filmed yet. Because of our actor's injury, we had to change and adapt many things.
today we will be shooting the scenes for the first opening of the music video and the second half of the music video.
Today the costumes that we are going to use is firstly, Abby the main performer will be wearing a white oversize shirt for the opening scene. and also she will be wearing the white jumper in the scene where she comes back from her journey in the different locations.
The props that we need today is mainly the lipstick (makeup), the guitar and a sofa which the actors and performers can sit. The scenes that we shot today was quite fun and we have experiment many things during the filming because we forgot some props and we had to improvise some of it. However, it turned out pretty well and the most important thing is we had an amazing time together and laughed a lot. I have learnt so much from doing camerawork this year because I was the main cameramen and Abby was a great teacher to me as she taught me many things and told me not to give up. Also Moji and Abby have tried to motivate me and at last I have shot all the scenes. I am really proud of myself and my TEAM!!!!!
you may know, we kind of change our plots a little bit, from an innocent girl who just travels around Bangkok to explore before coming back to her boyfriend. However, now that the plots change, she now meets up with a friend who both have a chemistry and they both have some feelings for each other. They go out together and goes back to the girls apartment where they have scenes such as the lipstick scene and the hair scene where it shows affection between the characters.
The main plot change is when the performer turns out to be bisexual and has feelings for her friend while she still have a boyfriend.
We have been inspired by the music video of Hayley Kiyoko, she is known for being a LGBT artists and her music videos also portray her sexual interaction for girls. On of the ones that we have use for intertextuality was the music video called "Girls like Girls".
I felt that nowadays there are so many LGBT artists who are trying to show themselves and show that they are the same as everyone and they should all be accepted by the society.
