    Jess, you have researched Spike Jonze to excellent standard and presented a really great document-film about him. The use of narration over video clips to express your points is very effective and as this task is purely individual demonstrates how you have been able to research, plan, create content, edit together and exhibit as an individual. This is particularly useful as you have worked in a group both at AS and now at A2. Well done.

(Post 15) Ancillary Task 1 Practice

We were given a task in groups of 2/3 to create a film poster in response to a ready made one from a previous film. Our poster was Rocky V: (this is the original) The one we made: We took some photos of Luke in the same position as the man in the Rocky V poster. We took a wide range and then selected the 2 most similar ones to the poster that we were given. We then moved them over to Photoshop and layered the two images over the top of an American flag, which was as similar to the original poster as possible. We then cut around the full body image, in order to get rid of the background of that photo in order to place it on top of the American Flag. Then we added the close up image of Luke behind the full body image. we put it all together, and in the end became a successful poster.

Not a lot is happening in the video and even though it seems like it is not following a certain storyline, the video suits the lyrics of the song. Lines such as ' Tell me where we're going tonight, tell me where we're going so fast' suit the car driving past the neon lights at night.  The second video of the song 'Places you will go' is a one-take lip-syncing performance using different effects to make the heads of the performers bigger. This and the video for the song 'Into giants' are the only lip-syncing songs I could find.  This video follows a storyline and is probably the most entertaining video out of all of the above. Ho...

(Post 39) Final, Final Idea Based On Planning

Our final storyline idea for our music video involves three children exploring their surroundings in order to escape the reality of their everyday life. Abused by their father, they find happiness in the nature and places around them. At the end of our music video it will become clear that the little boy who is one of the three children is the artist performing the song telling the story of his upbringing through his song.
